Tyler Adam's Footblog (Rt. 422 Crew)

TylerHatesNeedles · Post by **TylerHatesNeedles** » 22 Aug 2010 09:09

Hey, my name is Tyler Adam. I live in Birdsboro, PA, originally born in Pittsburgh, PA. I'd like to get a degree in electrical engineering. I play freestyle footbag, and I'm also big into longboarding. The main people I shred with are Zach Hoffa, and Nick Polini. Sometimes I kick with Jackson Raap, and Mike Toolan, as well. I'm part of the Rt. 422 Crew. I usually shred with everyone at Nick's apartment. I don't like needles. Needles scare me. I've been kicking for about a year now. Nick Polini got me into it. We met at college and he said I showed a lot of potential because I was able to dex and stall the bag right away. Soon after, Nick set me up with my first pair of Quantums, which I loved. Then I moved on to buying my own pair of Lavers. I can hit a nice handful of tricks, as of now. I've been working on drilling my clippers both sides. Getting a lot better at it, Nick and Zach said that they're looking really nice. I HAVE TO KEEP SOLO SHREDDING. More to come later...

We had an excellent shred session today in Produce Junction's parking lot in about 40 degree weather. It was quite a turn out with an awesome cameo by Drew Martin. It feels good to be getting back into footbag.

Some goals for the coming weeks are stepping sets, osiseseseses, and spins.

Oh yeahhhhhhh I don't know the proper terminology for tricks but I hit a butterfly, set it up, and dexed it with the support leg. I also hit a few spinning clippers, I footed an osis, and I had some really good strings of basic tricks. I am pretty much equal with clippers on both sides...

I'm going to start playing footbag with the crew again. I've been working like crazy lately (raking in the ca$h, but after work sometimes, I plan on stopping by Nick's apartment to shred. I'm looking forward to it!

I see you now because you live on my bean bag!

I had some really good illusions

I also magicked a trick up on the spot midstring. Nick is currently trying to figure out what it is. I footed it.

If you know anything about it pleaseeee help.

It looked like pdx whirl almost, but a little more mirage-like. It could be pdx whirl soon though.

TylerHatesNeedles · Post by **TylerHatesNeedles** » 13 Feb 2011 22:52

Tonight Nick had to do this stupid thing called homework. I patiently waited for him to finish, eating tons of snackies in the process. We went to our usual shred location.

DLO

footed infinity x4

footed a duck (yes i kick swimming birds)

footed a few spins

footed eggbeater

illusion

I foot Whirl!!!!!!

I feel like I am getting better, and more sore by every day. I can easily do inside stalls on both sides. I feel like from drilling clippers, I have generated so much more flexibility with my legs.
