2015 Link of the Day

[boyle]

I haven't got off to a good start to the link of the day, but everything is up to date. The early rounds are all fairly easy, so you should be able to do them quite quickly.

Check on this post http://sportslashlife.com/footbag-joulu ... f-the-day/ for the most up to date versions, for the moment I will just post the combos and will put in some videos in the future (there are videos embedded into that post)

There will be two combos to each day. This post will be updated with the new combos and you can post your efforts in the thread. I'm making things a bit easier than the last couple of years to start off and hopefully that will keep people in the game a bit longer.

Oh I love this. Great choice of tricks. Big plus for keeping the level down (at least in the beginning) so everyone can participate and for the toe/clipper division. So far it is perfect, I've seen a lot of really awful Requests/LOTD choices (I've seen Near Drifter in a toe combo before ). If it continues this way, you'll earn my eternal respect.

Edit: Question, do we hit the combos on both sides?

[boyle]

You don't have to, but you can if you want. I know in previous years I have been out within the first days, so hopefully people can last a bit longer in this one.

[Junior]

Best way to get back in the game!) So, here are my attempts:

[Junior]

Hey, guys? Where are days 7 and 8?)

[boyle]

Sorry junior, got a bit delayed. I am travelling today. Day 7 combo is Ripwalk> sidewalk or plo> tripwalk I will have day 8 and 9 up later today.

[Sporatical_Distractions]

The previous LOTD's had an intermediate and advanced challenge. These ones seem like they are the same in difficulty. Is this new season more like request contest where you have an option between the two combos?

[boyle]

Yep, more like request. Also, previous editions had a host with higher options in terms of difficulty. So I am trying to make a wide range of tricks, mainly one toe based and one clipper based.

To win. ..a prize of nothing. ...You have to hit all 48 of the combos.

[boyle]

The difficulty is going to vary a bit on the upcoming combod, as I said in the last post I will try and make things more about variety, so each combo might not be at the same level.

[Sporatical_Distractions]

Swag swag swag haha

[boyle]

I am having a bit of trouble with the embedding in the post. So you can see all the links directly on my instagram - https://www.instagram.com/boylefootbag/

Filmed Krystof doing the first 10 days and tried them myself. I will probably film the rest with him, he might be able to complete them all.
As for me, I had fun trying them and I still will, but they're getting too hard Too much Fairy and Ducking

[C-Fan]

I fully intend to participate in this. Combination of snowy weather and my right G-Unit falling completely apart has slowed me down. I think this is all of the first 7 days both sides:
I'll try and mod a new pair of shoes this week, and hit the rest of the days this weekend. The only one I think I might not be able to get is the fairy ducking legover one. We'll see.

Thanks for keeping this tradition alive!

Good stuff, Ken

I hit that Fairy link finally, now I'm stuck on Revup

[boyle]

Day 16 links are both clipper based, it'll be two toe combos for 17.

[boats]

Heres Links 1-16. I feel like some of these tricks are a little above my level and may look sloppy. Cool to be trying new links!

[C-Fan]

Weather was borderline good enough to play outside, so I planned on knocking a bunch of these out. But then I forgot my phone, so I had to try and remember combos. I did better remembering than I thought, but I made some mistakes, and I forgot about some combos entirely. Poop. Hopefully Atlanta is warm enough to play, and I can fill in the gaps.

[boats]

Chris and I hit some of the links of the day today. Here are the results. I have managed to hit at least one of the two choices for every day so far (up to day 20)!!! First time I have ever hit spinning ducking legover and pixie paradon. Super pumped about pixie paradon considering that i have been trying that trick for a long time now.

[Add Block]

Link 21 is not a Terrawhirl, you're missing a full DEX. Also Terrawhirl does not exist, the trick was invented by Ryan who never named any of his inventions.

For Terraging SS Clipper, your leg would have to land behind the bag after the two dexes, to make a clipper. You're landing into a Butterfly. I don't think you can name it Terraging Butterfly, though, that's like doing a Toe set and calling it Pixie Fairy.

I was trying to make your trick work like a year ago, but there isn't a notation that would describe it. The only way I could describe it was as Reverse Butterfly, but I didn't think people would accept it.

[boyle]

I will film something new for that day's combo. The original combo I planned, I kept dropping, so hopefully I can do that. So I will just leave that blank for the moment and set up something new.
