hey i have been footbaging for about 7 months on and off, so as u can guess im not the greatest

i could do
legovers, pixies, mirages,clippers both sides. i have also hit smear, dimwalk, ripwalk, dlo and pixie legover. i have some friends that do it but they are way passed my level of footbag i play alone and with them i have been trying new stuff but they keep telling me 2 school my basics, i can do all my basics but they insist that i do, so i am trying 2 mostly just do basics in very long strings i am 14 i like in new jersey and i love footbag.

i talked 2 my friend justin last nite (he has a footblog here) and he convinced me that i need 2 focus on skooling basics so thats what im starting, its kind of frustrating that i have been shredding for 7 months and now i have 2 go back 2 skooling basics and crap

well i just got back from a 1 hour and 45 minute shred session in my garage im happy with what i did i got mirage on my strong 50 times and pixe on my strong side 25 times then on my flip 25 times, leg overs 25 each side then i tryed flip mirages i have 2 work on them i only got 10 all together and 2 consecutives

o well there will always be more footbaging to come so i will rest and hopefully be able 2 go to stung out next week and kick cuz they didnt have 1 today

this day fucking sucked

i shreded with cheebs marc and justin today at the park, it was fun, i hit some new stuff in my strings, that skooling session yesturday really helped out alot, i had a very long string in it at towards the end i threw in a flip mirage then paradox. mirage. its only basics but i was glad that i am back 2 basics and stuff. also i was just messing around in the woods and hit whirl. that was pretty cool, tomarrow another skooling session this time im skooling osis my flip is really bad.

i footbaged alone 2day, i skooled my basics and did much better with my flip mirages then last time, i got 50 and the most i skooled them was 4 times, i didnt get a chance to try osis's to much 2day

Props for working basics. Everyone does it to a certain degree, it just depends on what's basic to each individual player.

It's necessary, yo. Keep it up and you'll be stringing like maaaaaaad.

Like MAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

Man, I feel your pain. I have been shredding on and off for two years or so. And I need to school basics hardcore too. I have a few 5's and a few 4's, but my contacts in a run are shit.

I agree that a solid foundation will improve anyones game.

*shreds*

hey just so you know...I hear that white is one of the weaker colors....just so you'd keep it in mind and not devastate it like johnny did to his...

rory · Post by **rory** » 16 Oct 2004 10:21

what do u mean by weaker colors?

Atom · Post by **Atom** » 16 Oct 2004 10:26

some colors are stronger than others...unless it's a mini, I hear they hold together better. I bought a red, blue and white abshire and sold it to johnny and he broke it in and within a week of him shredding with it, it was growing holes in the white, but only the white....I dunno..it's the second abshire I have ever seen closely
