Ok, well I guess I will start off by telling you guys and gals my story. I started to kick last summer, so it has been one year so far. However I only kicked for the summer when I had time. Once school started up I lost focus on kicking, and pretty much completely stopped. This was my senior year in high school, I was mostly living up the dream with almost no worries. I started to pick it back up last spring break, however I was in a motorcycle accident, and that brought me a knee injury. So I kicked for about 2 days, then my accident happened. Bummer huh? Well I just started kicking again about a week ago now. I forgot pretty much everything (and what I didn't forget, it is super rusty), and am starting to re-learn the stuff I already knew.
Some of my other hobbies include: It seems like most shredders are musicians, or play and instrument. This would include myself as well. I have been playing guitar for almost 8 years now, and love to pick it up late at night since I never sleep. It really sooths me. I am also an artist (man do I sound like I'm bragging or what, but who cares because it is my blog biznatches!!! Muahaha) and love to draw, paint, and sometimes dance (haha J/K). Right now I am trying to become a professional photographer, and hopefully I will be able to do this for the rest of my life. Now back to some footbag related stuff.
Right now I am kicking with some pretty horrible shoes for the job. They are Circa Lopez's (skate shoes, leather) and it seems like everything rolls off. I'm going to order some lavers in the next couple of days, so hopefully that will improve my game.
Todays session
I kicked on and off pretty much all day. The longest session was about 45 mins, and this almost killed me. I was super tired after, and can't wait to build up my stamina (that sounds kinky, haha). I mostly drilled my basic tricks, and started to try to string them together.
What I hit today:
Mirage>Legover 4 times
Legover>Legover 4 times
Mirage>Pixie>Legover>Legover (then dropped it going for mirage>pixie)
I also hit Mirage>Pixie>Legover starting with my flipside
Reverse Mirage (strong side only)
What I drilled:
My clippers are pretty bad right now, so I drilled them a lot. I messed around with just fun stuff too. I got my heel delays pretty good on both sides, and was suggested to try x-body heel delays, I messed around with these for a while, but didn't get one, oh well.
My goals for the next couple of days:
I want to hit Mirage>Pixie>Legover>Legover>Mirage>Pixie
Reverse Mirage flipside
Mirage>Legover 6 times
And whatever else pops into my head.
Thanks for reading (this pretty long post, and I am very impressed if you made it through the whole thing) and feel free to post any comments, suggestions, and radom crap. I will try to update this blog as often as I can.
Holla!!!!

Well my day started off pretty early, because I was excited to kick, and make my goals. I stretched, and warmed up. Started kicking, then started schooling my clippers. I almost hit x-body heel delay, that felt pretty cool, but it rolled of my foot. As my session kept going I progressed in trying to hit my string, one of my previous goals (Mirage>Pixie>Legover>Legover> Mirage>Pixie). I was getting closer and closer as I tried, then I almost hit it but the last pixie rolled off of my foot. This killed me, I was way too close for that to happen (expecially because that was my strong side pixie). So I took like a barely 3 minuet break, and started it up again. This was pretty dumb because I was super tired, and I ended up twisting my ankle. This blew the rest of my day for kicking. So I took a shower and called some girls up (thought I might as well make my day better, and get my mind off of how mad I was about twisting my ankle and not even hit the string). I went and saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith, pretty good movie in my opinion. That was my day o' crap. Hope you injoyed. Hopefully I will be able to kick a lot more tomorrow.
Ps. I hit legover x's 5 when warming up, so I set a new personal record.
