wow. So as you may tell from the date of my last post its been nearly a year since I played footbag or even signed into this forum. Scary really. I have now been playing footbag 'on and off' for 2 1/2 years, the pattern being 3/4 months of intense drilling and playing followed by 8 months of dormanc...

I used to cycle alot so I'm back to doing some of that. Its alot of fun and its easy on my knees but hopefully by the end of the week i should be completely pain free!

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thom

Woah! Its been a while since i've posted here. I'm afraid rugby and exams have taking its toll on me and i havent had a real shred in quite a while :( Jogging three times a week has also taken its toll on my knees.I've been having really bad pain for a while now and have been resting for the best pa...

I agree jogging can be boring. But if you set times for yourself to beat or jog with someone else it will push you alot harder and end up being way more fun.

Jogging with earphones is also a good idea as Antti said. I dont do it personally but alot of guys do and they prefer it alot!

I can testify to the jogging. For rugby we have to do a jog 3 times a week during our lunch break. One of the guys weighed 17 stone and was running the circuit in 30 mins plus. This was in september and now the guy has lost ALOT of weight is alot fitter and is now running the circuit in under 21 min...

The Bible isnt the only thing the christian faith is based on. There are teachings, promises, prophicies and only way to live your life is all contained in that book. And I believe and cherish them. But my faith is also a real one. I know that God is working in my life and in others lifes. I have fe...

Man that sucks.
Any update on how its feeling?

Hope your back shredding hard in no time! Thom

Hey all! Hagesy I have no idea what cities I will be in yet, but as soon as i do i'll let you know and meeting up would be a awesome. Had a quick session yesterday but didnt really feel like drilling and just wanted to have fun. And i did just hitting runs and tricks that i really enjoy. I've got re...

Despite what you said about negativity I find this forum one of the most friendly and helpful online. If it werent for .org and modified I wouldnt have found footbag and i definately wouldnt have continued playing. I know what you mean about how .org feels but this might be a good thing. When i came...

Andrew you were busting hard and big it was looking really good!

Erik what was up with the huge smooth 'oh so' styley string at the end, I love watching footbag like that.

Props to both of of you guys!

I can see how footbag players could drink too much water (playing in a circle and chugging some down whilst others are playing) However i feel footbag is less intensive, after a long string you do stop and you'd realise if something is wrong or others around you would. Whilst in long distance runnin...

Kicking with the bag is fine. But as you begin to advance and start doing tricks you may become very fustrated with it. Both due to its large size and how hard they are to stall. 2. There is a number of guides to making your own footbag but im sure more will be posted if your not happy with these. h...

Its really poor :( . I have a vid from hackrifice and i try to mimic the way erik does it but im finding it very difficult. I'm leaving Ireland on the 30th of June and im in Aus for 10 days or so before going to NZ and Fiji. I dont have a schedule of activities yet but i should have soon. No shred s...

Props on your 1st 7 add! I love reading your blog, you put in the hours train hard and achieve great progress.

Your an inspiration to us all!

Shred hard.

Atw>Mirage>Pixie>Illusion Rpt Mirage>Leogver Rpt Illusion>Pickup Rpt Fairy>ATW Rpt Try and set goals with yourself. Kinda have a 'contest' with yourself everytime you shred increasing the amount of repetitions of each drill. And remember to repeat each drill helping to improve BOTH SIDES! Hope it he...

I had a really horrible start to my session tonight. I got light headed straight away and was rushing into everything and really struggling to hit even my simple drills. I took a break, ate some cereal and completed a chemistry paper. Refeulled and determined my session completely changed. Hagesys d...

lol. Thanks anyway man. I had a short session today. I'm feeling alot better kicking these days. Runs are getting longer and more consistent and drilling is definately the way to progress (thanks hagesy!) I've started drilling my butters and pdx's again. Butters are feeling better and i was setting ...

Just finished kicking. Was feeling abit rough earlier so i had a pretty laid back session. I really enjoyed it and worked alot on my clippers. I was talking to Iain on chat and he suggested clipper>ssclipper>oppclip>oppclip. well i think thats what it was. I really liked it and the rest of my drills...
