I'm 10 days out from my ankle sprain now.  The good news is that my initial assessment appears correct: it's a bad sprain that'll sideline me for a while, but not bad enough to require surgery or a boot.  The bad news is that my initial assessment appears correct: it's a bad sprain that'll sideline ...

I think YouTube is best, as then a playlist can be made of all the THREE entries.

Fixed it for you.

I got in a shred Saturday.  Conditions were good so I was optimistic I'd have a fun session.  Things were going pretty well until around the 30 minute mark, when I turned my left ankle super badly on a nemesis attempt.  I had hit one a couple minutes earlier, but wanted to get a deeper barfly dex on...

Nice TJ! I need to get back into these.

Also, RIP: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/02/nyre ... crash.html

mainly made this post to share this top-post painting: Ugh, that's a FANTASTIC TPP.  :o Love it.  My respect for Jokic's game really went up this post season.  Especially in the Clippers series.  I think if he can reduce the number of his silly frustration fouls and if MPJ can develop into a more r...

Weird and constantly changing weather has made it tricky to play lately.  Denver Autumn weather always yo-yos between too hot and too cold, and this year the air quality has added another wildcard to the mix.   I snuck in a session over the weekend.  I didn't have enough energy to play well, but I k...

Looks a bit like rotor without the dex?

Air quality has been fluctuating between good and bad lately. The trick is being flexible and being ready to play on a moment's notice when conditions allow. I still want to shoot entries for JFC 2020, but the air hasn't let me. Happily, I did manage to squeeze in a session and shoot some stuff. I d...

glad the air quality improved there, we're still pretty terrible out in california.. Yeah, whenever I want to complain about the bad air quality I catch myself because I understand how much worse it is for other parts of the country. Like, it sucks that we can't take the kid outside to play and tha...

Incidentally, I thought about doing something similar, but was thinking more along the lines of making a short video saying hi to everyone there That thought crossed my mind too, but then I got all self-conscious about how bad my Japanese has deteriorated.  :oops:  Maybe I should binge more Terrace...

Thanks Dan. As time passes I'm able to view Worlds 2020 with hindsight, and consequently I am more able to internalize it as a success. I'm proudest and happiest about how routines and Shred Off turned out, but the tournament as a whole was also one of my best and for that I feel proud. I actually w...

Yeah, it's pretty neat that the NBA is still involving fans despite the challenges of the bubble. I also think we're all kind of taking for granted how well the NBA has executed the bubble. It's been over a month, tons of players, tons of staff, and not a single positive case. It's jarring to compar...

More details released today:http://footbag.jp/jfc/2020/ Also not clear if this is only open to Japanese players, or if anybody can participate. Looks like it's open to anybody who currently lives in Japan. That's pretty cool. That means TJ or me could have competed when we lived there. I'm not sure ...

I agree that DLO is maybe the worst offender in terms of being straight up misleading/incorrect. I also feel some annoyance at tricks like blurrier and blurriest. They were undoubtedly hard tricks when they were named, but they've been surpassed by so many other tricks which are faster...how can ste...

Thought the barrages looked great! I personally find barrage from toe a lot easier than clipper. Maybe it's the foot switching timing, or the placement. As for bags, is there any reason you prefer lead? I know a lot of stitchers avoid lead these days. My personal favorite bags are Ivan Iakimenko bag...

Jay reminded me of this thread today, pointing out the meta level of having nostalgia about a nostalgia thread. I agree though.

we were talking about getting organised the footage, at least from finals, of all the different world championships I think that's a great idea. I loved the Finals night show, but it is hard to ask an acquaintance to watch a 90 minute video when you may only want to showcase to them a single event ...

yeah I think that live chat feature only works when it's a premiere, it doesn't stick around afterwards. I'm not sure how the chat replay works.  All the 2019 Worlds videos still have the chat replay functional: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu2u1A9s-Zs   Anyway, I recently stumbled across this b...

Even just being close enough to have smoke in the air for days and day is not pleasant at all. Bad air persists, so I haven't played in a week.  Beyond footbag though the air quality has forced us to keep Griffin indoors 24/7 so he's been cranky and bouncing off the walls as a result.  Can't wait t...
