I haven't shred for awhile so this felt good! It was like my 'reward' after studying for so long and for so hard. I worked alot on my 'landing of tricks, since I have issue with that. I would have worked more at my Challgens but I lost the paper I wrote it down on!

Wow. I am really tried. I had to get up at 6 and I went to bed at 4.

Yesterday, I hit 3 spining toes stalls. I trying to get my spins real nice and down because I think the look sweet.

People always are harassing me when I shred in public. Like when I am by the bus stop people always give me dirty looks or they ask me to stop becuase I ' A little too close' when I nowhere near them.

Or I was shred at a collage hockey game last night. In this empty hallway and seruity told me to stop. Who was I gonna hit? The invisable person number one? Or the invisable person number two?

I cut out all of my canvas yesterday. It's so sweet, I love it. So breathable. I went a little wacky with my knife and cut a 1/2 hole in my outside. And there a little cut on my right box, but be side that it's really nice. The only thing I have my concerns about is are my feet going to frezze walking around outside?

great reading about ur progress, little tip on spinns i find that doing spins from Cliper are much easyer, the only trick to it is a nice straight set, try infity>spinning cliper, i think that the jump from the infity for some resion give u a wined up for the spin, at least it dose for me

as for modifieing ur shoes, thats awsome to hear, i fell in love with my lavers once i cut them up, its been geting pretty cold around here, i dont know about up there in alaska i gess its alittle bit more colder, but the cold dont seem to bother me to much, and i never lace my lavers so there even more breathabule

Great to see your progress

Zach

Thanks Zach!

I tried spining from clippers and your right! It's alot more easy!

I am still shredding with my sock bag barefooted. It's actually working pretty good. My clippers are really shaky barefooted but I feel it's making my clippers stonger.

I hit my first rake today! After trying for a month off and on!

Now word yet on when I get my stuff back. They said I could have my Lavers/ bags back today but that didn't happen.

Maybe by the weekend...

I going to try to add in walk overs in my strings because when Vasek does that I think I looks cool.

Thanks Daryl for the sticker! It's mad awesome! I love it! I love it! I love it!

Also, Mods is there anyway I could change the title of my thread? I think it's time to shed the newbie and just make it Melissa's footblog or something.

Good news: I got everything back today
Bad news: I'm too hungover to play.

Crappppy day. Everything been crappy from my shred to the weather (It's snowing!)

The last couple of days have been sucky. I been hitting nothing new and my bread and butter moves have been weak and shaky. I think I need to quit the habits that are keeping my game down for example: I don't drink alot but I should move to never drinking beacuse I think it's effecting my game.

Yesterday, I was shredding like I always do waiting for the bus to come. But it snowed and now its icy. When I did the hop for the butterfly my foot hit a patch of ice and I fell falt on my back. The worst part was that my bag flew into traffic. Luckly, it didn't get ran over and I went and got it on the red. Scared the shit out of me, espacily because that my fav. bag.

Now I going to go flim my sick 3, if I can hit it.

lightningbolt · Post by **lightningbolt** » 16 Nov 2004 00:37

Thanks Zach! I going to PM Jeremy right now about it. Well, not right right now beacuse I'm typing this.

I barely shredded at all this weekend. It's been all workworkwork studystudystudy! Blah! But luckly I did today right after school. It was a quite shred. I didn't hit anything new. Just strengthing my clippers. Ducked a few which felt nice and clean. Well, I hope it was clean...

I pretty sure it was clean..... I'm 75% sure it was clean...... but maybe.... aw shit now I'm doubting myself. This is when a shred partern would come in handy.

I'm scared for my bags safety. I was waiting for my ride to come after I got done refereeing. I was talking to my refereeing partern. I started to kick this bag I made. Nothing fancy just a mr. sandman style and he threw down his jacket and was like "let me see that" So I kicked it to him, one kick later it droped onto this slushy muddy watery snow or in other words, the worst surface for the bag to be droped on. He slowly use his foot to pull it back on his foot draging it in this rocky mud pile. So I told he, 'yo bitch do that again and I fucking kick your ass'. Fine, I didn't say that but I did tell him not to. He kicked it a couple of more times and again did a toe pick up with his boots. I told him again. So, he kicked it a caught it and said:
Dude: Your bag sucks! (Well, what do you expect? You dragged it in a muddy puddle!)
Me: Nah, it's a good bag.
Dude: It doesn't bounce enough.
Me: It's made for freestyle footbag
Dude: What's footbag?
Me: It's the real name for hacky sack and freestyle is a sport where you do tricks and stuff.
Dude: So it's like break dancing with a bag?
Me: Well, kinda, I guess, it's like this
*try to bust but due to my bellbottom jeans toe stall failed*
Me: I can't do it in these pants. *I went on to example it*
Dude: Sounds retarded, Is there sand in here?
Me: Yep and it's fun not reatarded
Dude: Why? Sand sucks!
Me: It's easy to stall
Dude: Why is it so small?
Me: So you can dex the bag.
Dude: Is this the best bag you got?
Me; no I have better ones at home
Dude: Bring them, I want to test out that shit
So, the dude proceeds to drop kick the bag twenty feet away. Oh courese, I made him go get it. Then his ride came and he left. I truly afraid for my bags.

you got to stand up for your self, make a point, and if you thought he was gonna hurt mr bag, then u should have taken it away from him, dont let names bring u down ever! some ppl skate board, some ppl are in to cars, we like to kick a bag around and stall it on are feet and get are legs around it. sounds lame but till they give it a go they just will never know, and thats there fult.

i need to get some material to stitch up some bags, i dont think i could make a 32, but i should get some material and make a few sand mans, i could sell them i know ppl who would buy them, i just need some crushed bany or what ever its called (mr sandman material)

we should sew up 2 are best bags and send them to each other lol that be fun.

wonder what it coast to get 35 grams in a small 2 inch bag that far.

lightningbolt · Post by **lightningbolt** » 23 Nov 2004 00:26

Thank you Jeremy for changing my name for me.

I'm no longer a newbie.

DUN DUN DUN

Hahaha, that might be a lie, but whatever I dropped it from my name.

Ouchie, my knees fudged up. Whenever I do anything besides walking on it I get these horriable pains. Right in the knee cap/shin area. Today, I fell on the ice since it poured down rain yesterday than froze again. It was horriable, the roads are like a ice rink and just to give you a idea how bad it rained. It made the ice about 3 inchs thick on the hockey rinks. No ice was there before. So back to my story, I fell on my way home from school. Danmmit I knew I should have stayed home but nooooooo I had to go to stupid ass school. (wow for so reason I almost typed the g word and thats werid because I never use that word.) So anyways, I fell and my knee like locked up. Very weird.

I color my lavers these funky colors they look so cool! But my parents say they were too rough looking or something so I can't wear them out... or that what they said... they can't really stop me for wearing them unless they burn them or something. That would really suck. So, I got my stock Lavers and cut out the canvas so I have a shredable shoe when i go out. All I got to say about that, is that it's gonna be a sad day when my lavers pass away. I love them so much! I post some pictures as soon as my cam. stops having it's moment.

Should I cut off the walls on my new lavers?

Dude! I'm so excited! When I was walking over the bridge by my house I saw these words 'www.footbag.org' and 'Play footbag -- www.footbag.org'. DAMN! If only I knew who it was! I'm so excited that somebody in my 'hood shreds!SO IF THAT WAS YOU WHO WROTE THAT ON THE BRIDGE BY LAKE OTIS PARKWAY SCHOOL PM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zach, I'm so down to trade bags. I working on one for Chris right now but after that I so send you one. Hahaha, if we send the bags out a the exact same time yours will get to me first because all the mail flys up here in a airplane. Your get driven by a truck. Alaska so great.... not really.

But if anybodys wants to trade with me or just wants a free bag pm me or something because I down with making bags. I love making bags. There fun to stich.

Also, I'm trying to get AFA or Anchorage freestyle asscoiation off the ground. So far I got one hot lead on this one guy. He can stall very well which is a postive sign.

This was a whole lot of random ness.

Icky, I have to go to the dennist at 8 tommo.... actually, today I guess. Wish me lucky. I fucking hate the fucking godamn fucking dennist fucking fuck... fuck. Okay, I'm good. I'm good. I'm done.

I been hitting alot of new things but I'm sleppy and I'm gonna go to sleep.

Later alligator

After a while crocidile

Ouch.

I got this hugeous bruis on my ankle. I wraps half way around my ankel and it's about a inch tall. I barely can move my ankel without it hurting like hell. It's aslo pretty swollen. It happened when I was playing hockey and I took a shot right in my ankel. If I would have knew it gonna hurt like this I would have let that puck go by.

I have a soild whirl on BOTH SIDES! I'm working on a swirl but I'm having a hard time with that move. I also hitted a dimwalk but not bothsides sadly. This injury pissing me off. I'm really close to hiting a smear. Damn.

Thats pretty much it.

Oh yeah on a differnt tangnet. I'm a referee of hockey and I gave a kid a game misconduct for kicking today. (I can still skate on my ankel but not jump or anything) It was crazy. He fell in the crease and tried to kick somebody. So, I didn't know what to do so I asked the other ref on the ice and he said it was a match peanlty (the player suspended in till some metting where they tell him how many games he must sit out. A game miscounduct is when the kids sits out 2) so I kicked the kid off the ice and gave him a match. Them when I was getting off the ice all the parents kept telling me what they saw and what they thought what happened. Like I couldn't see form where I was standing which was right in the middle of the play! So, after reading the rule I gave the kid a game. He didn't make conact.

I just thought I share.

I'm a outtie

Hi Melissa !
This is Daryl from munich, germany...
First of all you get a truckload of props
and a bucha roses for your determination
and all your progress !!!
Its allmost unbelievable how someone
manages to shred alone and to improve
nevertheless...hopefully you will find some
body to join in soon .
I#m still amazed by your bothsidedness with whirls ;
i mean i havent even footed one yet...i love elves
very much so i'm more of a pixie man myself, and
i will start to work on atomic sets tomorrow.
Lets keep in touch, and good luck with smear, you will
get it down soon...can you hit pixie legover yet...if not
i suggest to learn that one first, since its a little easier
and it gives you some experience on how to pixie correctly,
so that you can link any dex to it .
Bye,
d-man

lightningbolt · Post by **lightningbolt** » 02 Jan 2005 17:40

Thanks Daryl! Like you said I schooled pixie legovers really hard and they made smears alot more simple! Excellent advice!!!!!!!

Horriable fucking news: I broke my ankel!

It happened when I was playing hockey and I took a check bad. Really bad. But on the bright side I'm going to school atw on my flipside!

hacksterbator · Post by **hacksterbator** » 02 Jan 2005 20:41

oh shit! hope you get back from that injury quickly, and don't lose the enthusiasm! footbag players with injuries make me feel so happy that i can still bust. hope it heals quickly.

Spadrick · Post by **Spadrick** » 03 Jan 2005 18:42

Oh man! Thats gotta be the worst injury for a footbager!

I hope you get well soon so you can shred.

lightningbolt · Post by **lightningbolt** » 06 Jan 2005 00:54

Wow. The Andrew Grant and The Adam Dexter commented on MY footybloggy thingy. This is going high class.

Anyways, I tried shredding with my left foot and useing my crutches to support me. Did not work out. I fell many of times. I'm getting pretty good at moving about in my crutches. I can actually good up stairs now.

Woooow. Ima good.

I'm waiting for virus scan to do its thing. Damn, if we have one I am so fucking screwed! My parents are parnoid about that type of thing.

Hope I don't have a trojan. I got three off of going to blackboard the site i have to go to for school!

I download MSN Beta. Pretty sweet.

I'm out of crap to say.

lightningbolt · Post by **lightningbolt** » 08 Jan 2005 01:39

I feel really depressed right now. I feel so empty.

I have nothing to look foward to. I can't shred! I can't do anything! I'm stuck doing nothing!
I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to hear that melissa. good luck on recovery.....take up stitching while you're still broken....you'll find it as a zen art and quite stabby if you do it wrong........ow my fingers

lightningbolt · Post by **lightningbolt** » 20 Jan 2005 17:06

Thanks!

I tried to stich a little. I got some good looking bags. I on't know how shredable since I haven't tested them out yet.,

Just a little story:

At the same time I broke my foot in hockey, I alway hit my elbow really hard and I wasn't wear any elbow pads because I forgot them and I still wanted to play. So anyways around 3 weeks later last night I felt reall bad. I woke up around 3 with a fever and my heart was pumping crazy fast. So I woke my sister up and she went and got my parents who took me to the hospital since my tempature was 103.6 and again the heart. Well, its turns out when I fell I broke some fulid sack in my elbow that went untreated for a while and it spread to my kidneys and other parts. They say if I didn't wake up at three it could have been alot worse. So now I'm just chilling in the hospital. I get to go home later on tonight.

The good news is that I get my cast off the 25th. But I have to wear a brace for a couple of weeks. So I'm gonna be back soon!

You know what that means... Learn to juggle!

Plus, you can use your bags that you've been sewing to juggle with, and everyone loves to juggle... I think...
