Sorry for the not-so-interesting feedback, but there really is nothing more I can say than

Disgusting!

Props on that man! It's funny because you hit your first triple today and I hit my first double today.

Double ATW 3 times, technically two though because the first one that I got on camera was "the". Major props though bud!

thx for the comments, way to start a third page

I haven't had internet for a few days, I'm typing this post up on another internet connection. Good shred recently though, worked on fairy cause my fairy set sucks, managed to get a few fairy ducks off and fairy ss barrage. Also I was playing in a hack circle at uni today and told a guy about the neck stall>handstand thing, he hit it first try and held the handstand for 30 seconds. I was quite impressed and decided to give it a go, I hit it first try and held the handstand for a few seconds and then got the bag back into a run. The trick isn't all that hard, just drill you handstands

I tried a few other variations, I hit the pincher handstand>atw bsos and came very close to the toe spinning version. Also did a cartwheel with the bag in the pincher position, very fun

I'd be putting some vids up, but I can't upload them

some good melbourne shred will be up as soon as I get my net back.....

Props on all the handstand stuff!

Will that be in the video?

the handstand stuff was in a hack circle at university. There are a few photos from a friend though:

Damn, well make sure you get that on video.

Sick picture though! That guy in the background doesn't look like he's having a pleasant day though. O_o

haha the club looks a bit deserted

and free icy poles?

janis · Post by **janis** » 28 Feb 2007 04:20

great day with the club today

19 people played footbag, fun times. Great to see so many new people for 2007.

had a bit of a shred later on at home, finally figured out flails hit some new moves: pincher set flail, cloud set flail, pixie flail, double pixie flail (might have been "the")

unfortunatley the camera I had on loan was returned today, so I'll be releasing my last video(for the time being) soonish.

Props on all the new Flailing stuff man!

here is some raw shred footage from early feburary 2007:
http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/11165

unfortunatley I no longer have a camera or the time to make more videos.

I randomly hit 12x datw in-out before, just been working on getting more consistent with my game recently, very few new moves recently. Mostly been working consecutives, I managed to hit 14ss pinchers on flipside and 7 gyro toe stalls.

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 10 Mar 2007 07:11

Your videos are always fun to watch man. Too bad you don't have a camera anymore.

The things you can do with Pincher are disgusting.

Pincher Ducking Double Legover was sooo nice! The Crossbody Knee stuff was sweet too! I've never seen Crossbody Knee on video before. And I absolutely loved all the Raking moves! Keep it up Janis! You must definitely come to Worlds so we can shred!

thx for the props, I'm seriously considering a trip to the states, but it will probably be next year cause of study commitments. Mabye I'll get one of those around the world tickets (no pun intended), they seem to be the only feasable option to do both europe and the states in the one trip.

Just been working on consistency recently, mostly just been circle kicking but I had a bit of a shred today and did lots of consecutives. I have this goal of hitting 100 consecutive of all the toe tiltless moves and 100 tiltless, so far I've only done pixie.

tatw still eludes me, it's really annoying, but at least I'm making some progress, I can get the first 2.5 dexes consistently now but I've got a feeling my technique is poor.

MatS21 · Post by **MatS21** » 14 Mar 2007 07:32

If you come to states you definitely HAVE TO stop by montreal in Canada so you can have a shred with our crew!

And I'm not a good adviser for tatw but have you tried pixie muted double-pick-up? I can't datw flip side but I can hit pixie muted pick-up mindless, and I've been told it could help in the way to learn the datw so I guess it may be the same for that, anyway, good luck!

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 14 Mar 2007 11:25

Well just be sure to stop by Raleigh when you do come to the States.

Sounds like you've got some great things to work on. 8 ) Just be sure not to burn yourself out in that oven called Australia.

Talk to you later buddy.

janis · Post by **janis** » 15 Mar 2007 04:56

If I went to the states I'd definitely try to catch up with as many people as possible.

Had a good circle kick today, starting to get the old form back again. Also managed to hit toe set double dragonflyer bs (maybe an invention?), it started off as a toe barraging set flying inside but by the end I'd got it totally downtime.

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 18 Mar 2007 11:05

Damn man. Props on that. I'm having trouble picturing it though, what's the Jobs for it?

janis · Post by **janis** » 19 Mar 2007 03:44

did a phat pendulum today

circle kicking is so much fun, especially with the laid back atmosphere of my current kicking group.
not much shred recently, just been sooooooooo busy :\

psr whirl suddenly feels ok, weird, general kicking is getting back to the old form again slowly. Worked barrage a bit, also worked a bit of quantum and atomic, might try to drill these more.

double dragonflyer is like toe set op barraging flying inside.

I might try some more double downs next shred, mabye even have a big session tomorrow afternoon.

my net is busted, so I'm writing this entry on a friends dial-up connection

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 19 Mar 2007 14:35

Damn man. 8 ) I see it now, that's pretty sick.

Props on the easier PS Whirls too. ; )

Hope you're having a good week buddy.
