Wait, what? You just turned on Tank Mode, sir Bear.

Props. Truly.

It has been too long since I've seen the Manor. Maybe sometime in the new year.

Oh Beauford.

brian you could do 6, they both looked exactly the same with awesome form and your stalls were perfect, i say go for it!

brianbear · Post by **brianbear** » 02 Nov 2010 20:48

thanks guys

i think playing with clavens on a weekly basis is helping me quite a bit.
can't wait to show you my new moves at NYJ Ken!

stanford! stanford!

We have a new member, a big boy, he is 6'2 and heavy in a good way (pure muslce), has been hitting good form toe stalls and hitting mirages and working hard on clipper form. I gave him a pair of 11.5 quantums and a bag, and he has been at shred every tuesday!!! if only that one guy eric conner would come back, he had immaculate natural form for clippers and was learning drifters soo well. natural form for clippers is just ridddick, and he of course sported lavers.

Oh well, they come and go. Stanford crew has intrigued 6 players over the last year, and i lost a pair of lavers+bag to one

1. eric conner: great natural form, lack of passion. he came all the time for while, i wonder what happened.
2. stanford soccer kid: super athletic (gave an extra pair of shoes/bag to him) disappeared after a couple weeks.
3. Weird kid with lavers: he had horrible style and stalls, but seemed interested and had lavers!!! but alas he disappeared.
4. conner: he is the man, and will rep stanford hard in the future. Trust me, this kid has got the perfect combo of talent/dedication to do it. BSOSery.
5. Suukie: I don't know how to spell his name at all, but conner's friend who has a little pidgeon toe but seems to be quite interested. He was here for quite a few sessions but in japan or something fro this semester. hope he comes back.
6. New buff guy, sucks at insides and clippers, but who doesn't when they start? he has dedication and is really amazed at what we do.

Every club should aim for 3 newbs a year at least.

worked on my routine for like 2 hours yesterday with steve and alex.
it is soo solid. now i just need to practice it every day!
i have been making some style adjustments, so my game has been a little off.
stanford club is shredding great, i need to edit some footage for this xmas calendar!

thedudeman · Post by **thedudeman** » 06 Dec 2010 21:19

playing with stanford is awesome, dave is awe inspiring its incredible to see what dedication to the sport can become, everybody seems to be improving, but best of all are the nicknames.. ol dusty balls

brianbear · Post by **brianbear** » 07 Dec 2010 09:49

LOL great graphic, C. keep on top of that scurrrrvy.
yes, ol dusty balls is a magical nickname.
my routine is ballin, perhaps too ballin for my own good.
I hope can do it justice.
I may have finally figured out my arrangements for NYJ!!!
Staying with Jon when I arrive on the 16th,
and just got word from holly that there is an extra space in her room,
soo trying to snag that up. I have 9 bags done soo far, hoping to hit the 20 mark by the 17th.
i guess i better go make that x-mas calendar vid :/
soo fun to watch, but a chore to make.

brianbear · Post by **brianbear** » 29 Dec 2010 08:41

fun session yesterday after not playing for a week,
hit dsc x2 a few times and had a believable effort at a triple spin.
other than that, few big tricks from me, but a few styley 40-50 contact strings.
Mudd was tearing it up in street shoes and different sized lavers.
Alex had some good shizzle, as well as steve ducking bsos.
chase was there with a lot of rust, hopefully he can play thur and next tues.
serious filming the next few days for shred global comp, I am really close to SIIICK combo.

Hey world of footbag,
I have decided in a drunk state, that stanford should report frequently, despite dave lack of desire to be filmed... i will try to film a lot more...
and, we are going to come out with the stanford shred manual,
input from Steve G. and David C., and whoever else wants to contribute, written by alex and brian, we are extremely serious about this...
we will take from the vasek manual, trick tips everywhere, what not to do by jorden moir, and our unique stance on shred.

I fall asleep every night watching my footbag playlist on random, and have developed quite the insight (even to tricks I can't or don't want to do) between everyone at stanford, this manual will be the shit.

There are things soo many subjects to cover, but we will try to do so in a very compact manner. If anyone has really important shred observations to make we will likely produce a rough draft.... ( steve and dave don't have time to describe what we do in writing, but alex and I WILL DO OUR BEST to describe what they talk about, esp. with dave)

Who would be down for a stanford footbag manual???? freee/donation based???

brianbear · Post by **brianbear** » 30 Jan 2011 23:06

i think i willl hit 10 fearless within the month.
i have a bet for a free bag by the end of the month, check it out in online comps.

HEY STANFORD!

I'll be in town (bay area) from march 24th-27th and I would LOVE to be at one of your sessions, I realize some folk may be at vegas jam, but I'm sure others will be at your weekly sessions? (bear told me thursday 6-10 and saturday @2??)

if someone could get back to me regarding where you guys kick and whatnot, a response on this thread or a PM would be GREATLY appreciated

hopefully shred with some of you soon!

i hate to update this blog on the basis of bad news.
but yesterday i was the worst footbag injury i have ever seen.
and it was mr. clavens ankle, on a monster trick, he kicked the support leg right out from his already cranked inside catch and bam.
it was instantly swelling, and it made me a little worried to play the rest of day!
let's all wish him a fast recovery

on other notes, green cup is coming up and stanford is pumped.

I wish David a fast recovery.

david · Post by **david** » 01 Jun 2011 20:55

Thanks, Sen. Means a lot. The ankle is slowly getting better.
