Had another session today. Nothing special, mainly worked on butterflys and clipper stuff. I managed to hit a couple left side illusions mid-string today which was pretty satisfying, even though the right side is still terrible.

I also realized today that my right knee bends inward, when doing tricks and when just standing. My left one seems to be fine, though. I think thats the reason my right side fairys are good but the left side sucks and its why when I toe set anything on my right side the bag sometimes comes up and hits my kneecap or strays to the right side of my body. When I concentrated hard on setting the bag straight up without bending my knee inward it seemed to be fine, but its going to take a while for that to become second nature. Not sure why it does this, or why I've never noticed this before :(

Had a shitty session last week. Felt like shit. Played like shit. I couldn't hit some very basic stuff that I can usually do 99% of the time.

Hopefully tomorrow's session will be muchh better.

Hey I noticed you're from Forked River NJ. I have a shore house down there so I'll probably be down once or twice this summer. How's the shred scene around there?

Haven't posted in a while. I haven't really been playing much. I had the first session with Jordan today in a long time. I've had a lot of other things going on that kind of put footbag at the end of my priorities list. Today was pretty nice. I hit a few things I've never hit, but when Jordan came up with a game to try to hit 100 tiltless in five runs I realized how shitty my strings and consistency really are. I think in all my attempts my longest string was like 10 tiltless. I couldn't think of anything to do after I hit all the tricks I wanted to do. I think that when the summer is over I'll have a ton more time to work on my weak points. But until then, my game is gone stay pretty bad with almost no time to play.

Highlights:

:arrow: Osis>ss Clipper>rpt.

:arrow: Ripwalk! (really big for me even though it wasn't really something I even wanted to do)

:arrow: Clipper>ss Mirage>rpt. for quite a few contacts

Yeah you're right, you should start with the basics and keep doing them until you have them down. I, however, didn't do that.

I'd hardly say it worked for me. I can do a couple tricks that are fairly complicated, but my string length and consistency are so bad that I can't hold a long string of only tiltless tricks.
