BEST BRO-POST EVER!!! 8) ^^ thanks buddy (you're so creative when you're drunk :wink: )

Chan-i haven't hit it b2b yet but it's coming soon I guarantee you!

I managed to twist my ankle very badly last thursday so I haven't had a kick in ten days.
(Also managed to "ruin thanksgiving" with a trip to the ER) said my 14yo brother. What a punk!
So despite being on couch arrest I got to see Donovon and Adam shred yesterday afternoon, which is always a treat.

As soon as I am able, it will be bag time again,
and I have some nice new (black/white) lavers to break in and mod!

Nothing to do with fb, but I'll be graduating with a bachelors next week and I'm reeeal excited! Tentative plan is to aquire a job in my field and start looking for grad school options within the next couple years. wish me luck!

Anton's Footblog-Going Guiltless

Post by Anton » 13 Jan 2013 16:12

Four sessions over the last ten days with Donovon and today I was just GOING OFF!!! Knew it was going to be a good day when I did my same 'ol three warmup drills flawlessly and to 50 some contacts. Focus today was the same as any other, hit my whole variety in one session and get comfortable BOPing out of 4adds. My ankle is feeling better and better each time I play since an injury back in November, so THAT'S good. Also my new lavers are getting real nice and beat in. Making a switch from full time quantums to full time lavers was not as difficult as I had anticipated. I'll admit I was worried about ankle movement restriction but after a few sessions it was a myth dispelled.

:footbag: From today (1/13/13) :footbag:

Duckingdown>down>whirl>spinningclipper>divingclipper>osis>pdxmirage>smear>pickup>smear> tiltless stuff

Ripwalk b2b for the first time this last month... and about friggin time too!!
I'm going strong into my 4th year of playing virtually solo and looking forwards to psu jam next week.
it will be great to play with others so i can learn/mimic/take notes/be encouraged/ya know

New tricks and styles since my last post:
ripwalk>whirl bsos :D
ducking clipper>whirl b2b
drifter b2b
atom b2b :twisted:
drifter>whirl b2b
osis x15 (needs work)
blur>smear>toe drifter bsos

my torques have been a little "hit or miss" lately. trying to fix them up and dial them in to the point where i can squeeze them fluidly into any of my guiltless combos. hopefully ill be able to get some tips at the jam next week! Looking forward to seeing new and old friends, nerding out on footbag, and hopefully the weather is nice enough to play some disc while im down there.

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY TILTLESS LITTLE ANTON!?!?! D'X

Like, holy shit man... Your blog makes me wanna poop/puke. I can't believe how good you got in a year. Pretty outcredible and instanding. I can't wait to see in in person this weekend at PSU! So stoked to shred with you again. You and Iva should probably play a lot. You'll learn a lot from each other I think. Maybe I can get blackout drunk again and teach you how to duck your stepping sets this time :P Yeah right, fuck that. Not drinking that much this time lol See you in 5 days! I'll have lots of bags for sale this weekend too, just to let you know.

Haha, wow. Nice stuff man! Looking forward to kicking with you this weekend. I was just about thinking that I had gotten to the level that you had last Jamps and then I come over here and read this stuff and am floored - gonna have a lot of stuff to learn from you. Time to kick my ass into high gear and shred hard this week.
