Serious props on that - I'm a few months behind you on that combo, but that did inspire me to step out of a torque yesterday for the first time. Torque is such a rewarding trick when you hit a good one. Keep up the good shred.

Thanks man and god yes does it feel good when you hit one with a perfect catch. I've tried stepping out of torque but haven't had a great one yet, I'll keep drilling Far osis>Ripwalk repeat for help on that.

Slow down, I can't keep up :D

Atom b2b looks cool. I'm calling Rubberman in the near future

Depending on your definition of near future you won't be far off. I've been working on the different two trick combos within the drill. Going to aim for 3 contacts bs in the next two weeks and then work on putting them together in the 2-4 weeks following

I didn't plan on playing today because of some leg pain I felt in the early afternoon. Then Paul asked to play Horse over messenger and we ended up playing three games then I had a solo session after. The Horse games were fun and I would really like to start playing games with more people. Paul got me a few times on reverse swirl and swirl tricks. I really need to start working on those more often. I grabbed my camera for the last twenty minutes of my solo session and put together a short video of some highlights.

The point of HORSE is to set a trick/link that you know the other person has a chance of doing.

Don't do Swirls if the other person's never done them :D

I could've easily just set Terraging tricks, Toe HPDs, Pigbeaters etc and Sláva could've set a bunch of Ducking/Diving drills, but that wouldn't be fun :)

Sometimes it's cool to ask, like I asked Sláva if he can do Atomic Drifter and he said he can. (I didn't count mine though, bag didn't land on sweet spot)

I'd like to play a game with you, but we'd have to record it. I don't think we can play at the same time, because of time zones :|

If that's the case, kyle needed to not do some of those nine add tricks he got me on.

I like to slack off on modified and watch footbag videos at work. I can't go to youtube directly but I can watch embedded vids on here which is nice. anybody have any must see footbag videos? I'm sure there are a ton I haven't seen. I really really dig all the surging sets and takumi's style in this one.

Been a while since i've posted much. Had some fun at the skatepark today with some friends, hit some cool footbag combos, skated first so I ran out of daylight pretty quick.
:arrow: 20ish contacts of Osis>Osis>Infinity>Rpt
:arrow: Diving Clipper>Stepping SS Clipper>Torque BS
:arrow: Spinning Osis>Torque (flip is as close as strong i just ran out of daylight)
:arrow: Ducking Refraction (flipside is close)
:arrow: Stepping SS Drifter (no flip yet)
:arrow: Fairy SS Legover a few times (no flipside yet)
:arrow: Toe Drifter>Pdx Drifter (still haven't quite figured out flip pdx drifter)
:arrow: Toe Drifter>Torque (can probably do flip)
:arrow: Legbeater>Ducking Mirage (flip wont be any harder)

Damn, homie, crushin' them links. Really dig the Divin' Clipp >Step ss Clipp >Torque BS, that's some hot shizz. How about a challenge? 30 contact string with a minimum of 15 contacts of Guiltless, and of those 15, 4 need to be consecutive on both sides, of course. With as much variety as you can.

Do you mean 4 in a row on one side and 4 in a row on the other or 4 in a row of something that goes b2b bs.
Edit: Thanks, Glad you liked them. I was feeling pretty hot that day. constantly working on stepping tricks into ducking/diving tricks and vice versa.

That regiment should bring a very nice style. Have a clue as to what event is next in your Footbag journies?
