Hey, I dunno if anyone on here remebers me. I started off shreding around this time last year. Was going good for like 6 months. Then stopped and since then have picked it up again.

Had first shred in like 5 months today. Only lasted like 30 mins cause my stamnia is total crap. Everything seems to be going good, legs arnt as fast as they used to be. So we should see how its goes.

Just had a 40min shred, and I am really happy with it. Was hitting just 2 move titless strings for awhile. I can finally do them with speed and not have to stall them for like a few seconds. Still working on some new moves, should be getting some g-unit g6's hopefully.

Thanks,
Shaun

Not good shred. Only went for 20 mins. My toe stalls are stupid. I can't get over 20. I have no idea why, I have been training both sides,and doing alternates to. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Shaun

I just really feel like not footbaging at all. My toe stalls feel so bad its not even funny. Reply and try and keep me from not quitting again.

I think self-motivation is important.

As for toes... here's some random tips:

- cushion by bending support knee while simultaneously lowering delaying leg.

- picture a crosshair on the middle of the toe and try to line the bag up with it when you delay

- if the bag keeps rolling off the front of the toe, try tilting your foot back a bit.

- set by launching the support knee and bringing the delaying foot back up. launching with support knee is the key to getting high toe sets

- try standing on one foot with the bag on your toe and move your foot up and down at different speeds and try to *feel* when exactly the bag is leaving your foot (set) or coming back into contact with your foot (delay).

- try doing a toe stall, pausing for a couple seconds, and then setting it to op toe > rpt the pause. Really focus on keeping balanced on one foot.

- practise toe sets/stalls over and over again.

and lastly

- don't give up.

Not a footbag related update. Just a reg blog update cause I feel like writing some stuff, let you guys know how the last week has been going.

Been starting to play alot more pc games, hoping that this won't start taking up alot of my time,espically an addicting game like Guild Wars. Just started dating this chick that my best friends girlfriend is friends with, so we can like go on double dates and stuff(sounds corny). They both go to different school,and me and my friend were talking,and say it is kinda a good thing,cause we would end up ditching all of our friends at the school we go to,to hang out with them in school. Shes always busy with soccer and work,but soccer is over soon,and I think we are hanging out monday. Been getting into bmx alot, I got a new bike like a week ago,and have had tons of fun just going out and riding and messing around with tricks. Footbag is so so, I might have a shred today. I am still not sure if I wanna keep going with it,or just start bmxing alot. My g6's should be here in a few days. So we shall see.

Thanks,
Shaun
