I couldn't think of a better name. Forgive me. Anyway, I never thought I would start a footblog until tonight. Of course everyone hits new tricks and feels the high, but this one is new for me. I hit a legit ducking osis in a string, and it felt amazing. My ankles are sore and I need to work on my dexes. But tonight I hit my first TRUE four add!

I wonder what your avatar will be, Jofa.)~~~

Can you hit two ducking osii in a row?

Props!!

Thanks! Still thinking of a good avatar.

These are my lovely lavers:

Sadly they are dying, and I am going to need new ones, but I love these shoes so much.

Still working on two in a row! And then of course BSOS (haha yeah right).

I have the red plaid lavers too! They are unique, but the material was too flimsy for me to do extensive mods on it so they are merely my walking shoes. All I did to them was open up the toe and brocka.

I'm glad you finally joined modified. Good luck finding unique looking shoes. There's a bunch of people in bags and equipment dreaming up new colour combos and trying to petition for newer colours. You should check out their effort.

Jesse, this weekend is Frankenbike again. It's our chance to really show the Austin counterculture peeps what Freestyle Footbag is all about. I remember last Frankenbike I could only hit a couple 2's, and that was only a month ago. Now I've got a bunch of 3's and a 4 under my belt. Let's not even get started on all the shit you are hitting lately, damn! It's going to be super cool. I'm pumped. Let me know if you want to shred at the elementary school again this week. We need to make sure you hit ducking eclipse, because that is going to look fucking sick.

Alright time for some bloggage. First of all, new shoes: http://www.modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=12379

They're breaking in nicely, and I love the colors.
My Pengbag is breaking in fast and nicely, it's already shreddable and in 2-3 days it should be near choice.

Ben and I are upping our games a lot. Starting to get some tiltless strings in, and I'm able to experiment now a lot more.

I really need to work on my 2 ADD dexes, and I'm not satisfied with my weak side clipper set.

Here is some footage of where I'm at as of now: http://v.footbag.org/media/972/atxfootbag.mov

I'm the short one in the white.

Tonight I plan on shredding for an hour or two.

JoFa · Post by **JoFa** » 06 Mar 2006 22:54

I made my first 32 today!!!!

JoFa · Post by **JoFa** » 09 Mar 2006 21:07

PROGRESS!!!

Tonight was a good sess. Drilled for about an hour, followed by some experimenting.

My two adds are getting much better, as are my pdx mirages, and that weak side clipper set is finally shaping up.

Things are looking up!

Sweet bag!!! Does it shred?
Props on the progression........keep shredding!!
Check your challenge thread for some challenges.

JoFa · Post by **JoFa** » 13 Mar 2006 13:43

Yeah it shreds good, although it's not puffy enough. I'm working on the challenges, thanks for your help!

Gonna shred soon, I'll post an update later.

PROPS!!!

JoFa · Post by **JoFa** » 13 Mar 2006 21:41

Thanks guys! Hit some new stuff tonight:

clipper set mirage (BS)
far legover (SS)
spinning clipper (SS)
symp mirage (BS)
legover (BSOS)

Getting about 4-6 contact tiltless runs, which is pretty good for me. I'm also drilling my clippers good, I need to drill ducking clipper back to back.

I want to go shred again, but I don't feel motivated enough yet.

JoFa · Post by **JoFa** » 31 Mar 2006 11:23

OK, I've really been neglecting this thing. After I get back from Houston I'll update my challenges and such. Anyway, my first real jam (albeit a mini-jam

) is tomorrow, and we are leaving tonight for Houston. I'm really stoked! Hopefully my friend Nic will be able to attend (he's tiltless but doesn't have time anymore to post) because it's going to be awesome! I also got my Sick 1 and 3 in.

My sick 1 is ducking eclipse, my sick 2 is butterfly > pdx mirage > osis.

APRIL FOOL'S SHRED 2006 BABY!
