Re: Shred Collab Vol 1 [Submit your entry!]

Myself and John MacCormack have some footage ready.

We're going to film again on Friday or Saturday and hopefully get some better 10+ string runs as yesterday's session for me was like slamming my private parts in a car door. My consistency is not great as is, but yesterday was just shameful.

Re: GIVEAWAY: VHS Old School videos & quantum 3

How are the sizes in relation to Lavers? I wear a US 7.5 in Lavers. If I was to get a pair should I go for a 8 or 7? I shred without socks to feel the bag, and 7.5 is perfect for Lavers. I've been interested in Quantums, so this seems like a good opportunity with the price reduction + shipping at $7...

Re: PED and footbag?

1. For the past couple years, I've made a point to refrain from caffeine during the year, and then caffeinate right before competing. I've had mixed results with this, but I think overall it helps me. Whether that's a focus issue, or if it helps me physically, I'm not sure. 2. I don't know specific...

Re: PED and footbag?

Has any one ever used performance enhancing drugs in footbag? Would things like growth hormones or steroids or anything give you an advantage? I'm not really sure it would even help very much, but all the cyclists do it and they're not jacked up monsters. Maybe drugs that enhance focus would have t...

Separation of church and state.

Anyone who opposes equal legal status for same sex marriage/unions doesn't understand the concept of liberty and the role of government in people's lives.

165cm and about 66kg
5'"5 - 145lbs
12% bodyfat. I just did a bodpod measurement a few weeks ago (measures body composition using weight, volume, and air displacement) up at school as there is one in our Fitness and Human performance lab.

My goal is to gain 2kg while losing 2% bodyfat.

I'm in Houston, TX and just started playing again. I'm mighty rusty but getting better and re-landing lots of old tricks.

You're in Webster? I live at the edge of Clear Lake near Seabrook!

Thanks for the kind words, Erik. The Kodak ZX5 does indeed have an LCD screen; it's not the best, but decent. I haven't tried it indoors yet, but I imagine the 60fps mode would need lots of light. I took it surfing this past weekend and recorded a few shots. I'm happy with it so far as it's my first...

I sent you a PM, but it's still in my outbox so I'm not sure if it went though.

I'm looking for a juicy, tasty bag if you've got some made.

PM me or shoot me an email: gilbert.james.r (at) gmail (dot) com

Thanks, amigo.

A few tricks at 1/2 speed filmed with 720p@60fps and some shoddy runs as I am mighty rusty just getting back into footbag.

Sorry for necro-ing this thread, but just in case you're still interested in this, I just purchased a Kodazk Playsport ZX5 from amazon for $82USD.

It will be delivered tomorrow so this weekend I'll put up some demo footage outdoors and indoors with the 720p/60fps setting.

Footbag definitely has a positive effect on your nervous system and motor control. Any physical activity that requires quick motion will benefit the nervous system. It's not a reflex per se in the sense of an automatic gamma motor neuron controlled reflex, but a conscious reaction controlled by the ...

If you're having trouble downing lots of protein shakes, I'd suggest Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, fruit punch flavor. I mix it with orange gatorade powder and water, and it tastes amazing. It tastes like a sports drink and nothing like a thick shake.
