Well, I've gone to and am back from East Coasts. It was a really fun event, and maybe one of the most personally interesting I've ever been to. The event was good for me mentally because it distracted me from moving apartments (which I have to do tomorrow) that I've been stressing out about. The mov...

Awesome. Thank you.

Today is my 24th birthday. It's been a good year, both for footbag and for regular life. Thank you to all of my friends on this side who've helped to make it so enjoyable.

I disagree that all Requests have been crap; I'd say the vast majority of the one's I've participated in have been totally fine and a lot of fun. I also disagree that the links should be released before the contest starts. Part of the fun and challenge of Request is that you don't know what's coming...

It makes me really happy that after so long in this sport you still get the "oh shit I almost had that" jumps after barely missing a link.

Thanks, Nick. I've also read through that older blog fairly recently, and I hardly recognize it as myself. Both the person and the footbag player that wrote it are very different from the one who writes this blog. It's a little embarrassing at times, but I'm glad it exists. Highlights from a nearly ...

Had my first session with Dan today since he's gone back to school. We blew a lot of people's minds who had never seen footbag before, and got some good comments and questions. Dan played really well, and seeing him back at our school spot for the first time since May further showed how much he has ...

I'd be psyched to see those middle combos in person.

Thanks, guys. I think. Good session with Dan in Saratoga (I didn't realize it at the time, but our last at our sweet library spot for the year as he'll be going back to school for a few days) Not that many listable highlights, but there were a lot of good runs with dense shit and fearless links in t...

I still don't understand the yugioh game at all, but I love every minute of it.

Snuck in a 1 hour session before a day at the track. I stayed away from drilling stepping ducking because I was still a little sore in those areas, but I drilled some related concepts: Phoenix 5x bs Bubba Beater>Atomsmasher 5x bs FS Blur 5x bs Pdx Whirl>Schmoe>Pixie SS Clipper rpt 5x bs I tried to d...

Dan had done 2.5 hours of clipper practice so I owed him 1.5 hours of stepping ducking practice. Phoenix 5x bs Spikehammer 5x bs Spinning Clipper>Spikehammer bs Infinity>Spikehammer bs Dimwalk>Spikehammer bs Ripwalk>Spikehammer bs Ripped Warrior 4x bs (didn't have time for the 5th) A clear winner fo...

Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I'll try to come up with something new over the weekend. Until then: Dan and I had two sessions this week. Not a lot that was super noteworthy, but I did play mostly OK (though OK now is pretty good compared to a few months ago): Dimwalk>Spikehammer bs Dimwalk>Ripped ...

Your motion is pretty OK; I think you're real problem is timing when to start your dex. If you watch the high speed portions of your clip, you can almost imagine a clean dex happening if the bag were higher than it really was. If you get into your whirl position faster, as soon as you set, you'll ha...

Dear Loyal Readers,

I'm feeling a little stale with content lately; does anyone have any ideas for (text) content they'd like to see from me?

2 hour solo session that was pretty good. I have a new agreement with Dan that we'll match practice hours on Clippers and Stepping Ducking (two concepts that are challenging for both of us and we need to work on more), so I did an hour of mine today. I think my biggest problem right now with Steppin...

Just got home from a Saratoga session with Dan. It was really great for both of us and we made it about 2.5 hours, including at least 30 minutes playing in some light rain. Dan had a lot of great highlights, but I'll leave those for him. Mine: Vortex>Stepping Whirl>Blurriest bs Tombstone>Blurriest>B...

Played today in the afternoon. I wasn't expecting much because I played yesterday and I was being pretty lethargic before my session, but it ended up being a really productive 3 hours. Normal drilling: Spinning Ducking Butterfly 5x bs Drifter>Blur>Legbeater rpt 5x bs Spikehammer 5x bs Vortex/Void 5x...

Shoes look good. Nice spinning and gyro stuff in the video.

Played with Dan and Andrew yesterday in Saratoga for a couple of hours. I had to stop early because of a violent stomach cramp, but I got a couple of good things before then. Blurry Whirl>PS Whirl>Spinning Whirl>Scorpion's Tail bs Superfly>Scorpion's Tail (only one side, my stomach wouldn't allow me...
