Playing footbag in Mysore

Playing footbag in MysorePlaying Footbag for the Indians

We've gotten an incredible reaction playing footbag in India. The kids love it! It takes only a few kicks and some stalls before we've got the better part of the block watching us. It's inspiring. One guy wants to film us in another location with good lights and a mother wants us to show her kids. I still have to find the lucky recipient of my 3 freedoms

Weekly UM Session

Another week, another fun session. I was dissapointed to not see Andy, Taylor, Zac, or Anna. Maybe next week. Collin was playing really good and was linking a lot of crucial fundamentals in strings. His friend Cedric came again and was easily kicking 5-10 hits everytime really controlled. He can hit his trusty right toe stall often too. I hope he keeps coming. Also, on a slightly geeky note, I noticed 3 RCA inputs on the wall and a projector in the ceiling. I think I can play music through the ceiling speakers and shred videos on the wall. That would be sweet.

Cool Stuff I hit:

BSOS Torque > String
Toe Set Ducking Mirage
Toe Set Ducking Leg Over
Mobius
Both Vortexes
Drifter > Pdx Torque
Also, Kevin never cesses to amaze me. He was playing really good this week. He hit Blurriest > Awesome String and Zulu Pdx Whirl.

Player Profiles Up (again

Under Jere's requests, I've setup the Player Profiles for the Missoula Footbag Alliance. I've just tossed in a few originals to start, but there will be more soon.

Intense 2 man session

Jere and I just got done with a quick, fun footbag session down at Caras Park. I hit both Pdx Torques, Mobius, Fog, Spinning Pdx Drifter, Gyro DLO, Pixie Drifter, and Blurry Torque. Jere hit a 10 contact tripless (all 4 add moves) run that was awesome. He also hit Phoenix > Pdx DLO > Phoenix, Smog > Pixie DLO > Smog > Pixie DLO, Pixie Spinning Leg Over, and Pixie Dada Curve.
It was tons of fun (and very sweaty).
