hey I was just wondering if I'm anywhere near correct in calling this a cross body pickup.

clip>op in>same toe

i have no one to shred with and so i also have no one but the online community to help me out.

thanks

Sounds just like a Pick-Up set from a clip to me.

ok thanks, i wasn't sure. i have no one in the real world to ask.

ya, mosher is my last name. it's great because i go to shows (you know.. bands and stuff) all the time, and because of my name everybody wants me to mosh. so i do and i have a killer time!

Yea im the same way....i have no one to shred with that really knows anything about footbag, or can even pixie.

Don't worry, I'm the same way too. Everyone in my area thinks that "hacky sack" is for stoners/hippies and all you do is kick the bag in a circle.

Forunately, I have a really good group of friends online who I chat with that freestyle. We even formed our own little club called "The Quad Squad". If you want to check us out, you can visit:

Or pretty much our official website...

that site is great!

i'm pretty sure there are some people that play where i live. somehow i'll track them down.

i tried e-mailing all the members of this site but i got no replies.

Thanks for the offer, but i want to be able to do a bit more than just basics before i actually join a club...Right now im lookin into those new oak park freestyle clinics. Maby after that Confused

What i meant by i have no one to shred with is that all my friends don't take it seriously, and i never met anyone but me that did here.
Also if i joined a club id have to take a train there cause i live in the jeff park area and can't quite drive yet Crying or Very sad

Don't worry, that feeling comes to everyone at one point or another. Just keep practicing and you'll get better!

i have a follow up to my previous post!

since the girl tapped my shoulder i have now met and played with her boyfriend.

i had just gotten back to the lockers after having a session and this guy started asking me about my lavers. as it turns out, he was the girls boyfriend. that was yesterday, and today we had our first sesh. it was also my first time playing footbag with anybody.

it was fucking thrilling!

oh, also, yesterday was my first time talking footbag with anybody. up till then i'd just talked AT people about it.

it was awesome to not have to explain anything.

There's no word you said, that I can't agree with, I also only got friends
hacky-sacking hippie-like in the summer, but will never get further...
They think I'm just exaggerating it a bit, but I also can imagine, that it's
hard to understand : 12 years, every summer there are those funny little
circles kickin that bag around and then there's someone who sais that he wants to do it professionally as a sport...
The last two times I've circle-kicked with some of them, I've worn fat
skating shoes, imensively loose pants and they've played with those
terrible rasta-bags. I hardly could clip it and when I've busted a mirage bsos (after half an hour trial) they hardly could believe it's me !
BTW.: check out flipsider.com and visit the knowledge section and then
go to joining a circle, there's a funny description about how to shove
your footbag-ass into a hacky-circle, but i've got the problem that if
I join one of those circles, they play with those terrible sacks and if
I throw in my bags it's a full-time job to tell them not to shove it on the ground...

hey guys,
today during our sesh we both hit a trick and neither of us knew the name.

i think he guess paradox illusion.

its.. clip>same out>op toe

but um.. is that just a clipper set fairy to toe?

i'm still working on my naming.

(i just thought i'd mention that this thread contains my first two ever attempts at using something vaguely similar to jobs notation)
