I told him it dident exist but I really dont know. Is a pdx dyno possible? Would it be considered pdx? Later, Jamez P.S.

Obviously, freestyle is quite different from walking or running, but hey, shinsplints are shinsplints, no matter how you get 'em. Hopefully, someone can benefit from this info. --x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--cut--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x Preventing Shinsplints by Terry King Q. I walk outside every day, and no matter what, the muscles in the front of my calf burn halfway through. I walk three miles in 40 minutes, and it slows me down somewhat when the burning starts. What am I doing wrong? A. Sounds like shinsplints. Shinsplint pain can be caused by the imbalance in strength between the calves and the shin muscles. The calves exert a powerful downward force on our feet. If they are overly tight, which they often are, the shin muscles (anterior tibialis) has to work even harder to elevate our forefeet to clear the ground. In your case, you are probably hammering yourself a little too hard. Three miles in 40 minutes is a 13:20 mile, or 4.5 miles per hour. That is some brisk walking pace, and you do that every day. Even Kenyan distance runners take some days off and have easier training sessions. You'll loosen up those tight calves if you take care to stretch them out. Stretching your calves Stand at arm's length from a wall with your feet together. Place both hands flat on the wall with your fingers pointing up and your arms straight. Now move your feet 6-12 inches farther away from the wall. Lean toward the wall while keeping your feet flat and your knees straight. Now you're stretching the larger, upper portion of your calves (gastrocnemius). To get a deeper stretch, bend one knee and bring one foot forward, and move the back knee further away from the wall. Make sure you keep your heel flat. Try this for 10-30 seconds, and then switch to the other leg. To stretch the lower portion of your calf muscles (soleus) as well as the upper portion, start with the same positioning. After the initial stretch, bend your knees and you'll feel the emphasis move down the back of your lower leg toward your Achilles tendon. All of these stretches should be done gently, without bouncing, for 10-30 seconds up to 3 times per stretch. Check your shoes for wear. If you're a runner, replace them every 500 miles or so. Even if your shoes' outsoles don't show signs of wear because you only use them in the gym, they still stretch, and the midsole (which provides the cushioning) breaks down over time. You lose their support and impact protection, and that can contribute to shinsplints too. Ice your shins after a workout and elevate your legs to aid blood flow out of the area and help avoid swelling. If the situation persists after you try stretching and buying new shoes, seek the help of a physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon. --x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x Anyone out there going to East Coast Regionals?

There are two accepted ways of doing ripwalks, and the height can vary to a very high degree.Ripwalk, as the name would indicate, was first hit by Rippin' Rick Reese. He sets his very low, but gets both dexes clean. To do a ripwalk this way, yo u have to be fast, since the set is really low. The other way people do ripwalks, is by using a pronounced blurry set, followed by a butterfly.The height of your set can be anywhere from knee height to above your head. The higher the set and the more the move looks like Set followed by a Butterfly, the less likely someone will call you for jaywalking. Matt also asked about this move: >inside (as opposed to toe)>opp i-o>opp i-o>same inside >Anyone know the name? This would be a reverse eggbeater set from an inside and ending in an inside. Very phat, Peter Irish does a lot of crazy reverse eggbeater stuff, but I don't know what he calls them. I'll ask him in Philly. In the credits to Rye shred, Peter hits clipper set reverse eggbeater to toe set reverse eggbeater.

Sebastien Duchesne and I will be in charge of the freestyle competiton. We already have 3 open competitors and a lot of intermediate players entering the tournament. Entry fee is 20$CAN (about 14$US) for intermediate players and 30$CAN (about 21$US) for open competitors. We do not have a registration form online so just send me an e-mail if you're planning on attending so we will know how many players to expect. Finally... If you need a place to stay at in Montreal for the week-end you can crash at one of the local stylers' place. Need more info?

The Philly Open should be a blast, with World Class (read: World Champions) talent appearing both in the freestyle and net disciplines. There should be some good NYC freestyle representation going on, and even some Montreal shred is making their way down. The point being, come to the tournament and make some friends, get very impressed, put some faces to the names on this list, and show off your skills. Thaw out them blades and drop by the weekend of the 25th. Also, the Montreal Winter Windchill is happening the next weekend, and should also be a blast. In case you've never been there, Montreal is a really nice town, with nice freestylers and awesome net action. Even if you aren't that into net, you should come just to see the pros have at it, it's really impressive to watch. The local freestylers have improved a lot and are really nice, even if you have to regulate a bit to stop the self-hacking. : D For those youngbloods who still aren't convinced: the legal age for everything in Montreal is 18. Not that I'm encouraging anything, just saying is all. So there, if this e-mail motivates even one shredder into investing the energy of making a trip out to one of these tournaments, then my mission is accomplished. Tournaments are great; I was first exposed to freestyle footbag at a tournament, I first played net at a tournament, I always make friends at tournaments, I always learn a new move(s) at tournaments, and most importantly: I always have fun at tournaments. So try and make it to one, you'll be glad you came. See y'all there. Ken CF Somolinos PS-just to sneak in one freestyle question/comment: If symposium butterfly (Darryl and Rippin' do these) is worth 4 "adds," then shouldn't Da Da Curve be worth an extra "add" because it's the same exact move + a dex? Kinda like PS Whirl vs. Symposium blurry whirl? Whoops, didn't mean to bring up a parallel which illustrates the arbitrary lack of a symposium "add" in Da Da Curve.

I started thinking about that question, and recalled seeing a video I downloaded not to long ago of some guy called Ryan Mulroney, =) and I some him do like butterfly swirl.

I think this is due to the idea that only moves that have a dex that completes a full circle around the bag can earn symposium adds. For example, mirage from a toe set can be symposium, but not from a clip. Butterfly from clip set to same clip can have one as well. Da da curve doesn't get one because it only passes behind each of the legs completing the dex (frontside symposium toe ripwalk (toe > (no plant while) op in [bod][dex] > op out [dex] > op clip [xbd][del]) might be a novel idea, although it might not be considered a ripwalk).

I could > definatly make it there but i wanna know that im not > waisting my time....thanx I was working (advising) with the 'organizer' for that event, trying to get it more 'official' and such, and I'm not sure that it's still happening. You may want to mail him up and ask. (I can get his email if you need it, just let me know.) However, at some point in June (I'm still waiting for other tournament dates), I will be holding the 'Fifth Annual Iowa Jam'. this is a yearly 'event' that I host, similarly modeled after the 'Beaver Open'. It's about an hour north of the quad-cities (Davenport/Rock Island/Moline), about 7 miles outside a small town called Maquoketa, IA. I hold it on private farmland (friends of mine), out in the middle of the country, deep into their land, down in an open clearing in a beatiful valley next to a small creek. (in other words, it's a pretty secluded place, far away from any danger or authoratative figures). It's an entire weekend/camping outing, with no official competition or entry fees. Just a lot of good footbag friends, hanging out, partying really hard, kicking when you feel the urge. Camping, drum circles, bonfires, just an overall great weekend of getting back to nature. The first year I held it, I organized a band, that played around midnight on Saturday, out in the middle of an open field under the canopy of crystal-clear stars above. There were probably close to 150++ people. It was a blast!! Anyway, enough of my babbling. If anyone wants more info about it, feel free to give me a yell. I'll post dates here once I finalize. take care, Cory 'Ground Phlor' Current From owner-freestyle@list.footbag.org Fri Mar 17 00:23:30 2000 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id AAA04564 for freestyle-outgoing; Fri, 17 Mar 2000 00:23:30 -0800 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-freestyle@footbag.org using -f Received: from clem.mscd.edu (pmdf@clem.mscd.edu [147.153.1.3]) by Market.NET (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA26882 for ; Thu, 16 Mar 2000 13:57:46 -0800 Received: from localhost by clem.mscd.edu (PMDF V5.2-32 #39336) with SMTP id <0FRJ00N01BO891@clem.mscd.edu> for freestyle@footbag.org; Thu, 16 Mar 2000 14:57:44 -0700 (MST) Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 14:57:44 -0700 (MST) From: Brad Kaplan Subject: [freestyle] Tournament idea/routine question To: freestyle@footbag.org Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org Here's me question about routines. If you catch the bag in your mouth is it considered an unusual surface delay, or maybe a presentaion score thing, or just a no point/no penalty deliberate catch. I'm not asking for opinions really, I'm asking for the real deal from people who have judged this before. Now my idea. Something that kind of bugged me about competing intermediate last year was that it is never a prize money event. Usually the cost of entering intermediate is a little less than entering open. My suggestion is to raise the price by $5 or so in the intermediate levels and use that collective money to be the cash prize for intermediate events. This will not take away from the money being allocated to the open prize money and may entice more intermediate players to compete. As it is I don't think the entry fee to intermediate events is terribly expensive. I realize this could have the negative effect as well as some people might feel the price to compete IS to high. I also think it should be done at some of the larger tournaments since they draw more competitors. It would also be up to the individual Tournament Directors as to whether or not they even want to do it. What do you all think? Especially those of you who will be competing intermediate this year.

As described in the IFC rulebook , any upper-body contact is considered an "unusual surface". NOTE: this does *not* mean "unusual surface delay" as you wrote above. A "delay" is a separate add category. So, a mouth stall, and for that matter any upper body unusual surface contact, is only *1* add: unusual surface. A "delay" can only be performed with your lower body. So lap catches all the way down to sole delays are actual unusual surface delays (2 adds). I hope this explanation makes sense. It's what I've been instructing judges every year at the judging clinic at Worlds. > Now my idea.

As >it is I don't think the entry fee to intermediate events is terribly >expensive. Entry fee is *not* directly correlated to prize money -- or at least, it's not supposed to be. You pay an entry fee because you want to participate in the tournament, and it has value for you, not because you are putting money into a betting pool (where you're betting that you will win). Please separate prize money from entry fees in your mind. Worlds is also a special case. It's the only tournament that actually does it right (in my opinion) -- and so this paragraph is about *worlds*. The next paragraph is about non-worlds events. For worlds, the extra fee is for *professional* players. It is not the assumption that open players are professional because Worlds is a semi-professional, open competition. So, you can register "open" at worlds and still not be eligible for prize money. The only way you can win prize money at worlds is to place in an open event *and* pay the "professional" entry fee. The idea being that most players at Worlds are actually amateurs, and are competing for the prestige of getting a ranking against the top players in the sport, and not to win money. The idea behind the "professional" category is that players who truly believe they're good enough to make it to the "show" (semi-finals and finals) can get sponsorships, and plan to make money from competing (not that many people actually break even :-)). In that case, we charge a higher fee because they are "funded" as opposed to most players who are amateur and self-funded. If a player chooses to risk the "pro" entry fee without sponsorship, it's their choice, but not something that's in any way required by the tournament organizers for the player to get access to the best competition on the planet. It simply wouldn't make sense to apply this logic to the intermediate players. All other tournaments are too small for any more prize money than they already give out. Do the math -- if you actually took entry fees for intermediate players (even if you add $10 to $15 per player), you don't end up with *that* much cash. Trust me -- I run Western Regionals every year, and every year I pay about $2-$3000 out of my pocket. Sure, my event's more expensive than most (I have to rent porta-potties, hire a DJ, rent a generator, rent bleachers, rent tables and chairs, and much more), but even so, the incremental dollars from raising registration fees for intermediate would still not generate a very useful purse when split across 1st-3rd place in all the intermediate events (singles net, doubles net, singles freestyle -- that's 12 prizes). But even if it did work out to something of value, it just doesn't make sense. There's no motivation for a tournament organizer to throw cash money at intermediate players. The idea is to lower the entry fees as an incentive for intermediate players to attend the events -- anything more (giving money away) is just plain bad financial planning. ("... But we make it up in volume." :-)) > I realize this could have the negative effect as well as some people >might feel the price to compete IS to high. Is this sport really about money? Most sports give out trophies and that's the end of it (and people are happy with that). I don't know why people think prize money is so important in this sport except at the top levels where it helps to validate the sport and attracts the absolute best players to compete and showcase the sport in a public venue (which is what the pro competition at Worlds is all about). We're not running a mutual betting operation. If you want money, play poker.

I saw the Laver Milleniums and I was planning on maybe buying them, but to me they looked very ugly!! They didn't look very visually pleasing at all, so I immediately went in another direction. Is it just me, or do these shoes look odd, and look nothing like the originals (at least the picture of the originals at the Footmart site) I may have been looking at the wrong shoes, but to me they didn't at all look like the original Lavers and I was disapointed... Anyway, I ended up buying some shoes called Adidas Maleev's, they seem pretty decent for Footbag, but I can't really be sure, since I've never played with Lavers, so I have nothing to base it against. So, if anyone has ever seen these shoes, or has ever played in them, please let me know what you think of them .. If not, just reply to this anyway, to tell me what you think of the other stuff I said, see ya later!

Ugly is cool in the '00's. Anyway, if you spent all that time doing due diligence on which shoes to buy, and then ignored the recommendations of the top players in the world, I guess it was a waste of everyone's time. Return to the Maleevs and get the Lavers. Now, before it's too late. :-) The other thing to note is that utility becomes fashion. You may think the shoes are ugly, but they *do the job*. It's like saying you won't wear those ugly gymnastics outfits when because they're not something you'd wear in public, so you do gymnastics in Levi's. If you're interested in learning how to play, you'll overcome your fear of looking like a geek. :-) Either way, the reality is that what you think is ugly, if worn with pride, becomes dope.

Return the >Maleevs and get the Lavers. Now, before it's too late. :-) I don't think I will return the Maleev's, because, they seem pretty decent. The toe is really nice, the insteps and outsteps are quite nice and it seems decent. I just have to explain one thing though. Unlike most of the people on here I bet, I am not an adult yet, I am only 16 years old, and I have only just begun to think of freestyle footbag as a serious sport that I love. So, when I go out to buy shoes, it is not my money being spent, it is coming from my mother. Also, the shoes I buy are not solely for freestyle, they are for day to day use as well. I don't know if you elite freestylers use your Laver shoes for day to day, but I'm guessing you don't. So, when I bought my shoes today, I looked for shoes that would be okay for day to day wear, plus that wouldn't be completely miserable when I *try* to shred it up (hehe). So, believe me, once I raise my skill level, and really zero in on my skills with an average pair of shoes, I will, buy myself a pair of Rod Laver's (the originals) because for one, I have been told they are the best, and two, they don't look half bad either! (Not that I would care, because I'd only be using them for freestyle). And another reason I didn't buy the Millennium's is because I started hearing that they weren't all that good after all. People saying that they had the cut away instep, and that they weren't good for clippers and inside delays. I also emailed the guys at WFA, and asked them, and they said the pros who looked at them in depth noticed that they had a heavier mesh, and also had the cut away instep, and that they were not "Da Kind." So, I decided to try something new ... So, I hope I have cleared this up ... Okay, I am done with that rant, sorry for bothering ppl so much about this, but I just have some other questions ... First of all, what is shoe goo, and what does it do? And second, what is a guiltless contact? ( I think I know, but I'm not sure) And lastly, what is a guiltless add?

By the way, shoo goo (basically a form of silicone to fix shoes) is sweet for footbag repairs as it is so flexible. Michael Longano P.S I must admit Rod Laver's have a special significance to me as I am an Australian. Have any freestylers over in the US seriously thought about mass producing purpose built footbag shoes. It would be awesome if each pro had their own model and you could go and buy a pair of "Rick Reeses" or "Brian McKenzies", like you can with skate shoes.

Try doing a bit of a pulling through motion when you are setting the bag. Instead of setting it straight up, pull it inside a little bit to give your support leg that extra bit of space.

Well you guessed wrong my friend. I wouldn't say I'm "Elite", but I have worn my Lavers damn near every day for 3 years. And I wear them cut up and UGLY, with bright blue strings even. And with that one exception I consider myself to be a fashionable kinda guy. It's all about sacrifice son. > (hehe).

Yes, sooner or later they all see the light. Except the Teva kickers.

So, I > decided to try something new ... So, I hope I have cleared this up ... Okay now I shall truly address the Millennium Lavers. I finally found a pair in my size two days ago and cut them up right away. I put goo on the instep about ten minutes ago. Now I only got a brief play with them the first day and will be using them in full swing on Wednesday. For a while I wasn't sure If I'd even buy them because I had tried them on and they seemed a lot puffier than the old style, then I saw Big Add Chad wearing them at the Shred Symposium and they didn't look so huge. (we're both tall and wear big shoes) So I bought a pair to see what I could see. I began cutting away the canvas on the inside and found that the puffyness came from a thin layer of foam that was between the canvas and the nylon mesh. So once that was all pulled away I was all set. Another personal preference is the look. I know you said you didn't like the way they looked, but I think they are much better looking than the old style. As for what the pros are saying, I've now spoken with 3 who say they will probably never go back to the old style. The big problem with them is the instep, not the mesh, and being the ever inventive crew that freestylers are, we just use the goo to cover that area. Now here is the most important thing about the Millenniums, they are easily HALF the weight of they old ones which means faster feet. Here's the real skinny on Lavers. Once you try them you will realize you should have gotten them sooner. I have kicked in many shoes, from hiking boots to Tevas, and whether you by the old style or new, Lavers are the best shoes to kick in. But that's just my opinion and everyone's deleted this long-winded speech of mine anyway.

In my opinion, if it is intentional, it isn't a drop. I've seen Eric Wulff catch a bag at the end of his routine. Did it look bad? no. Did he catch it because he was out of control? no. So, did it count as a drop? no. If you use your hands because you are losing control of the bag, that is a drop. But, this is just my opinion. I'm not sure how other judges would judge this. My advice to you is to go up to the judges that will be counting drops and ask.

Ask yourself, am I forcing my stretches, am I bouncing/jerking my body when I stretch or am I taking long breaths, allowing my body to take the muscle where it likes? Also alter your stretches with breakes: stretch for 3 seconds then rest the muscle for 3 sec's. and remeber to breath with your stretches. If you want a couple of exercises for your knees, I guess the best ones would be with the muscles that inervate them. Try leg curles, Leg extentions, leg Adductors (lying on your side and bringing the bottom leg up; bringing your leg medially) leg Abduction (same position, but raise top leg; bring leg lateral. This should get you started but most important don't force any of the stretches or excersises and make sure you go through the full range of motion with the excersises Peace Ara From owner-freestyle@list.footbag.org Wed Mar 22 23:47:03 2000 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id XAA12560 for freestyle-outgoing; Wed, 22 Mar 2000 23:47:03 -0800 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-freestyle@footbag.org using -f Received: from web1303.mail.yahoo.com (web1303.mail.yahoo.com [128.11.23.153]) by Market.NET (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id QAA10418 for ; Wed, 22 Mar 2000 16:40:09 -0800 Received: (qmail 13301 invoked by uid 60001); 23 Mar 2000 00:40:05 -0000 Message-ID: <20000323004005.13300.qmail@web1303.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [63.78.45.113] by web1303.mail.yahoo.com; Wed, 22 Mar 2000 16:40:05 PST Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 16:40:05 -0800 (PST) From: ERiC WiNDSoR Subject: Re: [freestyle] juggling in a routine To: freestyle@footbag.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org --- James Risden wrote: > Hello, > > If your in the middle of a freestyle routine, and > you > start juggling two bags, when your done you catch > one, > does that count as a drop???? no, unless the catch was done as a save if you mess up your juggle.

A few times I thought I missed the bag on a toe delay from another trick or somthing and I look down to pick it up and right there on my toe it lays. I was just amazed how stable they were. -Evan Edmondson From owner-freestyle@list.footbag.org Fri Mar 24 07:34:01 2000 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id HAA14656 for freestyle-outgoing; Fri, 24 Mar 2000 07:34:01 -0800 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-freestyle@footbag.org using -f Received: from hotmail.com (f233.law3.hotmail.com [209.185.241.233]) by Market.NET (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id HAA19508 for ; Fri, 24 Mar 2000 07:04:52 -0800 Received: (qmail 44003 invoked by uid 0); 24 Mar 2000 15:04:10 -0000 Message-ID: <20000324150410.44002.qmail@hotmail.com> Received: from 128.206.120.240 by www.hotmail.com with HTTP; Fri, 24 Mar 2000 07:04:10 PST X-Originating-IP: [128.206.120.240] From: "Ian Dubman" To: freestyle@footbag.org Subject: Re: [freestyle] Triple Around the World Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 09:04:10 CST Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org >From: "Cole Hobson" ...someone told me that Ryan Mulroney >can do a triple around the world.

Though, I have seen Sunil Jani hit triage (basically, a triple dex barrage). Actually, you can see it too. They have him hitting it on the Reese's Piece's video (he is at Texas State Championships). I actually got to witness it, and in my opinion, it dont get a whole hell of a lot cleaner. So, yes, it can be done. I know there was some other cat who was using footweights that had supposedly been hitting T-atw, but that is heresay so I have no clue whether it is true. LAter Ian D.

Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 14:43:47 GMT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org Hello everyone, I was just wondering a few things about hitting certain moves. First, I read a tip somewhere that said you should curl your toes into a fist when you try for clippers. I have been experimenting with that, and I found it does affect it, but only when you try to delay the bag on the top part of your foot (like near the toes), and if you try to delay it in the middle of your foot it doesn't really affect anything. So, I was just wondering what others thought of this, do you use that technique or not? My second question is, when you do mirages, are you supposed to set it up, then bring your support leg over it, or around it, like in and around the world type motion?? I originally thought you were supposed to bring it over, but I read some thing somewhere else where it says you set it up, then do an around the world type maneuver then delay it on the opposite toe. So, shed some light on this for me someone ...

How come upper body unusuals don't get a delay add? According to the Formula system a delay is "catching, trapping, or stalling the footbag" and one of the examples of unusual surface is upper body. So it would seem that a neck catch would be a stall of the footbag and an unusual one at that. Also, the knee may seem like a usual place to kick with, but it seems to me that it's quite unusual to stall there. I see and do knee pops, but almost never a flat out knee stall because it's an awkward place to do it. Dragons deserve an add either in the catch or the set too. I think this could go in as part of an expansion to the "unusual" categorie. Frigidosis too. Oh and Anchors.

As I explained a few messages back on this very list. >According to the Formula system a delay is "catching, trapping, or >stalling the footbag" and one of the examples of unusual surface is upper >body. That's right. The question you have is not whether it's an "unusual surface" (which clearly it is) but whether it's a "delay" (which it isn't, read on). >So it would seem that a neck catch would be a stall of the footbag >and an unusual one at that. Any stall of the footbag on an unusual surface above the legs is considered an "unusual surface" trick. One add. It's up to the unusual surface composition judge to decide which surfaces on the "upper body" are unique (I usually count each general upper body part as unique), but it's clear that they're all "upper body" which is not a contact area in which tricks get add values otherwise. In other words, nowhere in the rulebook does it say that you do or don't get a "dexterity" add for circle the footbag with your arms -- it's obvious that you don't. The same argument applies to delays: You only get the "delay" add in an unusual surface trick (as I said a few days ago) if you *also* do a delay (which can't be with any part of your body above your waist, by definition). You're right that it's not in the rulebook in those terms, but that's the only possible interpretation of the rules. In the freestyle judging clinics at the last 6 world championships, this is how I've been instructing the judges. > Also, the knee may seem like a usual place to kick with, but it >seems to me that it's quite unusual to stall there.

You're right, but uncommon does not make unusual. > Dragons deserve an add either in the catch or the set too. I'm not sure what you mean by this one. They definitely have two adds as is. Do you want them to be counted in a third category? >I think this could go in as part of an expansion to the "unusual" categorie. I honestly don't know what you mean. The "unusual surface" category is pretty clear; but there are definitely some gray areas (as I mentioned above -- which parts of a non-standard surface are unique for variety reasons -- i.e., are eye-sockets different than forehead, etc.). But in general, the idea of "unusual surface" is simple. >Frigidosis too. What about them? Are you saying they fit into "unusual surface"?

I used to think I could hit S&M smasher, pixie barrage & tapping barrage occasionally but after watching video I know that my double mirages are THE. You simply can't tell from the 1st person perspective. My symp eggbeaters are usually okay, but I don't know about my symp toe blurs. Recently, I haven't been hitting any of these moves for fear of THE. I was wondering what the attitude is on the list. I haven't seen guiltless shred since July 98, although I have watched videos till my eyes bleed. I can't usually pick a THE in realtime, does anybody reckon they can - consistently, without video slo mo?? Do you call players on THE even if their blazing out a monster combo? There is a really fine line between having economical dexes and THEing your moves. I've seen lots of them on video, especially moves like barfly and relatives, barrage, flurry, any sort of whirl. I'd be interested to know what everyone thinks. Keep shredding, if you're injured then I hope you recover quickly. Lynton P.S. Any freestylers out there planning a trip to Australia???

I certainly teach that technique and use it myself, but with a very important variation. You should curl your toes into a fist EXCEPT your big toe. You should flex your big toe in the other direction. It gives just a little more flatness to your clipper. Another important thing is to make sure you are stretching your ankles before and after you kick. The toe fists only do so much and the rest is flexiblity. A really good trick that helps develop that flexibilty is walk-over. It's a fun trick too and you get to stretch while playing. > My second question is, when you do mirages, are you supposed to set it up, > then bring your support leg over it, or around it, like in and around the > world type motion??

So, shed > some light on this for me someone ... I'm totally confused by your question so just do the trick. I'm not sure if you are familiar with "leggy" versus "hippy" style, but the difference between the two is which part of the leg you are leading the dex with. If you lead with the upper part (above the knee) it's "hippy", and if you lead with the lower part (below the knee) it's "leggy". I think this is the difference in the question you are asking about mirages in which case it becomes a style preference that you need to adopt. Try both ways and see which one you land and is more comfortable. And of course go buy "tricks of the trade".

Are you saying they fit into "unusual surface"? I don't think they fit into "unusual surface", but they are unusual delays which present a bit more difficulty. What I'm suggesting is expanding the unusual categorie to incorporate these tricks. As it is, I believe dragon gets two adds (x-body and delay) just as a clipper does and frigidosis gets two (body and delay). Anchor as well gets two (x-body and delay). I think they all deserve an extra add either in the catching of them or the setting of them into another trick. As I'm sure you know, setting from a frigidosis is slightly more difficult than setting osis. Anyway, I'm saying they present more difficulty somewhere in the execution and deserve another add.

For Frigidosis do a clipper, and keeping the bag on the inside of your foot, twist your leg back behind your body until you look over the other shoulder and see the bag on the inside of your foot in a twisted and contorted manner. Another way of explaining it is to catch the bag as you are going into an osis, but stop and don't bring it over to the other side. Anchor is really hard to picture until you see it. Let's say you are doing a x-body sole stall. You know how you do a clipper and turn your foot up to make it a sole stall? Well if you keep turning your foot you will get to the side of your foot and if you catch the bag there it's an anchor. The important thing when attempting it is that the last part of the motion is in using your whole leg to get the extra flex and relaxing your foot so it will lay flat.

Frigidosis is an inside delay caught behind your body, but not in the cross-body position. The best way to visualize it is to go for an osis, make the catch, but don't spin. So, you "freeze" the bag in a non-cross-body position. After reading that, it doesn't make much sense. How about this description? Do a right foot clipper delay. Now, turn your head to look over your right shoulder. Bring the bag around (still delayed on the inside) until it is no longer in the cross-body position. There you go. Frigidosis. Since the inside of your foot is not unusual, you don't get the 'unusual' ADD. Also, since your foot isn't in the x-body position, you don't get the 'x-bdy' ADD. So, this is a hard one ADD move. Anchor... oh... how to explain... Do a clipper. Pop it up into a x-bdy sole delay. Now, continue this motion to a cross-body outside delay with your toes pointing forward. The final delay is done above knee height and is a bitch to visualize or explain. If you want to see these moves in person - the only way to really understand them - come to Southern Regionals http://www.dallasfootbag.org Brad Kaplan will be there to instruct. Also, one of the Dallas locals (Eric Burgess) has been skooling that anchor. All of y'all come on down to Texas!

One idea I had on the subject is the idea of an unusual bend add. This add is awarded any time the bag is delayed on a surface that is bent around 180 degrees from the normal catching position. For example, the normal cross body catching position is a clip. An outside delay requires the leg to be spun 180 degrees from this position, so it would recieve an unusual bend. This would also apply to the following examples: a toe delay caught in the back of the body (i.e. with your foot turned around pointing backwards, as well as an inside delay performed where you would normally use the outside of your foot.) Just one thought I had.

This is a great explanation of how an add should be awarded. Maybe though it should be called an "unusual contortion" instead of bend. Great thoughts Adam.

I know this subject is probably breached pretty often, but I'm looking for a qualified reply, possibly a contact adress. A guy from our club has more or less serious problems with his knees and his ankles so he went to see a doctor. The doctor told him to quit kickin for a while and sent him to a physiotherapist to stregthen the legmuscles. Only problem is: The physiotherapist doesn't really know what specific exercises he should do because he has no idea what footbag is and which areas need special treatment. Now, has anyone of you ever gone to physiotherapy for footbag related injuries? If so, can you name me some exercises or even better give me a contact adress of the physiotherapist you went to (if you think he was competent in helping you). We'd be much obliged...

I can occasionally pull it off w/o the last legover (all unsealed of course). Both these move use the dasein's pixie-atomic set. I think this set needs a name of it's own pretty soon.

I personally feel the toe box is too constricting with how high the walls are. Another personal feeling is that is makes catching the bag too easy and letting go too hard with certain tricks (pixie and fairie for example). Of course I where size 12's and the walls seem higher than on my friends who wears size 7. There is no real information on how to do it. One day I just started cutting out the first eyelet and didn't think it was enough. so I cut out the second one (on both sides in case that isn't obvious). Also how many you cut out has to do with the size of your shoe. The bigger sizes have an extra eyelet. Anyway, there's still a small toe box, which I feel I had to work harder to hit, but it still helps to catch the bag and pixie and fairie sets become a lot crisper when you don't have to worry about going over the walls. This is all relative to personal preference by the way by the way.

Nobody has hit this yet which is probably why it's been given the name "Nemesis". It's evil, sick, and twisted. It has no friends and challenges everybody. It does not want to be kosher or even pious. It is the spawn of Satan himself. And I personally believe Sunil (yes you) could hit it.
