Austin Footbag

Well the world is always changing, and we in the footbag community feel it’s important to keep up with the times. In 2009 the new hot technology is Twitter and we are now on there at www.twitter.com/AustinHack. It’s the best way to get real time updates about footbag activity going on in Austin.

The best part is, you can use your mobile phone (any type of phone, you don’t need a fancy schmany iPhone or anything) to get text message updates about sessions. Just send the message “Follow AustinHack” to 40404 and Twitter will send you a text message every time we tweet.  So say for example we decide to have an impromptu session in front of the Texas Capitol randomly on a Tuesday night, we’ll tweet and if you’re following us, you can see it and head over and join in.   Isn’t technology cool?

P.S. If you’re interested in Houston footbag info, check out www.twitter.com/HoustonFootbag for updates from our good friends, the Houston Skyliners.

First off, Austin Style Footbag club has leaped into the year 2009 with a Twitter account.   Follow us @AustinHack to get real time updates on sessions and goings-on.  You can either get a Twitter account and follow us there, or on your cell phone text “Follow AustinHack” (without the quotes) to 40404 (to get text message updates, assuming you have a lot, or an unlimited plan on your phone)

What a weekend of shred!  I think I played for 7 hours total.  Thankfully I’m much less sore than I thought I would be.  My shins hurt a little bit when I woke up Monday morning, but otherwise I’ve been fine, with no knee pain.  Curtis was in town yesterday from Houston and we shredded it up on the streets of downtown Austin amidst SXSW.

Curtis Highlights:
-Way longer runs than he usually does.
-Scorpion’s Tail mid run a few times
-Inspinning osis and clipper several times
-Tons of spins, dives, barrages and double downs

Ben Highlights:
-Lots of spins and ducks
-Gyro diving clip BS, almost BSOS
-Zulu clip x 3
-Double BSOS’d DLO in a guiltless run with lots of spins and ducks
-Spinning Ducking clipper BSOS once or twice

P.S. I’m getting a new computer this week.  Once I have it set up I will capture the Brenham jam footage and make a video!
