This time of the year is special for me. Not only is it my 46th birthday, Xmas and New Years celebrations all within two weeks, but for the past 6 years I've been celebrating another year of shredding every day, as I started this whole commitment to training everyday on my 40th birthday! This year I have more to celebrate than just surviving another year. Today marks the day that I have played freestyle footbag (hacky sack), at an advanced level, every day for the past 2200 days.
In just the past year, I have really made some breakthroughs that I wanted to put together into a single place, to summarize my accomplishments this past year... 68 Videos published to YouTube, of which 13 involved this new concept of Seamless Footbag Freestyle Juggling. Watch them all here:

Seamless Juggling first came to me as a way to integrate juggling into regular footbag tricks without stopping back in 2010, with the first instance of what I now call "Seamless" juggling showing up in this video about "How to Juggle Footbags." This year, I named the concept Seamless and applied it to dozens of tricks in many nuanced ways. Skyhook is another concept I've applied to several tricks, where I do a dexterity prior to a pendulum, combined into one trick. See also, Atomic Skyhook.
Along the way, I have innovated many new tricks including Juggulous and Juggulouso... Paradox Drifting Cross Body Rake... PhobicFly and Phobic Vortex... Ryno and Spinning Ryno... Frontside Soles... New Dragonosis tricks... Phairy Same Down Double... Infinity Swirling Drag... Motion Sickness and so many more as seen on my YouTube channel.
I love this sport! Constant variety. Thanks to YouTube for all the free hosting. Thanks to Spenco Insoles for keeping my feet in great shape! Thanks to my family for putting up with me! Thanks to mall security where I work for not kicking me out of my double secret shredding locations. Thanks to everyone who supported me this year too, like Freedom Footbags, Flying Clipper Footbags and Dragonfly Footbags. Make donations to IFPA (International Footbag Players Association).
Enjoy the moment! 2200 is the number of the day.
