Freestylin in the Graveyard (Net...)

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 20 Feb 2007 22:06

Had a really fun session with Emily (Hi

,) but had to stop because of patella pain. I had some really good combos before I stopped though...
spin clip>duck clip>rpt
ripwalk>ripwalk>pdx mirage>atomsmasher

atomsmasher>atomsmasher>butterfly>pdx mirage>dlo>3 or 4 bops>whirl>pdx mirage>more bop>ducking clip>diving clip

pixie weaving butterfly (new!)
practiced pixie a lot, I am now hitting a lot of pixie moves every session, and my flipside is ALMOST duckable.. I cleared one set.
smear>atomsmasher>dlo (first sick 3 with all double dexes I think)
pixie dada curve

Feeling good about most of the people/things in my life... top 3 are probably Emily, footbag, and school. Bottom 3 are my injuries, and the other 2 are too personal/emotional for the blog. I'd say I'm at an 85 % happiness level though... which is pretty good. Taking a vacation makes me want to be on vacation all the time...

One last thing: starting an unpaid job tomorrow as a therapeutic mentor for a 9 year old boy with conceptual learning disabilities and motor skill problems. Good experience, and it makes me feel good about myself, but YO, I heard that Cash Rules Everything Around Me, C.R.E.A.M., get the money, dollah dollah billz ya'll.

"Starting an unpaid job tomorrow . . . for a 9 year old boy . . . and it makes me feel good about myself. NAMBLA and loving it."

Don't let your emotions get in the way of the information super highway man! We loyal blog readers need to know . . . everything.

my scrabble rating: 567 and climbing . . .

Last night was ..(I was going to say fun, I think interesting suits it better.) My roommate's friend/my aquaintance Claudio blacked out and caused a mad ruckus. The gash on his forehead is rug-burn from one of his falls.

Smog>guiltless string of about 10 w/legbeater
gyro pickup bsos (new both sides)
spin>dive>duck clip RPT
magellan>pixie ss pickup>smear a few times, was going for RPT

Been sick for a few days, had a freestyle session today with Em and Dustin for a little while. One of my best sessions ever probably.

Flip spinning ducking clipper (new)
pdx drifter>osis>rpt>string
toe in-gyro mirage (new, dedicated to Rory Dawson... was also going for toe in-gyro legover, next session I guess.)

my longest guiltless run ever, must have been around 35 contacts with ducking pdx mirage bsos, smear bsos, legbeater, pdx drifter, pdx whirl, dlo, whirl, BOP

39 contact tiltless run

Atomsmasher X 5 (New record by 2)
Ripwalk X 4

And I got a new sick 3, and an old sick 1 on video... haven't put out any videos in a while but I'm probably going to soon. I didn't want to wait to post these though...Check it out and critique it.

Sick 3 and sick 1 are great
the zulu symp mirage is perfectly executed

Only thing I could say about sick 3 is they are all downtime components, one uptime component would make it more appealing, but still awesome. (I'm just jaelous since I can't hit that combo !)

Thanks Mathieu.

Played a whole lot of net today after a 4.5 mile bike ride. Fun... hit my first flying inside sweep in a game! And also my first reverse toe snap (I think that's what it's called..) Sore and tired. More freestyle tuesday probably.

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 06 Mar 2007 22:10

Played freestyle today with Emily and Dustin. It started out a lackluster session, and then progressed into an orgy of awesome.

Uhhh, I hit a little combo I've wanted to hit for a while by the name of...

Rubberman!!!!!!!!

I hit each half both sides then missed my first attempt on the last trick; Next turn I nailed first try and sealed to pdx mirage>ducking clip. Awesome.

smoke>string
diving clip>dlo bsos in a guiltless run
pixie weaving pickup (new)
Reactor
weave>dive>duck>RPT>zuluX2
swirl, ducking clip>swirl, flip swirl (not pretty though) then 25 attempts at each side swirl and hit 3 strong, none flip.

That's it. Mostly stoked on rubberman. Annnnd I've started to make a new travel plan, after worlds I'm going to go to a friend's house in Florida instead of going home, then head up the east coast to funtastik and then montreal. Probably 1 month of travel total.

Had a session with Emily and Max, not super satisfying, but really fun, and I felt good. I had tweaked out my neck about 6 days ago, and it's better now. Also, my car died and I've been riding my bike; I think it's helping my knee.

1 really good run, a few ok runs, but can't remember specifics.
smear>atomsmasher bs
backside smear, almost bsos
osis>spin clip bsos
favorite combo of the night: ducking mirage>ducking legover RPT

rubberman and reactor!
What you been eating lately? Subway made by an illegal immigrent?

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 15 Mar 2007 19:56

Thanks Mike, haha and you too Mathieu. I can't hit 10 osis though. I'm going to try and hit that in the next few sessions.

Had a session tonight with Emily, had a lot of fun but not big results.

clean flip smoke
smear>pixie ss mirage>flip dlo
ripwalk & ducking clip bsos in a guiltless run
phoenix

Off of school until April 2nd, going to have some sessions in Southern California while I'm home hopefully.

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 20 Mar 2007 00:26

I rode my bike for a total of 20 miles over the last 12 hours. Never done that before.

I also shredded, but besides Emily it was 3 noobs, so it was kind of tough to get going. Had a few really good guiltless runs, one with dlo & drifter bsos.

flip pixie ss drifter unsealed (new)

Sleep.

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 25 Mar 2007 18:04

Probably never going to do another symposium move because of my knees.

smog & smoke in the same run, dropped on pixie op whirl
some good ducking combos, uhhhh atom>atom>legbeater>pdx drifter

Yayuh.

Gonna go see "The Hills Have Eyes 2." RADIOACTIVE MUTANTS...!!!

. Whats your scrabble rating now? I can't seem to turn my computer on . . . 1030 though.

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 27 Mar 2007 18:57

1001. Uhhhh na-na-na-na.

No other net players, freestyled with Dave, going to freestyle with Dave, Sam, and maybe Chris Miller thursday or saturday.......

I'm not getting enough stitching done, being a nurse/maid/errand runner sucks. Could be worse though, at least I have time to have a few sessions.

What scrabble program do you use? I can't find a good one.
