But, you know, if you WERE to sell it, what kind of deal could we make, huh? I unfortunately haven't gotten around to sticthing yet, so all I have to trade is $$$ to sponsor you to SJFF.

Hahahahaha. Thanks Sam, Ben.

I think if I charged less than $25 it really wouldn't be worth my time, shipping would be like $1 in the US, I'm not sure about Canada.

I've got about $230 saved for SJFF after I babysit tomorrow, and plane tickets are about $200, I estimate $90 for food, so I need roughly $75... if I sold 3 bags I could make it.

I would get there thursday at 10:30 and come back monday at 6:30 or something.

Last Southern california session for quite a while, played with chad and dave.
Flip zulu PS mirage
ducking PS mirage BSOS (hit it first time flip, then bsos.)
some ok runs, whirl>ripwalk midstring

that's all for now, no stitching work today just painting my house. tomorrow, babysitting, painting, packing. Yay!

Well if I may speak up then, I want that bag. 25 is fine, maybe if I give you $30 U.S would that cover shipping? Let me know if it might be more so we can work this out!

Cool, bag #15 sold.

I'M BACK IN SANTA CRUZZZZ!!! set up my new room today, and i'm 100% stoked. had a freestyle session with Jeremy, Emily, and E.J. in Capitola today.

new moves: Smog, Backside smear both 2nd or 3rd try

my best guiltless runs ever, I feel GREAT about my game now.. dlo's, whirls, drifters, symp mirages and pixies, and ducks all feel really consistent now.
ripwalk>whirl>drifter>dlo>guilt
zulu ps mirage, double pickup, pdx flail
other stuff, lots of runs/combos that are too long to remember.

came real close to alpine atomsmasher again

*EDIT* forgot I hit pdx blender this session, couldn't duplicate it though.

It feels really good to be back in Santa Cruz and be able to hang out with Emily.. she gave me some tips on my stitching last night, next bag I'm going to try and implement those. Got free material today from ultrasuede.com, going to stitch a whole lot in the coming weeks.

Thanks!

Net session today with Jeremy, Angel, Craig, Sage, and Emily. It was fun. I played a whole lot, we played doubles from 2-6, with one game (my first,) of singles against Jeremy. I'm happy with how I played today considering how long I've been playing. I got a block against Sage, aced many serves, consistency is getting better, but still missed a lot and whiffed a few serves. I don't have any crazy spikes yet but I can manage a sole push here and there. Gonna go shower, eat, and stitch. Freestyle AND net tomorrow!

Thanks sir. No footbag today, my neck feels like shit. I did some grappling on sunday which was a mistake. I have to take a break at least until friday i think. I finished bag #17 today though, and took some pictures of my room in santa cruz...

Thanks Zeb. Had a solo schooling session for about 30-40 minutes before tweaking my neck out again. fun. probably won't play for a week at least. Bah.

save.cullen · Post by **save.cullen** » 26 Sep 2006 10:44

do 100 left pixies without shoes on everyday for the week you're not playing.

yeah

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 29 Sep 2006 14:21

Thanks Sam. Had a session wednesday with ET, Emily, and Jeremy. it was fun I don't remember any specific highlights. Going to kick today.

funklovesfootbag · Post by **funklovesfootbag** » 29 Sep 2006 18:59

Session today at a new spot on the ucsc campus with dustin and emily.

at the end of the session dustin and i took the bag over and over until we couldn't play then passed, and repeated for about 15-20 minutes to build stamina, it was intense. good fun long session. must eat, shower, go see jackass 2. I played too hard today, I tried mullet, ducking pdx flail, atomic drifter, lots of really strenuous stuff... I can't help myself but I realize I'm going to have to take a break or do something about my neck/back because I don't want to be in pain after every session the rest of my life.
