*No, I'm not Jonathan S*

I got to kick last night for about half an hour. Though I didn't have any decent runs, I was ablle to practice several techniques that I have forgotten - primarily paradon's and stepping diving. A lot of people already know this, but the secret to paradon's is to plant the support leg before delaying the bag. After understanding this I was able to hit blurriest and smog > pixie paradon.

Here's a list of what I did hit however:

- Flipside fog (sealed several times)
- blurriesst
- smog > pixie paradon
- flip paradon
- Jacknife
- Ripped Warrior
- Flurry > Smear

Sorry Eric, no blurriers - I've got to get back into the groove first.

Things I want to hit soon:

- Jacknife > Blurry Drifter
- Ripped Warrior > Blurry Whirl
- Fog both sides in one run
- Flurry > Smog
- Something big > Flurry

You the man Jonathan!!! Those are some awesome moves and combos. I hope you hit the combos soon!

Jackknife > blurry drifter is SICK! (reminiscent of Defender of the Universe...)

I challenge you to shool your flip pixie and double dexes. Pixie paradon would be a cool link into your flurry (rewind!), but I didn't want to suggest that because I would prefer to see you hit more flip pixie moves midrun :p

Go for leviathan!

Leviathan won't be happening for a while, but perhaps Phantasma (stepping diving double-over-down).

I kicked last night for a while. Though I didn't hit any of my goals, I did have several decent runs including one with Blurry Drifter and Blurry Whirl. Oh yeah, flip fog just won't come out. I've hit it before, but I can't seem to lately.

I had a short session today with surprising results. After five or so minutes of work on flip dlo, I hit Fog bsos. Unfortunately I was unable to hit flip smog

Nothing else major happened, but I did have a nice run or two.

What?!? There`s a move named Phantasma already?

Shit, I was totally hoping I could eventually get a signature move named after me, and call it Fan-tasma. poop.

Oh yeah, and congrats on all the really huge combos and tricks. Fog BSOS is really nice.

I had a decent session last night. I've been working on my flipside dlos. For some reason I can't seem to hit flip smog, unlike flip fog. I also played around with ps whirls and was able to hit whirlygig several times. Oh yeah, I also hit pigbeater > smog.

Got another half-hour or so in. My flip dlo is doing really well, yet I can't seem to step or pixie into it. I was trying for tapping dlo > smog but could only get tapping dlo > smear. I'll work on it tomorrow.

I think I'm getting shin splints again

Another decent session today. Though I didn't hit any new moves, or try to hit any new moves, I was able to bust out smog > smoke > ps whirl.

Gryo's are coming along, but I still can't hit them consistenly.

Must practice more...

Great shred today. It's been a long week - a test in every class and a major team project due - so it was good to be able to kick again.

I was goofing around with stepping out of flip whirl and managed to hit flip blurry whirl -> blur . I also hit smoke -> blur. I'm hoping to hit smoke -> fog next session.

I got shin splints from the last, rather bad session. However, today was much different.
I hit complete symposium tap (first time in a long while) and backside symposium toe blur many times (first time + sealed).
My runs are improving, yet I still need to practice more and be more focused...

Oh yeah, fog is extremely easy now.

I finally got to shred today. My legs were already tired, however I still had a long session.
I'm not getting as dizzy while spinning now... I hit spinning mirage and spinning ducking clipper, but that might have been a the. Oh well...

Can't wait 'till CSS6!

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » 07 Feb 2005 20:10

Not much today, but I did manage to hit smog > pixie ducking butterfly.

sweet! Keep it up!

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » 12 Feb 2005 18:35

Lately I've been practicing for CSS6. Not big 3 or sick trick, but actually starting my runs from kicks. Being that I practice by myself, I always self serve (not a good habit). After doing this for a couple days, I'm able to start most sets from kicks easily. However, it is still hard to hit big moves from kicks.

Oh yeah, lots of school work...

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » 15 Feb 2005 20:30

School work has finally cooled off. Over the weekend I put in 22-24 hours of homework

Anyway, on a footbag related note, I buster smog > pixie whirl > blurry whirl today.

CSS6 - I'm looking for a place to crash. I'm arriving Friday and leaving Monday. If anyone is willing to let me crash (of course I'll pay my part) please pm me or post here. Thanks you
