Boston Shred Crew, manly baby steps

[mtoolan]

Miss you, buddy. Sorry about your ankle, big time. I hope you're still planning on hitting worlds.

[DTank126]

How'd ya do in the playoffs? Did u win? U goin to any championships outside MA? Also good thinking on the toilet paper dick procedure. U should drop locksmithing and go into medicine. Paging Dr. Bowler.

[slapdash21]

absolutely blew it again in playoffs. left my apt once in the past week and a half (other than for work) other than that just sulking on the couch smoking drinking and watching tv. 4 and a half weeks after my injury and I still cant even walk up stairs without pain. I knew it was a bad one...

thanks mike, yeah i'll be there regardless...

[CIC flurry]

Hey I'mma be there in 2 weeks if you guys wanna kick or hang a bit.

ha his little soul patch line is mad crookedy too.

I played hacky sack! first time in....at least 6 weeks maybe more, kinda lost track. my ankle was def a bit stiff and weak but i was able to do most of the concepts i usually can....my zooming was bad, couldnt whirr, and my strings were basically non existant cuz i dropped my flip clipper like 2/5 times it touched it. but it felt so great to play and not just sit there and watch people play while i get drunk and belligerent. ok, drunk and MORE belligerentish. plus 5 years ago i went to NYJ after blowing out my knee and couldnt do a single stall for 10 months after that so it brought everything full circle that Tom K was in town when i finally got back to health from my ankle roll. and you really couldnt ask for cooler footbag company, extremely chill dude, been a fan of his style since before i could do 3 add moves, hilarious, and he has almost the exact same taste in chicks as me but girls find him more approachable cuz he looks friendly or something. he got some CRAZY sexy little asians girls to take our picture down by the beach and they wouldnt even tell me what neighborhood they were from shoulda turned the camera around on em.... plus he's not a hockey fan so he had no issue with my drunkenly attempting to rip a flag off the top of a moving blackhawks vehicle down by the garden as all the fans showed up for the game. kevin and him were kicking out there wednesday night as me and one of kevs (and my, i suppose) friends phil drank and yelled at people. later phil accidently clocked a girl in the head with his skateboard on the train. fun times hah.

one love yall
peace

bsc


but yeah feels great to be playing again, doin ok saving money, work is pretty good, pool is.....ok at best. but overall i definitely snapped fully out of that bad funk i was in. thanks to those who helped me thru it, you know who you are.

[mtoolan]

You are the man now, dawg.

[F[uns]tylin' Eclectic]

Glad to hear you're back like snacks. Hope those G-Units felt alright to kick in. Stoked to shred with you again, whenever that may be. I'm trying to go to NYFA JindraJam, so you'll probably be there too. I'll catch ya later man. Keep playing, cuz it's fun

[slapdash21]

i feel like i should save my money for worlds and NOT go to the NY jam but im undecided. worlds is so close I feel like I should just stick it out and just go all out there. not sure yet...I might just go to NY and try to spend as little as possible. the units were good...still gotta make some final touches on them but they play pretty much perfect already. wish I could go to the kayak jam, that sounds mad fun, good crew, etc.

Steve Goldberg noticed I was posting on FB about worlds but hadn't registered yet so he sent me an email reminding me about the importance of registering and contributing financially, which was totally fine because he's right, but he said one thing I didn't particularly like or agree with so I sent him a solid, slightly pointed paragraph back letting him know how I felt

officially registered.
ankle feels ok hopefully kick tomorrow...?
CRAZY stoked about the W Montreal cuz it looks absolutely balls out baller. gotta figure out who and when im gonna let ppl stay with me...I don't want it do be like an official crash spot as like a place that a different cool person can crash on different nights and maybe a few ppl can crash there on a "party night"

[slapdash21]

whaddyuh mean "now" and "officially"?

tryin to say something? why don't ya come here and say it? then hang out for a month and then drive me to montreal and provide the womenz.

I love rain shred: (especially when its my 2nd session in 2 months)
pixie ducking whirl first try
DATW (in-out)-smoke
sumotha stuff

real talk for a second-
im feverishly saving money, eating 1.5 meals a day, and not buying for worlds (got about 1,200 saved, and i'll be getting paid that week so I can basically spend it all) and im still nervous im gonna get out there, be having fun, go to the strip club, get drunk and either blow all my money or get mugged and wind up stuck homeless in montreal. is that crazy? so yeah if anyone sees me doing that, make sure to....I dunno ask if it was worth it or something.

still doing good tho!
peace

fun session with kevin and matt kemmer

kemmer is ridiculously good. it would be insulting to say something like "...considering he isn't in top form" or "...considering he was clearly dealing with some bad hip pain" because any kind of justification takes away from the first statement, which is inherently true standing on its it. its more of like "matt kemmer is really good at hacky sack" "and also was clearly dealing with some serious hip pain and hasn't been able to play all that much or train the way we all know he would given the chance. but yeah it was a lot of fun, great weather, great timing, great vibes all around. Hogan played pretty well, tho I know his standards for himself are high.

sauced mob and vortex sealed with....did I the porque at the end? eh few good strings too. 4 weeks leftish.

[mtoolan]

The whole worlds thing is finally kicking in.

[slapdash21]

ya im not feelin ready at all

[slapdash21]

mad fun with da beatz last night. impromptu session in front of my apt (first session returning to the scene of the terrible ankle roll) while drinkin brewskies, lotsa girl talk, poli-sci jimmin and jamming, good kickin all around

legbreaker-pdx drifter
stepping far pickupberger
gravediggah-rake haha
legbeater-mob BS
surge-alpine pixie whirl
stepping far knee-cloud stall-clip-run
lots of weird links, overall felt a little bit more like myself again kicking... still choppy and awkward and no strength in my flip clip but getting there

kevin was playin good. hit some new stuff, crossed some stuff of the list... I really like where his heads at footbag-wise and other.

[slapdash21]

came to a very big decision.

gonna spend the next 3.5 weeks leading up to worlds growing the worst most disgusting skeezer 'stache I can. then probably shave it off as soon as I see a hot Canadian chick.

genius.

[slapdash21]

my plan is right on schedule. everytime I pass myself in a mirror I want to kick my own ass.

flylights-

ripped-pdx torque (im sure ive done that before at some point...)
heel set assassin (def never done that before
Mobius and pdx torque both sauced in one string
stepping ss dyno first try (as it should be)
something else

had a great work out after shred too...probably like 80 push ups, 100+ crunches, and a huge amount of curls etc with my little 15s

feelin good!
