Yo Josh, Insane shit dude. It's my favorite video in a while, to be honest. Props on... shit... everything. Especially on Ripped Warrior b2b, feels like the bag is magnetized and traveling through a magnetic field when you hit them both just right, doesn't it? Awesome Revstein. I think you and I are the only players that live in PA that can hit Revstein :P Can you hit it flipside? Really tough, but I can almost get around the bag twice. Bummer you won't be at PSU Jam. I wanna kick with you again soon. Hope you're doing well man. Take it easy.

Great video, really loved it. Mob-mob was cool, and I really liked the sick 3 with zooming out of symp twirl. Looking sharp man!

Thanks Nick. ripped warrior b2b was actually the most frustrating thing for me on this vid. Been able to hit it both sides but for some reason had a hell of a time trying to link them together. Not even close to revstein flip. Gonna practice some other stuff before I even put that on my agenda.

Thanks Kevin & Ken.
Actually wanted to hit Spender out of symp twirl, which is completely possible for me, but I really do believe I am an underachiever.

lololol I promise I will try harder to work on my pdx whirls soon.
Just realized I could've done a toe beast if I had started off with Pixie Massacre.

Oh wait.
Seeing my own quote there I sound like a dick, when I didn't mean to! I wasn't being sarcastic. For some reason I thought 555, not 666. Maybe just ignore everything I said before >____< Sick combo regardless.

First update in over 5 years.

Played 6 consecutive days in a row. Took yesterday off. It probably was a good thing because I played this morning and my legs were very fresh. I had some solid guiltless runs of 15-20 contacts consisting of barrages, DLOs, drifters, and gyro stuff. Hit Mobius bsos first attempt. I feel like it's all starting to come back to me. The other day, I felt like I had completely lost my flipside stepping set (took a couple dozen attempts to even hit Blur). Today I managed to hit blurry whirl, blurry drifter and fog all within a couple attempts each.

Threw in a couple fearless links as well. Phoenix > Blurry Whirl & Phoenix > Pdx Torque both each both sides.

I've stayed away from anything Symposium. Don't want to push it too hard too fast.

As long as my neck is feeling good, I plan to continue playing. I know my fearless record is 7 and I did that in March of 2012, right when my neck decided to lock up on me. I hope to exceed that within a few months. We'll see how this goes.

More to come later.

Great. Hope to see some video with some heavy background music coming up soon. I've noticed there's been a bunch of players putting the shoes back on that might not have played for about 4-5 years and that's just great. Maybe having Worlds in Portland (whether they went or not) has some influence, maybe people are just getting to a stage where they're doing it for fitness or fun or whatever, but it's great to see, particularly when people pick it back up and going straight into things like mobius bsos!

I watched a ton of Worlds footage. I think that has something to do with it.

Put in a little over an hour today.

- Blurry Whirl & Spinning Whirl. Both bsos.
- Janiwalker on 2nd attempt. Couldn't quite get it flipside. Oh well, I'm not worried about that one yet. Like I said, just a couple of days ago, my flip stepping was nearly unheard of.
- Phoenix > Blurry Whirl > Pdx Torque. Hoping to get this on flipside soon.
- Favorite part of today was Rubberman (sealed with toe Barrage). Feels like my Atomic sets are just as good, if not better, than they were when I stopped playing.

Every day I've played, there has been a different part of my legs that has hurt. Nothing serious, but enough that I don't want to push myself too hard. Probably a good thing. I just wish I had more time for this.

Put in close to 2 hours today. Longest session so far. Body has been feeling good.

- Drilled a little bit of my guiltless game. Nothing worth noting. Flip Stepping is still getting stronger.

- Quantum Mirage b2b just to make sure I could still do it.

- Hit my first couple 6s since starting back up:

What's your guiltless record? I have been aiming to get to 100 lately. Haven't got there yet, but had some runs in the mid 70s.

I never put much effort into keeping track, but a good guess would be 40-45.
Not sure if I would ever hit 100. Would need to teach myself how to breathe better mid-run.

Putting some fearless stuff back together.

- Phoenix>Swivel
- Blurry Whirl > Swivel
- Blurry Whirl b2b. Checking back on my personal stats list, my record is 6 consecutive Blurry Whirls. I might have awhile to go to get back to that.

Legs were fresh today. Put over 2 hours in. I hope I didn't overdo it.

Blurry Whirl x 3. Coming back.

Just wanted to comment about how much better it is to shred in the early mornings. I wish I would've done that a lot more when I was younger, but alas, I think I was hungover for the majority of my early-mid 20's.

Man, how I would change that (among many other things) if I could ever go back and get the chance.

I think I'm just going to post about every new (and re-newed) fearless link.

Today - Phoenix > Spinning Ducking Butterfly > Pdx Blender

And it begins again. I have to take a few days off because of swelling in my right ankle. I don't know why it's swollen but it might be because of how I've been digging my planting foot into the ground when zooming out of Osis. Disappointing, because I've played 17 out of the last 19 days.

Whatever. It is what it is.

Did manage to get 4 fearless, though.

Fog > Phoenix > Blurry Whirl > Blurry Whirl (not new - I did this back in 2011). Snagged the dex on the Pdx Torque at the end.
