HA ! You are too funny Brad.

Also, I'm going to make a tutorial on the mods I did with my new shoe. I'll have to do them on my old shoes since my new ones are already done. So expect that too be up in a few days. Maybe today.

Saturday evening, Brad, Bob and I sessioned at the clinic. I was pretty tired and my body wasn't feeling too good from shredding 3 hours on Friday and not getting enough sleep. I still happened to hit a new move that I was really expecting, Symposium Tomahawk (Ducking paradox symposium whirl). Nobody was really sticking out and shredding real well, it seemed our energy was somewhat low. Something was bothering Brad's knee, and Bob still has a weakened ankle, it's a bit tight. His knee is also having problems, but he is going to a knee specialist soon. So keep us all updated Bobby !

We filmed some, but only sets because I want to make a new webpage with sets on my site. We completed most of the sets we could do, so as soon as Brad completes the video editing and I complete the new page, I'll post that up here and the video section. Even though we didn't have the best of sessions we finished our Saturday with a blast. I thought we were going to party at my house, but we took it to my other friend's house. We had lots of delicious pizza and I brought over my housewarming gift Brad gave to me, Grey Goose Vodka. As I was eating pizza, on my third slice, I had pepporoni and sausage, I told Brad, this would be the most disgusting puke ever, so I better not drink to much.

Later I managed to take a shot of vodka, and any liquor I have makes me gag, because I drank waaay too much a couple months ago to where I was deathly sick. So now when I have straight liquor I gag. Well, I shot the liquor and out came the most beautiful substances from my body. What a fun night that was because 3 of my friends from college came in, with the combonation of my local best friend's.

On a good note, I worked hard and finished making a Tubing Modification Tutorial in one day. I used Bob's shoe for this mod, 2 out of 3 WV crew members recommend this modification

well wv crew played friday. I had a docter appt in parkersburg so i made my way in. all and all, no one played great, but no one played horrible. my strings sucked, but whats new? and john and I worked on the same combo for like an hour without success. I hit a couple new moves but nothing really amazing. haha, must not have been a great session beacuse its tuesday right now and i've already forgotten pretty much everything that happened.

WAIT! i just remembered that i did do something new and i can actually do it fairly consistantly!
torque > spinning variations!

thats right folks, i learned i can spin after torque. i don't know where that came from. i tried torque mobius, but "that combo was just too physically demanding." <---props if anyone can tell me what video that quote came from.

I kicked a bit today, nothing special, but I wanted to throw in a pic of the finished shred surface I put down.

I mostly drilled pixies and double downs today. My flip pixie took a turn for the worse a couple of months ago so I've been trying to get it back into shape. Here are some short strings I did inbetween drills when I got bored:

hey bob, that quote is from chads part in one of sams vids. i forget the name of the vid though.

Whoa! what surface did you lay down?

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 26 Oct 2004 15:00

The quote is from Sessions

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 26 Oct 2004 15:44

2 precut 9' by 12' rolls of linoleum from Lowes. It's fake wood, can't really tell from the picture. If you ever try this, only do it on a surface that is completely flat and smooth. I attempted to patch up and even out the cement, but it only helped some. Any petrusions or rough spots will eventually poke up into the linoleum or through it if sharp enough. You will be stomping on it non-stop, so make sure the base layer is completely smooth.

Today's session was a little slow. It started off pretty well. I was feeling all smooth and consistent. My game started to deteriorate after about a half hour though. I still did one of the coolest 2-trick combos I think has ever come from my legs: big apple>sumo.

thats insane! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE props!

and brad kicks everyone in the wv crew's ass again.

my session i pretty much just tried to do ken's challenge again.....and again failed. this is the second session now i've tried doing it aaaand i'm just not consistant enough. although the challenge has really helped me to map out some things. i actually listed all the fives. then i seperated them by if i can play out of them into another 5. and then i seperated them by what the start with (right toe, right clip, left toe, left clip) and then i seperated them by what they end with. now i actually know, from this list, every combination of 4 5add moves i can link.
i recommend people trying this out. it really helps ya see all your possible combos.

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 01 Nov 2004 16:53

Couple of non-footbag related topics. I think I'll time myself on how fast I can beat Ninja Gaiden II, any challengers, post me suckah !

My computer is completely messed up, I was just working on 3 new pages consisting of exercises for ankle, knee, and hip. Now that is on hault because all the pictures I took are gone, so I can't edit them as of now, nor can I turn my computer on... Brad, that doesn't mean to stop editing those set videos, because once you get that finished, I can put it on my site through your computer, everything is still ready

It's amazing how computer reliant I am to pass time up, I came home today after school and had about 4 hours between class and work. I couldn't think of anything to do, because I come home, and get on the computer ! So i washed some dishes and made THE best double decker sandwhich ever, watched mTV and dosed to sleep a couple times. Ok, so I will footbag a little more than usual until my computer is fixed...but I have a bad feeling about it

Footbag goals ?? :
- Drifter > whirl combo x's 4
- Vertigo bsos
- 40 tiltless string
- 30 guiltless string
- Swivel, janiwalker, fury, fog.
- Fear > Smear > Atomsmasher repeat
- Flip toe blur
- aaaand just keep skoolin and havin fun !

EDIT : check out my halloween pics on the Halloween Thread

I played today during John Kerry's concession speech. My spirits weren't very high. I couldn't believe what happened last night escpecially from my own state. We are largely democrat. Hell, our new Democrat Govenor won by over 65%. All I ever hear about is how Bush is doing a terrible job and my state ends up going red? Huh? Anyways, I did a lot of drills and worked on my flip fairy a lot. Here's some stuff I did:

Brad and I had our after work clinic session on Friday evening. Quite fun, we were jamming out to XM radio, which is my favorite music choice. Started with some hiphop, maybe The Rhyme - then we switched later to BPM which was some sweet bumpin techno genre music.

Brad seemed pretty damned tired, his legs looked like they were somewhat lazy. That didn't stop us though, we played for about 1.5 hours. My black suede shoes are absolute shit , I warn anyone that buys them off of ebay, the quality of these shoes are horrible !!! I have to glue all sorts of fabric because the stitching is very subpar. After the shred, Brad helped me take some pics for some new hoodshouse stuff, hopefully I should be finishing up some new exercise pages within a couple days. As for my game, I kicked like normal, I was really feeling the music that evening, and hit...nothing memorable. I wasn't really shredding hard, because today we're going to Huntington to visit Bob at Marshal University. The college I dropped out of and where Brad transferred out. It's been quite a while since I've been there. If I'm feeling good, I plan on shredding long and hard, and then some !
