OMG, today i hit 6 consecutive blurry whirls. That is a lot of blurry whirls. Before today, I had only hit 3 consecutive blurry whirls, so you can imagine my surprise as I was hitting that sweet, sweet combo. That is also my first linking of 6 fearless contacts, even tho there were only 2 uniques in the string.

i hit flip fusion for the first time tonight. It was prolly pretty thin, but Im counting it. Also I hit 2 clean flipside "wet dreams" or "flaming tards." That was a first as well.

Other than that, I hit 4 consec barflies again, a nice small symp run, a nice ducking/diving run with about 6 variations of single leg dexing after ducks/dives, and blurry whirl>fog. Also, i hit vortex>whirling swirl.

Jackbag hit her first flipside mirage, sealed with a toe stall. I was more excited than she was, but she was excited. She also hit her longest run:
-mirage> toe>toe>pixie>toe>pixie>toe>drop on flip pixie

Long session tonight. Almost too tired to type.

I managed:
:arrow: ps whirl>symp whirl>ps whirl
:arrow: janiwalker>bedwetter 8O
:arrow: flip atomic dog (atomic dlo) for first time!
:arrow: blurry whirl> blurry drifter (1 side only)
:arrow: ripstein about 4 times, all unsealed or w/ handcatch
:arrow: clooooose to pixie ducking drifter

i wasnt trying to hit runsa at all this session, just skooling tricks, combos, and concepts. It was fun I guess. I hit good stuff, but i didnt feel as if it was a great session.

I went to LA last week and had 2 sessions with various LA shredders, mostly Chris Pinkus. It was fun. Neither of us shredded our best, thats for sure, but some good shit was hit.

i remember chris hitting some absurd shit, something like: backside fog> pandemonium>backside smog (dont quote me tho)

also . . . continuing to improve his clippers, can hit blurs, ripwlks, etc.

I hit :arrow: genesis sealed with a run, captured on video! It was comfirmed to be clean by a couple witnesses and will sometime be uploaded to comp. format but i dont know when. In a few days, I'll get to hred with Ales , Dat, Jackbag, Moxie, and Felix.
