Alright, it's been a while! Modified was down for a bit, so boo hoo on that. If we were smart, we would all switch over to footbag.org and shut modified down, but of course everyone has feelings about this piece of software, so noone will.

In any case, I've been playnig SO FUCKING GOOD lately, I had like the best string ever a couple days ago. Included in the string were: Bullwhip, VOID BSOS, Spining Whirl > Blender rpt, Blurry whirl bs, and finally blurrier. String was 30+... ALL GENUINE!!!!!! except for an osis which I zoomed out of. Take THAT MF's!!!!! (You might see that as a deragatory term, but in fact it stands for modifiers)

Also some new moves, I nailed a SUPER CLEAN whirring rake, it felt really good, and something else, hang on, let me remember... fuck ok its been 5 minutes hang on let me try some more... flip spinning swirl, I think, which was cool.

James is also going to be better then me in approx. one year. He is the best kept secret in footbag that I'm spoiling right now. On his good days and on my bad days he is def. either same level as me or better.

Shred TOMMOROW!!!! Im so exicted, there are some sweet things I want to hit.

Later "YALL"

You're too kind Tabernick, but yes, that is my plan, to be better than a busload of people by 2006. The only thing that can save any of you is if I get injured. Why do I have the urge to be better than other people instead of just focusing on my own game? Guess I'm just a dick like that.

I CANNOT WAITTTTTTTTTTTT till I can school peeps in theory AND practice, BOOMSHANKA BABY.

Of course I give massive props and respect to all my footbag brethren, may your blades be perpetually sharp.
I'm gonna have TWO sessions today. Yay.

Ripwalk > far legover
Smear >cliper > cliper
this made my day, but no stretching = short intensity in my sessions, I used to hit more stuff for longer when I stretched, I will work on that now
Also hit DATW I-O and O-I in one string.. still no DATW flipside.. but I almost had it once barefoot..
I'll stay in town for sure this weekend, I WILL TRY to do some of my new stuff on cam, I need to get one move on tape that I didnt hit yet and still have no clue how its called, kind of a datw but finished as an osis... or is that a blender. I'm confused, if I can hit it maybe someone could guide me


Have fun all...

WILD WILD night last night. First im at Claudia's, and shes going to work at angrignon, and James the master lives around there so i call him up for a shred session. Claudia goes to work, and i meet james around 6:00, at some CEGEP, we have a good session. In the hour + session, we both play alright, and i ask James to hit fusion, he tries twice on his good side, and barely misses it, and then tries on his flip and nails it perfectly, with the deepest dexes ive ever seen on a fusion, like the last dex was just under his knee, it was sooooooo tight!!!!!! anyway, james is like "sorry man, i gotta go, going to a party tonight" and we leave around 7:10, and im like, "ya, im going to a party later too with Claudia, i have to meet her back at work at 9:15 so we can get a lift there" and then i tell James im going to go to NDA, to shred with other people, to see if nick, or anyone else is there.
40 minutes later i get to NDA, and am approaching the room, and i hear lots of banging so i naturally think it must be nicks turn :wink: , but when i get to the room, im so disapointed to see its one of those stupid nintendo kids, but hes playing hockey in there with a stick and one of those weird fake wooden pucks they have in those rooms. So i go back to meet Claudia at angrignon early, around 8:30, and at around 9:20 her dad picks us up and we go to the party. Claudia only knows a few people there, and i dont know a soul. So we sorta just chill in the hallway, and dont go into the bgi crowded room, but a few minutes later Claudia pops her head in the room, and sees no one other than the MASTER HIMSELF, JAAAAAMMMMMMEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!! it was sooo awsome, and so ridiculous how we were going to the same party, because James is a few years older than me and we dont know any of the same people, and we live like an hour away from eachother and have never gone to any of the same schools.
So we chill at the party, and get pretty drunk, and then have another session, but not of the footbag kind 8) and it was awsome, and then we went our seperate ways. :D it was a fun night

ohh, also, if were lucky, pictures from the party might be put up later!!!!!!!
they are soooooooo awsome!!!! James is showing the Tundra to the ladies. So James we gotta get those pictures on our BLOG!

It's definitely time for you to get a job James.

Remember that thing about being able to come to Edmonton? You need money for that dude. ;)

I really don't want to read, "Sorry guys, I can't make it." :(

Don't make me cry James. :cry:

OMG that party was hella fun, I think I scared the ladies away with my tundra. I was so wacked though.
haha Kevin it's funny you should mention that because I've been pretty desperate lately and I applied for some wierd stuff....like an adult video production company....aka PORN! The girl acutally asked me during the interview how I would feel if I was a porn star...I was like, 'pretty good'. We'll see if they give me a ring ding.
And also I'm submitting myself as a test subject for a pharmaceutical compay to test drugs....my compensitory indemnity is like 1000$.
Good stuff.
I am definitely coming to edmonton, with Nick as my sidekick.
And also watch out brantford, we're coming to tear it up this summer.

And also, ya'll should be aware of the Montreal summer jam that Nick (mostly) and I are gonna put together. It's gonna be a tight little tourney.


Piece out

I shredded with the Laval crew a few days ago, and it was TITE, with a capital GH in the middle of the 2 t's.

NEW MOVES! Those are always a rarity and a pleasant surprise, and some pretty good ones too. Somehow, magiaclly, my flip quantum goes REALLY high REALLY easily, so I hit some good stuff out of it, such as:

Quantum Torque, Quantum Drifter, Plasma, Toe Haze, Toe Fog, and finally, Quantum ss Blender!! Needless to say, I was pretty ecstatic!

Normally the L crew uses these shitty sandbags which have maybe 3-7 grains of sand left in them, and I convinced one guy, JP, to shred with my 32 for the session, and LO AND BEHOLD he was playing better then ever before! New moves for him include: Porque BS, flip Spinning Whirl, Blender BS, Quantum Whirl and Pdx Torque!! I was really happy for him, because he has such a nice style, its good watching him progressing and busting like he can!

Next shred is going to be tommorow hopefully, and im going to TEAR - IT - UP like you've never seen (All those videos on me have old footage, and im like 10x better now), and im going to try a never-hit-before move. Backside Plasma, anybody?

Where can I download it directly? It won't play in the browser because Apple is stupid and refuses to acknowledge Firefox.

OK, heres the direct link: The Revolution, Today

The reason why I dont normally put direct links is that I like to keep track of how many people view the song for my own pleasure, but whateva. So if Zed works use that, otherwise use the direct one.

Nice Mathieu!

Yeah, for being an arrogant prick in my previous post, Mother Nature cursed me with a bad session yesterday. Curses.

It was REALLY shitty, in a really shitty way. I hit maybe 2 OK combos (pdx blender > scorpions tail, blender > bullwhip) all night, and I couldn't quantum to save my fucking life. I can't BELIEVE my body forgot how to do flip quantums after like 3 days!! Frustration = Me.

Im getting my first paycheck in 2 days though, so thats OK. I can't fucking wait to get some $$$. I want a new computer so that everytime I want to listen to my song while im composing it I dont have to spend fucking forever rendering it as a WAV file first.

And uhhhhh yeah. Uh huh, uh HuH.

So OK, I have nothing left to add.

YALL is a funny word.

Oh don't worry Mathieu, lot's is goin down in Montreal. Like a session with Slick, The Fiend and myself. It was tight. Yax was solid, Nick was on fire and I hit some new moves and had some decent strings. The biggest new move was riptide! Just tried it out of nowhere and nailed it. Also hit fusion and scorpions tail pretty easily, still working on mobes and linking fives, it's coming along. Then I had a solo session yesterday and came yeay close to hitting ripstein! Swirling sets take the utmost finesse. Today I had a really productive half hour solo session, with a chick asking me about the sport. Prolly has a bf though. In any case I was hitting solid genuine 10-15 contact runs (I think I may have hit a 20!), nailing torque all over the place, bedwetter like a joke, spinning and ducking with impunity (I don't care what anyone says, ducks and dives take finesse! Especially if you do combos using osis and spins with them. Amazing stuff.
My knee started to ache so I stopped the session prematurely. I simply cannot risk injury, especially since I only have one year left before worlds 2006...


Peace out my bag bruthas

I played like a putz a couple days ago because of shin splints + slippery floors.

boo.

I got asked to go do a concert in ontario.

uhhhhh, what? What do i do, check out my email after pressing "play" on a laptop, or something?

I have such a lack of inspiration for music right now too, which sucks. I really WANT to write some, but NOTHING is working out properly!!! I probably need to listen to more music, different kinds or something.

I want to play footbag soon some more too. I want to work on flip ps whirls and flip-whirls to spin, those seem tough for some reason.
