wow man, that's amazing......you actaully took the time to stretch.....even I noticed that my stretching's been pushed out of the way lately......props


and about the hair, yeah I had long hair too until about three or so weeks ago. When I kicked, it got soo much in the way.....then when I cut my hair, everything else was...oh I don't know....about 100% more visible.

:)


uhhhh....about the energy drink.....I'm intrigued.....:)

Try not to do the energy drink thing any time before you shred, at least. They're full of caffeine, which is a diuretic and a vasoconstrictor... meaning it dehydrates you (your kidney deposits more water into your urine than you actually consume) and constricts your blood vessels--which really isn't hot for physical activity.

sorry to post again so soon in your blog Zach



but for Stephen, and his energy drink advice which actually makes sense what about Gatorade? I find that I get slightly more thirsty when I dirnk that....or maybe that's just me.

this weekend was the jam in Philly. it started out on saterday morning matt cross asked if he and aric could crash here, and ofcource they could so they arived around 9 ish we got some kicking in my basement going witch was fun, altho i wish my basement was bigger, im sure they understand why i want summer to come so bad :). i woke up on sunday to matt at the end of my bed holding a blunt.... i mean it just cant get any better then that. we left at 10:30 got alittle lost, me an ryan fallowed matt and aric up, they took dan miller with them for us so the car wasnt so packed on the way up. dan murphy went, and my girl friend leanna came along. every one had a kick ass time witch made me 2X as happy. ryan seems to really be in to footbag since the turny. so dose dan an dan ;) leanna really enjoyed it too, this guy i cant rember his name, * sorry * gave leanna some kicking lessions witch was really cute to watch :) then he gave her a pretty neat black an white mr sand bag, im gonna get her some lavers and make sure she puts it to some use :). i competed witch i was pretty nervese to do, i thought i as ok un till they say ZACH HOFFA and you get insane butterflys but i did it, and i got 3rd in shred 30 and 2nd in routine, i really could have done alot better. but there is always next time, and im very exsited for next time. there was some insane stuff being hit, some awsome compatition, i love watching jon, the sick trick compatiton open was really sweet. i had some really good shred, i hit pendulum spinning butterfly for the first time... and the only time haha i think im gonna add pendulum moves in to my strings alot more they are really fun and different. we left then around 5 30 and got insanely lost in the middle of philly. lucky we got on track and got home all right. it was a great weekend.

i went to the mall today an me an my one friend, steve, whom is intrested in footbag, an i looked for lavers in footlocker i suspected there to maybe be leather lavers an we didnt find any in the first footlocker an we walked out, this mall was new to me an i didnt know there was another footlocker for sports in the same mall an steve said something about it an i made him run me there to where we found them. 40$ im gonna see to it that every one whos been wanting lavers in my area gets a pair, if i have to take there money an go by them to get them the modavation to kick. i notice that once ppl get a desent bag an shoes they really get a kinda modavational bost.


i wish a girl would start kicking an takeing footbag sirusely. im soon gonna start going an hang'n out at the soccar feilds an track feilds an find a nice athletic girl. maybe i can get one to convert ;) footbags the closest thing to a religian in my book. alot of my friends have been starting to kick an it seems i get confused kind of when they dont seem to take it as seriusly as i do. but i gess that just comes in time. any one else ever feel like that?


well enogh with that shiiiot, my shreds been doing great, i been puting together so many new combos in the last few weeks. i think its shreding outside an good spring weather, when its not raining. its cool tho lattly the weather has been really nice so i can shred then its kinda shitty so i dont shred so much just alittle, then it rains an i just chill an dont kick those days an i heal up. my endurance has gotten alot higher since i stoped smokeing so much and been training an working out alot. every day i shred my rutine has been.....

call brandon or get ahold or someone to kick with
then while im waiting for them i run laps around the block
i rest alittle bit an stretch then kick for a good 10 15 mins
then play alittle
then once im warmed up bust hard nice long strings
then train after some resting an stretching


this has been working great for me i recomend jogging befor shreding it really seems to make a hugh deferance it just warms your legs up an lossens them up for stretching.

as for new tricks, i really havent been hiting to many NEW new tricks i hit ripstien the other day finaly but other then that i have been just working on consistance an my flipside i really been working on pixie sets. my flips are horabule i regret not learning them when i should have, when i started, also wish i would have drilled whirls more becouse i have to make up for all that now if i want to hit the combos an strings i want to hit.... must hit....have too.


an one last little cool thing befor i end my post that no one will comment on :(
my good friend samual wants to make a video of me, a footbag video an it will be digtal an pretty sweet bc he is all in to the AV shit at school. for those who dont know, i dont have any fotage of me on line so this will be sweet if we get around to it.

welp im at school so i gess ill update alittle i havent been useing modified bc its not worth it any more these days. all i get is trojans just to sit on this site an pretty much do noting. all onesty i dont see why i waste my time posting in this blog at all on the count that no one seems to read any thing i type. month of may should be sweet 2 footbag turnys grass an in nj at jons. im pretty exsited my bday is may 9th as well. i got alot of new stuff to show off i been geting alot better. finaly hiting guiltless combos consistantly. been double dexing alot but i relize that my left leg cant do near what my right can do. so im really gonna just work on geting my flipside stuff down. i been hiting ripstien alot i think ill soon have it down pat. swirling osis, osis inside spinning osis x10, ripwalk b2b, blender>pdx whirl>spinning cliper, spinning cliper x5, spinning ducking butterfly, paradon>swirl>ss ducking butterfly>spinning cliper. i been working out alot of stuff an have alot of stuff i dont even know names for. part the reson im so stoked to go to some comps is to show off some my new stuff i think everyone will notice the improvement. i still dont have any where to stay when i go to grass. i think i may end up sleeping in the car if no one helps me an ryan out with some crash space. i got to take a test.


see you guys there.
