Shred 5: Thursday 3rd of March 2005
It was a pretty good shred tonight. The usual, 1 hour. Worked on mirages and legovers. New legover record: 18! I like legovers. I worked on that legover>atw drill and that mirage> pixie drill. It is fun. Worked on ducks, hitting ducking clipper both sides. Bit of spinning work. I am very happy about my drifters, they are coming along. This night was very similar to others. I am getting better at stringing.

Shred 6: Friday 4th March 2005
I kicked properly with Kaiwen and Otto for the first time tonight. Otto has a new record of like 6 toe delays. Kaiwen is also going very well. I got them to do drills. Teaching is especially difficult when talking to people who know only basic english. I went Ok. My runs are whack. Very long indeed. My moves arent getting *that* much better but my stringing is the best.

Go the 18 legovers! I just read your whole blog. It was very interesting. Hopefully you will come back to Australia soon so we can shred.

Shred 7: Sunday 6th March 2005
I kicked for 1.5 hours today. I worked on everything. I feel I am getting alot better. I am happy. I actually didnt work on illusions or pickups. But I did some run shredding more than I usually do. I am trying to make sure that I do flipside pdx mirages instead of just clip mirages. It is hard. My drifters are alot better. i figured for one of my sides I have to set lower, that alleviated problems.

Shred 9: Thursday 10th of March 2005
Kicked at home today. It was ok because I got to listen to all this music on the stereo, other than that it wasnt very good. My performance wasnt good.

Shred 11: Sunday 13th March 2005
I had a pretty good, 1 hour shred today. I did some basics. My mirage>pixie> repeat disappointed me though... I almost hit flipside paradon. Overall it was a C standard shred. I did hit 6 infinities in a row though!!!

12th Shred.

Its been a while since I have last kicked. Today I shredded with otto for a relatively short period of time. i couldnt in the previous days because i hurt my ankle when I was shadow bagging frantic illusion b2b

Anyway otto hit pixie today. I was very happy. He hit atw mid string aswell. I am happy with his progress.

im going to shred now...

Blue_turnip · Post by **Blue_turnip** » 21 Mar 2005 23:58

I have quite a bit to say...

Ill start with my shred session today. 13th Shred. It was my first proper shred by myself in a while. It was fun. I am still alot better than I was. I have improved. I didnt do anything today that I havnt already acheived but I feel I am getting better. O i did some really good stepping sets that was cool.

Today was the ultimate modification day. I cleaned my lavers just a while ago with some water and some good ol' persin. I got rid of the sweat stains in the mesh but the mesh is still pretty dirty. I cleaned the leather bit where the laces go through and also the bit near the sole where it says adidas. Those bits are really white. I went out and bought new insoles for the lavers. These black ones. I ripped out the original insoles just before cleaning - they are wrecked! The black insoles are good for my knees and they look awesome! I also bought new laces which are shorter, meaning when the lavers dry and I lace them I probly wont have to tuck the laces in

.

I also recieved soccer shorts which I ordered in the mail

They are ultimate!

Yay!

Ill try and get pics up soon. I made my first two bags today, out of denim scraps from my mums sewing. I filled the first one with plastic bb bullets. It was pretty good for a first bag, a bit worse than and ace. Now my second, which Im gonna give to otto I am very proud of. Same material, four panels (like before) but filled with rice. The stitching rocks. It looks just like a sandmaster its just denim instead. Im so happy. I am actualy gonna play with these bags. They are good. I will make the next few out of crushed panne. The only reason that this bag is not like awesome is cos of the material. The filler rocks! I recommend rice if any noob comes across this thread.

Yesterday I played for 1.5 hours. It was ok. Hit some ripwalks. Did abit of fun stuff and just the usual. Oh and because I made some bags I could do abit of juggling with 2 bags on one foot - FUN

O yea, and today It was a huge shred of 2.5 hours. I seriously spent the last hour of it just attempting flipside paradon. Near the very end I hit 2 thin ones and one pretty good one. I was very happy. It was a tiring shred... it will soon pay off once both feet recover from their respective injuries
