well i just had a great little shred in my room in between classes. i saw my friend bryan in front of the UC today and i asked him for my lavers back so i could see how i felt in them, having not used them in over 2 weeks, so i borrowed them back and did a few contacts in my room because i was itching to play and my legs dont hurt as much any more.
i totally forgot how easy toe stalls are in lavers!
anyway, i hit some stuff i was rather proud of today
to start off a string i hit whirl BSOS!
clip>whirl>op clip>whirl>clip>string that felt great because it was the first time i hit my weak side whirl
i also hit smear for the first time today, and then hit it flipside!
to cap it all off i hit dimwalk bsos today as well
it was a friggin cool 20 minute session, im gonna shred more later after my classes, but right now im late for one so im outta here!
Peace Love and FOOTBAG!!!!

partying + footbag = pain
my friend dave just left school for good yesterday, so we threw him a 3 day going away party, it wrecked me, and footbag is definately not at its best when you're getting over 3 days of constant drinking and smoking.
i decided to have a small shred session in my room today so that i can start rehabilitating my body, i didnt try anything hard because my muscles hurt but i managed to hit
mirage>mirage rpt x 4 and in the same string did it op side.
i also decided to take a closer look at my stepping sets because i didnt know it but i was getting really lazy with them and hardly lifting my dex leg up, resulting in the back of my knee catching the bag almost every time, damn thats frustrating. it was an easy fix though, i just had to stop being lazy, after i had deduced the problem, i hit
clip>ripwalk>pickup>ripwalk. thats the first time ive hit it twice in one string, im drilling butterfly>stepping set now on both sides to work up to b2b ripwalks.
i also did a little pixie work and hit dimwalk on my strong side again.
my legovers were really off today, and after dropping them like 7 or 8 times in a row, i decided i would practice them tomorrow and lay off of them today so i dont get frustrated.
anyway thats all, im gonna do a few more contacts now because i can never not play after posting, so hopefully ill have an edit soon!

hehe partying + footbag = great time
you're missing something here ripwalk > pickup > ripwalk
pickup = set > op in > same Toe nice job on ripwalk midstring, despite
for ripwalk b2b really work on getting the clipper foot to go down really close to the ground after the butterfly so that you can spring back up into another stepping set.

well, its been an interesting couple of days
right after my last post i did shred like i said i was going to, but after about 15 minutes, i had this ridiculous pain in my left shin and the right one was acting up too, i think i definately have a shin splint on my left leg, and there may be one in my right leg too.
it isnt unbearable and i think that i should be able to play within the next couple of days, i did a few contacts today just to see how it felt and it was ok, i didnt do anthing really, a couple of clippers and toe stalls, a legover or two and a few mirages, i hit a smear in there somewhere too, but when i did it hurt a bit so i streched out, and kicked a little and then called it quits for the day.
ive been using my lavers again as of late but im working on a way to build toe walls in my asics because they would be ultimate shred shoes if the toes were a little easier.
this is completely un footbag related but 2 shitty things happened today and yesterday. one of my 6 best friends here at college, his grandmother died yesterday and im going to the wake tomorrow, that really sucks because the 6 of us are so tight that when something like that happens it fucks up all of us.
another really shitty thing was today i got my letter from the theater and preforming arts department telling me that i didnt get into the acting program, this puts me in a really weird spot because im finishing up my sophmore year and theres nothing left for me at adelphi, i might be transferring but im going to audition again and maybe itll be different this time.

so i ended up doing a few contacts, ya know, like ya do, and my friend pete came in and he sees me play all the time so i was just fooling around, then he asked me a question about sets so i was showing him a bunch of different sets,
"this is a pixie set, this is a stepping set, this is a an atomic set, and a quantum set is set from here, and then you do this movement, ive never hit it but ill give it a try.... holy shit! that was clean!!!!"
so i hit quantum toe today, it was fun.

well its been a friggin long time since ive posted and i was on spring break all last week and it was intense. i started by going up to rochester, shredded a little in the city and the next day went to toronto. for 2 or 3 days i just fooled around up there and had some fun, and set a shred date with the toronto shredders for thursday evening, but ill get to that later.
I should preface the rest of this by saying that i still have my shin splints right now
then i decided it would be a good i dea to call tom mosher, i thought that kingston was about 45 minutes to an hour north of toronto, not 3 hours.
to put perspective on this, i drove 360 miles to rochester from long islad, then another 200 or so miles to toronto, and again another 200 or so miles to kingston to shred with tom, get fucked up, and then shred with tom and derrick.
the night we got to kingston it was 1am before we arrived, we hung out a bit, did a whole bunch of bongs EACH, and then tom and i decided it was a good idea to go shred outside, he had found a primo spot and we drank beer and shredded hard till 6 in the morning. (for the amusing cop story, please see toms blog) anyway i dont remember any of my strings (understandibly, ive played every day since i posted last) but I HIT MY FIRST BLUR! which was of course awesome. The highlight of that night, however was tom loaning me his old climas that are to big for him, ive been playing in them religiously since i recieved them and they are so prime.
the next day we went to the U of Kingston and kicked with derrick, it was sweet, i hit a couple of ducking clippers, another blur, and a couple of dimwalks.
we drove back to toronto that evening, soaked in the hot tub to relax our muscles and then passed out
the following evening a whole bunch of toronto shredders came to my condo and kicked with my and my buddy pete from school, it was a great session and i hit my first parkwalk, which is a sweet trick in my opinion
after all this mayhem, on friday, we drove back to rochester and before even going home, i went and shredded with chris dean at RIT, he is so damn good, and im in awe of his shuffle, that session was pretty cool but really short, and that was when my shin splints were acting up the worst.
next day i drove back to school with pete and as soon as i arrived, matt cross arrived and we had a session in the lounge and outside of my building. it wasnt that great of a session for me because i was exhausted from the week and from a lot of partying. after the session we smoked a gotti and ill post pics of that soon, i also have a vid of my first blur and i soon will of my parkwalks and dimwalks (bsos by friday, you'll see!)
the next day i started dialing my one adds and my tiltless, i spent almost that entire session trying to get as many toe stalls as possible, i hit 32, 5 mirages in a row, 3 legovers (no biggie i know) and a whole bunch of my harder tricks mid-tiltless.
the next day i did the same, got 50 toe stalls and then started drilling my flip pixies, nothing special yet.
a couple more days of bullshitting around during my sessions so as not to kill my shins and i hit 12 same side clippers in a row strong side, and 6 weak.
today i had a crazy session in my room after taking a 3 hour nap, i woke up at about 11:30 and started kicking, just loosening my muscles, then i started toe stalls, then tiltlessm and then, after i was good and warmed up, i started drilling all my 3 adds and 4 adds. i hit a couple of blurs, had my weak pixies waist high, hit weak side pixie op pickup, strong side PLO with a plant (first time) like 8 times total. i also hit pixie ss mirage today too.
i cant really think of anything else for now so ill end there. ill be posting regularly again now
i friggin love this sport!

well i dont have much to say about yesterdays shred, but i was doing some barefoot in my room for fun just now, and i hit 4 clean atomic ss toe in a row. it felt great.
then i was fooling around with sailing because believe it or not, the set part of it is actually easier for me than atomic is, it flows easier and when i do them, the dexes are still seperate, i dont scrunch my knees together.
anyway i hit
atomic toe>toe>sailing toe>toe>atomic toe>toe>sailing toe (drop)
all barefoot,
im probably going to play later in shoes and ill post about that if i do.

im still in the middle of a session so ill finish my update after then with a perfectly placed
EDIT: so i continued sessioning for another 30 minutes (whence my legs stopped working) and i managed to hit flip PLO and dimwalk BSOS!
i was really drilling my pixies on both sides hard, i was getting them shoulder height time after time
i decided that i should try ducking some, and after ducking and hand catching 4 on my good side i tried phoenix, i hit it off of my dex leg a couple of times in a row, and then i remembered the advice tom mosher gave me and tried it on my flip, I FOOTED IT FIRST TRY!!!! i was sooo friggin psyched, i started jumping around the room, im such a moron sometimes. anyway, i love this sport so much!

was shredden at about 10 pm out in front of one of the cafeterias, decent lighting if you dont mind an orange glow. anyway i was schooling everything, and hitting 7 plus tiltless, with no less then one four-add each time, and of course lots of butterflies and osii.
anyway, when i was dialing single tricks i managed to hit my first drifter, and then 2 tries later on my flip as well, i footed b2b four or five times, im gonna hit b2b within the next couple of days, i can feel it.
thats about it for today, oh yeah, i made 2 footbags tonight, and last night, i emptied a darryl bag and filled it with plastic and metal bbs, it worked awesome until i shredded outside with it and it started immediately developing holes in the white panels, so that bag is being retired for a while, it was my first.
thats it!

oh yeah, ive used shoe goo as well as tiny little patches of cloth tape, the thing is that the holes are filler sized and need the cloth tape, and i cant find mine, so i havent repaired it yet. shoe goo isnt as good at such large holes.
ill try and get a hold of that tape so i can repair it before giving it back to you, alex.
