Dave, man... man!! You are my inspiration :)

You make me want to push myself so hard in my game that it's unhealthy for my knees. Seeings those strings you posted (as well as all the other things you write down) make me want to shred harder to match your ability but I highly doubt that will happen.

Jorden does make a lot of people look bad, and sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder why you are even doing it in the first place, but don't forget that you may also be an inspiration and role model to the up and coming players!

Keep posting Mr. Clavens! Your hard work is not going by unnoticed :)

Try and hit some barraging out of harder stuff. Seems that most of the time you list janiwalkers it's to start a run.

sidewalk > janiwalk > rpt.

or if that's too easy (hah) try stepping same whirl > janiwalk > rpt.

Awesome stuff you're doing man. Keep it up.

8O 8O :o 45 adds in 10 tricks!! It's simply dumfounding.

I would like nothing more than for you to come here over summer. I am extremly stoked at the possibility. Try not to make it between July 14 and August 8th. If I work hard enough I might do the whole european summer thing. Tell your parents they should let you stay 3-5 extra days here, you can stay at my place free. Plane fair would be the same, food would be the only additional cost. The shred would be superb, and I promise there'll be nothing around that you'd want to avoid. Please keep me posted on this possibility. :D

David Clavens - April 21st and 23rd.

Image

Right there are some pictures of me my friend took for a photo class. i thought id show you guys.

yesterday i had a session with jon s. two days before that, a good solo session. on friday i had to work so no session there. i thought i would list a few highlights becuase i think i played really well yesterday. im pretty happy with my game except for like, my eggbeaters and my low use of quantum/furious/blenders.

so here we go.

2 sessions combined:
mobius>blurry whirl (both sides)
pdx. blender>ripwalk (both sides)
spinning pdx. blender>ripwalk (both sides)
barrage>paradon>barfly>barage>paradon>barfly>ddd>barfly>ddd>barfly>scorpians tail
nemisis again
janiwalker>scorpians tail (both sides)
blurry whirl>blurry whirl>ps whirl>spin whirl>ps whirl>mobius into a string.
ripped warrior>ripped warrior
ripped warrior>spinning ducking pdx. mirage
janiwalker>janiwalker into a string
mullet first try (which is weird cuz this used to be so hard)
blurry whirl>blurry drifter (repeat)
vortex>vortex first try
janiwalker bsos + flip fury (all same string)

idk, im probably forgetting stuff but those are highlights i was really happy with. a lot of that stuff is like my new concepts combined with old stuff. plus starting a string with 6 fearless was an awesome feeling. and rip>rip is such a monster combo.

jon played really well too, with his blend of dragons and stuff. i liked how he was doing a lot more blenders. jon is REALLY chill and i love kicking with him becuase i have a really like hardcore shred personality and he balances me out becuase he is all about just chilling and enjoying himself. it was his advice to calm down and relax that led to a lot of my good spinning strings.

im really looking forward to the new jersey spike and shred. i wish i could go to GLASS, but i cant, so spike and shred is the next thing on my mind. i think im going to skool really hard on my routine and shred 30 cuz id like to do well in competing. i found a good routine song the other day when i was driving around with my dad, so if that fits ill use it. sick 3's im not sure, but i think ill go with like fog>pixie paradon>flurry? im not sure, if anyone has advice on sick 3's that i could probably pull please lend some advice. i think i may want to throw in some furious in it too. jani>jani>fog would be amazing, but ive never even done that.

well, till next time,

Man, you are just so good :D Blurry Whirl > Blurry Drifter (rpt)? Not to mention the double down combo. I remember your vids, in which you hit Tomahawk and Phoenix, and then the other one with Blurry Whirl > Mobius, but you made such great progress since then :D I think you have a really cool style and reading your blog inspires me to try and go harder :D Keep busting!

april whatever the hell day it is, 2005

sucky session. not sucky in tricks, but sucky in lines and stuff. spinnign whirl was taking like, multiple attempts, and my knees felt weird and it was the first time playing in like 2 days. whatever. i just feel off balance and inconsistant. whatever.

highlights:

high plains drifter (one side, footed on the other so many times)
flipside mullet (ducking ps whirl)
janiwalker>mullet
janiwalker>blur>legbeater>janiwalker>blur>legbeater>ps whirl
blurry drifter>pdx. torque>pdx. blender (both sides)
janiwalker>fog>pixie paradon>blurry whirl

whatever.

i tried to make a routine tonight, and i sucked at it. like, idk if its the song or if its just my limited creativity. idk. i just felt like i went from ripping with jon to sucking solo. whatever, ill try again tommorow after school.
