Number 6 sorta falls in line with how guiltless players can play 'genuine' or not. Genuine would be guiltless without the easy 3-add bails - butterfly, paradox mirage and osis.

Genuine looks so good. mmmmmm........

ive practiced a lot in my saucony shadow sneakers, but its usually kicking, not shredding

yesterday i was out on the basketball court and i finally broke 100 kicks, with 116. that felt good. then it started to rain, and i didnt feel like going inside, so i had rain shred, with a soaking wet sandbag and my saucony shoes. i managed to hit just about every trick that i can hit normally in those shoes, that felt really good, having the confidence that i can play at least a little in any shoes shows me that i am actually getting good. im so much more confident in my play than i used to be.

FLIP NEO BUTTERFLY!!!!!

damn, so much has happened since the last time i posted, 16 days ago.

well, GRASS was unbelievable, huge shred, awesome people, great times to be had by all, but i wasnt representing how i can actually play, matt suggested that i put toe walls on my asics, and the day after grass i did. VOILA! my shred explodes.

ive hit a shit ton of new links since then

and yesterday at the park (seems to be the main place im playing at the moment) i hit ripwalk b2b! that was the highlight of my session and i cant really think of anything else besides some nice long guiltless strings and a lot of really controlled infinities with sidewalks and such here and there

im gonna work my ass off this next week and a half before spike on my flip pixies and stepping sets, if i can dial them in, i think ill be in great shape for shred 30.

hahahah, foot crack... Ripwalk b2b was sweet, it was almost like I saw it coming. You did it really well. Once you can start drilling those back and forth, it will really help your strength and balance, which, in turn will help your shred get better.

I want to play today, but I think I'm going to take the day off. How about Friday afternoon? ps. thanks for coming to my craptacular show last night, and good playing on white rabbit. I was nervous when you started because I'd never heard you fiddle before, but it sounded good. all right, later.
BRICK!

thats cool, it is 6:46 pm and i just woke up anyway. after i left your house last night i went to lux, and then dickies, and then the bartenders house, i didnt get home till about 8 am, so i wouldnt have been able to play anyway. ill probably kick later at javas though if you want to jump in for fun. I think im going to get a pair of the nike vapors, i really liked them and the structural integrity of the shoe wasnt comprimised by the modifications, which is fucking my asics up.

i forgot to mention before that my first ripwalk>ripwalk was sealed with a mouth catch, totally unintentionally. i set it up off my left clipper and it went straight into my mouth, it was pretty funny.

holy god wow its been a minute and a half since ive updated this

well i dont even know what to say since the last time i posted

im playing in clima responses, they work.

i can hit better stuff now, my strings are longer, footbag is fun.

im staying in rochester for a while so footbag is plentiful.

im gonna start bringing a pad and paper to shred so that i dont forget the shit i hit.

i hit pixie same dyno like butter tonight. i dont know if its the first time i hit it, i dont think it is, but its a super stiley trick and i expect to use it often.

i also hit flip tapdown tonight.
