Oh man. I have been resting my knee the last couple days. And i decided to play on it today. BAD IDEA

I started off wearing a brace, it helped but i couldnt get my clipper very flat.

I took it off and hit some sweet stuff!

Diving clipper>ducking clipper>diving clipper>ducking clipper>spinning clipper>gyro clip>spin clip>gyro clip>run! It was about 17 contacts guiltless. It may have been unique also, but i doubt it.

DIving clip>gyro clip>diving clip>gyro clip

Smear>dimwalk>pdx mirage repeat

PLO>smear>PLO>smear>run

10 contact dexless string. Now i need to do it unique!

Check out my video in the videos section.

PS

Both my knees hurt now

Just had an awesome session with my new shred partner Chris.

My knees are KILLING me so i was doing all ducking/spinning/osis stuff. It was pretty fun!

I hit:

Diving clip>ducking clip>repeat>spinning clip>ducking clip repeat. It is such an easy combo for me, I want that but iwth gyro instead of ducking on the last part. I have hit it, but its not very easy.

Diving clip x7 on strong side Record!
Diving clip x4 on weak. My record!
Ducking butterfly bsos easily.
Fairy ss swirl.

Chris hit:

Mirage bs
Footed mirage bsos
Symp mirage
Butterfly
Osis
and his first double dex.

SMEAR!

This is the first time chris has played seriously. He uses running shoes. I have played with him before, but we just kicked and he did some toe stalls. Today he seemed really motivated to hit tricks. I gave him a Mr. Sandman a couple months ago, maybe he'll put it to good use now!

When i met Evan Gatesman in Las Vegas, he reminded me of Chris. Just the way he looked. Now they resemble each other in yet another way. THey are just pure talent! Wow. This summer is gonna kick ass!

Challenge for you: zulu swirl.

In Japanese, "hen" means "strange".

I`m gonna call you "strange dog" from now on, if thats cool with you.

HG · Post by HG » 14 Jun 2005 04:00

hehe. Yeah thats fine. I am so excited to get chris REALLY into it!

HG · Post by HG » 14 Jun 2005 16:46

Played 5 rounds of frolf today. It is a 9 hole course, so i played 45 holes!

The last two games i played with Chris Smith. The same kid who just started freestyle ^^^^^^

We both did badly first round. We picked it up 2nd round. I ended with +9 and he had +8

I had some really sweet approach shots. I cant get any distance on my drives so i just usually bogey every hole, since it takes me an extra shot to get near it. I am usually pretty acurate, i just need to learn a better way to get distance

Hi Henry. props on your new records. pdx dlo is awesome

HG · Post by HG » 20 Jun 2005 11:40

Just had a really productive session. I am trying to get my consistency up. So i started off with infinities and BOP drills.

I hit

50 INFINITIES! MY RECORD! Byrin told me to beat his record of 47, and i did first try. This was my absolute first try of the day. Wow it was so tiring.

14 osises. My record is 21, but i havent worked on them lately.
13 contacts of ripwalk>infinity>infinity repeat
Legbeater>whirl bsos [new link]

Great session.

Hey Henry, I liked your remix at the top, sorry I didn't comment earlier, but I'm slow.

Also 50 is INSANE!!! Props on that. I'm gonna make that a goal for the end of summer. Thanks for the inspiration, keep kicking.

I look forward to catching up on your blog in September.

Dude, 50 butterflys is insane! About 10 more than my record.

PROPS!

Just got my report card. I got a GPA of 4.0!

I barely did any homework and had a really really hard schedule also.

The exam i thought i did horribly on i got an A on! Wow.

My first year of high school is over, and i think i did well.

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 21 Jun 2005 07:26

Good job on the grades. Keep it up, it only gets harder and (sorry to say) more depressing (and more complicated!). But more fun too, I suppose. Then you get OUT of high school and you have more freedom, which is sweet.

Later!

Wow.

I played in Madison today from 2 PM to 6 PM. Me and ted played for a long time. He is SOOOO good. He hit rubberman 2 like cake. And hit rubberman and rubberman 2 in the same run!

I was all guiltless until i got tired around 5 PM.

It was really cool. I had a couple really long runs with stepping/pixie/spinning/ducking/atomic. Its so fun to play with people!

Later Ogden came. I didnt even know he existed! He was playing in sandals and had really really solid basics. He could hit ducking clippers and drifters, and whirls and some other cool stuff.

Steve also came. He hit far pickup both sides.
Pdx mirage both sides.

Really really fun time. Write up about what me and ted hit coming later when im not so exhausted.

We had some pretty huge stuff!
