Such a friggin' long day of shred at Blue's Fest. Kicked with Jon a lot, Tim a lot, Reile for like a minute, and Zeke...too busy hackin'! Whatever, it's all good.

Davidson came late. I hit Scorpion's Tail BSOS while in a circle with him but he wasn't watching. Whatever, he gave Reid and I our fair share of props.

My favorite line of the day came from this drunk dude who was watching Davidson go off on a run: "Whooa, are you friends with Jesus?!"

Edit: What's this?! Reid has another vote?!! Arghhh!!! (fists flailing angrily towards the heavens)

LOL, did he serve in the wrong direction several times too

Wow, that shot is disturbing...especially since there was apparently no bag on my sole at the time.

Thanks for the pics shawn. Yes, another great day with great people.

my footbag highligths: zigzag, 5 toe set whirling xbody rakes in a row, and....

Always good to see everyone and I hope we can get together again when I get back.

take another look eric you can see the bag half way on the way to the ground. but i kind of think it makes the pic even better.

i didnt even realize you were atempting a goofy face so i laughed pretty hard when i uploaded it to full size.

everyone just assume that this duck is super styley and ends with a 3 add trick.

Not only does "Powerhouse" Reid have superhuman strength and shred stamina, he can willingly transport parts of his body briefly to another dimension so they do not to get in the way of his dex's, or in this case, ducks. It happens so fast that we cannot see it with the bare human eye. But thanks to today's advanced technology, we can all marvel at his superhuman abilities.

Thats right

Sesh with reid in deerfield today. Lets see...

Nothing big I guess. Torque bsos a couple times and also some reverse swirls on both sides. All pretty new stuff for me.

Then I broke Reid's longstanding consecutive kicks record at Moosejaw. Remember Reid, 1 courtesy year before any of us break it again. You had two years with your name up there, and now I want my name on that little sign for a while

Sessioned it with eric today. Just a short schooling session for the both of us. I worked spins reverse swirls and stepsets. Eric schooled reverse swirls spins and barflys.

This will be my last post for a while. I will be away for several months. Yesterday and hit some neck stalls to blind crossbody rakes. I was quite proud of myself. Even though I will not be posting, make no mistake, I will be schooling hard. I will be back stronger, faster, better than ever before. I will be in San Fransisco in mid aug. I hope to be able to get in touch with the people there and plan a session or two. Until then keep on kicking, FTB and CIC and the rest. [/i]

Au revoir! Have fun. See you when you get back.

Booo, Reid is leaving. Now the FTB has been reduced to me, the always-too-busy-to-kick Michael Matson, and of course...Scott Hollander

Well, that's life I suppose. Reid and I had a going away session today. Reid hit mullet for the first time which was really sweet. Then I decided to try and hit it for the first time also. After several close attempts on both sides I finally landed it. As Reid was about to give me a hand slap I said, "wait, now I'll hit it on the other side first try" and somehow I actually did

Anyways, by the end of the day Reid also hit mullet for the first time on both sides, and he hit blurry ps whirl for the first time...and oh yeah, Reid also landed spinning ducking whirling x-body rake on his first attempt

Good sesh. Good friend. Good evening spent at the Improvolympic. Good luck at camp. Good night!

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 10 Aug 2005 07:24

Well I'm back! Eric, Mike, Kevin and I had a session last night. kevins getting back into it since coming back from Germany. Matson still continues to impress me, and Eric is busting some insane stuff that I'll let him tell you about. My highlights. Three spinning paradox whirl in a row, toe barroque in the middle of a run, and some good runs from what i can remember. It's good to be back, just to leave again to cali in a week, and then to school, but I hope that in the short time I have back home I can get together with the CiC (hint hint nudge nudge gesture gesture).

Most likely Sunday. If you guys dont want to drive all the way over there and mess around looking for parking, maybe you can hook up with a couple people on the northside, drive to a CTA trainstation and take it to the shred spot. Let me know what ya think.
