That Josiah Digges kid...hes weird.

Post by Jdigges »

Hey guys! i finally made a Footblog!

I just buzzed my head like 30 minutes ago 8O and i love it so much! I've been thinking about doing it for the past 2 years because i kept growing it out down to my shoulders. Tom Mosher gave me the final push when i saw him buzz his on video. Thanks tom :D

Well heres the scoop, i hurt my right ankle 9 days ago doing a barfly. So i really haven't been up to much shred. Just a bit here and there. I started hitting flails on my flipside though :-d because it requires almost no movment on my right ankle. I've been resting it the best i can so it will be good to shred with in time for TOFU. seems like i will play at my normal level...we'll i hope anyways.

Well Feel free to post back here to see whats up with me. I'll just be here chillen out. you know 8)

so yea, just got home from work 8)

I was ripping and installing windows all day. It feels awesome getting out and doing some labor. Usually i work in a restaurant, i've been working there for a year or so now. I do carpentry and stuff with my dad during the summer for some extra cash. Im saving up to buy a Video camera!!! :o

My mom gave me a best buy certificate for graduation, and my bro and dad gave me money...well actually, my dad just canceled my debts to him...which were alot haha. But im trying to come up with the rest of the money for my Camera. Then i can start taping and making movies like crazy! im so stoked. Just as stoked as i am for TOFU!!!! :twisted:

I hope to have my camera in two weeks.

hmmm...i think i can hit that first drill, i've never tried it. I've tried Whirr a bunch of times and come close. i dunno how it will feel on my right ankle though :( kinda jerky.

That third drill will be hard seeing as how my flip pixies suck haha. i need to work on them hardcore.

I can't wait to shred with you at TOFU man, i've been hearing good things.

I hurt my back today :cry: really bad...it was already sore from moving and ripping windows all day yesterday. and today i was moving this huge piece of replacement glass for a window. and the stupid lady asks us to turn it around, after she watches us struggle taking it out of the truck and moving it. It was sooooo heavy. And when i picked it up a muscle in my back tore under my right shoulder balde :cry: ...last time i hurt my back like this it hurt for atleast 3 weeks, and it feels just as bad. I really hope i can shred this weekend :cry: :cry: :cry:

thats really strange and coincidental because ive been nursing a back injury since my senior year of high school (3 years ago) from a car accident, and i reinjured it twice today, i had to leave work at 11 am (i start at 6) which is 3 hours early. i wont be going tomorrow either because ill be at the doctor, and then its TOFU. ill be able to play since it only affects my bending over, and not my playing.

i really hope you are good to go at tofu though!!!

im sending you my healing powers via snail mail, expect them within the next week or so.

much love to my injured brothers! I went to the first two tournaments of the year this year with mono, so I know how you feel about being concerned about not being able to play to your full potential... I will bring tiger balm for sore backs and calves...

Yesterdays session rocked! i was sick of being injured and just went out there and shredded my heart out. Willie, pat and i had close to a 5 hour session, although pat left after 2.5 hours for a baseball game. We all hit some crazy stuff.

here are some sick things i hit.

Ripped warrior - for the second time
gyro illusion
spinning clipper > spinning osis > PS whirl
Flip Paradon > PS whirl
drifter > osis > pdx whirl rpt.
I dropped the last drifter on drifter > osis > drifter rpt.


There was a bunch of other stuff but it doesn't come to mind now. anyways. It was a sick sess, and my ankle was feeling sooooo good. I guess it just needed those couple extra days that i didn't play at TOFU to heal.

i had a nice little 3 hour session today. I was hitting alot of different combos which was alot of fun. There were alot of runs where every trick i hit was a new combo. I felt my like my style was completley different the it normally is.

I was working on my DLO's today and my drifters as well. I hit DLO > paradon BSOS
spinning clipper > spinning butterfly > spinning osis
My PS whirls were really clean too. hit it from some cool tricks and shreds.


Thats all that comes to mind now...although there was some other things i was going to put on...

Oh yea! i hit Fog too. thats a fun trick and i cleaned up my atomics and just missed
Atomic Symposium whirl...its rolled off my foot a few times

josiah, SICK combos, man... I especially like the drifter > osis > pdx whirl rpt combo and the dlo> paradon bsos combo, that's phat. I definitely couldn't do that second one (right this second, i could if I tried ;) ). Glad to hear you're healing up. You and willie and pat will ahve to come visit the zoo in august when i'm back from europe. thanks for coming to TOFU and staying awake with me.
