LEGBALL!!
TOFU was a fun time... The drive up was BRUTAL. I felt like I was going to pass out for the whole second half of it, despite red bulls, but once I got to Jared's house, i couldn't sleep! how's that for ya... I missed friday, Saturday was pretty low-key. Some cool moves were hit in competition (my favorites being barroquescrew, liquifier, spin pdx double pickup. and crossfire). I managed to hit a lowly whirlygig. Tom and I had an infinity race from the basketball hoop to a crack in the pavement about 40 yards away. I managed to win, despite a few restarts from dropping.
After a bit more hanging, we buzzed over the Seath's house, laboriously ordered pizza, and prepared joints. Mosher performed the head mod for me. he does almost all my mods for me, now that I think of it.
here is a picture of my head mod, along with Josiah's and Tom's. Willie did his when he came home from the tournament, which is kind of a shame. i wish he'd let me do it
anyway, picture...
Then, me and tom bought beer and came back for the pizza and joints. The Coach's friend, The Guru, was there, and we hung out for most of the night. For a while, he harassed me about an outstanding debt to the Coach's representative in Rochester, but then he shifted from harrassing to encouraging, and made me feel better about it. After a few solid sessions of assbag (seated footbag), I stumbled downstairs to watch some footbag.
Watching Jorden was a religious experience. seeing what he puts himself through to hit those amazing tricks that he hits made me feel better about not being a better player. Footbag is almost entirely fun and recreation for me, even when I'm trying my hardest. I almost never kill myself over it. Jorden is on a whole other level... He hit quantum motion, quantum grifter, tapping flurry, frantic dyno, high plains b2b, and Nemesis (within five tries, amidst a billion attempts at quantum grifter). It was incredible, all caught on film. I can't wait to watch. I hope he comes to appreciate the Ilja bag I gave him as his significantly upgraded GRASS prize.
Finally, we crashed, around 4 AM or so. The next day brought a pretty sweet session at some outdoor courts. Billy Hladik's dad bought us many drinks. I was definitely glad for them, it was so hot out. Then, the Digges's, Jorden, Tom, and I buzzed back over to kingston and hung out for the night. We were playing assbag in Tom's room, and I hit this delay and sealed it:
Top Shelf Outside
I was pretty proud of it, it was a suggestion from Jorden. Josiah hit xbd Top Shelf, that was pretty sweet. The next morning, we ate a huge breakfast and hit the road to drive back...
and here I am. I love tournaments with my friends, it's the best. I played with Colin the other day, and he hit his first combo (mirage> ss mirage) a few times, and I hope today he'll hit it on his other side, and maybe even B2B. That would be sweet. I used climas the other day, and I really like them, because I can play harder, longer in them. The new lacing mod is sweet. I'll have to show some of y'all at euros in a few days
i mowed my lawn this morning and i was dripping sweat afterwards. it was crazy. 
<--- this is big considering i couldnt do a flip osis until last week.
I just hope it helps me get better at footbag. I'd hate to think that I'd have to stop visiting the coach.
That's the best thing possible. Get some quality shoes (Paul can help with that, too) and some shorts and get out there, it's fun (assuming you haven't already).
