Just had a 1hour session. Schooled atomics a lot. My flip is back up to speed with my strong again. Woohoo. worked on drifter links also.

New stuff

Gyro clip>drifter bs
drifter>gyro clip bs

Legbeater>drifter>gyro mirage bs. Missed BSOS in both sealing runs cause i missed the last gyro mirage.

Atomic warrior (alpine legbeater)
alpine atomsmasher (unsealed)

Footed both of those on flip side.

Cant wait til i hit alpine atom bomb

I am gonna give my knees a rest tomorrow. They arent getting any worse, but i didnt let them recover from when they were hurt. So one or two days should make them 100% and then i wont have pains again.

Alpine warrior and alpine atomsmasher is damn good

I didn't hit only alpine atomsmasher

You should hit more drills because you hit most tricks BS so you must

hit drills

and...Props

Just had another session for 50 minutes. God i am loving footbag so much. I enjoyed myself a lot this session, despite heartburn and having to take TWO breaks to take poos. I hit some fun stuff. Cool stuff. And most importantly, new links.

legbeater>drifter>drifter bsos
tapdown>drifter bsos
spinning clip>drifter repeat + diving clip>drifter repeat in same run
Almost hit alpine witchdoctor
Footed alpha atomic drifter
Blurry refraction bsos

My style is coming together real well. I feel in control when i am playing. I felt like Davey Clavens when i hit tapdown>drifter bsos.

My goal for Midwest championships is to show everyone how far i have progressed. ANd for those who have never heard of me, i want them to remember my name. I dont care if its because im good at footbag or if its because i am so small. Either way is good. I am just really really really excited to play at a tourney.

I am having at least two sessions a day

. I feel really really good. God i love footbag.

just was shredding. Had to stop cause my knee isnt fully healed yet.

I was shredding, and my brother and his 3 friend roll up in a car. I was about 5 contacts into a run. I just kept going. They all stopped and watched. I hit about a 30 contact run! In the middle of it i hit ducking pdx mirage>DATW!!! I never hit DATW. They were all like WHOA THAT WAS INSANE!

One of them walked up afterwards and goes "Man i gotta give you props. I was just in awe from right when i stepped out of the car. Insane! "

Gonna hit my first 6 add in these next few days.

"I am gonna hit it this time." Then i hit it. Right then and there. it was SWEET! My first 6 add!

What do I tell you every time?

You should always say, "I'm gonna hit this", because then you always do.

When will you start listening.

HG · Post by HG » 19 Jul 2005 11:58

about a 40 minute session. By the end my knees were gonna give out (from all the stress my sick 1 gives me

)

)

Heres some stuff i hit

Well i forgot to post about this yesterday. But while i was playing i tried a janiwalker. It was my first try at even a barrage. I just missed the stall.. i think the second dex was either thin or the. But i was surprised that i could do the motion for barrage BOTH sides after never even trying, and not having a strong stepping set.

Another thing that i tried while playing was alpha predator. I was really close. I only tried like 4 times. But it seems like it would be pretty easy for me. Tomorrow if my knees feel like it, i am gonna shred so hard. Like 3 or 4 hours. All on stepping/string length. I really wanna have a good schooling session. I love following D Clav's advice. Dont stop til you are satisfied with your session.

Today i went to the mall with my family and started shredding. After about 10 minutes of warming up i went into this long ass string. Like 30 contacts guiltless. This old guy comes up "Wow. That is the best i have ever seen!" and he shakes my hand. he was really impressed.

Then later i was in another long run and this real tall guy comes and watches. He was all like "Yo props! That was tight!" It was funny.

Then mall security comes and kicks me out. He was cool about it though. heres how it went down. "Hey i am gonna have to ask you to stop playing. You may hurt someone. What you're doing is really cool, but you are a liability. "

Overall a good day of "rest"

rock on hen.

awsome reading.

keep up the training.

HG · Post by HG » 21 Jul 2005 17:52

WA WA WA WA?!?!? I am not resting you say? You would be correct! I really dont know whats good for me, cause i always say im gonna give my knees a rest. But guess what? i dont! Hahaha! Whooooooooooooooo. Well i shredded from like, 4:40 to 6:50.

2 hour 10 minute session. I hit a lot of new stuff.

I remasted my stepping and hit this stuff:

ripwalk>drifter>infinity>repeat
ripwalk>ducking clip>ducking clip repeat
Ripwalk>ripwalk>ducking clip repeat

Yeah it was pretty good. And i got halfway through rubberman both sides. My blurs are becoming easier. i think that if i try rubberman early in my sessions i will hit it real real soon.

After stepping for about an hour. With a bunch of other shuffle thrown in i decided to learn peeking. I mainly worked on peeking osis. Scratch that, i ONLY worked on peeking osis. I hit it first try on "strong" but it took me a couple tries for flip. So i did flip until i felt more comfortable. And then my flip was better than strong

. I decided to do some drills with it AFTER i hit it BSOS!!!!

Peeking osis>osis>repeat
ducking clip>peeking osis>repeat

overall a GREAT session. not a lot of highlights but i was hitting great long runs.

Oh i forgot something!

While shredding this kid/guy walks up. He lives right up the street. he stops and watches and says "Hey man. I just wanna tell you that what you are doing is mind boggling. Its amazing! Me and my friends will watch you every once and a while if we are outside and we just sit in awe on my porch. We have been hacking for years and i cant do any of that!"

So i educated him, told him that if you try hard enough, you can do what i do. I told him i have only been playing for a year and he was amazed! I think he is around 18-20 years old. I also got props from a group of old ladies that walked by. They were like "You should go to a tournament or something!" Haha. They probably dont even realise that i AM!

MIDWESTERNS!

Just went out to play. man my knees can not take too much laver footbag. I really hope they adjust soon. I played for an hour, then another 20 minutes in the rain. I was SO CLOSE to rubberman!

I went out and really warmed up well. Kicked for about a minute and a half, then went to toe stalls. Did those for a long while. Then moved to tiltless, then BOP. Then i worked on legbeater>stepping mirage repeat. I missed the last stepping mirage a couple times. But i did hit this combo bsos.

After that i worked on rubberman again. My flip atomics were off today. Probably cause i rested yesterday and my good shred shorts are in the washer. I was using these shorts where they were really wide. So they would be flying around and hit the bag a lot. I got 4/6 of the way through rubberman. Dropped on legbeater. I did that a lot. It feels so cool when you are going well with rubberman. its like my legs just keep moving and they will never stop.

OTher than that i didnt get much done. But i was satisfied with the session. So i was able to stop myself.

I had a really really long run with only like, 4 or 5 bops in it. it was sweet. I just randomly through in some links i barely hit. here are some links that were in ONE run

legbeater>blur
tapdown>stepping mirage
ducking clip>blur
spinning butter>ripwalk

Well i just went into my garage to shred. Ah what an intense session. I had just burned a fresh new Cd. Man i love the music on it. So shred ish. I worked mainly on schooling atomics and stepping. But i got a little pixie action in there also

I played for 2 hours! Pain free!

I dont know what happened. Like. i did 2 minutes of wall sits with 10 lb of weights, and now my knees feel great! I stretched before and after, and no pain! This is the first time since switching back to lavers that i stopped sessioning because my MUSCLES were tired! Woot woot.

heres NEW stuff that was hit. I hit a bunch of other shit that has already been listed in past posts.

dimwalk>blur repeat! My stepping is getting really really good.

legbeater>stepping mirage repeat! This one take me a really realy long time. But it was so worth it.

PS. My posts that say MOD EDIT:That kind of language is unnecessary... They arent edited at all. I was bored and decided to post that statement in red in some threads

Now erik chan thinks i am a foul mouthed child

Lets get a vote. Should i edit them to something meaningful, or should i keep them the way they are?

MOD EDIT: That kind of language is unnecessary.

I will see you soon, Henry. Midwesterns. Should be fun. I still don't know what day you should come. Since James (Risden) may be coming only for one day also, I'd say you should come the same day (Saturday?) as him.

HG · Post by HG » 24 Jul 2005 18:38

I would LOVE to play with risden. But my dad works saturdays, and im not sure if my mom would be up for the trek. maybe get my dad to take off.

Ride your bike Henry!

HG · Post by HG » 24 Jul 2005 19:06

LOL!

heres a good story.

Me Kevin and Chris went up to Kevin's Granny's lake cabin today. We had a great day. Used the pedal boat almost got stranded in the middle. Took like 3 hours to pedal back. Then we played on this huge tube.

While riding my bike back home, i was holding my suit and towel in my right hand, my shifting hand. I needed to shift into a higher gear, so im riding no handed, and reach across with my left hand to shift, and completely crash my bike. My legs got tangled in. i was so scared that i hurt my legs, but they are fine. I have this huge ass scrape/crater in my elbow.

Long story short:

I have to HOLD THE BRAKES DOWN to make the bike roll. And i have to let go of the brake to actually brake.

I have to steer to the right to make it go straight.

Bike is broken.
