ATTENTION: I have officially destroyed my knees and will be out for probably 2-3 months, maybe more

I came up with a great rehabilitation program though. take it easy for week one. Build quad, hip, and knee strength with the remaining weeks. Lap Swim daily. Throw in consecutive kicks and toe stalls after a few weeks. build up to tiltless. build up to guiltless. build up to 4s, 5s, and 6s.
finally got my mosher bag today. I can break it in when I move up to consecutive kicks through the rehabilitation program.
Just got back from Northwest fest. Here is a very rough and incomplete synopsis
Day 1
left missoula at 7 in the morning. we missed the majority of our turnoffs and did lots of backtracking. After a couple hours in the non air conditioned car we reached the columbia river and took a dip. there were tons of cuteys and kite surfers around. I'd never seen kite surfing in real life. It was sweet. we closed in on portland and drove aroumd the base of what I believe to be mt hood. just outside of portland we went to a disc golf course in *forgot the name* we finished up and finally made it to the site where I immediately saw lon smith finishing up a torque run with pdx torque b2b>ducking pdx torque b2b

said howdy to sunny, daryl, jim, and sam potter and chilled for a bit chatting and watching. We then snagged up some food from down the street and headed to reds. We stayed up chatting b4 i got ridiculously tired and passed out in the corner.
Day 2
woke up and jere, evan, brad nelson and I headed to the saturday market. Brad was one of my favorite people to hang with this weekend. We cruised through the stands and I ate some excellent beef and rice. there was a busker playing drums, harmonica, and accordian at the same time! he used to kick at the beaver open and later that day appeared at the site. we went to the site and I started kicking with nick landles. he has gotten sooooo smooth since last I saw him. My knees were hurting so I played like shit and sat on the side most of the time. Sam Potter has awesome style (not to mention the smallest windows of all time). I kicked with Noah quite a bit. He was another guy that was really cool and fun to kick with. Matt Emmings was definitely my favorite person to kick with. He's a pretty funny guy with super styley play. that night we went to noahs. it was a joint players party / 21st b-day for one of noahs roomates. jere, jorden moir, and I wend to a mexican/bbq place. They opened the doors specially for us. It was their grand opening too. I got to know jorden pretty well that dinner. He's a cool and modest kid with potential in more areas than just footbag. we moseyed back to noahs and I chilled with ryan thomas for quite some time. We made fun of this girl that would ask one person 15 questions and then move to the next person and rpt the questions. We were all victimized by her interviews. Brad Nelson got interviewed and we just laughed at him the whole time. "you think you're getting some brad, but you're WRONG!" I got pretty trashed and fell asleep in the basement.
Nick Landles got wasted and passed out in the driveway in his vomit!
day 3
My knees hurt like hell and so I sat on the sides watching for most of the 3rd day. brad nelson, jere, and I had a hack circle. then later brad nelson, jorden moir, and I had a circle with just outside kicks. It was pretty sweet. There was some sick shred thrown down this day. Towards the evening the missoula crew went to a disc golf course in pier park. This was by far the coolest folf course I had ever been to. My knees were sore and so I just watched and didn't play. Afterwards we went to Noahs and passed out.
day 4
the long drive home. We hit up the McIver disc golf course on our way out of portland. There are some super long pars and technicality on this
27 HOLE BEAST! the drive wasn't too bad. I bought a pint of blackberries and an ice cream shake on the way home. we made it back to missoula at a litle after midnight.
