Hahahahahaha Henry, that story made me laugh! But Henry, shame on you. For it was your left hand that you reached across with, i.e. your weak hand! (hopefully, otherwise I just made an ass out of myself)
You better school that flipside Mr. Griese :P Heal up, bro.

Hopefully back one day.

Wow popular blog i got here :P :lol:


Dave i dont care anymore if people read this, comment in it, or do anything with it. I just like to write in it.


Today i tried to play footbag at 9 AM. Bad idea. My legs were not up for that feat. like, since i hadnt done anything my knees just kind of gave out. So i went inside, did some wall sits with weights, iced, lunges. I will play later today. Morning is not good. And now that i dont have a working bike anymore i cant warm up my legs.

Update later...

Wow!

I started playing outside but then it started raining again. God damnit the last 7 days have been Rain Rain Rain sun Rain sun Rain. So i moved into my garage. WHen i was outside my knees were hurting, but i moved into the garage and my knees were fine :?. I think its the asphalt on the driveway, and we have that smooth concrete in the garage.
This session produced lots of good stuff. At first i was just doing long creative runs. I think i hit spin clip>drifter>merkon bsos. That was in like, a 10-15 contact run. After some more long runs and working on nothing in particular, i decided to work on rubberman again. all i can say is OH MY GOD I AM SO CLOSE. Wow. I got 5/6 the way through it about 10-20 times. I just have trouble with that last blur. damn you. Next time i shred i will work on that link. Flip legbeater>flip blur. If i can get that link down rubberman will be so easy. I mean, i breezed through the first 4 contacts almost every time. And then the 5th which is flip legbeater was also really easy, but then that last flip blur, which is not bad at all wont go.


I got it on video but when i went to watch it on the camera it said NO DATA. Even though its stored on there because it says i only have like 2 minutes left of memory. WTF. i will go check if it transfers to the computer. If it does i will post the video.



WOOT WOOT

I was on vacation with my family, and i see some people footbagging.

I walk up and start shredding. I started talking and they said it was Worlds!!! I was like, WTF!!!!!! Worlds and i didnt even know about it!?!?!


So i walk inside, (theres a footbag building) and i see a kid behind a couch. I ask who he is, he says Peter Irish. I was surprised, cause he looked about 15 :?

So i start shredding with him, he is amazing.

Then me and mini peter go farther into the building, adventuring through obstacles. We make it to another room, and my parents pull their signature move "Were leaving" and i say no, this is worlds damnit, im staying. So they leave. Me and Peter get into a room with Sunil and Kevin Regamey. Kevin was also in child form, but sunil was huge. We shredded, and sunil hit like, blurry ducking symp eggbeater.

We continued to shred, it was great.

my first and only footbag dream. From like, march.



Still waiting for mosher four panel.

Just had a revelation. Me and joe were talking, and i decided im not gonna try rubberman again until i know i can hit it. So when all my components for it are solid i will hit it. I missed the stall of the last move, blur yesterday.


I shredded today and i am so bad now. I wasted 3 sessions on rubberman attempts. Now i am so rusty it will take a couple days to get back my long runs and stuff. I had one run that is 20 seconds on video, will post once its done rendering. It takes an hour to render a fucking 20 second video. What the fuck. WE need a camcorder. The camera i have records in .ASF and converting it to an actual video file takes forever.

here are the highlights of the session i just had that was cut short because my knee hurts which was caused by too many attempts at rubberman :evil: :evil: :x :x :x :cry: :cry:


very very long runs because i have pixie sets now. I cut off as much wall as i could without cutting the eyelets.
smear>legbeater bsos

OVERALL:


very very long runs compared to with toe walls. I go more genuine now because i have 2.5 sets from my toes. Atomics bs, pixies bs, fairy one side. I was having lots of fun this session because i was just going with the flow with a new shred cd.



Tried matador for like 5 minutes cause it didnt use my bad knee, and got super super close. As requested by joe. WIll hit soon

had a shred when i shouldnt have. My knees gave out after an hour and 20 minutes :cry:


Was just shredding and solidifying some concepts.


zooming osis bsos
spinning clip>blur almost bs. Its weird, the one i couldnt get was with my right foot clipper. Damn you switching strong clippers.

just about every other run was reasonably long. like 10-20 contacts.



Cant remember anything else. :roll:

Gah fuck you knees. I rested yesterday and could not get myself to rest today. I went out and played and get this, i only did dexless! God it was so fun. I had lost my spinning technique due to not doing it for a week (i hate you rubberman, you ruined my knees and game) .

I regained my spinning. Schooled some ducking.


highlights

12+ dexless run. Probably more like 15-18
spin clip>spin clip>peeking osis bsos
spin clip x5 bs
spin clip>spin clip>duck clip repeat
duck clip x10


Found some foam interlocking pads in the garage. Gonna put those down on the cement next shred.


PS my knees feel good. Since i wasnt shuffling i just have a tad bit of soreness.

Hey Henry, Rest those knees up, man. Don't make them worse than they need to be. Take it from me, a months break now is better than a year. Think of the long term.

Good shred from you, however. You're doing really well by the looks of things.
How's the mod going on your lavers? I've been thinking about cutting the eyelets off my lavers, but want to be sure of it first. How did you adjust to it.
Comment in the BCS blog if you feel the need to.
