Yeah i would love to rest for a month. BUt my summer vacation is over in a month. And if i can get those foam pads that we have onto the back driveway where i play, no more pain

THe mod i did is the best.

The walls are still 'there' but they dont get in the way. I only cut off as much as i could WITHOUT cutting the eyelets! I recommend doing this instead of cutting the eyelets off. It helps with spinning toe stuff/rakes but you can still pixie/fairy!

MY dad just bought a JVC GRD250 camcorder. It is so sweet.

When the battery is charged im gonna have a taped session on my shred mat.

^^^^ the sentence i have dreamt of saying for a year.

Ok what the hell. Just had a session and i filmed it. It wasnt THAT bad, but i still need to learn how to play with the camera. Like, i was so nervous and i couldnt hit long strings like normal.

But heres the best part. We bought the camera, it is really really awesome, but when i come in to start to edit the video, i find out that it didnt come with a cable. It didnt come with a fucking cable. People dont buy these things to edit on their VCR anymore! I need to get a firewire cable tomorrow. My computer has firewire thankfully, but this just really pisses me off. And the camera doesnt even have a USB transfer port! WTF!

You don't have a radio shack, walmart, best buy, circuit city, or target where you live? You can get them there.

We have a radio shack and wal mart. They didnt have the right cable. We need a 4-4 pin cable with Male at both ends

Just had a SWEET session with the camera. Hit some stuff. i am finally comfortable playing with it.

If my dad picked up the right cable i will have a video up tomorrow

Its weird, we got a firewire cable, but we need the cable to have 2 of the same ends, or a 4 pin to 6 pin. Either one would work.

Highlights:
17 ducking clips
duck clip>ripwalk bsos
assassin>run
osis>zulu clip (hard link)
gyro clip>osis>osis>gyro clip
smear>atomsmasher>run
drifter>merkon>run
smear>atomic refraction
far refraction>infinity repeat
spinning osis bsos
spinning butter bsos

My knees are still pretty weak, and thats why i am not stepping or atomic(ing) much. The video will be Chan-esque, in that i can do much more stuff than the video shows.

Cool, Henry. I look forward to seeing some footage of you.

Regarding the camera: You will find you'll become more and more comforbable with it, the more you play in front of it.

Thanks Gareth.

Fuck. We got a cable today. I was so excited. It didnt work. I need to get another adapter for another $10. WHy cant they just include the cable i need WITH THE CAMERA. WOuld have saved me 2 days time and lots of frustration

Just had a 1 and a half hour session! All i did was school torques. I have never even practiced them, and i have never even hit a flip torque

That all changed today.

NEW LINKS!

infinity>torque bs
dimwalk>torque bs
diving clip>torque bs
ducking clip>torque bs
ducking butter>torque bs
spinning clip>torque bs
osis>torque bs
torque bsos

OH wow. So many slipped my memory. I probably had like 10 more new links but i forgot them. Damnit.

My old "flip" torque is now pretty good, and BETTER then my other torque. Next session i will school hitting stuff OUT OF torque. I always hand caught after these links. I cant wait til i can throw it into runs like nothing.

After a few more torque sessions i will work on whirls.

Nice work on the torques Henry.

I am so fucking angry right now.

The whole problem with my camera wasnt with the cables at all. They all plugged in fine, but then i open up my computer to find this....

The firewire port in the back leads to NOTHING! I open it up and there is no card there. Just an empty port. FUCK YOU V2Premier. Fuck this.

Now we have to get a firewire card, which the people we bought the computer from said it had IN THE FIRST PLACE 2 YEARS AGO! GAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we probably wont get it for another week and every single problem that could ever happen is happening why cant i just get a fucking break fuck you. God damnit i hate this.

I need to shred to get happy.

I so miss doing drills like that, nice work.

I hate you people with your both-sided healthy ankles. You make me sick.

Petuwey! I spit at your feet.
