Sounds good to me, I'll see what everyone else is up to. Today eric and myself had an early morning session (2:30 pm- that's early for us). Highlights eric hit three ps whirls in a row, and Eric and I both hit a new seven add move, each different and I'll leave it at that. I leave it up to Eric to tell everybody what they were if he so chooses.

¿What happened to Will Rockey? Anyway I expect everyone of the FtB to post here at their respective schools and places.

Down to buisness: This past wednesday I had a wonderful time with Emily, Amelia, Nate and Jeremy. Great people, great shredders. They have all inspired me to try some new combos, and strings. Thanks and good luck everyone.

WTF are you guys talking about??

Anyways I'm moved in here at U of I but haven't kicked in about a week cuz I've been so busy. Though I find myself daydreaming about combos all the time. Maybe I can convince Kevin to have a session with me sometime soon.

Anyways it's 5am and I'm starting to sober up after a long night so I think I oughtta hop into bed. I'll post again once I find the time to kick. Later.

yo Eric lay off the booze like you lay off the twos, and footbag!

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 22 Aug 2005 12:22

Riiight Reid. Just kicked for the first time in forever yesterday. Nothing was working. Plus I had to use my shitty sandbag because all my other bags have holes in them and Reid stole my tearmender!

I also have your fo shizza tape. Anyway today Mike and I had a session at port clinton. I felt shinsplints coming on so it was primarily a spinning and rake day for me, but Matson had some highlights. He re-established his toe blur hitting it midstring effortlessly, and he discovered that he can indeed spin, at least on his good side. We impressed all. Mailmen stopped and applauded, little kids threw rocks at us to see if we could keep them up, and an old lady waited till matson was done with his run to pass because she was afraid if she walked by matson would be distracted and kick himself. He did anyways.

Today I had a nigth session with Mike, and a Barefoot Will rockey. Yes he is back from living in the moutains and eating wild onions. I had some good runs, and one of the highlights was nine toe whirling rakes in a row.

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 25 Aug 2005 11:30

So William has finally returned! I can't wait to see what crazy shit he can bust out now at "lower elevations." Will you'd best come visit Kevin and I sometime this fall with Scott or something. 'Cause Kevin and I are seriously considering making it up to Madison for Halloween.

Anyscrew I kicked with Kevin the other day on the quad with a sandbag. He had a couple really long runs despite the fact that his Lavers haven't arrived yet. He hit symposium mirage for the first time on both sides and also hit pixie opp clipper midstring.

After spending about 10 or 15 minutes trying to hit fog on my flipside I finally nailed it, and then in the same string landed it on my strong side as well. It felt good. Again.

Im up for it

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 26 Aug 2005 11:38

Hey good call Henry. If Kevin and I make it up to Madison for Halloween you gotta come kick with us. Or if Will decides to visit Champaign this fall then maybe you could hitch a ride with him.

Reid don't kill yourself. And by the way, how is the transfer process going, hmmm??

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 26 Aug 2005 12:29

Nice to see ya'll posting again.

I still don't believe in this Matson fellow. He is imaginary.

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 26 Aug 2005 16:43

Haha, no Tom he's real. And he's actually really good. He can hit flux like nothing. I can't believe he still hasn't kicked with you or the CIC. Maybe over thanksgiving break.

Anyways, I had a session today on the quad with Andy, Phil, and Kevin. Yes! That makes 4 players with Lavers, the most I've seen yet at U of I. Phil hasn't really kicked at all over the summer, but still land a few nice 4-add moves. He hit blur, ripwalk, and ps mirage, and I forgot how fluid his style was. He has a lot of potential. I'm out.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 26 Aug 2005 20:35

I had a session with Will. I had a run with four tomahowks in it. 2 on each side. And scorpion tail both sides first attempt on each, not bsos, just both sides.

Will is good. For not having played in a month his pixies are still spectacular and his drifters, and his control.

Yeah I should really visit U of I sometime. What weekend would be best? How's your frat going? I think you should definitely experience Halloween in Madison, it is unlike anything else.

It's good to be back in Hightown for a week. My summer was fantastic and despite not having time for footbag the last month I'm only a little rusty right now at worst. Reid has gotten ridiculously good and I think he should drop all clippers from his game and replace them with rakes. I will be undoubtedly playing hard and often in Madison, so I'll always be up for a session Henry whenever you can make it.

Long live footbag and the FTB!
