31st of July, 2005

Today was my brothers 18th Birthday. We went out for Chinese tonight. I still don't know what to get him. Any suggestions?

Anyways I had a pretty poor session today. My flip stepping was terrible. Usually my strong and flip ripwalks look the same but today it was awful. I was schooling flip stepping op legover and ripwalk I was like tripping and stuff. It was as if my legs forgot the movement.

Besides that i schooled a bit of osis and tried some guiltless runs. My highest today was like 12. I need to work on my runs a lot more instead of doodling around with tiltless stuff.
I was trying infinities but I was just having a bad day. My highest today was about 4. A few sessions ago i got 21.

Session went for about 30-40 minutes.

I forgot to mention that I worked 7.75 hours last night in a Pizza Shop. I knocked off at 1.45am.

Peace.

3rd of August, 20005

I stayed home from school today because im sick. Heaps of people are sick at my school.
I spent the day watching footbag videos and I also watched Dr Phil on tv which is more boring than Ricky Lake and Oprah put together.

Tonight I had a shred. It started off in the kitchen with my pyjamas on then i stripped off into my boxers than i got into shred gear and went outside.

I tried hitting some dod moves but that didnt really work out. I havent done them in so long and it was just to hard. But I did hit some double switches and double around the worlds both sides in some runs.

I hit Pdx Whirl midstring a couple of times, but only on one side :(
But I did hit:
Ripwalk > Pdx Whirl bs
Both sealed with hand catches

I got frustrated with legbeater. I hit it both sides then i didnt try it again after that.

I really wanted to hit a triple dex move with shoes on but my legs are not fast enough. I have footed some like: blurriest, pixie paradon, janiwalker and i have come close to tatw barefoot. I have hit smog barefoot though. And i also hit sailing ss mirage with shoes but it was the.

Today and tomorrow will be the only time I will get to shred for a while. Life is pretty busy at the moment. I hate it when it's busy. So much things to do.

Anyways I'm going to have a shower.

Peace.

Hey Robin. I'm sick too, and that's keeping me from playing tonight. :cry:

Never mind, you hit some cool stuff there, though. You going to Aust Champs next year?

Today I had a great shred. It started off pretty badly but then it turned out good.

I created my own Challenge thread and Jesse gave me some challenges.
I hit 3 of them.

steppingopplegover>plo>pixie clipper RPT
pdx whirl mid run
blur>ducking clipper rpt

I got the 2 rpt challenges on camera. Jesse also challenged me to hit Ripwalk > Blur > Parkwalk rpt. I got up to the pixie on the last parkwalk then i dropped :(
I think these challenges are going to help improve my game and motivate me to do some more shred.

Shred on.

I dont think i'll be able to make it to Nationals Jesse. :/

Today I went to Havery Norman which is an electrical goods shop. I was planning to buy a Panasonic camera (can't remember the model off by heart) but then they said they didnt order any in and the sale for the model is over. I was like :/
I was pretty upset but then he offered me the JVC GR-D290 with 5 mini dv's, tripod and bag for $799 AUD. I said that sounds good and I put a $200 deposit on it.
It should be in by Tuesday. I'm pretty excited.

Just thought i'd tell everyone.

I guess im focusing a little more on school and football. Weather has been bad so I can't really play outside and there is shit all space inside. On Saturday its the Preliminary final. If we lose we're out and if we win we go through to the grandfinal. There is gonna be quite a big crowed. I hope i play okay.

At the moment im playing once or twice a week.

I got my camera today. It looks cool. I havent used it yet because I dont know how to put the tape in :oops: :(

Edit: I figured out how to put the tape in. The camera just had to be turned on at the time. Then the little thingy pops out and yeah.

I am so pissed off right now. I havent been able to shred in weeks due to study. But when i finally have the chance it rains. It has rained 3 days in a row on days where i have no homework. When am i going to be able to test out my new cam?
And to make things even worse my keyboard and mouse arent working properly.

I went eight hours without a piss today.

Bad post. My bad.

Lol I didnt want to get wet by walking across my backyard and the under cover shred spot across the road is like 150 metres away. And to get to that i would have to leap over a hugggggggeeeeee puddle which i would probably land in the middle of and drown.
But anyways I had a small barefoot shred in my lounge room on camera.
I hit:
Flip DLO
Magellan > Smear > Pixie Legover rpt

And I footed Phoenix at school with a coin. Dropped the handcatch :(

Anyways I also just had the best guitar session. My speed and accuracy were great tonight because I got warmed up very well.

It's good to hear you're working on your homework more - get those grades up.

Have you thrown down the "If I get my grades up, can I go to Aust Champs?" challange to your folks yet?
