I totally shred it up by Ogg hall this afternoon and it was interesting cause for the first long while the only person out of a couple hundred college kids was an 8 year old kid (no clue why he was there?) But later i actually got some compliments including:
"I've seen hackysack, but holy shit"
and
"i like what you do there"
I hit some pretty good guiltless run and some tiltless in the teens. I also worked on Parkwalk, and hit it once or twice. I also hit Whirl BSOS so HUZZAH! I also worked on diving osis which is extremely fun to hit. I'll try to think of a ROTD but it might be a stretch cause i have a terrible memory.
ROTD: Parkwalk> Pdx Mirage > Butterfly > Ducking Osis > Catch (in hand)
(Personally i'm amazed i ended it by catching it)
I haven't written in awhile but the last two sessions have shown some solid progress in my stepping set. other than that is just been working on guiltless runs with tiltless interjected in there. Two nights ago i just was hanging out with my roommate and yesterday he went home in hopes of "banging his girlfriend"....what a romantic. So last night i went to some music fest with shea...unfortunately shea gets annoying so when he found someone he knew i bailed and was hanging out with some people from cole. Made a helluva lot of friends and we went partying..but ended up doing more walking than partying. Oh well...i don't have an ROTD cause i haven't written anything down...i've been working on my sets and two contact pieces of runs.
ahhh sorry for the deley zach just i felt really sick afterwards. So i went out and met Henry, Ogden, and Rocky, and i hafta say...they thoroughly rocked my world. We were around a rather large crowd of people who were attending some thing for groups at madison so it was pretty cool. For the first half hour to an hour i kind of sucked and just did some lame 2 trick combos and just kind of watched the others cause i feel like i learn alot by watching also i wasn't doing that hot but onward. So it was a decent sesh and alot fun to meet some other shredders. Ogden left after about an hour and a half and rocky left half an hour or 45 minutes later after we grabbed a bunch of free freezepops from the one of the many christian groups offering a way into heaven or what not. Then Henry and I just shredded for another hour. I can hardly recall alot of the tricks from the session cause it was like Bam Kapow Bam Bam Bang. I can recall that i hit some good tiltless runs and threw in some pretty cool stuff in there. Henry also took the time to show me some good drills like same side btrfly>op side btrfly repeat and another one which i can't recall at the moment. I also did something really f***ing stupid. I tried some crap off the steps and i hit a horrible landing and messed up my foot. I still managed to kick for half an hour so i guess i'm bitching about nothing. Anyway a ton of fun, and looking forward to wed.
I finally hit up the challenge board and knocked off some of those. At first glance...zach's challenges were...umm lets say out of range especially the assassain bsos cause i've never even hit assassain. But i did hit his PLO challenge. I had about 4 runs where i hit 5 PLO's back and forth and i finally hit six cause i thought that was the challenge so i was pumped. I also hit 6 ducking clippers back and forth and i have really improved with henry's ss butterfly> butterfly repeat drill. I think my best for that drill was 8 contacts or so which is higher than my infinity record. Then i tried for zach's guiltless challenge and found that 10 unique contacts with only 1 b 1p and 1o is gonna be a little while. I did hit an 11 contact run that was close except for the butterflies, but i'll post it as my ROTD anyway. Oh and i also hit ducking clipper>whirl which opens up some possibilities.
ROTD: eggbeater> butterfly > ss butterfly > pdx mirage > PLO > Butterfly > Ducking Clipper > Osis > Far Legover > ss butterfly > ( crusty osis?)
Anyway....i was happy. It was really hot today and i'm really mad cause i don't get to kick with ogden and rockey cause i have a poli sci class but hopefully we can organize another time soon. I got so close to my stepping set and actually i think i've got it on my strong side. It won't be long now...ripwalk here i come!
Actually i did get to kick with them cause my class let out early but i kicked like shit anyway.

just a few words describe today's "night session"....
ONE
OF
THE
BEST
EVER
I started slow but that dropped off after 5 minutes. I was hitting long guiltless runs with anywhere from 6-8 contacts. I then proceeded to hit a 22 contact run with guiltless and tiltless thrown in there. I also beat my previous infinity record by hitting 11. Realizing that butterflys where a good bailing move i also remembered that pickups were too. So i drilled pickups to the point where i hit 12 pickups back and forth in a row. woah So then i did run where i hit 8 infinities>whirl>butterfly>whirl giving me my longest run with bsos whirl. Hell i'll just list the shit i hit tonight.
Pdx Pickups BS (BSOS too )
clipper DLO flipside
Drifter Strong Side
I also tried dropping the bag into a swirl and i footed it on both sides so i'm getting really close . I also hit firefly for the Third time this week or ever for that matter. I can't wait til tomorrow to kick with the group although i always kick worse in circles OH and i found out the ARCH center underneath Gordon commons has digital video cameras for rent so i hope we can put out a mad town footbag club video on modified soon! Footbag..Hell yeah.
Thanks for the correction zach today i kicked with will, scott and joe and again i make the point that i do much better on my own...i think it's because it's like two trys and then wait and i can't get into a solid groove. I did hit the butterfly>pdx mirage repeat x3. Will also corrected me on how to do whirls w/o missing the dex around the bag and he really simplified it for me. I'm pumped to try and fix those tomorrow. A bit of bad news though my mini abshire ALREADY has a hole in it so lets hope this glue i bought at walgreens works. I also tried to repair the hole in the bottom of my left laver. Anyway probably not gonna kick tomorrow cause i want this stuff to be solid on my bag and my shoe and it says it requires 24 hours for full strength.
Kicked with will, joe#2, and scott today. Will is freakin' amazing.....i tried some fairy set and then will decided to go for fairy drifter and hit it. Overall it was a pretty average session. Although i did finally hit dimwalk flipside and i reached an all new record. My previous infinity record was a sad and apalling six. But today...i somehow hit EIGHTEEN just after i told will i couldn't even get over 10. A truely awesome moment and a pretty damn cool day too.
I just had to post how much of a dumbass i am. So this morning i go to put in my contacts and i lose my right one when putting it in. After searching for 15 minutes i said nuts to that cause i had to get to class and i put my glasses on. I figured when i got back that i could open up a new right one and then shred after class. What a plan...muwahaha. Well i get back and i put in my right contact lense and....it hurts...bad....and judging by where it hurts i figure that my other contact lense is in my eyelid. So for the next 3 hours i'm trying everything that has ever worked in order to try and get it out. My roommate even offered to help. Well after these three grueling hours i find that the second contact lense had a tear in it....*smack* so i open another new right contact lense and carefully put it in. there's eyedrops all over the floor, two right contact lenses have been rid of......and my entire head hurts for some reason. Oh and i didn't kick...maybe i still will but at this rate i'll probably lose my leg and then my other then after throwing them out realize they could've been reattached.
I have a cold but i'm gonna try to shred with the group today....I finally got the secret to stepping set from will and tomorrow i shall try to nail it with alot of work. More Tomorrow
Here goes for the details of this intense session:
So i hit alot of runs some topping 10 contacts and then i got EXTREMELY close to flipside torque. then i took to practicing my stepping set for only the 60th day in a row but this time i had an awesome ally....Will Rockey's advice. Thanks a ton will. I hit ripwalk on my strongside then after hitting it i hit it the next 5/6 times. I Was pumped...to say the least i started doing the arm pump while screaming YESSSS while onlookers were wondering why the half naked man was punching the air.
Actually i'm saying this out of order. Just before hitting ripwalk i hit symposium mirage BSOS. Additionally i hit.....shit i need some move name help.
TOE > OP IN [DEX] > OP IN [DEX] > SAME TOE [DELEY]
I'll edit it accordingly. I guess it's like the inverse of an eggbeater.
I was so pumped up and my spinning set got a ton better. I can't wait to show the club tomorrow at our sesh.
HIP
HIP
HOORAY
Again for those who don't like long posts heres a summary:
Ripwalk (Strong Side)
This thing: TOE > OP IN [DEX] > OP IN [DEX] > SAME TOE [DELEY]
Yeah, if it's not too far out of the way (I think-- I'd probably have to ask to be sure).
Congrats on the ripwalk! Gotta get it flipside soon. >:] And what you hit is called a reverse eggbeater, it appears. I've told you about this site before, but just to make sure you know: http://www.geocities.com/trippderelict/
And by the way, you spelled 'delay' wrong... and that's ok.
well i only kicked one out of the last three days and it was a one on one sesh with will rockey which was pretty cool. He helped me a ton with my flipside stepping set and gave me a ton of advice. I also hit diving butterfly BSOS and i hit pdx eggbeater and bubba beater both strong side only.
Then i tried for zach's guiltless challenge and found that 10 unique contacts with only 1 b 1p and 1o is gonna be a little while. I did hit an 11 contact run that was close except for the butterflies, but i'll post it as my ROTD anyway. Oh and i also hit ducking clipper>whirl which opens up some possibilities.

OH and i found out the ARCH center underneath Gordon commons has digital video cameras for rent so i hope we can put out a mad town footbag club video on modified soon! Footbag..Hell yeah. 
Props on the Butterfly > Paradox Mirage > repeat x 3 though!
