I had a decent session today. It was like 90 degrese out though. Willie was sweating so much he could ring the sweat out of his shorts hahahaha. Well anyways some stuff i hit was...

Atom smasher > Atom smasher
through some flip atomics in shreds
hit a couple more Ripped warriors...hit Dyno out of one of them
just missed spinning osis > spinning osis more times than i can count
my frigid sets on my flipside are getting stronger
Eggbeaters are getting stronger and faster
Buba beater
pdx eggbeater

Thats about all i can think of. Im most pleased with my atomics. I can duck my strong side, and my flipside is starting to become more effortless and sharper.

finally hit spinning osis>spinning osis. That felt really good

Got a cool rewind. Pixie far osis>mercon? i dunno how to spell it.

what else...hmm...i started trying to hit mobius and came really close to hitting it out of some cool tricks like spinning osis. I've hit it before, but only on one side. im going to start school those alot...I almost hit a realyl cool combo that i've been trying...

Spinning clipper>Torque>spinning osis>torque. I dropped it on the last torque.

Thats about it today. willie and i didn't play that long because the wind was crazy and blowing the bag around. I was kinda hung over too heh...

Yeessssssssss my camera finally came! its soooooo choice. definitley worth the $600 i spent on it. Willie, Pat and i are going to shred at the gazebo and make our first movie. Except to see lots and lots and lots of footage from us :-d

Yesterday Pat, willie and I went up to Skidmore College, which is a nice school about 25 minutes away from our house. The campus is great for shred and we picked the perfect spot right infront of the art building. There were so many summer class people walking around and we got alot of big crowds and tons of props from everyone. There was a tour going on while we were shredding and they walked right by us and everyone kinda stopped and watched, and the tour guide was tellin' us how crazy we were hahah. Ahhh i love footbag. We'll probably go back there in a couple days and get some good footage.

Just had a short session. it was waaaaaay to hot to keep playing. im looking forward to fall.

i hit a cool drill after a couple tries.
- ripwalk>ripwalk>drifter>osis>infinity rpt.
i hit a few whirling swirls, one was from spinnign clipper.
i got 3 PLOs!

my flipside pixie is starting to become a little easier, but still can't do them very well. i think if i start doing them alot, and actually working on them, i should be able to do them farely well in a few weeks. i wanna work on my flip atomics too.

almost hit spinning osis>pdx BSOS

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 10 Aug 2005 12:22

yeesssss i beat my PLO record!!! i got 7 or 8 today...can't remember which foot i started on. however, i rocked my old record!

. I also hit some new flip pixie moves, and tried some pixie drills. got close to smear>PLO rpt. ill hit em next time i play. i also hit some other good stuff today...

Vortex
Gyro pickup
Gyro Whirl
8 spinning clippers!
Whirr

Willie and i had a race to Whirr today. he got it first, but i think we had about the same amount of tries. both mine and his were maad clean too.
i also hit mobius again today. they are starting to get easier, and it takes me less tries to hit it.

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 10 Aug 2005 12:26

Had a pretty good session today. Didn't hit as many things as id like, but i was practicing alot of tripless.

I had a bunch of really shreds concentrating on ATWs both ways, mirages, legovers and pickups, equaly on both sides.

My flipside pixies were pretty good today. i got 4-6 PLOS pretty constantly, whereas i only hit that many a couple times yesterday.

-i also hit Whirlwind!!

-i was really really close to vortex on my flipside.
-gyro mirage BSOS twice
-peaking osis to inspinning osis

i got like 10 good whipping sets, but didn't succeed to hit anything out of it. I tried it a bunch of times but, it kept hitting my calf. Then i remembered the advice Matt gave me at Geneseo. And then they started getting much easier. Hopefully i hit something out of it next session.

My flipside spinning and gyros felt a little better today too. i hit spinning clipper>spinning osis on my flipside a couple times which was really cool.

Had a sess today after work. Although, i had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep the night before...so i didn't play for more then an hour.

I had some really cool runs with BSOS double legovers and Drifters. Drifter>dlo is a fun combo.

i hit whirr again! that was pretty cool. Although, i've still yet to hit it on my flipside. ill work on that next sess.

i got Smear>PLO rpt!!! it was the first time i've ever linked my flipside pixies. im so happy! they are finally getting better since i started trying them a million times a session. i through alot of flip pixies in my runs too, from stepping far legover, schmoe, and bubba.

dropped the last blur on dimwalk>spinning clipper>blur rpt. ill get that tomorrow.

I think thats about it. Hopefully ill have a little more energy for my sess tomorrow.

I've been kicking for like 6 or so days straight, except for yesterday. I had to work during the morning, then once i got home i went up to vermont with a bunch of my friends and went swimming. I was way to tired to shred once i got home, and figured i could use a days rest.

Im going to get my certificiate of residence, so i can get instate tuition at the college im going too. Im pumped to shred today. some of my goals are...

-flipside Whirr
-Flipside vortex
-4 consecutive flipside spinning clippers. shooting for 10 on my strong. 8 is my record.
-i also wanna come up with some pixie drills so i can work my flip pixies.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 17 Aug 2005 09:08

here are some pixie drills:
- do alternating pixie sets for as long as possible, doing these without some downtime component into or out of them really lets you concentrate on the set motion
- magellan>plo rpt, this drills your pixies and your legovers obviously
- dimwalk>ripwalk>stepping legover, that drill works lots of stuff.

Drill hard!

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 17 Aug 2005 11:38

Well i jsut had one of those...blaah sessions you know?

My flipside pixies were feeling somewhat better. im really starting to feel that snap part, and when to dex it. I started trying faeries again today. To my amazment, my flip leg feels much much better on faeries then my strong side. Although, i still cannot get a good set for the life of me. Maybe my legs just aren't made for faeries.

i almost hit Torque>sole stall a bunch of times. That was really cool. my strong side torques feel so good and controled.

i think thats about it...Tomorrow will be a better session. i Promise

Just had a nice session out in our street with pat and willie. they weather was soooo nice. I wasn't hot at all, and i wasn't sweating bullets like usualy. I guess fall really is here

it came so quick. anyways, i hit a few cool things this sess.

-Bedwetter! i've been tryign to hit that for awhile now.
-Faery SS whirl! that was really cool seeing as how my faeries are really bad. They are starting to feel better too! i also hit
-Flipside faery beater

I think thats about it, besides some cool shreds with all sorts of eggbeaters. They were feeling on today. i almost threw my flipside pixie off of my flipside DLO a couple times. Both DLOs were feeling really nice and solid today.

its my birthday today

im 19 years old. its been a pretty uneventful birthday so far. no ones even said happy birthday

not even my dad. or willie haha. its cool though.

So i haven't been shredding much latley. because i hurt my ankle again...but i played for the first time in a couple weeks on sunday. i hit some cool stuff. Symp whirl>Symp whirling swirl on my second try. had a couple good runs that sorta stuck in my mind. overall it wasn't a very good session. my legs and ankle are feeling much better so ill be shredding alot more soon. Its just hard to make alot of time now that i just got a new job, and im going to school full time. my job is pretty demanding too. Most of the day i just stack 50lb bags of feed and grain and stuff. im usually to beat to do anything after i get home. well, i should get to some homework.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR JOSIAH DIGGES

Time management is always tricky with school, jobs, and sports... In highschool I used have school 8-3, practice 3-5, then work after that, followed by any homework. Very seldom did i have freetime, which is why i tend to stay away from jobs during the school year in college and just work a lot during the summer.

mc · Post by mc » 13 Sep 2005 11:04

happy frickin birthday, Josiah!!!! Hope it's been a good year for you, what with getting into the east coast scene so much! It's been good to get to know you and your brother. I hope you guys can make it out to KICKASS. I'll do whatever I can to help you get there (as always)...

later big J... on the way to 21 !!

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 13 Sep 2005 19:01

Thanks guys! yea it can get stressful sometimes. Once i settle into my new house though things will calm down. i drive 45 minutes to school and work right now, but once i move it will be 25 to school and 5 to work. So that will free up some time. My room will be huge too. im pretty sure ill have a nice shred space. So im pretty stoked about that. speaking of school, i have class in the morning, then work haha. Peace
