Those G6s look neat.

And nice pictures from Funtastiks. There's some good vibe in them.

Well well well. I played today in my G6's. A much better session even though I didn't hit any goals. I was close to a good bit of them, and just shred till I was dead tired. I hit 49 bops after a while, and damn that one got my legs tired. I'm still working them, but I will get 75 by Halloween damn it ! I also hit like 10 witchdoctors on both sides, but the witchdoctor gods did not want it bsos, so no luck there. Oh yeah, if you're reading this, it'd prolly mean more if you read page 17, I'm doing a Halloween Challenge...And the last ones are just killin me. So nothing really new, but something is on the horizon... i think. I felt just about as comfortable playing in my G6's than my Lavers.

Just filmed today by the river on some private property. It was like in some private club near the river, but i asked them if I could use their property for a bit because I was makinga short video on hacky sack. They didn't mind, so I played for about an hour or so. Good shred, hard shred, hopefully it's enough for the rest of the video, if not, I'm going to shred tomorrow if I don't have a mega hangover, PARTY ON !

Just uploaded the new footage, and finished the battle video, but it's still in it's rough cut stage. Everything seems to have come together quite well, hell, even outside of the footbag world ! Clinicals are going great, my CI told me I had a very strong anatomy background, footbag is fun, as always, and the party last night set things good for a bit, met a nice lady named Ashley. The only problem is I told myself I wouldn't date anybody with my sister's name, it's just odd. Oh well ! I'm just gonna figure something out, that or things will fall through, either way this problem will work itself out.

UHhhh.. I don't think I took any...so I'll have to find someone that took some pics. I had a session today, it was a bit cold, but it warmed up. I went down to downtown for a bit and shred by the river while the sun set, so I only played there for like 20 minutes.

After that I decided to go downtown and find some light. I drove over to a car dealership and played for about 30 minutes + and was pooped. The great thing was a lot of the dealers were still there, but I believe they were closing. They came outside for like 15 minutes and just talked and watched a bit. After they walked away I was done playing and thanked them for letting me play in their nicely lit lot. We talked a tad, and then he told me I was welcome to play anytime there. Usually in situations as such, you get kicked out within 5 minutes, but that guy was nice enough to let me shred there, and invited me for some more. He prolly was thinkin it was winter time and I wouldn't come back...

Anyways, if they watch me much more in the evenings, after a while I might ask them for some sort of sponsorship like just wearing their logo'd T-shirt when I shred in certain spots, and maybe they could hook me up with something in return, who knows. Just an idea...

Just finished the tripod battle video. It comes out to 4 minutes 13 seconds - 94 megs. I made it pretty nice quality, but I think I'll make a crappy one too for the poor ole dial-uppers. This should be a good one, so if ya like it, comment ! Of course you have to wait..15 more days. Bobby, come home and shred with meeee !

Just got done with a solo sesh in the clinic. I'd say this was about my 5th sesh in my G6's. I'm really starting to warm up to them. Brad asked me if they're better than lavers, but I couldn't really answer it with a yes or no. I've worn lavers for like 5 years, and just started using these G6's. They are great shoes, good cushion and support, with a great instep. So eventually I can see myself choosing them over lavers, but either way I can't go wrong.

My first touch today was a 59 contact BOP run which got me pretty pumped for the rest of the session. Pixie SS butter > pdx whirl bsos was good. I almost hit ps whirl bsos, which would be huge. Really, just hitting flip ps whirl would be huge. Every time I get close to it, I get so excited. It's telling me I'm progressing and my surgery leg is closer and closer to becoming kickass. I should have hit flip fairy drifter, but I missed it numerous times. Other than that, I think I'll keep workin my BOPS till I can get 100, and 50 easy. Also want to work on some of the Halloween challenges that I never got. Other than that, I guess I'm going to start skoolin more hopefully, so I can prepare for New Years Jam. I hope the rest of the WV crew can save up some cash and get prep'd.

Cool, then bob Bob can sign my WV shirt!

John and I sessioned today. I think it's been about a month since I've played. I played in my climas and it was pretty bad. I'm passing on the title of King of WV to Hoody because he's better than me now. He hit Gary Coleman today which was awesome. Pretty solid stuff. I had fun though. What a workout!

We have a new spine machine in our clinic. Supposed to be pretty helpful for things like sciatica, bulging/herniated discs and general back pain. It looks fucking sweet anyways

I think it costs near $250,000.

I'll try to go to Chicago. No promises because I'M POOR WITH STYLE.

Good session today with Brad, but Brad didn't play so hot , BUT there is a reason. He was shredding in Climas for the first time, hasn't shred in a month, wearing the most uncomfortable boxers (he told me, we don't share them

) , and was wearing my shorts that ,"felt wierd".

As for myself, I hit a couple new moves. Gary Coleman, which is the dumbest name ever(ok, i take that back, there are prolly 50 others that are worse), Atomic Op. Symp Whirl. Also hit Tapping Dlo for a first time. I had a solid BOP string of 72, so I only have 28 left and my goal shall be firmly grasped in my hands. These G'units seem to be coming along beautiful with my game. Some new things I'd like to do are : all the Halloween Challenges that haven't been met (i won that, yay), double down swirl, ps whirl b2b, food processor > ducking ps whirl > glorious hand catch, pixie & fairy drifter bsos, flip tapping dlo, and prolly a lot more things...oh yeah, flurry. I'm supposed to learn flurry for the New Years Jam so I can show Tom. I'm not too sure about that move, but I'll practice it every session ! That is quite a list, and I just kinda made that up as I went. I better print some of that shit off at work when I shred again, hopefully this Sunday.

I also found out that after my clinical is done (thanksgiving), I don't have school until...JANUARY !! So that means I shouldn't have much scheduling conflict with the New Years Jam. By then I'll have about $400-500 of plasma money saved up. Of course I'll either: A) Buy myself something I don't need for X-mas/birthday, B)Spend it all at Chicago on boos/stripppers on my birthday C) Save it up for school use.

Answer key: A & B is correct.

Edit : I'm not better than Brad, nor nowhere near it. He just has a confidence problem, forgets what he is capable of, and hasn't been practicing. You rule Brad, and everyone else knows it but you.

Weeeell, there was this crazy girl slutting it up last night at the house. She started saying, "you want me don't you?" I replied, "Not really." I guess she got mad that I didn't think she was the hottest thing since sliced bread and started talking trash about me. I didn't do anything about it and just watched a NIN concert with Trib on the couch. So I start talking to him about how I haven't heard them in a long tme and then I hear, "You can't talk to me like that!" and *smack* I get hit in the eye. I didn't even see it coming. Mind that I'm drunk and have no reflexes anyways, but it surprised the hell out of me. The hit cut my eyebrow and Trib kicked her out of the house. It's not bad, I just don't want the attention. Telling people at work that some drunk girl hit me when they ask about it is going to be annoying.

Weird.

I was gonna go shred over at the car lot under the lights until I walked outside and it started raining. So I just wanted to post this picture to remind me of any bad time, it could be worse. Thanks Andrew for havin this as your avatar so I can laugh everytime I see this.

Edit : The Tripod Battle is out, check it out.

Great session with Bob and Brad. It was really fun having Bob around to kick with. He tried out Brad's G6's the whole session since Brad doesn't use them at all, I saw some good stuff. As for me, I had some high goals, and missed most of them, but I hit some nice things here and there. I footed ripstein, hit ducking dlo, footed flip ducking dlo and pdx ducking dlo, hit fairy ss torque bs, ps blender, ps whirl > blender, hit some eggbeater moves while fairy ss eggbeater was the highlight. I messed around with nukes, but that set just sucks the energy out of me and makes my hips sore. I managed to hit some basics, and hit nuke pdx illusion which was new. Other than that I definitely didn't hit the goal of nuke ss drifter, waaay harder than I first thought. It'd be ok if my sets were ok, but they're not

Went to Marietta to kick today. Weather was so beautiful I had to play outside so I called Brad and Bob. My friend was playing at a show in Marietta so we just played for about an 1.5 hours over there at Marietta college for a nice environment and some passerbys. Some kid named Eddy passed by and watched us for a while. He talked to us for a bit and it was so interesting how he knew some general trick names. After a while he ran back to his room and got some shorts and shoes instead of sandals and long pants.

He could do some toe stalls, do some kicks, and clipper kicks. He said some terms like drifter, butterfly, and mirage sounded familiar, and he's also been to footbag.org to check out videos and stuff. We told him we were from Parkersburg, and he said he knew one person from parkersburg, but we didn't ask who. So later some kid named Swails comes walking past us, and we all say hello. Eddy then says, yeah, that's the kid I know. Small world... that and Parkersburg is pretty small...Oh yeah...he also wore clima cools... what are the chances ?? They weren't the right kind, but close enough. I know I can make them playable if he wants them mod'd.

Eddy sounded really interested and is supposed to call me sometime to kick, I'm gonna show him the loops through footbag and hopefully he'll want to learn. He seemed pretty interested, he just didn't have any one else to really skool with. So that's today's exciting news
