MIDWEST REPRESE'IN

oh my god. Best session ever.

Mike picked me up a little late because his alarm didnt go off, but it didnt matter at all because we got there before everyone anyways! haha!

Man, so i told mike to go the wrong way also, so it took us about 40 minutes to get to madison which is usually a 20 minute drive

sorry !

Brian, scott, ogden, rockey , mike and i were the first people.

i hit smear>nova (symp DLO) midrun out of NOWHERE. First nova ever. i later hit it flipside.

Brian was ripwalking so easy, his steps are really really nice now, and better than mine i think. Rockey was going off, long runs every time like usual. Its pretty insane. Mike was having troubles with spinning which is usually so nice and easy for him, but still hitting nice links. I dont think i saw any toe spinning today

Ogden is getting much better, and scott hit drifter and dlo today!

Ted came and was doing pretty well. Crispy royales so easy! janiwalker to start a run, just missed fury. Also hit atomic drifter, and footed 69.

Then rockey came over and said "You know a sweet link? Stepping op legover>double over down" so i said "Oh man that is sweet. ill try" I HIT IT FIRST TRY! I had never even hit double over down before (i have hit paradon) it is the sweetest link ever. it feels so natural.

Later i footed sumo, had matador off myfoot when ted and mike asked to see it. I had some really nice nuke sets today. (69 soon? )

I then hit my two fearless links for everyone, legbreaker> p torque and phoenix>p torque using different p torques

and then..... you know.... i hit MOBIUS both sides! I hit the first one, and then hit the other side like 5 minutes later. my torques were really off, and mobius felt more consistent than TORQUE.

Me and mike tried for marius, but neither got it. mike is so close. mike also just missed frankenstein.

Rockey hit scorpions tail to start a run, and pixie paradon.

i had pdx drifters midrun, and also hit tapping drifter for ted. i got props for that.

ALSO i hit tripwalk bs.

i had some massive runs today also, one was upwards of 30 contacts that felt like it went forever. I always do a lot more genuine links when im playing with people.
Hit Dyno also. dont know how. have never reverse whirled or blendered.

my personal highlights

nova (symp DLO) bs
mobius bs
stepping op legover>DOD
legbreaker>p torque and phoenix>p torque
a couple massive runs
footed sumo/matador
Dyno
smear>nova first time ever hitting nova. midrun...
atomsmasher>phoenix.... no seal
whirl>drifter repeat>run
a bunch of other stuff i forgot

PS rockey had janiwalker off his foot.

Man I wish I could have made it today. Hopefully I'll feel well enough to make it and kick tomorrow.

Nice combo, that's the best when you hit a new move midstring like that. I remember when I first started hitting Symp DLO's I hit that same combo (smear>symp dlo) in the middle of a string I started with fudge>flail on my first try and the camera had just run out of film

. I must have tried that string again 50 more times that day before I finally hit it again with the camera rolling. Nice move though man, I love Novas. I thought Nova was the name for PS DLO but it maves a lot more sense as the name for just symp DLO's in general. Novacaine (Gyro Nova) and Super nova (Blurry nova are awesome names.

Stepping op legover>double over down" so i said "Oh man that is sweet. ill try" I HIT IT FIRST TRY! I had never even hit double over down before (i have hit paradon) it is the sweetest link ever. it feels so natural.

I love Dlo's to double over down, such a smooth link.

Big props on the fearless links and the bs Mobius, it sounds like you've been steadily improving since midwesterns, I can't wait to kick with you tomorrow man

Nice to hear you hitting Whirls more now! Only double downs left

That Stepping Legover > DOD is a good start

Was the Nova you hit crispy or original?

Props on Mobius! I'm waiting to see you Blendering!

drilled swirls and learned spinning ducking today. hit a few nice spinning ducking clips/butters/osis. i had hit some before but i really learned it today.

I also hit ducking clip>swirl bs and spinning clip>swirl bs

spinning ducking clip bsos

i want to be able to throw spinning ducking into my runs as easily as i do with spinning/ducking

i was playing today in 3rd hour with a hacker. He was doing jesters and stuff. he wanted to see me hit the hardest move i can, so i footed atomic torque first try with huge baggy shorts on. i blew his mind

on another, way better note. i hit symp whirl. BOTH sides

and bsos

its a really easy trick

for me

also footed ps whirl both sides, anddddd mullet bs

whirlwind wasnt very close. i was just messing around though
