Laroche:
just wanted to say that I read some of your links about 5 posts back (e.g., dbl blender>grifter>ps whirling rake) and my eyebrows raised from awe. Those were some seriously IMPRESSIVE combos. I would like to give you props for your creativity and execution.

Ill be at Chcago for sure, so if you're there it'll practically be impossible not to have a kick together. But I suck compared to you :cry:

For FUCKING real!

Seriously, theres so much talent and potential hee but nobody kicks at our shreds anymore. Why? who knows. Looks like winter is just going to be me and kolo though since you're leaving :(

I mean... Marc, where you at? Koa? Martin? Guy with long hair, cant remember his name.... Efgar, or perhaps Lois? Ianek?

LAME LAME LAME. The montreal scene needs a fixin' and no bandaid is going to work that i know of.

Know what I think the big problem is too? The locale where we shred. We definetly need something better then that condenced fecal-matter known as NDA, with the ice-slippery floors and little bastards running around everywhere, and shitty hours.

Why dont we contact a YMCA localted somewhere downtown so its close for everyoet? That shit should be dirt-cheqp to hook somerhinf up with, and who knows... since its a public thing, there should be plenty of people and maybe we could get some more people interested as well?

I dunno, just throwing out ideas.

OK Comments on the vid: Kolo RULES!!! Good choice of music too :D Good symp whirls mathieu, they looked pretty easy onthe vid. And for the ignoranuses, the move I hit started with a pogo. Eli rules! Big inspiration from him tonight.

This is a pretty long ass post I guess I'll finsih it off with something completely random: Cornecopia. Typewriter. Pizzazz.

PEACE

thanks for the props on the whirls :D , I really like symp whirl right now it's fairly my favorite trick, I want to bust 20 consecutives of those, I know I have the power to do so, just more practice, and then perhaps I can hit one on flipside :D
I really need to get my left leg stronger.. any suggestions? weight attachements while doing leg lifts while being on the floor??

YMCA is a good idea I think..
altough It's even further for me.. I don't give a damn, it will be easier for us to go to english karaoke bars!

as for the players you listed Nick, Koa cannot show because of his assloads of work at Polytechnique. he has the only good excuse out of that group!

I'm sure we can fucking find a gym place that would even sponsor us if we have the KooL KoLo approch..

Just keep doing symp whirls on your left side matt. just try them over and over, and you'll quickly see your leg adjusting to the motion and getting stronger. thats the best way to do it.

Sick video, lets see some more stuff from the montreal crew!

INTENSE session today!

It was weird. Me and Mathieu showed up and shredded SO hard, but barely had anything to show for it. ie: Shit Session. Oh well, it was fun checking out the rock climbing chicks at the same time.

Mathieu was playing like crap for a bit, and then when we suddenly got our second wind after about an hour and a half, he really started picking up his game alot. Excellent flip pixies, so a bunch of pixie stuff bsos, and some ducks and dives and stuff like that. Lots of fun little combos!

What did I hit? Nothing. Nada. If footbag was bowling I'd have bowled a 55. THAT BAD. The only fun thing was a couple swirling moves midstring, the weird kind i normally can only START a string with. Truly unexciting, but im not too frustrated for some reason. Such is life.

Alright folks, some more out-of-context Mathieu quotes!

"There was only a bunch of fucking losers in the computer lab, like me"

AAAANNNNNDDDDDDD

Nick - "So what do you think of ****" Where **** is the guys name
Mathieu - "Well, i only like him when hes in the back and im in the front"

Actually, that one didnt come out so well, which means i cant remember the exact wording, but still, made me be like 8O

After the shred was an excellent asian restaurant dinner, and thats that. What else... there must be more for me to say or bitch about.

OH YEAH! Dont you hate it when your love muscle keeps popping out of your boxers under your shorts when you are trying to shred? so irritating, yet fresh.

Thats all mah peeps!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME...

Alrighty then!

Another session went down, to varying degrees of sucess, depending on whos view you had. 4 people showed up: Me, Mathieu, Kolo, and Martin. The early part of the session was FILMED MUTHATRUCKAZ but we're not going to show it because it sucks.

Regardless, I played pretty good. Most of my big tricks flopped like a dick in sight of 350 hairy women, but I had a few good links, and a couple REALLY good strings, mostly genuine stuff with big links and solid combos in there. On the whole my game was on fyah, so booyah.

Mathieu had a shitty session, but whatever. He got frustrated early and it got in the way of his game, which is too bad because hes improving alot and I saw a bunch of nifty combos and stuff he had been struggling with for a bit come out, and some hidden treats around the corner, whatever that means.

KOLO!!! He shredded hard, good string length, solid like la roche. His stepping ducking is a joke, his quantum ducking is nuts, and most of his sets and his game looks sooooo strong and comfortable. Hes really improving alot for an old fart!

Martin!!! Life of the party. Got himself a minihawk, and a flight jacket, like world war 1 pilots, so his style improved alot. pixie butterfly swirl like a lumberjack on the logs in the rapids, SHEBANG!!!! 8O Like WhereTF did that come from?! Lots of fun combos. Hes always been the shy one around us its cool to see him finally chill and relax a bit in my high and mighty presence.

DATS IT DATS ALL FOLKS cant think of anything else to say. I had an entire Mcains Instant Vanilla Cake which made me want to digest in reverse, really nasty. Dont ever do that, humble reader.

What else... oh SHIT!!! Some rumours about some pretty fucking awesome stuff have been a-rumblin' in MONTREAL so I'll keep you guys in the dark until the "project", as I like to call it, gets lit.

EDIT: Forgot to mention... WHO GETS TO RIP THE MIC AT A HIPHOP CLUB WEDNESDAY?! THATS RIGHT BITCHES!!! NOT YOU, ME!!!
... alright thats it. END EDIT.

UNTIL NEXT TIME...
