Yo yo yo
it is good that your toe is better jesse.
I wrote my routine yesterday, i am pretty happy with it.
I think it could be a routine i could execute without too many drops, and the music is cool too, i will have to show youse before melbourne.
Yeah ryan mulroney is the fuckin best shredder to watch in my opinion. But then vasek is freakin unbelievable, how many shredders can you watch every time, and they consistenly blow your mind each time, craziness.
Working sucks gareth
peace

Solo session tonight. Both Caroline and Foxy were sick.
Listened to Hilltop Hoods for the first half of the session. A little too slow for my style, but it was ok to listen to, and I think everyone else was ok with it.
I've started working on a routine, but it's not looking good.
I can hardly hit the first 16 tricks, before a break. The second string I've started working on, too... but I'm not too keen on it, and I've had troubles with it also.
Other than alot of drilling, schooling and big combo/trick attempts... there was nothing really to report. I footed ripwalk>ripwalk, but... little else. Ummm. I also hit Quantim same legover.
I did try schooling my spins, but not as much as I could have.
With today being soooo damn hot and humid, I was totally saturated in sweat by the end of the session, so I left the shoes and socks in the Piazza with the jugglers, and went for a swim at the beach. It was a little disappointing because the water was so warm, but it was nice to be in wet clothes, not sweaty clothes.
All in all, not a bad night.

Yeah it is freakin hot up here to gareth.
Keep practising that routine and i am sure it will be tip top.
I worked on illusion and bubba last night and now they are lookin good. My flip bubba is sometimes thin, but i can live with that.
worked on flip parkwalk, it is good now
worked on barfly hit it numerous times, and twice in a row, my leg started hurting so i stopped working on it, i am so smart.
Had a few good looks at flip double over down
Then i shredded. I am not shredding guiltless now, i want long runs everytime, and i look in control when i chuck some twos in there. Guiltless will come a knocking when it wants to.
Did my routine in front of the camera. I did 3 drops, but overall it was pretty good.
THen i did my sic 3. 7 attempts i gave myself. This is what i hit.
SWEET>FUCK>ALL
The dex on the 'All' was a bit thin, but i am still claiming it as my first beast.

Wont be able to be there dan. sorry bro.
drilled barfly on my strong side and it is solid now. I need to drill paradons as they were off. I tried flip double over down, not ready for it yet, try it in a month. I drilled strongside spinning and it is solid, need to work flip spinning tonight.
I shredded really well after.
Did my routine 6 drops
And i hit nothing for my sick 3 again. I couldn't hit my safety because i couldn't step in the pants i had on. However i did foot my harder combo twice in seven goes.

yewwwww, went egging the other night. Was sweeeeeeeeet as, my first time. We were using my mates old daddo and just cruzin round doin stupid stuff at like 1am. We also drove past some other crazy hooligans going down the wrong side of the rode! LOL. My bro's atm card balance was apparently at $0.00 but he just keeps using it anyway! Its so cool. We bough like 3 cartons of eggs all up. I did a rad shot as we were going around a corner and landed it on a tin roof and also hit some utes, houses, A BOAT (inside it), a subaru and an old valient charger. At the end of all our eggs a I fanged a widow maker (fire cracker about the size of your index finger) inside a metal-ish letter box. Effing loud ass bang.
Tonight was pretty cool aswell. I was bored all day and ended up speaking to my mate duffy around 6:00 pm saying that we should go do something. We went to another mates house and there were a whole bunch of others there so we went toad clubbing. There wasnt that many about but we had about 20-25 inside a garbage back, dead and alive. We went back to Dana's house (one of the guys who was with us) and got some metho and fireworks. Then we brought it back and poured metho all over the bag of toads and watched them burn. The live ones tried to hop away so we poured metho on them and lit them as they hopped away. Funny stuff it was. Then Karl did burnouts on the maggot-ly burnt pile of toads. That was kinda cool. After that Duffy and I got some maccas and cruzed on home. Oh yeah, the fireworks were OK. One of them was a dud and another, the fuse fell off so we just lit that. It went crazy and spun around in circles then flew into the air.
If you have ever been into a Kabab shop then you would have seen the big poles that the meat sits on. Dana works at a Kebab shop so we used one of them (a spare one that he isnt gonna use anymore) to pick the toads up with. We then started using it as a javelin and throwing it at a tree. I had a turn and it bounced back in hit me in the arm and leg. It hurt.

Your freakin nuts jesse.
I have worked out my spinning both sides yay. I have said this before but now i have completely grasped, and it look so sexy to hooray.
I hit flip eggplant a couple of times, but i have decided i will use my atomic set while shredding for a month, and then try eggplant.
I worked on swirls on strong side they were good, work flip tonight.
My paradon was off a couple of nights ago, so i drilled it last night, and now it is uber cool.
Then i shredded, hit some nice consistent stuff
Did my routine at the end of a hard session of footbag.
9 drops
which is bad,
then i hit my safety for my sick 3 on the 4 th go. It is a 3-4-4.
Hooray for me
peace

Jorden Moir sucks!
I watched Mammoth Pt 1 today and wanted to play footbag but I was feeling like shit, so I couldn't.
I need to work my routine more. I'm thinking about just planning half, and just doing shit for the second bit.
I dunno.
Caroline got her new Lavers the other day and needs to mod them!
I should be keen for a kick this weekend.

Yep i watched mammoth pt 1 and pt 2
It made me rank my top 5 players again.
1) Vasek Klouda
Was there any doubt. Everyone is getting so good, yet he is still twice as good as them.
2) Lon Smith
Awesome shredder. I think some people don't rate him high enough
3)Jorden Moir
This was close between him and honza. I chose jorden because everytime he releases a vid he blows my mind. Jorden flipside is better in my opinion and his range of tricks is freakin amazing.
4)Honza webber
As above. I probably like honzas style the most.
5)Felix Zenger.
This dude probably should be higher on the list but i havent seen much of him lately.
1024) Anthony 'Hagesy' Hagen
This guy is awesome. I love it how he sometimes bails to a legover after osis. And he can symposium mirage both sides out of pdx mirage, how crazy is that link!
I played footbag for 30 mins last night, Television is evil. Worked on flip reverse swirl, it is still shit
bye
bye

Nice Hagesy.
Just a couple of definitions here.
Fun: Last night
Binning: Dragging wheely bins (full or empty with any substance) down a road at high speeds for a good distance before releasing them into any obstacle.
Egging: Buying cheap eggs and lobbing (overarm over the top of the car) or pegging (full force throw directly at the object) them at things. Preferably cars and houses.
Bricking: Speeding down a road with heavy, solid objects and throwing them into signs.
All of these things were put into action last night.
It started out with me finding that there was going to be a surprise party on for a mate and that we would be going to someones house afterwards. Turns out that my mum had gone to this house for dinner but just left as I arrived. After bunging around there for a bit Duffy (our driver for the night), Josiah (my bro) and Jho (A chick I know through some other friends) decided we were to have some fun. We started off with one box of eggs and cruzed around one are bombing automobiles. There was a big winebego which duffy, Josiah and I all landed an egg on at the same time. Sooner or later we knew that we would run out of eggs so we bought two more boxes and unleashed our wrath. Egging was begging to become boring and I was introduced into the new world of "binning". We pulled up to my first victim and dragged the MF at about 90km/h before the whole friggen lid broke off and the bin rolled onto its side with rubbish spewing everywhere. Well we thought that we should probably leave that area cause it was begginning to become a tad suss of our actions. We moved on to another area and turns out that it was bin night in this region. Jackpot for us
. This is where the mayhem took place. We cained it up a hill at like 110km/h and I swung this bin hardcore into a island. It hit the edge of it and went about 3feet into the air only to hit a sign and go a couple of feet high spraying the contents of the bin EVERYWHERE. It was agreed that that was the best binning they had seen.
My brother then had the next best, landing garbage all over someones drive way. There were other random bins done such as doubles (holding two bins at once, person in the front and person in the back). Alot of the bins started losing their wheels after about 100m or turning onto their sides and grinding away on the road. We moved to another area and bins became hard to find.
Oh, I forgot to mention something. We found to empty luggage bags and decided that it would be fun to drag them on their small wheels outside the car. The wheels wore down and sparks were going everywhere. I let mine go at like 110km/h aiming for this huge boat but it had too much speed and went like 3m into the air and cleared the whole boat. Lol.
Next on the agenda was bricking. We found a new estate with houses still under construction and decided that this would be our home ground for bricks. We got 4 or 5 at a time and dinted the eff out of some signs doing 140km/h. Good fun it was. The signs were friggen mangled after we left.
We ended up getting home at like, 3am an sneaking up to bed.
My footbag life is nil atm which I cant really do anything about. I have been downloading a poo load of videos latley though which kind of substitutes for the craving.
All in all, I have a new defintion.
Badass: Me
lol. What a n00b.

Today... I really don't know how to start this, but I know I've got to write it down - it's something I need to talk about.
Total polar extremes.
To find I'm cutting hose for someone who wants to use it to kill them selves, when only hours before you were struck by a bolt of lightening and falling in love.
I was standing at the service desk, trying to sort out an issue with a repair for a customer that I had to call back, and I saw her.
There are times when you see someone who you find attractive, and then there are times when you are stuck by something else... and your heart breaks, and reforms and breaks again. When you don't know if you should laugh or cry.
Love at first sight? I dunno. Maybe. But there was a definate connection. Maybe she was like me... too scared to say anything. She seemed as nervous as I was, and we both tryed to avoid each others eye contact (for fear of being caught?).
I watched her leave without having anything to say to her. I didn't serve her, I'd just watched her.
What could I say?
Thoughts stuck with me for the rest of the afternoon. Everything about her had me. I wanted to laugh and cry out because I felt so good from some invisible contact. And I wanted to burst into tears because she had left.
Thoughts stuck with me, untill a girl came up to me wanting some electrical conduit cut - the flexible kind. She'd brought it halfway through the store to find someone to cut it for her, and she called to me, while I was serving another customer. She was kinda scruffy... after the girl I was still thinking of, she was nothing to look at. She wore purple socks... I remember that. No shoes... just socks. She had a white t-shirt. She was blond. That's all I remember.
She wanted some conduit cut. I was pissed off because I needed the fineline number to write a docket out.
She wanted 1m. No, that's not long enough... 2m? How about 3m? It needs to be the length of a car.
I was getting frustrated... I was in the middle of serving a customer, and she's not even sure what she wants! She's wasting my time.
Then Karren comes along, gently takes the hose and offers to help.
Relieved I no longer have to deal with her, I go back to what I'm doing.
When I retrun to the tool shop, the girl at the regester tells me... Karren is with a girl who is trying to buy a hose so that she can kill herself.
She wanted to kill herself, but I felt like I'd been struck by a truck.
Fortunately, Karren managed to keep her at the store, talking to her, untill the paramedics arrived. They arrived as I was leaving.
Right now... I'm just fucked up... the whole day has left me stupified.
On my way home I decided I needed to play footbag, but my bag has a hole it in.
I was going to play footbag and get drunk.
So, now, no footbag... I'm getting drunk.
What a day.

I was standing at the service desk, trying to sort out an issue with a repair for a customer that I had to call back, and I saw her.
There are times when you see someone who you find attractive, and then there are times when you are stuck by something else... and your heart breaks, and reforms and breaks again. When you don't know if you should laugh or cry.
Love at first sight? I dunno. Maybe. But there was a definate connection. Maybe she was like me... too scared to say anything. She seemed as nervous as I was, and we both tryed to avoid each others eye contact (for fear of being caught?).
I watched her leave without having anything to say to her. I didn't serve her, I'd just watched her.
What could I say?
Thoughts stuck with me for the rest of the afternoon. Everything about her had me. I wanted to laugh and cry out because I felt so good from some invisible contact. And I wanted to burst into tears because she had left.
Thoughts stuck with me, untill a girl came up to me wanting some electrical conduit cut - the flexible kind. She'd brought it halfway through the store to find someone to cut it for her, and she called to me, while I was serving another customer. She was kinda scruffy... after the girl I was still thinking of, she was nothing to look at. She wore purple socks... I remember that. No shoes... just socks. She had a white t-shirt. She was blond. That's all I remember.
She wanted some conduit cut. I was pissed off because I needed the fineline number to write a docket out.
She wanted 1m. No, that's not long enough... 2m? How about 3m? It needs to be the length of a car.
I was getting frustrated... I was in the middle of serving a customer, and she's not even sure what she wants! She's wasting my time.
Then Karren comes along, gently takes the hose and offers to help.
Relieved I no longer have to deal with her, I go back to what I'm doing.
When I retrun to the tool shop, the girl at the regester tells me... Karren is with a girl who is trying to buy a hose so that she can kill herself.
She wanted to kill herself, but I felt like I'd been struck by a truck.
Fortunately, Karren managed to keep her at the store, talking to her, untill the paramedics arrived. They arrived as I was leaving.
Right now... I'm just fucked up... the whole day has left me stupified.
On my way home I decided I needed to play footbag, but my bag has a hole it in.
I was going to play footbag and get drunk.
So, now, no footbag... I'm getting drunk.
What a day.
