Props Will on all the 5-add stuff and the ripstein too. That one surprised me.

Solo session tonight. I hit:

pixie legover>magellan>repeat

17 contacts of pdx mirage>smear>dimwalk>repeat (sloppy but still

)

My pixies, flipside especially, have improved a lot in the last couple months. Slowly becoming less awkward.

Short session with Phil at the armory. They kicked us out after like 20 minutes so the track team could use it, even though we were taking up like 10 square feet of space off by some wall. Then we went into an empty classroom there but the floor was super slippery. Kind of frustrating.

Anyways I hit a couple new moves:

-haze
-tombstone

Worked on pixies, and some other cool things too. Tried out stallbergers, for the first time I think. Later.

I had another excessively long and exhaustive session today.

Reactor (atomic whirl) both sides

Far symp. rev. whirl both sides

Toe blur back to back

Tripwalk BSOS and Dyno BSOS in the same run

DLO > Legbeater both sides (fun link)

Blur > Legbeater > Ripwalk BSOS (I should try to repeat this into a drill)

ducking butterfly > ripwalk both sides

Gyro symposium whirl

Backside fear both sides

Spinning osis back to back starting from both sides

Slapping leg over BSOS

Lots of blender practice

I'll be arriving in High town, IL on the 17th. The FTB will have a glorious full reunion. I think we should make a FTB video over break. Whaddya think guys? You still got that camera Siegel?

Slapping leg over BSOS

Um what is this trick?

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 10 Dec 2005 10:34

I'm kickin' every other day but even then it's been hard to find time with finals comin' up and about a million other things.

Anyways, yeah I do have a camera, so does Reid, and Kevin has the chords and everything else necessary to make a vid. If we do it though lets wait 'til after NYJ 'cause I'm goin' on a trip to Vegas with my brother before then.

No shred today. Later

Quantum set same side leg over.

I had a casual solo session today just screwing around with random stuff. For instance, neo set (inside fairy). Such an awesome set. Here's a tough 3 add: Quantum no plant clipper. Hit some consecutive DATWs both sides. Far reverse whirls and dynos. Worked on DLOs a lot too. Knee bump set drifters (hard!). Hit some paradox torques. I've decided next session I'm going to skool consecutive barflies til I can do at least 5 or so.

OK I just had by far the coldest session of my life. It was a night session at the HP parking garage's top level, so it was basically the same as kicking outside but at least the place is well lit. And of course I didn't have the foresight to bring a long sleeve shirt

My body could only take about an hour or so of the cold, but I hit some decent stuff anyways:

sidewalk>ripwalk>blur>dimwalk>ripwalk>ripwalk>blur>dimwalk>sidewalk>ripwalk>blurry whirl off the foot

ducking clipper>reverse swirl>repeat

A run of about 25 contacts that included vortex BSOS and gyro DLO

I had a session today.... yay.... Um actually it wasn´t that bad.

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 14 Dec 2005 19:45

Wow Reid, thanx for the riveting details in that last post.

OK anyways here is the deal FTB crew. Both Kevin and I will be coming home separately this sunday the 18th. Then I'm off to Vegas on Tuesday the 20th and Kevin's off to visit his dad the day after that. So the point of this post is to say that I do formally declare that MONDAY, DECEMBER 19TH be the glorious, FULL FTB REUNION SESSION!

Ok, so are we all down?? Kevin and I are down. Reid? Will? I'll give Matson a call soon. We good to go? MONDAY, DECEMBER 19TH?? Yes??

That's about it I think. Hit stepping diving whirl yesterday. Yup. Let me know what's up boyz!

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 14 Dec 2005 20:04

is the 19th going to be a private party or are party crashers welcome?

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 14 Dec 2005 21:28

Oh I had a session today.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 14 Dec 2005 22:03

Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipsided, double over down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I become the footbagger of a town called Bel-Air

In Chilly Philly born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Duckin' out, divin', weavin', all cool
And all shootin' some torques outside of the school
When a couple footbaggers who were kicking really good
Started shreddin it up in my neighborhood
I got in one little circle with my man schneider
he said, "You're movin' with Abshire and Crook in Bel-Air."

I kicked and shredded with him day after day,
But he packed my thirty-two and sent me on my way
He gave me some tips and then he gave me my ticket
I put my lavers on and said, "I might as well kick it."
Five adds, yo this is bad
Busting ripwarriors back to back
Is this what the shredders of Bel-Air kickin’ like?
Hmm...this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said “good sesh” and it had nice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this was Weber
But I thought, "Nah, Czech it. Yo home to Bel-Air!"

I pulled some big adds about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabby, “yo honza school ya later”
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the footbagger of Bel-Air.

hahahaha looks pretty good Reid

just letting all of you know that Reid came up with this beautiful thang in our dining hall...brings a tear to my eye.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 15 Dec 2005 13:52

Eric siegel equally had a part in it, his poetic genious and spelling mixed with my randomnous, fixed the final.

SlickProtege · Post by **SlickProtege** » 16 Dec 2005 21:10

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 17 Dec 2005 00:28

Any progress trying to get home a little earlier Reid? Remember: stand-by is when you go, and, ummm...you stand. Yeah you go and stand, umm, near...or I suppose by the umm plane I guess. So yeah you basically stand there and your by. Yeah, I'm an expert on that. Any more questions??
