Me.
Me, ready to throw down.
Ironically, the face I'm making and the face my friend to the right of me is making are usually switched around.
Me and the people who were still around when this picture was taken. I wish everyone who was there over the course of the night were there to experience that moment of amazing picturesqueness, but oh well.
Edit: As for footbag I had a session Saturday where I wasn't very limber, which I hate doing. Once I warmed up, though, I worked throwing as many 5's midrun as I could. Not a lot of highlights, but I was doing well enough. I'm very happy that Miles will be kicking regularly once more.
Maybe one day... hehe
Recently I cut off the toe walls on my units and it's revealing a lot about my game. My flipside toe stall sucks compared to my strong toe stall. I spent a lot of the session missing passes with my flip toe stall, but progress was made that will help me big time in the long run. I had a couple sessions before today in the newly modded shoes but neither were revealing like today. I had to slow my game down a bit and just worked on easy stuff. My consistency was crap, but I was playing with great form. Towards the end my stepping was feeling amazing. Very Vasek like form imo. It's going to take a while to get to where I was before cutting the walls off, but when I'm there my game will look a lot different I hope (tempo/form-wise, not trick selection). I'm also, from here on out, going to start every bust with at least two butterflies to set my tempo. This was really helping my stepping combos. hehe I feel like such a newb writing all this, but as I said, very refreshing. What's more, it's been great kicking with Miles again. It's so hard to get pissed around him just because he can completely put anything I would happen to get pissed about in perspective. Some other interesting tidbits that I've been aware of for a while but were brought to a head today were things like having a hard time spinning ducking out of strong side butterfly. The reason is that I have a more flexible clipper on that side so I'm inclined to delay more lazily and closer to my body -- with the modded shoes I can't do this (can't stall near the toe w/o the toe box -- forced to stall in the middle of the shoe on all my moves). Yet I naturally default to that style of clipper on my flipside (ex - ducking butterfly>spinning whatever is a ton easier on that side, still pretty easy on my strong side but the set is definitely not as crisp..). Anyway, that's enough disconnected footbag rambling from me. In conclusion, ladies and jellyspoons... Well, Nick don't expect me to be shredding the hardest you've ever seen me this next weekend.
