That's hella impressive... I've never even seen you do a DLO now you're stringing smogs.

Will you be in town for spring break?

Good shred today, mostly went on long relaxed strings.

I don't remember all that much, here are some things (rhyme):

smog midstring a couple times

barfly>pdx whirl>pdx whirl>barfly BS (i saw brian parsons hit that a long time ago)

high plains drifter off the foot once

Leaning Mirage!

Anyways I'm going to Indiana this weekend with my improv troupe so I won't be playing for a couple of days. I'm still super-pumped about leaning mirage tho. I've wanted that one for quite some time.

Huge props Eric!

Here's some new stuff from me:

double over down > barrage repeat

symposium quantum butterfly both sides

symposium atomic mirage both sides

Kicked today for the first time since last thursday. Little rusty.

I worked on swirls a little bit both sides.
I hit pdx illusion>smudge>dimwalk>repeat
I hit like 12 consecutive gyro clippers

Had a 2 hour sesh today outside in the cold. Hit witchdoctor both sides for the first time. Getting a little more consistent with nuclear sets both sides and far swirls.

Just had a late-night, shoeless, around the world session, with a sandbag, in the 3 foot by 3 foot clean area in my room, trying to play quietly since someone lives in a room right below mine and the floor can be creeky. Quite the experience. Here are the highlights, in chronological order:

-ATW>ATW>DATW BS in both directions

-ATW>DATW>ATW BS in both directions

-DATW>DATW BS in both directions

-10 consecutive ATW's BS in both directions

Whew! Part of me wants to go to bed right now but part of me wants to get drunk and maybe eat a pizza. We shall see.

I had an excellent solo session today. Hit sumo (nuclear pdx mirage) for the first time, such a sweet move. Long runs with lots of torques, barrages, and eggbeaters. Hit paradox whirl > symp whirl repeat.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 21 Feb 2006 14:14

i'm back baby, done with swimming, schooling starts tomorrow. woo hoo.....yeah uoh yeah..... I feel grrrrreat. Hopes to accomplish everything.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 21 Feb 2006 14:47

nice job on sumo...though it technically is nuclear mirage because it doesnt get a second paradox, but its a bitch of a 4 add.

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 21 Feb 2006 20:18

Good to hear you'll be schooling again Reid!

Alright the video I made finally works! So go check that out in the video section. It's mostly single moves and such. Think of it as a short little experiment for me to re-learn how to use Adobe Premiere (it's been a year-and-a-half now since Bag Boyz...crazy).

Expect more videos soon with intense strings and much crazier moves

BTW, I hit reaper for the first time today BS. Later y'all

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 25 Feb 2006 10:22

Yeah so bishup and me have had a few sessions this week, all pretty good but Nothing too special just schooling sessions, and working on components, lets see... yup... I hope the rest of the ftb are working hard, I'm sure they are.

Why are you doing olympic lifting? That stuff is bad for your back and knees and the only point is to try and prove how strong you are. It would be better to just do regular weightlifting and not do the dynamic motions while moving weight.

Reid · Post by **Reid** » 03 Mar 2006 20:49

john thanks for your concern, but I´m not doing all that much weight, my knees have actually been feeling better from the lifting, and as long as i keep proper form(it´s good to be on a sports team at university because you get your own lifting coach who makes sure you use proper form) I should be all rigth with my back.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My computer is down. I'm on Kevin's computer right now.

Will is visiting Kevin and I this weekend for Unofficial St. Patrick's Day here at U of I. We kicked at midnight on thursday and I got some footage. We'll see how that turned out, but I'm afraid we might have gone out of the shot in a lot of runs. We shall see.

Anyways that was the only time we had to kick because we've been drinking non-stop since then. Cheers all!

Pretty sweet Henry. I won't be in Madison over the summer, but come fall we'll shred it up at library mall. (rhyme).

I had a nice solo session last night. I did a lot of stepping out of whirls and pdx whirls. Hit legbeater > blurry whirl. Had a lot of nice runs like double over down > drifter > barrage BSOS. And Eric, you're forgetting about our informal hack session in your frat as well as at the park... good times.

After four years of working at it, I finally hit double around the world. A little toey but I did it!!!!!!!!!
