I have been waiting for a picture like this to pop up.... the only picture I had of it was kind of blurry. Thank you, so much. Greatest shirt ever.

Before I read the full text on the shirt I just thought it was hilarous that one of the arrows was kinda pointing to his nipple.

Nates presence on the Central Coast of California has inspired within me a multiudinous and triumveratic urge to vociferate the modernity movement of tumultouos protuberance, as experienced by yourselves through the lense of my camera. If you didn't understand that, you aren't alone . . .

I present to you . . . Pics, Round 1 Santa Cruz's Finest:

(Emily is SC thumbwrestling champ- 2006)

(the taste of victory is sweet)

(Jeremy's "the rock")

(Magnum- if you know what I mean . . .)

(Samoan face pic)

(God! Nate wants to get in on all the cute pics!)

(set it as your background you lonely solo session footbaggers)

(not as cool as we think)

(This is what happens when you move in too close on Nate's women-folk)

(had to defend my manhood against Nate in these next 5 or so pics)

(Jeremy vanquished all foes with "Eternal Crotch Grab" Megapose, collect em all!)

(awkward anyone?)

(simultanaety is always cool)

As the Black Eyed peas sang, where is the love modified?

dbl symp whirr = full symp whirr ?

props on this stuff. you're soo good.

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 03 Apr 2006 14:03

Thanks Setman, but the stuff you make in your posts seems waaaay better.

Im only writing this quik entry because i have a goal. I want to document it so that when I achieve it, I can know how long it took. I will break the *current grifter world record held by Jorden Moir, which is 5. I know I can hit more than that number, probably not by much though. Yesterday I hit 3 and had 4 roll off my foot.

blurry symp whirl>superfly
pdx drifter>pdx torque>repeated !!!!!
Tied Jorden's consec. grifter record with 5, 6th footed?

Tomahawk> pdx torque> pdx blender
Grifter x5 again, and he was so close to 6.

Sessions have been coming fast and furious . . . every day for the last 4 or 5 days, each one quite long or fairly intense. Anyway, tonight I had possibly my most productive solo shred session in a year or two, possibly ever. I hit a whole slew of things I have been hoping for for a while now. Everything seemed to come so easily, I felt like I didnt have to work as hard for a lot of things today, which shows that some of my recent drilling had really paid dividends. I'll just make a grand list of things that made me happy today:

-far rev whirl>rev whirl>repeat>pdx whirl>whirl>repeat
-blender>spinning osis
-twirl (one side only) twice in a run
-tombstone>tombstone>osis (twisted my ankle on this about 9 months ago or more, but i finally hit it!)
-stepping whirl x3 (could have hit more too)
-blurry whirl>flip tombstone
-tapping dlo bsos (1st try)
-fairy paradon>run and fairy op dlo>atom smasher
-flip pdx drifter x5, then flip pdx drifterx6 next try; two tries later flip pdx drifter x8

(felt like strong side, or better!)
-grifter x5 again (this makes 4 days in a row now; i guess I'm in no hurry to whoop on jorden's current world record because i keep tying it. ps- dont make it any higher jorden, k thanks

)
-high stepping butterfly>bedwetter

-torque>janiwalker f!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nally

-pdx torque b2b and bsos
-flip pdx torque>ripwalk>ripwalk>pdx torque> ripwalk (drop)
-blurriest>blurriest one time only, but clean
- a pigbeater and a smog, two tricks I never hit

WOW, look at that long list of tricks and combos! And my session was only about 1.5 hours. Anyway, I am really pleased with all of that. My only disappointmens are that I forgot to school tomahawks and diving whirls, and that I wasn't good at linking inspinning clippers today.

From what I read looks like a ton of cool stuff your hitting! Props. And those grifters,

. You'll beat the record soon since you've footed it and all. Good luck.

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 08 Apr 2006 11:06

Hey, thanks Ashley. Nice to hear those words

Had another session last night, but it was a 4-person session so, not by choice, it was a bit less intense than previous ones. I did hit a couple of sweeeeeeeeet ass things new to me:

-vortex>pdx torque
-flip blurry torque (2x, but only sealed w/ handcatches)
-one run with gravedigger, pdx torque bsos (2 on one side, 1 on other), and a regular and a toe torque
-pdx torque x3 again
-went a whole session without trying to break the grifter record, which was nice.

My schooling of pdx torque is paying off- I be gettin' dem ends.
