RCS IN DA CLUB

Stuge47 · Post by **Stuge47** » 17 Apr 2006 14:10

I played footbag today.

almost hit ducking clipper>spinning clipper BS today. I got it one side out of randomness.

just did tilt today mostly. I did that one tiltless drill today. Got up to pickups(the first part) then dropped. I plan on doing it twice through before the end of the month hopefully. Or all the way through(now with clean illusions!)

I dunno. Today was one of those sessions where I thought "Man, I really need to play more. I remember when this stuff was easy". Then I remembered why I had stopped. Then I cursed because of that kid who jumped on my foot. And I cursed at myself because.... well.... I always switch shoes. Hah.

How many seattle area kickers are going to make an appearance in MT?

sampotter · Post by **sampotter** » 17 Apr 2006 14:32

I know at least Justin, Ricky, and Scott are coming.

Keep playing, Danny! Lavers suit you very much! You would be surprised at how good your game looks in them. You look like a pro doing easy moves.

(to an extent) Hopefully we'll kick this Saturday or something.

I had the craziest dream last night. Daryl was driving Lon, Jim and Me to Folklife for some sick shred. There was more, but that was the middle of some really messed up dream, it it just occured to me that I can't wait for all the shred this ummer. It's going to be epic! Keep up the good work guys, I'm so ready to shred with you guys... SOON!

I love cake.

I wanted to play today, but didn't because I got home late, and was exhausted.

I have an interview at burger king tomorrow at 9:00ish. Then afterwards I have an hour or so to kill. So i'm going to kick at the mall. Then an ortho appointment. w00t. I will kick. hell yis.

I played today. It was really bad. I didn't warm up or anything and just kicked. I was pretty bad. I got frustrated again. Argh. I think it is because I was kicking with other people, and I wanna show them whats what. I need to stop doing that lol. Gonna make up for it later tonight though, so its all good.

hit whirl b2b on my good side. almost hit it other, but i missed the catch on the last one.

I had to miss school today. I had an orthodontist appointment. Even though it was 3 hours before my class, I don't really care. I went to the mall and was walking around, and found some key-osk or whatever. They were applying, so, well, I applied. I think i'll be getting the job for sure. the guy was cool, and asked what hours I would work and shit. hella cool.

KEEP SHREDDIN SEATTLE

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Stuge47 · Post by **Stuge47** » 20 Apr 2006 12:14

descent kicking last night. Thats about it. Just the random stuff.

did some trials with damien today at the college with a crappy bag and in pants. It was pretty fun.

Stuge47 · Post by **Stuge47** » 20 Apr 2006 18:17

My glasses flew off trying a gyro clipper. It was kind of funny.

Stuge47 · Post by **Stuge47** » 22 Apr 2006 15:19

Why did they cancel Johnny Bravo? He was so fuckin' cool.

People need to start posting comments or such in here. Or something.

I'm going to go kick.

sampotter · Post by **sampotter** » 22 Apr 2006 18:27

Just got back from a session with the dirtiest dudes in town (read: justin, scott, ricky) at the Cherry Blossom Festival today at the Seattle Center. Overall pretty okay session for me. The fucking good weather needs to get here so I can start fucking soloing fucking fuck!! There are so many moves and combos I need to lock down in my game and I can't because I haven't solo'd regularly since... last summer.

Hopefully I don't end up having a bunch of discouraging solo sessions. The session was kind of frustrating as it was really windy where we were kicking and this TERRIBLE Japanese metal band was fucking around on their guitars sporadically for about an hour so we didn't bother turning any tunes on. Justin at least had a good session, same with Scott. Ricky and I were finally warming up and then Scott and Justin called it quits and those three left. Fuck. I need to start soloing again. Luckily I'm not going to Montana or I would just fucking embarrass myself. I would probably end up getting props on paradox drifter bsos again like I got from Allan.

What the fuck is that shit? I hate how I feel like I need to impress people and I hate how my hips make my shred so god damn motherfucking sporadic. GREAT SESSION good session HORRIBLE session OKAY SESSION mEdIoCrE sEsSiOn?!?!?! Give me some consistency people, please! And people say I'm a consistent player! Fuck that. I hate my style, I hate my game, and I hate how frustrated footbag makes me. I just want to be able to school and not get pissed off and never go to tournaments or jams and never be forced into competing as always seems to happen. Can't people get off my fucking dick when I tell them I don't want to compete? Fuck you Kevin Richey, and fuck you Justin, to a lesser extent. It ruins my enjoyment and it isn't a big fucking deal. It's not like my competing has any sway in the balance of footbag or Rain City Shred as we know it. Also, I can't believe I've been trying the same fucking run for the past 8 sessions and still haven't fucking hit it because I haven't been SOLOING. ARGH! Fuck Byrin and Nick for being everything I want my game to be and I just can't!! Nick hits a run with five 6's in it and I hit 0.1 6's a session. Byrin busts the most ludicruous and consistent shred. Why did I have to pick a sport that my body type is just not conductive at all to? And why did it have to have the best community of players ever? But most of all, FUCK MY HIP. It is the only thing I have to complain about and it lets me complain so much and I feel awful for doing it but shit it is just so fucking easy to point the finger. Stepping whirl on my "good" side is amazingly hard because of that fucking hit. Pixie ss whirl on the same side is easy as fuck, though!! Why can't I just get that shit consistent?!?!

FUCK.

Well, now that I've gotten that out of me it seems a lot more silly and less important. No one take that seriously, please. I'm going to leave it there and not edit it out just because I'd like it as a reminder to my future fearless busting heinous shredder self as to how big of a prick and a cold fool I am.

Peace,

Hey Sam,

I feel what you're feeling. It sucks the big one. My left ankle has been messed up since seattle. I rolled it two days before sjff practising my shred30 in which I was consistantly hitting above 150. At the time I was also averaging 10 guiltless tricks per run (I kept track in a stupid spreadsheet). It felt pretty crappy to arrive in seattle and barely be able to play tiltless, sealing it up the retardness with a last place in shred30.

I still can't hit clippers on that side very well and it used to be my strongside. I try not to let that ruin my footbag fun. That seattle weekend was the most fun I've had in a long time (once i stopped beating myself up over my injury). I think the key is to not compare yourself to other people and to stop caring what other people think about your game. If you cut yourself free suddenly there's like 10 billion other things you can try that won't injure your hip. You don't have to worry about hitting stepping ss whirl because it's just as fun to hit ___ insert crazy unique combo here ___ ... and sometimes it just helps to vent too. I find that writing stuff out can give a broader perspective and lead to new creative solutions. I hope you find your solution.

You need to let me kick the shit out of you so you can get your shit back together, bro.

Fuck it. FUCK YOU BRO. FUCK YOU.

Thanks for the constructive comments, everyone. Yours especially, Dan.

Yeah, Rory, I normally deal really well with it but at the time of the posting I was immensely calorie deprived and very pissed off. The post is definitely not reflective of my overall attitude as a footbagger. For the most part I usually find myself helping other people figure out ways to becoming more contented footbaggers as it's something I've had to really think about a lot.

Stuge47 · Post by **Stuge47** » 24 Apr 2006 15:11
