Well it's been awhile, so I guess I'll update this.

Had another great session at Encanto Park. Met another new guy, Victor. He's ok, he can toe stall ok on his strong side, and He can barely get it on his flip. The one thing that was impressive was the he got one thousand something consecutive kicks! The only tricks he could do was a crispy pendelum, and flyers. We were working with him on getting his toes pointed straight for He can set them straight up instead of to the side.
Mike was an animol, he was hitting great tiltless runs. He was doing good. His flip side has gotten quite a bit stronger than when we first met!
I had a decent session. It took me forever to warm up, probably seeing as I only played once, and not that hard, since last Wed. Can't remember what I did

Finally got around to doing the article/shred. It's was about time too! There was 5 of us that were there. Johnny B, Sean M, Mike, myself and Ken Somolinos. Unfortunatley none of the new guys were able to make it. We all had a good time. Played for like 5 1/2 hours.
Johnny, was doing pretty good. He didn't burn himself out like he normally does! He was hitting some good runs, He would normally try a combo once then pass it because every now and then He tends to forgat about everyone else. It's sad!
Sean, didn't seem like he was up to standard. He was doing a lot better when we were down for the Founder's Dat event. Other than that, He got a couple of good runs in. I don't know hoe he can hit anything moving so fast, He "rushes" everything, but thats how he plays and I won't try to speed up my game too find out!
Mike, was doing the same as usual. I know it's the same thing over and over but it's the truth! He got some really good tips from Ken about Dyno, DLO and Eggbeater. After a couple of tries at all of them, He was getting them better. Dyno and DLO are trickes Mike likes to use in his runs, and it showed!
Myself, had a really good session. It's always fun to kick with others! Got a couple of new tricks, flip blur and flip diving clip. It was only the second time ever really trying flip blur and I was able to get it 3 times. It was the first time trying flip diving clip, and got it after, I think, the second try. It was a good feeling when I got those two moves. Ken gave me some advice on my torques, it really helped. I'm just gonna have to work the hell out of them.
Ken, well what can I say, all I really can say is that he's an ANIMOL!!!!!!!!! He just keeps getting better and better.
Ken, Mike and myself kicked the longest. We first kicked for about 2 hours or so at a tennis court. Then we went back to Johnny's had some lunch and relaxed in the spa. Since we live so far away, Mike and Myself, we were ready to kick ALL DAY!!!! And we almost did. To finish the day off, Ken decided to try to get a 30 contact string. In the end he got 43 contacts. It was an excellent run!!!!!
On a side note, I have the video all made up and stuff, just need to send it to Ken to see if it's alright to post here.

Had a skooling session. Decided to try my hand at pixie's and atomic's. For me, atomic's a lot easier. I was just working on getting the movement down. Pixie is going to kill me, I like the way it looks and everything you can do out of it, my inspiration came from Ken. I'm gonna work on pixie all summer. 3 out of 10 tries I'll would get a decent set, for pixie. Atomic's was a lot better than that. 6 out of 8 tries I would get a decent set. I'm gonna drill the CRAP out of both of these this summer!
