24.6.2006

It was really warm today and no clouds at all!
So of course we shredded at the high school.
I hit both Legbeater and Tapdown BSOS. I'm not sure if it was the first time...
And I got pretty close to some new WRs...

After we started shredding outside, my shin splints got a lot worse

After the shred I went out to skateboard!

I haven't done that in about two years.
I was never that good though...
But after about 10 minutes I could ride it and hit ollie with no problemo!

I also hit my first Pop-Shove It!

28.4.2006

I was supposed to go watch/listen some finnish ska and punk rock bands, but nobody else wanted/couldn't come

So instead I went to shred.
Good thing, I did

14 Pigbeaters - World Record!
21 DDDs - World Record
19 DLOs (the WR is 25).
My runs were really bad again...
I practiced my routine too.
One week until Todexon!!!

---

Time for a guitar-improvement-check:

I can play almost all of the Ramones songs on the We're Outta Here Live Album (and of course other songs too)

I just learned how to play ska

I still suck at the basic chords

I need to practice those...
I own some really nice riffs like Iron Man, a lot of Rancid, a couple from Iron Maiden...
I sometimes don't press the strings hard enough in power chords, so it sounds pretty shitty.. but hey! It doesn't matter cos I play punk rock!!

... what else...
some Clash songs... a few from NOFX... american jesus from bad religion... some dropkick murphys....
...lately some ska-songs from rancid and operation ivy...

Oh yeah: OPERATION IVY FUCKIN' RULZ!!!!
