Brandon Vasos- Feet on Fire.

dblthnk84 · Post by **dblthnk84** » 24 May 2006 15:18

My PLO run lenght was consistantly around 20-21, which is around where I want my runs to be so I'm not too upset. I also tried not to work on them for most of the session so that's all good.

I got a couple 4x Dragonosis so no new records there, but I did put a bit of work into trying to find new tricks out of dragon that were still guiltless.

My new combo was Smear > Dragonosis > XBD Pincher, I want to get something other then a legover to do out of pinchers. I've hit DLO, Symp Mirage, Butterflyer, and another XBD Pincher out of it before. Maybe I should work on those. I have trouble hitting PDX Mirage out of butterflyer, err out of anything, but that would probably be another good trick to work on.

What was I talking about? Err, yeah. Dragons. I worked on trying to get a stepping set out of my dragons on both sides, but that will bea while before I hit even a Steping LegOver consistantly out of them. I really want to get better Dragons. They're so cool.

I also hit a couple flipside Atomsmashers, but those are still very inconsistant, like everything I do.

I think I'm going to go kick again. I want to get together with some of the people out in Michigan to kick, like GF

, but the funds are a little short currently. My bank just let me know that I have 21$ left in my account. Not to much money to buy gas with. Why won't anyone hire me?

Wow. I had a great session this afternoon.

Highlights were:

Magellan > Pixie Pickup > Pixie Pickup > Smear > PLO > Smear > PLO > Dragonosis

DAtW > Pixie Pickup > Pixie Pickup > Magellan > Smear > Symposium Mirage > PLO > Smear > Magellan > Flying Flapper Kick > Hand Catch!

& Pixie Torque Dragon

I feel like I should have done more drilling, but I felt like I was in the zone and wanted to just cut loose and have some fun.

hey man, do you think you would be able to get out to west bloomfield sometime this weekend so we could kick? my car is in the shop and i wont get it back until next week sometime.

I was watching alot of videos last night and really wanted to kick, but couldn't because I'd wake my father up and he always has to get up at 4 or whatever in the morning to go to work. And then I had my wisdom teeth pulled today so I wasn't allowed to kick. At least they gave me happy drugs. Amazingly enough I can still solve all my rubix cubes, including the 5x5x5, and do all my juggling patterns. I just feel really really happy, despite not being able to kick. I'm told that I'm saying funny stuff too, but eh, whatever. I feel good.

This weekend I was housesitting, so I now have some money. I plan on using some of it to visit East Lansing, hopefully I can arrange a day that GF could go there too. But that's still going to be a while off.

This weekend I had fun, even though I didn't get to kick much.

5x Pixie Pickup (this is getting easier now that I've stopped trying to think of it as a Smear bailed to the wrong foot and more of one motion in the air)

And I've been trying to hit stepping out of dragon. Had some decient sets, but no real tricks yet. I think I can get this soon. My dragons are feeling sturdier too, but no new records with them.

I've been trying to come up with some wierd links, and hitting them. It's quite fun.

Didn't get much of a chance to kick these last couple of days, I had to go to Wisconsin to bury my last grandmother. And I've been on happy drugs for a couple of days so that I don't have to suffer from the agonies that were caused when they pulled my wisdom teeth. I went into my basement and was disappointed with how I was kicking, and ended up kneeing myself in the face. Again. This time it wasn't pixie ducking though, or any dex>duck attempt. It was a DAtW. How does one knee themself in the face with a DAtW? That must have been the sloppiest DAtW ever. It's not even a Pixie ss Pickup, it was a freakin' DAtW. At least I still managed to to flick it up in the air afterwards...

But that hurt, I think more so because my entire jaw is still slightly sore from the surgery, so I took a break and went for a walk. I hit some cool link's mid string, including:
... Dragon Osis > PDX Mirage ...
... XBD Pincher > LegOver BSOS ...
... Dragon Osis > Dragon Osis > XBD Pincher > Toe ...
The cool think about those was that they were all mid string and included elements that I'm just starting to try to add to my regular strings; and I was getting some decient strings (mostly around 10 contacts) so I was feeling pretty happy. For some reason I can't get past 4x Dragon Osis. I had that a couple more times today, including some solid sets out of the fourth one, and still managed to always mess up the fifth. Argh!!!

I think I'm going to just take it easy for a while and see what happens.

Oh yeah! I called Zach and we're going to try to get together to kick some time this week! That's going to be sweet. I can't wait to kick with someone again. It's always so much better to have someone to share this hobby with then to continually drill in my basement. I always learn some new (for me) ideas and elements to goof around with too.

I think I'll try kicking a little bit more tonight, but I probably won't blog it unless something amazing happens.

Woohoohoo! Zach came down and kicked with me. It was pretty cool, I had alot of fun. I don't think I did too bad, considering how I've been playing for the most part reciently, but I felt like I could have done a little better. I still hit some really cool stuff.

My tricks:
I sealed a Pixie Torqueing Dragon on my first and only try. And caught my glasses in my other hand. That trick feels so good with the twist, I really like it.
I also hit Dominatrix a couple times, even though I was having trouble catching it. It bounced off my fingers a couple times.
I also sealed a Smog.
My best string of the day was only twelvish (give or take one or two) contacts of shuffle ending with a Beta Smear that I sealed. That was pretty cool.
Oh yeah, I hit smear>atomsmasher and had an atomic set out of my flip atomsmasher. I still have a bit to go with that challenge.
And I had my secret bounce off my toes severial times. I'm really getting close to hitting this trick.

Zach's stuff:
Whirlygig
Spining Pdx Whirl
Witchdoctor
Backside Blur
Blurry Whirl
PS Whirl
and generally much longer stings than I was hitting.

It was alot of fun, we even goofed of with alot of sets and stuff. I think I did that fairy ss flying clipper thing that someone was mentioning, along with wonton, quantum (mirage/legover), and flailing. I really came close to a pixie wonton. I can't really hit much out of those yet, but they were up time. He was showing me alot of nuclear tricks and I forget what else. I think he did some quantum stuff too.

That's all I can remember, so if I forgot anything important I guess he can fill in the blanks or it wasn't that important.

We're going to try and kick again next weekend. That'll be a blast!

Oh yeah! My new black lavers came in! The new design that looks freakin' sweet! I can't wait to cut them up, even though I think I'm going to keep the toe box this time. I'm not sure if I'll use the tubing mod, or what though. Maybe some new shoelaces would be enough to take care of it. They're so pretty!

Today was fun. I'm still breaking in my new lavers. They look so pretty! They're the new black and white ones that Adidas is selling now, I wonder if they are bigger then the old ones. They feel it, but that might just be because my old ones are a couple years old.

I had two great sessions today. Both around 45 minutes long. I'm working on extending my practice times slowly. I wanted to kick more, but the pain in my right leg started getting stronger so I decided enough was enough.

New records:
Pixie Legover x34
Pixie Pickup x10

Drills:
Magellan > PLO x2 (8 contacts)
DAtW > PLO x1 (6 contacts)
Tap > PLO x1 (5 contacts)
Symp. Mirage > PLO x1 (7contacts- so close!)
Smear > Pix. Pickup x1 (7 contacts- heartbreaking!)
XBD Pincher > LegOver x1 (4 contacts- I know I can do better, only tried this one once)

Today felt very productive.

I only got to kick for around 20 minutes today, but I'm ok with that. My leg was acting up a bit today, so I figure it's best to take it easy. (Not that I really did that...) I knew the session would be short going into it, so I planned on only practicing my Pixie Legover's. I got 39 on the third or fourth try, and decided that was a good note to leave off on for that. So I was goofing around with some of the bigger sets. I managed to hand catch 2 different sets that were worth 4 adds apiece. Juantomic was no real supprise, because I've done that before. Warping was. Since I was able to do the first two dexes up time I'm going to work on it until I can hit Warp. I've always wanted to hit that trick. The bag peaked around mid thigh for both of them so I wasn't able to hit anything out of them, but I figure if I keep working on them it's only a matter of time. At least I was able to snag the hand catches.

Now I'm off for a birthday dinner at Olgas. I love their Three Cheese. Yum yum.

Had a great session last thursday in Ann Arbor with Zach and Adam. Adam his shooting star. We had alot of fun, and drew some crowds. I wonder if I would have collected any money if I tossed my hat on the ground. My hightlight of the shred was when the bag passed around twice in a row where all three of us had long strings filled with sick tricks. Very sweet.

This weekend was pretty boring, but I had another 10 unique contact string and feel that I am making progress with flip atomic and both fairy sets. That should add a large selection of tricks to my strings.

Hopefully Zach, Mark, and I will get a chance to kick today. We are currently trying to get a time set. That should be great.

I am also trying to figure out if I will be able to afford a trip to funtastics. The money is a little tight for me at the moment, but I have always wanted to go to that tournament.

Today was great. Zach, Mark and I all got together in Sterling Heights to kick. This was cool because Mark had quit, but after today I think it's safe to say that he has the bug again. He was hitting some sick tricks, along with Zach. I had a couple nice runs (18 toe shuffle, a sting of shuffle and Symp. Mirage BSOS that had to be close to 30 contacts, and 23 PLO's on the first try for a run of them).

I hit whirl for the first time. Almost had it on the flipside too, probably would have got it if I hadn't stepped on my ankel twice in a row. That hurts. Maybe I should work on clipper stuff again. Nah. I like my toe shuffle and pincher stuff. If anything I'm going to work on dragons.

Instead of pixie miraging mirage, I'm trying the third dex symposium. It's still rolling off my foot, but I think I'm going to hit it soon. That's going to be a sweet trick when I get it.

Are you talking about Mark S? I thought that kid disappeared from the scene? I hope he keeps kickin. He had potential.

Props by the way...

EDIT*

You should DEFINITELY go to FUNTASTIK !!!!

That tourney is SOO fun...

dblthnk84 · Post by **dblthnk84** » 03 Jul 2006 18:16

Yup, it was Mark Swartz. He had, but Zach and I dragged him out kicking and screaming. It sounds like we're going to try and kick weekly, which should keep him hooked.

I have been wanting to go to Funtastics for a couple years now, but I always have money issues around this time of year and I'm not sure how I could get there this year. I'm going to try looking around at a couple of ideas, maybe this is the year I make it.

I almost forgot, but I hit smear>atomsmasher on both sides for you- but I still haven't linked them up.

NICE!! On both getting Mark out of an early retirement AND the smear > atomsmasher bs. Linking them is fun. I dont think I have hit it twice in a row (8 contacts), but I know I want to!

Good luck making the money to go to the tourney.
Id lend you some, but , well IM GOING TO WORLDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am thinking I am going to go every year from now on. Its like killing two birds with one stone. Except there are way more that two birds...

I finally finished another challenge.

Other then that I've been forcing myself to drill alot of two guilts. I'm hoping that that will extend my run length and string variety. I am noticing a large difference in my fairy sets. I even hit fear out of PLO's on both sides severial times today. Other then Nagellam and Fairy SS Mirage (both of which are more consistant and looking nicer) this is the first time that I've hit a fairy trick out out anything.

I don't think I'll be able to swing Funtastiks, but I'm saving every penny I can and looking for ways to scrape together a couple extra bucks. I might be able to go as is if I don't compete. That would be very cool too, but I want to help the sponcers out and try some of those events.

Good stuff on the drills!

Even if you cant compete because of money, you should go to Funtastik. Just by going you are helping out the sport, which is really important.

dblthnk84 · Post by **dblthnk84** » 18 Jul 2006 16:54

I got the mofo! I finally pulled off that Smear>Atom Smasher drill.

I'm able to toss in the ocasional fairy or atomic set in the middle of my runs. I'm having trouble with my flip fairy, but it's comming along. Other than that I've been working alot on my basics. I'll do runs of nothing but pixies, fairies, legovers, or pickups and I think it's helping my string length and control. Or it might be that it's been playing every day for almost 2 weeks. The last couple days I've been even gone an hour and a half each.

I've been playing alot of footbag, and it feels really good, but I feel like I've been neglecting the rest of my hobbies. Oh well, I guess they'll have to get over it.

Great session today. My runs were alot shorter then I expected for the most part, but I had alot of fun and hit some new stuff. What I can remember is:

Fairy Butterfly
Fairy Firefly
and the cleanest Wanton Mirage that anyone has ever hit. Ever.

I know there was more, but I'm not thinking of them. And since I'm lazy anyone interested can read about the rest here:

I was intending to practice my fairy sets and dragons, but somehow ended up spending most of my practice add hunting. I believe that I hit the easiest possible 6 add. It was a Fairy Gryo XBD Heel Catwalk sort of thing.
