So in may and early june i schooled my ass off. I was getting REALLY good, and was finally throwing down hard links in runs. My stepping was super consistant on both sides, and i was able to duck both atomics. I could throw in tapping drifter/torque bs, and sometimes atomic in runs. Blurry drifter and whirl either side was normal in a string.

Now, since i was sick for 2 weeks, and my ankle is now hurt (WTF, when did that happen?) My game has been stepped down 12 notches. A ripwalk is hard. BOTH sides. I cant hit side>rip repeat.

Atomic? That has always been my bread and butter. Nope. Now flip atomic hurts my hip.

I have tried to take time off, but then i come back and something else gets hurt because the time off gave it too much downtime.

I cant hit a paradox drifter.

i dont get it. My game has just gone down the shitter, even though i have been playing EVERYDAY.

Le sigh

Gosh, I hope it wasn't something you did the other day.

My legs were completely burnt out until just yesterday.

If you feel you're injured, rest for at least a few days, then come back to it slowly.

As my brother always says - "Take 'er easy!"

Im not sure when it happened. But i cant play today. My ankle barely supports me. Sorry steve

S'alright. I probably need a few more days of rest to recover from Sunday. :P

could that be why? i know after a few days of shredding my game goes up and then back down. rest up for a day or two. resist the evil footbatg

and take care of that ankle! we don't want our dairy state treasure injured.

it's phat that you have someone to play with now.

p.s. I also struggle w/ p drifters

Yeah, man, playing every day for longer than a week isn't the way to go, I don't think. You don't give your muscle memory any time to reset and soak in and you don't give your muscles any time to rebuild themselves. imo, at least. Hope you recover soon, you really were starting to tear it up.

Sounds kinda like what I am going through, minus the part about ever being any good.

I took up weightlifting, which makes the situation a lot more bareable. Plus, you'll get chicks!

Thanks guys.

Hey zach, are you going to midwesterns? What is the situation there? Shoot me a pm if you read this

Well. I think i might play today. I recently found this song, and i really like it. And i want to make a video to it. But im not sure how I'll play. Especially in front of the camera. So... expect a crappy video today. probably

duuuuuuuuuuuddddddde, that sucks! Looked like you broke it, could have been worse i think, your lucky, sooooo close to 6!!!!

SandWraith · Post by **SandWraith** » 08 Jul 2006 15:54

Damn, your paradox whirls are good. I can't really tell what happened to your ankle-- did you tweak it or sprain it? Either way, it can't be good.

Maybe time for a bit of parkour practice while you let it heal?

HG · Post by HG » 08 Jul 2006 17:15

luckily that was just a scare, and my ankle is fine

I dont know why, but i just stopped practicing parkour. I think i stopped so as to not injure myself for footbag.

And thanks for the pdx whirl praise

i put a lot of effort into schooling them

its so fucking hot and humid i cant do any runs. its frustrating. so i guess its a time where i can work 5's so they are consistent to throw in runs

SandWraith · Post by **SandWraith** » 14 Jul 2006 15:57

Yeah, it's hot up here too. Props on all the whirling. I've always thought whirls looked super cool.
P.S. Nathan P. said he'd make me a bag.
