Oh no, you hit 102! Did you stitch your legs back on or something?!

thx

Wednesday 16th August
Length: 1 hour (sooo weeeaaak)
Drilled: BOPs, Illusion, Osis, Stepping, Atomic, Spinning.

Spinning went well. Spinning Pdx Mirage bsos twice in the one run. Spinning clipperx5 both sides. My flipsider has become my strongside... weird. et isn't quite straight on my old strongside so that makes it harder. I feel like a chocolate teddy bear biscuit. Oh, I got void midstring too. And vortex super easy. Spinning whirl damn easy too. My form will be terrible though... whirls suck hahaha.... must drill those hmm....

Stepping still sitting at that same level. I'll break through it one day. Hit Rubberman again. Fairly easily too.

Illusions were much better too. I think that's more my flip clipper set improving though (as I drill clipper > bubba > clipper > pdx illusion rpt)

Osis was terrible. lol. Couldn't help but laugh.

Thursday 17th August
Length: 1 hour 30 mins
Drilled: Spinning, BOPs, Stepping, Atomic, Dyno.

Stepping went well tonight. Still sitting at that threshold but feeling very confident. To be able to hit stepping clipper > sidewalk > ripwalk rpt cleanly, confidently and consistently makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Also drilled crispy torque > ripwalk rpt. Think I got close to twice through... not sure.

Hit Rubberman again. Took me a while but I was getting 50-90% through it really easy. The last legbeater seemed to screw me up a bit. Oh this was the other side to which I'd been hitting it before.

Oh oh! Omellete > Legbeater > Blizzard bs. Rubberman (Illusion mix) here I come!

I got 6 Dyno's but the first was extremely the.... I think Dyno is my new trick to drill when I'm tired. Breaks up the rubberman attempts

spinning was wack tonight. oh well. i've got that warm tired fuzzy feeling you get after exercising hard sometimes. mmm.

Saturday August 19th
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Drilled: Stepping, Atomic, BOPs, Illusion, Dyno, Spinning, Blazing.

Stepping still at that threshold... will break it soon...

Atomic went well today. Worked on omelette and tapping Illusion.

omelette b2b
Blizzard > Omelette > Legbeater bs (On flipside I kept going but dropped the second omelette... getting close!)

Oh, Rubberman again, really easy.

Flip Dyno improved a lot. I concentrated on form and what I do on strongside, and I got some real nice ones out. Think I got 5 or 6 rpt... I dunno.

Spinning I couldn't be bothered with, didn't skool it long...

Messed around with Blazing a bit. Hit blazing butterfly bs although I'm pretty sure I've hit those before. I hit Whirling ss Butterfly the other day, styley move. Today I hit Blazing Pdx Illusion bs... I like

They were thin but definately there.

working tonight at a bakery... 10pm-8am... sort of the worst hours imaginable but if I get some consistent work out of it I can deal with that. Also the money should be killer from hours like that... here's hoping!

SandWraith · Post by **SandWraith** » 19 Aug 2006 20:59

Holy crap those are crazy hours. Do you guys do most of the baking overnight? Do you work alone during those hours?

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 20 Aug 2006 00:28

I dunno, tonight's my first night

Tomorrow I plan to brag about how much an hour I get, unless they're illegal and pay crap and then I won't do it. If I'm gonna work those hours, it's gonna be for damn good money thank you very much.

Baking is like that though. All bakers work at night so the bread is fresh in the morning. Usually they start at 3am or something, but I think this bakery supplies the supermarkets so we gotta bake a lot of stuff. And no, you don't work alone.

So you can imagine how last night went. I wish somebody would just shoot me or something, it would be a much more humane and painless death than the one I'm currently experiencing... fuck you world, eat my fucking dick. Sorry for the emo bullshit/swearing, but my life warrants it.

janis · Post by **janis** » 21 Aug 2006 22:53

$8 an hour is shit pay for those hours. I hope you can make it on the weekend, cause it's going to be huge

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 22 Aug 2006 01:04

$8 an hour is shit for any hours, worse than shit, it's highly fucking illegal. That guy is such a dodgey bastard, it's all under the table yet he puts us on apprenticeship wages. You can't do an apprenticeship under the table, it doesn't work, you do not get a qualification, he's just a scummy dodgey bastard. Reckons he can pay more when business picks up... eat a dick asshole if you can't afford to pay your workers then you can't afford to be in business, so fuck off. Can't make it saturday unless a large sum of money miraculously appears between now and then. sorry.

Anyway, back to the only good thing in my life, footbag.

Tuesday August 22nd
Length: 1 hour 30 mins
Drilled: Illusion, BOPs, Steppin, Atomic, Spinning, Tiltless.

Thursday August 24th
Length: 1 hour 45 minutes, cut short by rain

Drilled: Tiltless, BOPs, Illusion, Atomic, Stepping, Spinning, Whirl, DLO

Just all the usual drills, nothing really to report. Was beginning my second rep through rubberman when I ran out of room... damnit! Sucked.

Flip spinning is so annoying, it's like I have to relearn it every session ><

Oh, also I hit Fog bsos.

Awesome weekend in Melbourne

Saturday morning my parents are like, "We're going to melbourne overnight" I'm like orly? interesting... *calls urano, can I stay the night? yeah, cool.* MUM I'm coming with ya

Shredded with Alex on sat for like, just over an hour. We both got wasted real quick, hit nothing of note.

This morning we got up and went hmmm, busk? yeah

so we busked for 40 mins but only got $9... gay. stingy melburnians. Good news was I hit the best string of my life, probably around 40 contacts guiltless, including blurry whirl, torque and spinning pdx mirage.

Then some dudes turned up and asked us for permits... whoops! They were cool though, said we could go around the corner to another street and busk there if we wanted but we weren't getting any money so went to get some food.

Then we met up with Dan at fed square, and Janis, Pat, Lynton and Brendan Erskine turned up too, big gathering for melb! we shredded for a bit at fed... footed atomic gyro drifter a few times for Lynton

then we headed down to alexandra gardens.

Some of the guys set up a net and court for takraw while we shredded some more, Janis filmed a bit, etc. We shredded for a while more than Dan and Scott left, so I stretched down, filmed janis a bit, then played some takraw. Good fun

Having the net made the session 10x better. More people showed up, it went for longer, it was a much more laid back feel, it was just a lot of fun. I hope they keep doing it, really do. Oh and Janis gave us all free coke, booya!

Highlights: Blurtigo - footed it quite a few times! will hit this very soon... sick1?

Symp Phasing Dyno - footed this a few times too, cool trick

A lot of awesome runs with a bunch of 5's in it. Predator to start a run, then fog later in the run. Lots of good shuffle... my run length isn't too good but I'm busting good stuff.

Probably played for about... hmmm.... almost 4 hours... plus an hour of takraw. Big day. Yes, my legs hurt

Sweet day, really awesome. Plus I love china town... mmmm tasty. I'm gonna go eat some mi goreng noodles, hell YEAH!

Hey James. I'd like to see another video of you. I loved that last one and your style is sweet. Looked so smooth and everything looked easy.

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 27 Aug 2006 17:34

Thanks Ron

It's always nice to get feedback like that. I was actually wanting to make a video soon, will probably do so in the next couple of weeks, when I can get my bro to film me, anyway.

If you come and shred in Melbourne I'll film you, it's not like I'll be playing.

BTW those Blurtigo attempts were very close, I'm sure you'll nail it for the camera soon.
