Rory's Journey
9:38pm... Sick Shred.
My nose is running away! I work in a refridgerator. My classroom is the air conditioning inlet for the entire building. I'm sick and tired.
Anyways... I had an excellent tissue shred tonight. My whirls are feeling better and I've started to try and dex tighter and deeper (closer to my body) rather than more anklish and farther from body. I also realized that on my strongside I totally whirl my drifters, but on my flipside I totally don't! WOAH.
I played Unreal today on Unreal mode. It was UNREAL. I just about pooped my pants when all the lights turned off in that one corridor and the first scoolwag scout jumped out of the wall and killed me dead. What was he doing in the wall all that time anyways, honestly.
I bought a new footbag holder. It's rad. I practised my routine a little bit and added some difficulty. And by difficulty I mean some around the worlds. I can only get to about 30-60 seconds though before I'm plastered. I think I'm going to focus on developing some breathing techniques. Submit.

Yesterday I played at Klondike Days with my cousin Andrew. Klondike is a big carnival activity with rides and rip off games. We had free tickets and I brought 0 dollars to spend. We set up shop right by the big stage by a booth for a radio station. Thus, we were gauranteed both people and music. For some reason my mini abshire smelled either of popcorn or urine so we ended up playing with Andrew's classic 32 panel dirty juice facile.
It was henceforth that I came to the realization that the characteristics of the footbag will also to an extent define the characteristics of the player. Example: The mini abshire is small and heavy and promotes a very aggressive style, whilst the larger lighter juice is all about smooth links and flow.
BACK to the shred, I was having a great time doing bops and spinny ducky runs for spectators. Inspecifically, I hit: ducking butterfly bsos and a run with diving butterfly to gyro mirage. Everything was going great until this one guy joined. He wasn't wearing a shirt and was missing some front teeth. Of course we were polite and allowed him to join our circle. He mostly just passed back and that's it. Then this other guy joined who just HAPPENED to be wearing G-Units. Except he was a complete doofburger. "I"m Rick James BITCH!" He said over and over in his drunken stupor. So whatever... Andrew and I proceeded to blow their fucking minds away with our blades of steel while they stared on all google eyed. Well, I guess this spurred on the toothmissingman to try a trick as well. At first I thought he was going to flick the bag up by doing a summersault... but he definately went for a handstand instead. Pretty impressive... except he IMMEDIATELY started falling backwords onto a (omg!) child and a man in a wheelchair. Now it was my turn to be all google eyed
... as I watched in slowmotion as he kicked the man in the face and landed on the child.
Luckily, the kid and wheelchairman weren't hurt. They still looked absolutely furious though. At just the right moment... our good friend RIck James decided to chime in: "Well what did you expect coming here today? It's part of hacky sack! I"m Rick James Bitch!"
On that note, Andrew and I quickly gathered up our stuff, grabbed the bag, and booked it into the concourse. I could not imagine a more horrible accident. I'm actually still in shock. I can't believe it actually happened.
We decided we're not going to let sketchy looking/drunk fellows join our circles anymore. Safety first. We did play a bit more later on after a suitable elapsation of time. Highlights include making up a routine on the spot to "Walk Like an Egyptian" (A singer was performing it on the stage). I started off by beat matching using symple toe stalls. On the first beat after intro of the song I hit symp mirage to symple ducking toe into a run full of bops. Moving into the chorus I hit ripwalk > ripwalk on the beat when the singer exclaimed "Walk like an Egyptian!" I did about 3 more contacts and then dropped because I was so excited.
...Cause I ripwalked like an egytian or something. It was just one of those moments.

2:55am... Another year, another bowl of cranberry punch.
Another year gone by
With goblet raised I sigh
Too much fun I've had tonight
I close my eyes and feel delight
To know my feet are fast and quick
my future tricks, huge and sick
and so with sleepy head I lay
upon my bed of hay
and dream of future footbag play.
Byrin and I had a monumental new years session tonight.
A lot of sick stuff went down... sometimes even double over down. We even watched Alien and everytime someone said ripley I would think of ripped warrior.
Here are some highlights:
- paradon > blur
- a bunch of 5 > 5's off my foot
- spinning ducking clipper bsos
- finally flip pdx is back to normal
- a routine-styled run played to the music with a knee bumping smear and dimwalk
- darkwalk > pdx drifter
- The passing of the new year musically accompanied by the "Final Countdown"
- pixie clipper > spinning clipper > pdx drifter bs
- RUBBERMAN
- assasin > atomsmasher bs
- alpine legbeater bs
- skull smasher
and to finish it all off with a bang:
- a 27 contact run w/ a bunch of fours
woop woop. Obviously, a night that will live in infamy for ever after.

/START STORY
yeah so as i was saying
i was indirectly raped today
and let me explain
it was a little slow in the shop today
and by slow i mean the store was empty
so alex and I decided to have a bit of a demolition derby with the RC's
alex chose the mini-mauler, a little monster truck with more torque than it could handle
i chose the conservative blue beauty $15 of tiny RC racing fun
to give you some comparison on the sizes of the two rc's
alex's was 5 times bigger than mine
anyways
the first couple rounds went my way
and by my way i mean david's way
and by david i mean david and goliath
the mini-mauler would strike my vehicle
and roll over
blue beauty -> 3
mini mauler -> 0
alex decided to try a different approach
he reversed rapidly and tipped the monstertruck back into a wheely
then he accelerated forward and effectively
mounted the blue beauty (accidentally)
locked in embrace
the two lovebirds carreened into a corner where they became stuck
alex attempted to separate the vehicles,
but in effect ended up humping my car over and over
and over and over
and over and over
and thus I was indirectly raped

11:49pm... good news and bad news
The good news is that I iced my good ankle and it appears to be injury free. I also rigged up my blue lavers to become my premiere footbag shoe.
The bad news is that I played for 5 hours today. 2 separate sessions. One with Byrin early afternoon and one in the evening with Kevin. My legs are so sore... but at the same time it feels so good.
stretches
straight leg
bent knee
hip stuff
drills
- spinning clip > gyro clip > rpt
featherweight
I practised string variety and length today. I tried to throw all the new concepts I've been learning into strings. Byrin and I also played the "20 contact guiltless game". Basically we tried to go for at least 20 contacts every single run. I think my best effort ended up being 30 contacts. BooyAH!
ankle status
done for a while.

11:49pm... I can't get enough sugar.
NET
I played in a local footbag net tournament/bbq today. I arrived late so I had to play 4 single games in a row. There's a bit of a scene developing here in edmonton... Lots of new players. I ended up finishing with 3 wins and 4 losses.
Then we played doubles which is in my opinion the superior game. Luckily, I was paired with the only veteran player to come to the tournament. We ended up finishing 2nd overall after I messed up a bunch of times in the final. We won all the leftover hot dogs and hot dog buns!
JURYIN
- strained hip flexor
- rolled/bruised both ankles
- hooray.
fun times! I'm going to try to play net at least once a week during the winter season. I'll mark it off as cross training for freestyle.
