Oh yes, going to the US Open! My first footbag tournament.

Hit gyro flux fairly clean a couple times yesterday.

Just got back from the US Open Championships. It was so awesome. Everyone was very cool. Made many new friends.

The shred was SICK. Wait till' you see the videos...

I'm sore, but pumped to start shredding hard again when my legs heal up.

My first time meeting Jim Penske was competing against him in the 2nd round of Most Rippin' Run. (obviously I lost that round...but I didn't mind too much

)

Final circle in the Circle Comp. was Nate, Jim, Dave, & Jorden

The routines were on a huge stage in front of hundreds of people in Portland and the routines were awesome!

Some sickening tricks were hit in every shred session.

Hey it was awesome meeting you and Evan at US Open. You are good and Evan is fucking AMAZING. Zipper set Mullet (once in pants) and Superduperfly???!?! That kid is insane. For only having two guys who shred in Las Vegas your city is damn good, way to represent. Keep it up. Peace

Footbag is hard.

Whatsup?

professor · Post by **professor** » 30 Aug 2006 14:36

Nothing, just footbag is a pain in the butt sometimes. Well, most of the time.

I've been playing a lot and I realize how many things I need to work on and it frustrates me.

Footbag is great!

Over the past week or so.

blurry whirl > stepping whirl > rpt (Finally! And perfect too.)
blurry whirl > sidewalk > rpt x2
DLO > ss DLO > rpt (I hate DLO's.)
drifter > pdx drifter > rpt (Huge for me.)
pdx torque > rpt

professor · Post by **professor** » 07 Sep 2006 21:38

blurry whirl > PS whirl > pdx torque bs (first try on both sides)

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 07 Sep 2006 22:03

Footbag is hard, but I wouldn't have it any other way. That's what makes it so great.

Props on blurry whirl > stepping whirl rpt, it's an aspiration of mine.

It's true though aye, the more you shred the more you realise there's so much more to do.
