Yeah im back from the dead.

LOL well not exactly, but this blog has been dead for a while so let me update you all

even though i havnt been posting im still shredding every chance i get. the weather has sucked and i been sick for a while but other than that im still shredding my ass off.

Alot of my work has gone into being a strong Tiltless/guiltless player

My runs consist of more than half guiltless tricks but i still lack a variety of giultless bail tricks.

So i been working on my osis bs paradox mirage bs whirl bs, butter fly is getting really good on my flip finally

I been hitting paradox whirl consistently and if you give me 5 trys i can hit a pheonix very cleanly.

my most recent new trick has been datw one side one direction. i do try other directions and flipside but its far from being anything physically possible.

But hitting it on my strong side cleanly has motivated me to start learning barrage, im gonna show tom my form on sunday and see what he says.

Stepping set STILL sucks balls, i still cant do anything with it except a leg over :( and the flip side is pathetic.

I been schooling ducks and dives often i can clip>duck>clip Bsos fairly well.

really what i have practiced the most is run length, i would say i average 10 contact runs and sometimes can push up 20, especially of late i have been getting exhausted much faster due to the fact my runs are so much longer

SEE YOU SUNDAY

Dude, can't wait to see you again. Barrages coming my way soon. School them up. Also, the fact that you can do flip satw is huge. I think flip datw has a prerequisite to suck for a while, but you gotta keep on it ;) and itll be there in no time.

Hey man, I need to ask a big favor from you. Would you happen to have 8 tent stakes I can borrow for this Sunday? I might need them to hold down a second 4 square court I'm making. I'll be on AIM when I get off work, maybe we can chat then.

Like always a shred weekend loaded with better players im again UBER motivated to shred alot more and alot harder

The day after finally getting my shoes back long story, i get to practicing

did 40 clips BS

20 pdx mirage bs

drill infinity and osis a little bit

Hit swirl first time


Hit flip toe whirl first time


Hit 2 flip whirls back to back first time


and hit Pixie-whirl (flip pixie to strong whirl-op toe) FIRST TIME !!!!

I like swirl its kind of coming natural with a few days of drilling i think i may be able to bust it mid run. I love that im finally getting a decent clip game, im still missing osis and flip butterfly and stepping. But my whirls pdx mirage bubba ducking clipers ducking butterflys is all coming along very nicely.

Its a nice change from all the fast moving tiring toe shuffle that i have been very attacthed to since the beginning of my shred days. Its a nice balance and has helped with my endurance and run length to mix in an equal amount of cross body tricks.

PEACE OUT HOMMIES

I seriously think i need someone two spend a good two hours with me training my osis.

For some reason i can practice every trick and feel that im making progress, osis feels like its just as shitty as it always was

i cant fucking take practicing that god dam trick anymore its so aggravating to feel like im never gonna learn how to do it well and consistently on both sides.

Im just fucking angry as hell about it, and that does not make it easier to learn at all

thats what i have resorted to.

Its funny cause i can do tricks like pixie osis and crispy torque, but i cant do osis out of clip

WTF

whatever, im happy to be doing stepping tricks finally so that eases my osis aggravations
