Sweet progress! Much props to Janiwalker and flip ripstein. Whirling swirl bsos!!

I definitely chose the right person to make tester bags. :)

I never thought I'd invent a footbag move, and now (I think) I'm super close!!!

after skooling symple drifter and merlin(down time back side toe blur) I thought "why not put them together???

So, a downtime blurry symple drifter!!! I've had it off my foot about 3 times and my legs have at least an hour of kicking left in them today....

SO... whos hit it b4 :?: :?: :?:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My hips said "NO THANKS" to that move during the second half of the session, so if I can hit it, it will have to wait till sat.
Instead worked ripstien, swivel, motion, and janiwalker (couldn't hit any, grrrr). The other three felt good and got them all bs several times. Need to remember to work whirr next session.

I can't believe how many AWESOME stichers there are now a days. I bet the amount of stichers has gone up 10x in the last few years... I'm very impressed, keep posting pics :D

I'm so addicted to whatching Jordens session vids. Especially the early ones. Now that I can hit whirrs and jani, moves I thought improssible less than a moth ago, I am incredibly motivated by checking out his vids... he almost looks human!!! Also the ULTIMATE footbag portal has reintroduced me to some killer 02 vaska footage.. my favorite year for his shred (on vid).

Really pumped for tomorrows session. Going every-other-day has been hard but the results are there. Diet has been in check and looks like it will be since another Eugene visit isn't schedualed for 2 weeks. Maybe back to 160 by SJFF?>.... I sure hope so!

I WILL hit weak jani tomorrow :twisted:

Had a nice public shred today. Felt pretty decent, but when the camera went on and I tried my new tricks I juts kept choaking!!! grrrr... ohh well, thats life, still had some fun and we got some nice sots (NO TRIPOD WOHHH)

we'll see if james can actually get it put out as he is a few parts shy of definatly being able to do it this week.

And AG, I haven't remembered to work that move since that one day, hopefully I'll seal it up in a solo session soon, and maybe on camera in a month or 2.

I am gunna be starting a 40 hour a week, on my feet, job. I still plan on training and shredding hard... we'll see if all you old folks have any validity in your "too buisy and tired to kick" :wink:

Yes so real life has started.. good old 9-5, except its actually 11pm-7am... Which makes regular training sessions not as easy. BUt I'm stilll doing it. I can definatly see a point where I might not care much about being better than I am, but I still think its a ways down the road.

I'm going to try to flame less... I just made 2 flame-free posts!!! We'll see how long that lasts.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my newest video, it means allot, ESPECIALLY amoung the VAST amount of crazy good footage that has come out since The King of Footbag.

Ok I think I'm done with my non-flaming phase... Time to go view unread posts :twisted:

Thank you for the replies in my video thread! It certainly makes my day to see comments :D I'm gunna be making a big SJFF vid...I'm finding songs and brainstorming shots as we speek, I hope everyone likes it.

So I'm working 40+ hours a week, traveling to Eugene once a week to visit friends, and still finding, scrath that, MAKING time to shred at least 4 time a week. Things are good.

In compairing my first 2 solo session vids I am thinking for the next while I will be focusing more on my second vid. i feel like my fearless/shuffle game is as far as I have ever wanted it to get, and I will never get as good as Pimpske or Clever, however there is miles to go in my untraditional game. Today I hit outside set dimwalk, inside set legbeater, simple swirling drag(easier than saying spinning outside, I CAN'T DO dragon... it's NOT a "the" dragon, it's a drag 8) ) ect... I'm a ways from hitting all of these mid run and consistantly, but I think this is what I'll be working till the end of the year.

Later shred headz,

After sharing some pm's with the outsider, having 2 bauched sessions with Riley Stark, whatching some recent videos (and comments) and doing some real life stuff, I've decided I need to change some things...
Freestyle is temperarily going on the backburner and my camera will be collecting dust. Not for long though, I just have some goals I need to proove to myself I can do.

Heres a scrapped vid I was putting together:

Haven't heard from you in a while... you should give me a call when you get a chance. Taking a break from the old freestyle eh? Well probably not a bad thing, you should be focusing on moving back to Eugene anyway. :wink:

I haven't kicked since seattle, busy with work and can't find the motivation in the cold. It's easier when there is someone else to kick with. I'm sure I will pick it all back up again when either you move back or Aaron gets back from the marines.

Well hope all is going well and work and family are well.
