Don't forget: if you get hookers be sure to be a gentleman and bring a box of wine. Or some Champaign. The ladies love that.
The hookers should be buying some champaigne for jamie to celebrate the loss of his virginity. :lol:

Wow! Huuuuge session!

Sunday 15th October
Length:
3 hours
Drilled: BOPs, Illusion, Whirl, Drifter, Stepping, Rubberman, Fairy.

So coooooool. First hour was hard because all I'd had were dodgey noodles with no nutritional value and a cup of coffee, which dehydrated me... but once I got a bunch of water in me I felt a lot better.

BOPs went well. ss osis > pdx mirage was pretty controlled, didn't count but it was good.

Osis > Whirl rpt was really good. Whirls are feeling really great at the moment, especially clipper/osis set. got 16 contacts I think? something like that anyway.

Other whirl drilling went well too. Pdx whirl is still really awkward. It's hard because my clipper sets are straight, and I have trouble turning across for the dex so it's pretty bunched up on my flipside ATM. Nevertheless got 6 consec :)

Blurry Whirl > Stepping Whirl about 4 of 5 times each side. Will definately get rpt this week.

Blurry Drifter > Drifter rpt done. Took longer than I anticipated, kept footing strong blurry drifter for some reason :lol:

Also got Blurry Drifter > Tombstone strongside. Couldn't get it flip. Soon. Another goal for this week.

Fairy Legover x2

Got 24 illusions first try, 26 a few minutes later. Pretty happy with that. Flipside was PATHETIC but I think most of that was not having found my groove on it yet for that session. I just ignored it :D

Pdx Drifter: 4 consec flipside and 12 consec strongside! Both first try. The 12 is supposedly an aussie record, but I expect jeremy and probably dan can beat that pretty easy. I was shocked to get 12 though, haven't tried consec pdx drifters in ages. Need to bring my flip up to speed.

Rubberman: 7 contacts, of course. I think I might just stop caring.... I'll get it one day, getting angry about it won't help.... ARGGHH! Stupid rubberman.

Worked rubberman with illusions a bit more again. Didn't get very far but I was starting to wither by then and that is a REALLY tiring drill.

New move: flip Predator. Pretty easy too.

Cool combos: Toe whirl > Spinning xbd flapper delay
xbd flapper delay > pdx whirl

It would be cool to get those three in a row.

Oh, tried drifter > vortex rpt a bit more but couldn't be bothered mostly.

I think that's it. Well there's probably more but I can't remember. Oh yeah! osis > blazing infinity really easy. Felt good! Couldn't get it other side though. Blazing is seriously weird... my flipside changes every other day :( lol


Life rules!!! Soon I'll have my license back and then it'll be even better. About time my life started looking up. Booya.

It's my bro's birthday today but I haven't seen him all day. Hm.

Monday 16th October
Length:
1 hour
Drilled: Whirl, BOPs.

Drilled whirl a looooot. Pdx mirage sucked major today so didn't drill bops much.

osis > whirl rpt felt friggen awesome 20 contacts.
whirl > drifter rpt pretty sick too. 15 contacts
ripwalk > whirl rpt. Pretty hard. Can't remember how many contacts. 8-10 I guess. Pretty awkward though. That's cool, i'm enjoying getting better at whirls. They feel really good now. Pdx whirl still pretty awkward though.

Blurry whirl > stepping whirl bs a few more times. Flip is really hard because my set is straight as on the step, and I can't get across far enough for the whirl, so it's all bunched up.

3 days of shred in melbourne... rocked.

Went to the Squire brewhouse, rocked too.

New stuff:
Backside Reactor (I'm thinking... "Flatulance" as a nickname?"
Whirling Swirl
Gyro Symple Swirl really easily haha
Came super close to ripstein. Don't really care that much about it though.
Also blurry whirl > stepping whirl rpt - all really clean dexes but just missed the last catch :( sucked. oh well, close.
Couple more awesome blurry grifters. sickest move.
Whirr bsos, booya. While warming up waiting for Janis. And I hit the weakside midstring not to start the string haha.

Guess I won't be on modified as much with the whole job thing (which the first day of pwned today, by the way) doesn't really bother me though. Just have to get better at skim reading :lol: probably can't shred as much either but I'm hoping I can discipline myself more in that department. Gonna go shred now. Yeah.

Janis is too kind.

So that's what whirl war 2 is!

October 23rd
Length:
1 hour
Drilled: BOPs, Illusion, Whirl, Stepping, Ducking.

Stepping was alright, BOPs were good, Illusion felt good.

Whirls pretty good. Set felt a tad shifty on flipside but made some headway fixing that.

Ducking felt great. Getting a lot better at flipside. Diving clipper > Ducking clipper rpt a couple of times.

Most of all I'm just glad I pushed myself to shred, that's gonna be an important thing for me now.

Sick pete! almost whirr bsos that's nuts. Nuke ss butter is called barfry btw. I don't wish I had hunter green goonits... I wish I had browne suede lavers. Not to shred in, just to wear, cause they're so damn hot! in fact I'm getting my bro to buy them for me for christmas. They will be mine :twisted:

And thanks Tom! Which one is that... the "vampires" one or the "crazy" one? I keep saying I'll film another one... the current plan is to film it on saturday week... we'll see how that goes.

Saturday November 4th
Length: 1 hour 10 mins

Drilled: BOPs, Clippers, Illusion, Drifter, Whirl, Stepping, Blazing.

Fun sesh.... cause I haven't played in almost two weeks! geez. Slack. Job is rocking hard though, yeah.

So, highlights.

All the basics still real solid, happy with that. Osis > Bubba is a cool drill... as is osis > whirl. And I got 12 contacts of far osis > drifter rpt. Deceptively hard drill. Also 12 contacts of whirl > drifter rpt. Happy with that. Blurry whirl like... footed the fourth consec.... but getting better. stepping ruled, of course. Ran out of energy for blurry whirl > stepping whirl rpt though, piked. I'm such a sook.

Newies:
ss DLO starting and ending on inside delay.... cooool! :)
Symp Blazing Infinity and Pdx Mirage... sick! Gotta be right on form though... that's a knee killer if done wrong. i'm doing them right though. Only time it tweaked my knee a bit is when I messed it up, otherwise it was just fine.
blazing pdx whirl :D
Came real close to symp whirling ss symp butterfly.... styleyyyy!! (Crazy styyyyyle! ;)) and and and.... what else was it...... oh yeah... had a few goes at gyro bubba beater. None really close but it feels really cool. Must learn to beat eggs properly first.

Hit Blurry Flux yet?

On a less demanding note...... I hit my first 6. Food Processer, but of course. It came as a bit of a shock that I got it, and have hit it 4 or 5 times since. I also hit Flip Pdx Blender, which felt awesome.
