Ah yes.....will be there unless I break my legs in a horrible crunking accident, which also dismembers/disables hundreds of other crunkers, and leaves the city in a state of mourning.

Outdoor session??
Yes! I finally don't work! My back is killing me, but I seemed pretty fine yesterday. I need to go for a bike ride anyway. In 8 minutes I can take more Robexecet and Tiger Balm!!! (I've been drugged up on this combo non-stop --except one 6-hour period where I ran out -- for days!)

I've been dying to play!

Doesn't buying from worldfootbag.com support the IFPA, or something? I don't know. I haven't bought Lavers for ages. My last pair I got for cheap off of Amazon, because David Wilder let me know that they were selling for, like, $30 a pair!!! (my first pair cost me $120!) So maybe check out online stores and ask around on the forum (maybe the selling/buying section), or getting started.

That was a super fun session for me! My highlight was the fog and gyro dlo beesauce :D

We need music every session! That made it so good!



I'd like to say that you should check out my website to learn tricks, but the basic tricks filmed are REALLY bad examples. I am going to refilm all the moves (including basics) when I go home for Christmas with Andrew Grant (since he has such impeccable form!)

Yeah, no kidding!!
But you know what? My back is fine! I think I am finally getting over that pain (it's still bad, but MUCH better!) Seriously...it was, like, 5 when we were wondering the time, and then another half hour at least... that was a LOOONG session :D

Johnny Superman told me he wants to come out again soon too!! (Hopefully when I'm not working!)

Yes yes yes! Great session everybody. Glad I'm not the only one who's going to have to take a couple days to recuperate, heh.
My highlights were Blurriest midrun, some Nuclear sets, and I dunno, playing outside in great weather!

By the way, I ran into someone with Lavers at York today... I don't remember his name, unfortunately... He says he's out of practice by a couple years, but was still hitting Pdx Mirages and stuff rather consistently. So I gave him a card, and hopefully we'll see him around here!

Great work again yesterday, everybody! I'll see you all very soon!

Alex, I'm glad to see you on here and I'm glad you got together with some people to shred! :)

Happy Belated Birthday Josh! I wish I had remembered or come on here in time! :(

Was the guy at York named Jared? That was who I played with all the time when I went there a few years ago. I met him on the 2nd day of school- he was playing in a circle wearing the same red Lavers that I had. It was fucking godsent!

SO WHO SAW JORDEN ON BREAKFAST TELEVISION THE OTHER DAY?! I stumble out of bed the other morning, turn on the tv ( I ALWAYS watch CP24) and they introduce JORDEN MOIR and I was like WTF?!

He did so well, but THAT ASS! I've been wanting to shred on Breakfast Telivision for ages! :evil: It was really cool though.

Sorry I'm out of it lately guys... Mike, I got your message, sorry I haven't responded yet. I will soon. Life is crazy right now, and not even in particularly good ways...

I hope I see you all soon.

S'up all. Just wasting time while I should be writing my overdue paper...
I'm really stoked to come back to the t-dot and sesh as much as possible, I play a lot here with one of my roommates, but it's nice to have a little variety in the circle...
Yeah, hit my first triple dex today...
Ok, I'll admit it, that's really the only reason im posting, but I swear it was awesome! So I hit pixie barrage, and then I was like- ! and my roommate was like - !!
It's really lost in the telling, but yeah!
Anyways, I'm back on december 13th, so I'm down for any sessions that are desired between that point and the new year. See you dudes soon.

My brother's favourite actor is Sam Neil.

EDIT: Oh, props on pixie barrage. Where do you live?
EDIT 2: I'm so excited for footbag! I think my back is better -- I'm off pain killers now. My legs are still sore from Sunday, though!! Now I need to go back on ibuprofen for my knees ¬_________¬

FAT blog is so awesome!

Nice Alex! What kind of Lavers did you get? Mesh? If you want help modding them I'm sure any of us would be happy to. The pair of mine you tried on had the inner material on the inside surfaces taken out, the basic toe-box mod and material around the ankle trimmed (called a brockut), and the insoles replaced with spencos (or some other athletic insole).

Well, my legs feel better now. I'm up for a session whenever. I'm off all next week so if you want to play at any time- let me know! Please!!

You ever take Flax seed Erik? My doctor recommends it as a natural anti-inflamatory. Might be good for your knees instead of all that ibuprofen....

Im pretty sure i grabbed myself a pair of meshes...from Adidas.ca...That would be rly great if you guys could help me with the basic mods...I'm not to keen on the idea of doing surgery on a pair of shoes that i shelled my own dough out for and i may screw up...that would suck.

Yeah, another session would be killer, now that i know its normal for my legs to be sore for a few days im feeling better! haha...

Ooohhhh... new Lavers!

Alex: I wanna be the one to help you mod them! Please please please! Hahah. It's been a while since I've done real mods, but I have real good modding tools and I've NEVER screwed one up and would love to show you everything you need to know.

Hahah, now that I'm done sounding pathetic...

My legs are ready for more shred now too. I played for about 2 hours yesterday in Vari Hall at York U, doing well with a bunch of 30-40 contact relaxed runs and consistent 10+ guiltless. Man there was crazy activity in there! Me and a couple friends were kicking leisurely, there were a couple skateboarders doing their stuff, and about 8 people doing some huge jump-rope sessioning and inviting EVERYONE to come try... I was in footbag mode, and couldn't get used to the rhythm change, heh, and everyone wanted to see some footbag jump-roping... but I realized that feet just don't leave the ground long enough to pull that off.

Sam: I well certainly be up for a couple sessions in that window while you're here. Can't wait to bust some smokin' shred. Props on your Pixie Barrage man, that's so cool.
