Chris and Josh wrote the word footbag on the concrete with mustard 1 year ago, and it's still there!

Damn, that mustard thing is cool.

I did it with ketchup once and it works as well too.

haha yeah i know its random how i keep bumping into people that know CIC. i wish Boston Footbag was a household name

this dude was different from the last guy...this dude was kinda short, dark hair. mostly tiltless, footed DATW (he was wearing pants and again apparently hasnt kicked regularly in a bit) and hit smear, magellan, and mirage on one side.
he told me his name but i completely forgot it immediately.

I wish we had more freestylers here!

I like how you remembered everything he hit but not his name.

I thought he might be talking about Eric Bengtson at first cause he told me he visited Boston with his gf over spring break. But that was a week ago. And he has red hair. Weird coincidence though.

Was nathan out of town? Green and white lavers? Footed DATW. sounds like nathan. dark hair?

Its the Star of Beloit alright!

quadgun · Post by **quadgun** » 02 Apr 2007 17:05

But Nathan kicks regularly.

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 02 Apr 2007 19:15

Bengtson has a GF!?
We'll find out sooner or later who that fellow is.

We kicked @ Welles today!
Cuba IM'ed me about it, and he mostly set it up - which is great that Zeke and I didn't set anything up. really different and I like the initiative.

Cuba, Marty, Freddy, Josh and I.
Ross stopped by and Zeke came by at the end after work to play one game of squares.

It was so great because we freestyled! Freddy did too! Really fun. Freddy hit dlo, stepping butterfly. Josh threw in a barfly which was a nice surprise.

I'll be kickin tomorrow. contact me if u wanna join.

I rode my bike 11 miles roundtrip to the spot, and it wasn't so bad. Next time I'll have an audio book on my mp3 player whenever i find it.

I've never been to Boston. But it does sound like me. Were they possibly wearing blue/white lavers? Does the name CJ ring a bell? If so it seems he's made some freakin progress. I will now take partial responsibility for that progress.

So how's this for a short story: I was practicing in Grant Park across the street from the office building where I work. I've decided to push myself harder during practice - 20 attempts of all my 2-dex moves & selected other 3-adds I've hit or am working on, unless it takes more than 20 attempts to land it, plus 10 attempts of all 2-adds, both sides, except for minimum 50 attempts of weak side clipper.

So after a little more than an hour, I was out of water & thirsty. But still needed to practice pixie pickup, double-over down, weakside terrage, paradox mirage & ducking clippers. So I went back across the street for a smoothie. About 5-10 minutes later I came back to Grant Park.

And I heard, very faintly, what sounded like somebody calling for help. Then it stopped, and I wasn't sure what I had heard. Then I heard it again: "Help me somebody help me". So I grabbed my shit and headed in the direction of the voice.

I went up a flight of stairs, and turned left, and this young woman was waving her arms at me, and there was somebody lying on the ground. So I ran over. There was an electric wheelchair in the bushes, and this young man (who I couldn't tell if he was a man or a woman because of his soft voice) who had been in the wheelchair was lying face down on the ground with his pants around his ankles. The young woman had just got there & didn't have a cell phone.

I called 911. I asked for an ambulance, & I told them that this person said they were assaulted, and their pants were around their ankles, so I thought it might have been a sexual assault. They sent an ambulance & the police. The victim wanted to talk to his mother, so I got her phone number & dialed & handed him the phone. Then I waited for the police.

So once the police & paramedics got there, I grabbed my phone, and the guy's mom was on the line & wanted to know what was happening. I didn't know, and the paramedics & police couldn't tell me. So I had to hang up on her, because I needed my damn phone back. I feel terrible about that.

And then I was questioned by the police, they took down my info, etc. Took about 40 minutes. One of the cops was a bumbling fucking idiot. A police captain also came to the scene, and they taped it off. About five cop cars were there, plus a cop on a segue. Anyway, I didn't see who did it or anything, but I had been in the park all afternoon. I wish I had seen something or could have been more helpful... or hadn't gone to get the damned smoothy.

The young woman was visiting from Germany, said she was leaving the next day, so they didn't want a statement from her. They wouldn't have been able to follow up on it. But she was freaked out, so I walked her to the hostel and headed home. Oh, and the victim stopped us from leaving and thanked us, which was pretty gracious considering what he'd just been through. I mean, even if it wasn't a sexual assault, can you imagine being a disabled person, getting beat up and robbed and left helpless like that? Fuck...

Well, that's my story.

I expected a joke at every turn there, but damn that's a true story! That sucks. Nice good Samaritan.

I know - maybe bad timing - but.. you get any hot german hostel action?

Frank_Sinatra · Post by **Frank_Sinatra** » 03 Apr 2007 12:02

Thanks Zeke & Tom. Too bad I have to work, I won't be able to join you.

This comment was just an excuse to say, no, I didn't get any.

JeffRichards · Post by **JeffRichards** » 03 Apr 2007 13:11

Thats one crazy story Nathan, good man!!!

Havnt kicked with you guys in awhile, maybe sometime soon!

if its nice out....

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 03 Apr 2007 18:57

I forgot to give you props on the practice Nathan. It showed today.

Reile called me to play footbag today. Yay!
Josh, Reile, and I played furiously @ Northeastern. Zeke then Nathan met us up after a bit. We played a pretty long time. Since Saturday I've played every day, and really hard core yesterday and today. Just pushing and finding that extra energy and stabilizing to continue a long string and even throw bigger moves at the latter end of a string. Really fun to have my peeps to play with. My legs feel like they need more oil. I've worked them so much lately they feel dry. To the extreme I work a mic like a vandal.

I've tried to hit wet dream the past few days and get ridiculously close. I'll hit it soon. Schooling a bunch of stuff: DOD, blender, atomics a bit. And hit flurry and fog BS almost BSOS. And hit beautiful toe and same clip flux! need other side now.

Played 3 games of 2 square with Zeke and they were pretty fun. Long games till 11.
