This blog is like a crab's shell, when one person is done with it another comes along and uses it.

Props on rubberman.

Speaking of rubberman, I found a rec center up the street with playground surrounded by rubber foundation! It feels great on my legs! Hurray!!!

In other news, I'm schooling gyro lately, and yesterday I hit a bunch of frigid stuff.

Time for some cheap mexican. 2 enchiladas, one chicken, one beef and chips and salsa for 3.50. Yummers. On the flipside, that's the same price as a gallon of gas here! Yikes!

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 13 Apr 2007 04:51

enchiladas kick ass.

good luck on flip gyro

This little dude crawled into my new home and now he lives here too:

He just hangs out around the house.

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 15 Apr 2007 17:23

thats so cool. i wish that shit would happen to me.
Also hit it a new trick, gyro diving osis.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 16 Apr 2007 08:40

finally got out of the slump yesterday and hit some good strings. dont really remember any specific highlights but i did hit mobius>(flip) pdx blender so that was pretty good.
im sure i'll play again today.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 17 Apr 2007 06:03

i hit definitely more than 20 drifters in a row. beats my record of like 7. haha, yes, it was very unexpected but felt incredibly cool.
i got wrecked last night...couldnt even bike home, i have to go get my bike today after school.

gotta be honest, im flipping between this and Hen G's entry for the tripod battle and he definitely gets my vote. nice clear footage with good slo mo, and i just mouthed "oh shit" at one link he almost hit in it (atomsmasher>FS atomic far swirl i think) so big props to the former blog owner, very impressive shred.

im definitely wanting to play later today. the session i had with francisco wasnt too long (he wasnt feeling great) and that was two days ago. plus a post-hangover shred often feels revitalizing. so my schedule for the afternoon is leave school at like 12:00, take a train then a bus to go get my damn bike, bike back to the train and take that home hopefully get home at like 1:30, play some footbag (i should invite chris over...yeah, good idea) then i have to do my taxes with the old man, mail them tonight, eat some cocoa pebbles, sleep, rpt.

i think im going to try to convince some of the other BSC members to post in here, im thinking especially chris and francisco.

boston shred what?

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 17 Apr 2007 13:00

yeah i played. it went...ok. a few decent highlights:

drifter>pdx dlo bs
"backside" food (stepping paradox symple blender)

blender>gyro blender>pdx blender

i cant wait to hit food at the end of that one. and to hit it on my flip

so far the best success i've had at getting BSC members to post in here was francisco accidently starting a new thread that was locked within minutes due to numerous usages of terms deemed to be inappropriate. haha way to represent guys

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 18 Apr 2007 08:58

its sad that this is the best avatar i've ever "designed" and i made it in Word. haha. still, as a completely unbiased observer, gotta say its my best yet. tonight all i have planned is to nap a lot and play footbag. my taxes are all set, dont have to go out anywhere, things are looking up.
i know i've done it before but i just hit rev. swirl in pants and lavers with a quarter, first try. it looks so sick. i should use that to show off more often.
if anyone wants to give me some shit to try this is as close to a challenge thread as im going to get. im not going to keep track of them and im pretty much just going to ignore ones i dont like, but i wouldnt mind some fresh ideas.

i like:
blenders
torques
whirls
zooming!
drifters
ass stalls
dlos
stepping very bs
atomic fairly bs
pixie not very bs
nuke very os

i dislike:
eggbeaters (but i can hit bedwetter one side so its not like i cant do em)
fairy
swirls (i've landed only a few ever. they might as well be nemesis to me)
excessive downtime miraging legovering illusioning shit

thats not for challenges or anything, just because i was bored, but it might help i guess. i can spin one way pretty damn well (spender, void, spin pdx egg, spinning whirl) and the other way sometimes pretty well, i've got the basic ducking shit down bs but im not very fond of it and never got really good except for a few big moves on one side (tomahawk, mind bender, alpine legbeater n shit)

i hit stepping far ass stall recently. i think today i will go for stepping far ass>blender, like food with an ass in the middle (haha sounds appetizing...ass food...)

damn i must be bored...

Pete, does this mug look familiar?

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 18 Apr 2007 16:56

Is that a sugar fairy?

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 19 Apr 2007 03:43

ya know, dont hold me to it, but i think that might be the guy. he was wearing a different expression here, but looks familiar to me

no footbag yesterday, i wound up napping for 3 hours in the middle of the day. i also almost didnt make it to school this morning....i really need to start getting more sleep

also i decided im going to start seriously drilling swirl and pixie bs. stop fuckin around and start getting good.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 19 Apr 2007 13:38

FINALLY the breakout of slump session i was waiting for.

i decided to play at umass boston wherever i could find the most students. one of those sessions where there's no way i'll remember all the highlights, but i'll try.

osis>blur>(flip) legbeater
gyro blender, ps whirl, pdx blender all midstring
ripwalk>sumo to end a long guiltless string
legbeater>far rev. swirl
mind bender again
tombstone>blur
haze>smog (my first triple>triple)
fog>dimwalk midstring
atomic far osis>zooming pdx mirage (cool reverse)
spender 4 out of 5 times

my two FAVORITE highlights:

DATW>pixie muted clip>vortex

pdx blender>vortex

those last one felt so sweet. the last one was actually easier.
if i think of anymore i'll post em.

favorite part of the session:
some fairly good looking girl walking by goes: 'can i just tell you that you're really good?' i smiled and nodded and expected that to be it as she kept walking, but she kept going: '...like really really ridiculously good. like i wish i could ever be that good at hacking.' i just laughed and said thanks, and maybe someday.

two hacky slackers came up and played for a bit. business as usual.

happy you know what tomorrow!!

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 23 Apr 2007 13:14

these blogs move too fast.

so i had a pretty ill session at UMASS Boston. mostly just because it was like 80 degrees out, and plenty of hacky slackers to kick with that i never have before. one dude told me my legs were doing shit they were supposed to (that was when i hit pixie same blender first try) and the other asked me if i had an order form for my hacks on my website. haha.
no real highlights, we were playing with a light 4 panel for most of the time, and it was real windy. but definitely played well. lots of cool old school components, lots of ass stalls, few torque>ps whirls, torque>pandora's box>pixie muted clip was fun.

in other news i had a job interview today. it went well i think. it was for a locksmithing company in Everett, MA. dude said he would call me back after doing one or two more interviews. i have a good feeling about it. that 10-15 dollars an hour would definitely help get me to montreal a lot easier. plus buy new units.

im off caffeine for a month because taylor told me she thinks i have an addictive personality. kind of pissed me off and im not really sure its true. who isnt addicted to something? so i had to prove i dont by not drinking mt dew until my birthday (same day as cc2) which of course turned into not drinking mt dew, since i mostly like it for the caffeine...and the taste. looks like i'll be drinking a lot of powerade and water. dont know what to do about drinking sparks... which for those of you who dont know are one of those like energy beers. they have 6.0 or 7.0 percent alcohol and taste like...an energy drink. so i like em. but im assuming they're heavy on the caffiene.
