3 hour session with Will; awesome.

I hardly remember anything specific either of us did.

For the better part of the session we were both trying to hit 1 drill, being, Rubberman and Alpine Rubberman (you can guess at who was doing what)

I think I got 4 contacts of Rubberman and Will got 4 contacts of Alpine, though he did duck the Atomic of the 5th contact, it didn't work out.

I gave a few tries to Atomic Blender, cool move, but I didn't hit it. I footed it the first time I went for the Blender, but it never got better than that.

Good runs from both of us all around, Will had some cool drills that I can't think of right now, and I had some cool midstring Atomic stuff.

Awesome session, hopefully I'll be able to play at tomorrow's.

Good session yesterday, do you want to play today? around 3:30 or 4?

Kinda crappy session with Will. Hardly played for an hour. Will forgot his shoes, so he had to use my extra pair; definately held him back.

Neither of us had anything really stand outish, although I did hit Gravedigger for the first time on the first try ever. Also ended with Spender on both sides.

Hopefully the next shred will be a lot better.

Decent multi-part session. Worked my flip Clipper position and my Stepping on both sides.

Hit Stepping Mirage>Legbeater (Rpt.); my new favorite drill.

Also got Pdx. Whirl>Spinning Clipper (Rpt.). That was a bit harder than it should have been.

Ended with Spinning Swirl BS, awesome move, but I need to learn to not spin out of it everytime.

Ok session, I think 5th day in a row. I really need a break, I can feel it.

Started with Spinning Swirl BS; still awesome.

Hit Stepping Mirage>Legbeater (Rpt.); still awesome.

Ended with Spinning Osis>Pdx. Torque; cool link.

Yeah, my blog is totally sans popularity!

Went back for 30 minutes to work on Pixie.

-Smear>Pixie SS Mirage (Rpt.)
-Pixie SS Mirage>Tap (Rpt.); making sure to always be doing flip Pixie midstring.

PS: I tried Mortal Kombat for the first time today, and I totally suck at it.

Also played at school yesterday and hit Blurry Torque again, and Whirlwind for the first time (sixth 6 add).

Nearly-naked-shoeless-while-watching-Shangai-Nights-mini-session.

Assasin
Flip Assasin
Flip Phoenix

Yeah, Pixie Ducking finally makes sense!!!

Edit: Went back and got both Phoenix's in shoes; hoorah!

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 23 Apr 2007 17:39

Really good solo shred. Had some awesome strings (for me that is) and some cool new links.

Blurry Whirl>Pdx. Torque BS
Both Matadors mid-string (not BSOS)
Osis>Whirling Swirl
Footed Legbeater>Blender>Spinning Clipper>Far (Symple?) Swirl
Osis>Far Swirl
Phoenix to start a few stings; couldn't get flip
Pixie Whirl>Ripwalk
Pdx. Whirl>Stepping Clipper (Rpt.)
Footed Pdx. Torque BSOS

That's about all I can remember, had a lot of fun.

Oh yeah, I've got 5 drills that I want to hit within the next week (Note, I have not hit any of these.)

Pdx. Whirl>Stepping Mirage>Dimwalk (Rpt.)
DLO>Legbeater (Rpt.)
Pdx. DLO>Dimwalk (Rpt.)
Pdx. Whirl>Spinning Whirl (Rpt.)
Pdx. Mirage>Phoenix (Rpt.)

Yeah, 50 pages!

Didn't play long because I'm going into town with my dad soon, but I still played really well.

Atom Smasher B2B on both sides (thanks Yacine for having an awesome Atomic!)

Ended with some really high set, clean Blurry Whirls.

Props on Atomsmasher back to back! It's so sweet looking. Go for 4 now. ; )

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 25 Apr 2007 15:11

It wasn't the first time I B2B'd that, but it was in the least tries.

I also did a few Toe Blurs on one side, trying to learn Quantum flip.

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 25 Apr 2007 16:58

Played in front of the camera to see how things looked, and to my surprise, my exucution on most everything looked so much better than last time. Very, very happy.

9 Pdx. Whirls (New PR)
Blurry Whirl>Blurry Whirl BS
(Not new but) Food Processer BS and Mobius BS easy

Worked on my flip Clipper position a lot and it feels much better as a result. Stepping on that side looks weird, but I'll work it out.

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 25 Apr 2007 17:17

Oh yeah, I totally hit Ripstein to start the session; awesome!

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 26 Apr 2007 15:58

Played while my dad was talking with some workers at our apartment. I had on baggy shorts so I worked on Ducking and Spinning.

Spinning Clipper>Ducking Clipper (Rpt.)
Ducking Clipper>Diving Clipper (Rpt.)
Ducking Clipper x5
Tomahawk BS
Hatchet BS

Oh yeah, I hit Flip Spinning Ducking Clipper last time too.

Played for a short time this morning.

Did some barefoot Pixie Ducking. Hit Phoenix and Flip Pixie Ducking Clipper.

Hit another Toe Blur and even a Flip Toe Blur(!). I've never had any luck with flip Quantum before, but it clicked. I think I'll try Stepping Mirage>Tripwalk next session.

Some DATWs. I'm not that good at them because I never practice them. Even had a few flips.

I just got a Wii (4 months past due from Xmas), so I'll be playing a lot of Zelda; and shredding a lot less.

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 28 Apr 2007 15:28

More barefoot.

Did lots and lots of Toe Blurs (both sides!) and even a few DSO; easier than I originally thought. I hope it's not a big learning curve for shoes. More Pixie Ducking, did both Phoenix's this time; flip becoming easier.

Before this I did hit both Toe Blurs in shoes as well as Slapping Mirage; Quantum just became my new favorite set!

Played in shoesies for 1.5 hours. It was quite fun.

Played in front of a camera to check out my form; looks pretty good. Support knee still bends too much on clippers; oh well.
Came pretty close to a Furious set, just need to suck my calf into my chest to clear the second dex.
Tried a serious Surging set for the first time. One side has potential, and the other I need to work my spinning before I add a dex.
Ended with Ripwalk>Sidewalk>Stepping Clipper (Rpt.). Cool drill, I'll need to do it some more.
