I had a pretty nice Jani Walker, higher set than I've been getting. I think I've broken into double digits now with them, now I just need to get a better set.

In a few minutes I'm going to go try Rubberman, because you're not cool unless you can do Rubberman.

Hey Miles.

No Rubberman today, though everything feels really easy and smooth. Just a matter of time now.

Ended with Toe Blur BS and a nice Jani Walker.

Played for about 1 hour. Wasn't a focused session, unless you count doing Jani's every once and a while.

Just tried to get stepping better, more give on clipper helps. I'll use video next time.

Got Janiwalker about 10-12 times, half of those were really good sets. I think I'll try Fury soon. About 4 were sans drops (Jani>handcatch>Jani>.....)

More give on Clippers = Awesome.

Stepping instantly became effortless, and flip Stepping even looks good on camera. :D <---- Me.

Oh yeah, Clipper more close to the ground = more room for Furious = higher set. Had some very nice Janiwalkers, and I should be hitting Fury sooner than I thought! I hit the bag on the 3rd dex, but I definately had time for it.

Really becoming more comfortable with flip Clipper. Hit very easy Stepping Whirls both sides, quite a few actually. Blurry set could use a bit of work flip, and Stepping SS could be better on strong. I'll need to see it on video to see how smooth it looks, but it feels like butter.

Also hit Pdx. Whirl>Stepping Whirl on my first try ever I believe.

Full drill shouldn't be too far off.

Played for a very short amount of time, maybe 20 minutes.

Just did some more Stepping SS stuff. Mostly Stepping Whirls. Stepping Swirl BS. I think I should do a drill with Stepping Whirl. Maybe not even a drill, something like Stepping Whirl>Stepping Clipper BS. Maybe tomorrow, I think I'll take the rest of the day off today.

I think I'm going to start instating a weekly drill goal on myself; at least 8 genuine contacts.

To be hit by next Sunday: Ducking Clipper>Blur>Legbeater>Whirl>Stepping Clipper (rpt.)

Hit Flip Flail twice.

I'm practicing the motion for flip Symp. Whirl all the time, but it doesn't seem to be going very far.

Flip Janiwalker! And only a week after hitting strong side. And not even 1, like it was a fluke, I got 3!

Flip Clipper feels right at home. Stepping is a lot better on flip, almost had Blurry Whirl>Blurry Whirl again. The second was set a bit too low, I'll work on it though. I'm extremly happy with everything in my game, and I can't wait for tomorrow's session with Will.

Great session with Will.

My highlight was Fury, but it's time for dinner, so I'll post crazy Digges' stuff later.

Stuff Will hit:
-Whirr>Ripwalk (Rpt.)
-Alpine Blurry Whirl>Alpine Blurry Whirl>Whirlwind. His 2nd Beast.
-Whirr>Tomahawk (Rpt.)
-6 Fearless mid-string
(Am I missing anything big?)

Stuff Will tried:
-Alpine Blurry Whirl>Spikehammer>Alpine Legbeater (Rpt.). He nicked the last duck twice.

-Janiwalker>Whirr (Rpt.). On the last Whirr, he either clipped the first dex, or froze mid-way through it.
-Sunilwalk>Tomahawk (Rpt.)
-Pdx. Eggbeater>Symp. Whirl (Rpt.)

Great session matt, you improve everytime I play with you. I played for a couple hours after you left, I don't know what got into me, I had a lot of energy. Here's some other stuff:

Alpine Whirly Gig Rake
Alp Blurry whirl > reverse swirling pickup > op symp whirl > op symp swirl
ripped warrior > alp blur > alp legbeater (rpt.)

Oh yeah and we need to talk about this tournament that's going to happen, because I think its a great idea.

Venue options: City Center, The park, Anywhere we can find an open nice spot really if its nice outside. I'll contact the city center it seems like the best spot.

We'll see what dates we could possibly get it for.

Hotels, restauraunts, and such are not a problem, all in walking distance. All we need are the Footbaggers, footbags, and maybe.... t-shirts? hmmm It's all coming together i can see it now.
