What's your fearless record?

Bigwalk>Ripped Warrior>Some other things?

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 25 May 2007 08:42

My record is 3, I was trying for 5 last night but it didn't work.

bigwalk > ripped is a combo I'd like to hit!

Might kick today, don't know. A little sore from yesterday.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 28 May 2007 18:48

Saw Pirates 3 today. It was good, really good.

Haven't kicked in awhile, it feels anyway.

Kicked today.

Highlights;
Flip spin pdx mirage, maybe new
Spin clip > rip rpt
Toe whirl bsos, with blurry whirl almost bsos
Side > stepping same mirage > leg bs, almost rpt
Whirl > far osis > pdx whirl bs
Matador > GYBAS > blurry whirl, I have 5 fearless planned out, now if I can only do it!
Torque > mobius off my foot
Drifter > mobius close but no cigar

That's all. Sunburn really kills ya. It helps keep your body really warm after you get warmed up, plus it'a an energy zapper. Oy! Ohh well.

Todays shred;
Rubberman > Run
Side > Stepping Mirage > Leg > Rpt (Finally!) > Run
GYBAS > Blurry Whirl > Pdx Torque > Pdx Blender > drop
Fairy Beater > Osis > Side > Ripwalk > Pdx Mirage > Fairy Beater > Far Osis > Side > Osis > ss Butter > Dimwalk > Side > ss Butter > Pdx Mirage > Dim drop

Had some more decent runs, lots of shuffle. My flip pixie has kinda faded away, while my flip fairy is getting better! Almost had flip Ripped Warrior a couple of times

! It's a shame I wasn't able to hit it, I want it so bad. I was close to Rubberman quite a few times, I'm just glad that I was able to hit it 2nd try and fairly easily.

I've had a couple of off sessions this past week. I had a mini sess yesterday, I kicked last friday. I think maybe even wednesday too. No real highlights, somehow I hit whirling swirl on wednesday, it faked me out! But I wasn't able to hit it again. And then on friday I had Pdx Torque b2b off my foot! Thats about it really, I also got another bag done!

It's Fuschia and Storm Grey, old template, new design, 61.6 grams and absolutely beautiful! It's breaking in nicely too!

Here's an update on my last bag I stitched. The Noir Pent and White Hex bag. It's broken in, it's completely shred worthy (I think anyway) and it's one of the softest bags I have!

It's so beautiful!

My life has been alright. Since schools been out I haven't done a whole bunch. Me and my Dad got a slab poured in and we built a new shed on it. We both got really sunburnt the first day we worked on it, D'oh! That was last week! I had an interview for a job yesterday at my school, I think it went good. Hopefully I'll be getting a call from them this week! If not I might be getting a job at Blockbuster. Which wouldn't be bad, atleast I wouldn't have to take a 40-50 min bus ride to get to work! But, if I don't get either of these I'll be going on vacation with my Dad. He's planning on taking a month off, and going back home. Home for him is Northern Idaho, but we would stop by and see his brother in Boise then go up and see his other brother in Mountain Home. If I went, I would probably be able to kick with the Boise crew, which would be sweet! Penske, Genzu, Zeb and Kyle! That'd be so sweet! That and I might be able to convince my Dad to stop by Portland the weekend after the 4th of July for I can hit my first Tourny, the U.S Open! But I'd rather have the job becuase I could use the money to pay for school! Ohh well, I'll see what happens!

Forgot to mention that I have a girl now! I haven't had a relationship in 4 years! Damn! But it's sweet, If I get a job I'll be buying her some lavers becuase she's showed some interest in footbag! Which is sweet becuase she's pretty active all the time. And if I do get her going with footbag I'd be able to kick with her pretty much whenever, seeing as I normally go over to her place 3-4 times a week. And with that I could see her getting good fast. She's a fast learner as it is, so she could be tilt/guiltless within 4 or 5 months with a good base of tiltless moves.

Goodnight footy bag world!

Had a session today. It wasn't that great but it wasn't that bad either. I went in expecting to hit 3 drills that I have hit, didn't hit them

. Ohh well, I might've been trying to hard seeing as I had the camera on.

Highlights;
5/6 of rubberman every time I tried it
1/2 of side > step mirage > tapdown
1/2 of side > blur > leg
1/2 of side > blur > tap > atom > leg
23 ripwalks!! New PB!! On tape too

pdx drifter first try on one side, second try on other

I'm now going to see what I got on tape, and see if any of it's worth while for the vid I'm going to make!

Mood: Pissed

Well, I'm in Idaho right now. Mtn. Home to be more exact. Beautiful weather and scenery(sp?). We, my dad and I, left last saturday and got to Ely Nevada around 4:30ish in the after noon. We left at 7:20 in the morning. It wasn't anything but a quick trip. We got there and thought it was really nice out. I went and kicked for like 5 min's, I couldn't get warmed up at all! Then I swam for awhile. BIG MISTAKE!! I got out and nearly froze my ass off! That'll learn me!
We then got to Mtn. Home around 2:40 on Sunday, and got to my Uncle's place. I haven't really done much since we've been here. I'm bored of this little town, there's nothing to do here! I've kicked once since Saturday. I kicked yesterday, Thursday. Had an all right session. Nothing new. I was having some good strings when I got warmed up. Almost had a new fearless link, matador > blurriest. I'd like to hit this one soon!
I'm tired of this "vacation." It's more of a vacation for my dad than me. I don't mind seeing my Auny's and Uncle's, but damn. Here's the OG outline for this trip.
Sat, June 9th, leave Az and get to Ely. Check
Sun, June 10th, leave Ely and get to Mtn. Home. Check
Sun. thru Wed or Thur, Stay with my Uncle and Aunt.
Wed. or Thur, June 13th or 14th, Got to Boise to see about kicking with the Freedom Crew.
Wed. or Thur, June 13th or 14th, Leave Mtn. Home and head for Lind, Wa.
Then stay with the Grandparents for a close to a week. Then head up to Spokane for a couple of days, maybe a week. From there go to Lewiston Idaho and see my other Aunt and Uncle for a day or two. Then head back home.
This plan has gotten so fucked up, I wish I would've stayed home. We're probably be going to stay here in Mtn. Home till wed. or thur. of next week. The only good thing about this is that I might be able to get in one or more kicks with the Freedom Crew! Then head to the Grandparents for a couple of days. Then hit my Aunt's place for a day or two. Then see my other Aunt and Uncle for a day or two, then come home! Fuck I wish I was at home!

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 16 Jun 2007 21:32

Had my 3rd shred of the "vacation" today. It was about 40 min's or so. Mainly worked spins, tilt and some dexing. It was pretty kool out so I stayed in my b-ball shorts.

Inspin clip bs
Inspin osis one side, footed
Far swirl, again, felt good
What!?!, about footed, fluke try at it
Ss butter swirl, came close a couple of times
Infinity swirl, came close a couple of times

Atw i-o > pixie > rpt > clip > ss mirage > atw o-i > fairy > drop
Atw o-i > fairy > rpt > clip > ss mirage > atw i-o > pixie > drop
Atw o-i > datw o-i, one side
Atw i-o > datw i-o, one side

Had a couple of "decent" looks at a furious set. I went to try barrage and I had a set! And I had a set for 3 of them, but when I went to try something out of it I never got the set. Ohh well.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 18 Jun 2007 21:02

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 22 Jun 2007 20:24

Last wednesday I was able to get together with Daryl and Jim up in Boise! It was really fun. Penske is SICK!!!!! Daryl is a kool guy, with a sweet game!

Penske was hitting tons of sick stuff! Lots of long run's filled with amazing tricks! He hit nemesis once and it was the first time I've seen it hit in person!

Daryl is crazy with the pixies! Tons of Phoenix's and really kool pixie shuffle!

I was doing good once I warmed up!

Highlights:
Rubberman
Sumo > Atomic Drifter, FINALLY!!!!

That's all I can remember! I think I might've had a run with torque and drifter bsos.

I'm up in Washington now, visiting the Grandparents. It's nice and cool here. Even though I do miss the heat!

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 24 Jun 2007 19:12

Thanks Aleksei!

Just had a late session. It was pretty good. Also got some footage, which looks to be ok.

Highlights;
PS Whirl 1st try!

That's all I can really remember, I think I had some pretty decent runs but I won't find out till I watch the footage

.

Now it's time to kool off, then go to bed.

G'night footyland!

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 27 Jun 2007 21:20

Ohh yea, before I forget, BIG Props to Kyle Hewitt for giving me the number for the Freedom Crew. Thanks!

I haven't really kicked in awhile, but I had a session yesterday (first for being back home) and another today with Conrad.

Yesterday was a weird day. It kinda felt like I was just going through the motions instead of really shredding.

Today on the other hand was GREAT!! I haven't kicked with other people since I kicked with Jim and Daryl up in Boise. For the most part it was me and Conrad, then about an hour and a half after we started Blake, new kicker in Az, showed up. He's kool and he can do mirages, lo's and butterfly. Conrad on the other hand couldn't hit a thing

. After he got warmed up, didn't need it due to the weather, he was back to himself. For most of the session we were telling each other component's to use and we would do sick 3's with whatever component the other would say. IE: I would say "stepping, pixie, and ducking" and he would come up with a sick 3 that uses those components. It was alot of fun. I was doing alright. I was doing some good runs before we started the sick 3's. Then when Blake was there I hit a couple of really good runs.

Highlight's:
Fusion, yay, after forever of footing, 2nd try

Poor man's Nemesis

That's all I can remember. It was a great session! Now if only Mike could kick!

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 08 Jul 2007 11:25

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 15 Jul 2007 13:11

Had a sweet unexpected session yesterday. I didn't feel like kicking, but I did.

Highlights;
Whirligig
Flurry
Matador bsos
Pdx Tapdown bsos footed
GYBAS > Food, new link, sealed with food > GYBAS > hand catch later on
Pdx Torque > Ps Whirl footed
Blurry Drifter > Ps Whirl footed
Blurriest > Ripwalk footed, damn I want to step out of blurriest so bad
Toe Blur footed, so close to my second quantum trick!

That's all I can think of. I need to get a job so I can buy my girl a pair of laver's and I can start teaching her how to footbag! It'll be sweet! She's gonna love the bag I'm making Her. It's just like the white and black bag I made but it's going to be pink and black instead!

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 15 Jul 2007 13:47

Nice new combos/tricks.

Specially whirlygig.I love how that move looks,massive:). Props

Cool that your girl is going to play footbag.That is really great.

mrjauss · Post by **mrjauss** » 16 Jul 2007 17:52

Josh,

Hein combos and PHAT tricks or was it PHAT tricks and Hein combos! Can't remember. I haven't watched in a long while. You never cease to amaze me. You learn things so quickly. Yeah I know all relative. Keep up the kickin! Great job!

My ankle is weird. It seems to get better and then one day it has some aches (only at work. I need to be more careful how I sit down and lay down to work on the machines). I might go to the doctor one of these days. I am sick of not kickin. I miss it way to much. I am going through withdrawals.

Footbag the good addiction for the freestyle/NET addict. Is there a 12 step program? haha.

I will talk to you later!
