ooo jazz fest is good shred. I played there for jazz fest 2 years ago I believe, maybe it was last year, and ran into greg "the armadillo" pestillo.

Thanks for the positive comments about my new 32s. Glad you liked pat's, I thought it was pretty good. I'm NUTS about number 83, though. it feels so good. Switching from double to single floss is the best thing ever to happen to my bags.

hope we can play soon.

Baroque...hmmm, i see the jobs i just cant really comprehend in my mind how to do that...its too late at night right now for my brain to function, maybe i will try thinking about it in the morning unless you or someone else has video i can reference to.

backside reverse whirl is cool.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 27 Jun 2007 18:44

thats the cherry on top

hey, just a little education here.

Backside only refers to moves with two dexes. Backside means the last dex in the move is symposium. So if Reverse whirl only has one dex.... its just called symposium reverse whirl.

i had a kinda disapointing shred today. i kinda lost my taste for shredding alone now that i go with pat. so its just boring and im un motivated without him. i know in a few days i could recoer from that but im just so addicted to shredding with pat.

i tried to do as many tiltless as i could today...i only got 19 contacts

i really want to be in the 40ish range.

at least i have a goal.

it was consisted of clipper bs (+far), pickup (+pdx), legover, mirage (+pdx), butterfly bs, infinity , osis (+far), ducking clipper bs (+far), diving clipper.

gotta expand that if i want to have a good 40 without too much repetition.

same on this end. Knowing there's someone about 7 minutes away kinda makes the solo shred a bit unnecessary. How flexible are you if I were to just randomly call you and ask to play like I did last wednesday (I think it was)? This week I'm going to have all the time in the world since I'm not at work.

It's really a shame you bolted that night at sno top. Doug and I went over to the library and played under a light for a while longer and we started trying new tricks, coming close to all sorts of crazy things. I was trying down double downs (again) and blurriests and barflies and all sorts of double dex mastery. Jokingly I go, "Yeah so if I don't get barfly off clipper in the next few tries I'll just do ripwalk > barfly or legbeater > barfly." and ha ha we laughed. Then I dropped the back and hit ripwalk > barfly. . . I fell down laughing. Anyway it was just some fun stuff. Wish you could of stayed a bit longer.

we'll jam soon. peace.

yea sorry i had to get out so soon but my energy was just shot.

as for my schedual..i get back fromwork at 5:30 but i usually plan on eating food then stitching or visiting with my girlfriend then stitching and eating more or if im not doing that i footbag. i supose i could give you a call if i ever decide to just shred which is kinda often. we would just play at the P&C place though.

we still on for tomorrow and tuesday? i knda dont want to go to sno top because of that guy....creep...plays hackysack....too old. can we just go to liverpool or something?

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 01 Jul 2007 15:33

had a small session tonight while i waited on the call of my girlfriend who still hasnt called. at least i got a full session in.

highlight:

30 contacts tiltless

im still dissapointed with that though so its not much of a highlight.

ended the session with dimwalk>infinity>blurry reverse whirl

meh.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 01 Jul 2007 16:42

props on the 30 tiltless, man. Sounds good. And the meh is undeserved dude with anything that ends on blurry rev whirl. Knowing how you do things like that that string would look sick and way too easy. Well done.

We can definitely shred tomorrow or tuesday or something. Any time, really. Just give me a call with what you're up to and we can make it out the Pavilion of Target Consumerism and New England Towncenter-iness. That's its name. Or the skatepark. Or we could go to Shoppingtown and play right outside the Security Offices and then spraypaint Footbag with the anarchy logo for the A.

that'd be super cool. right.

I challenge you to parkwalk>ripwalk>blurry reverse whirl. After you do that, do Parkwalk>Blurry Reverse Whirl>Reverse Tomahawk

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 01 Jul 2007 20:31

k pat, i'll call you round 1:30 or 2 o' clock

lets just shred at towne center, i'll bring some drinks for us.

Zac,

the first is not probable at this time because i can't hit blurry rev whirl flip side...can't even hit rev whirl that side. although im working on it. The next one is not probable either do to the same situation.

If you start on flip pixie it ends on strong rev whirl.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 02 Jul 2007 05:57

P.S.- i cant do flip pixies for shit. i hit smear on the flip once but it was crappy.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 02 Jul 2007 13:16
