F.A.T.

Nice Camille! You're so hip it hurts!

I am about to leave for Hamilton - the land of no internet connection - for the day. I will assume that we are all meeting at Dundas Square (the corner of Dundas and Yonge) at around 4pm. If this plan changes, I would really appreciate a call.

Jay (and anyone else who wants to meet at Union Sation), you'll have to call me with details if you want to meet. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you can make it on your own. (Dundas Square is only a 10 min walk from Union).

See everybody tomorrow! I'll bring my stereo - so bring CDs! (or listen to mine, again)

Just played with Josh Lackey for a few hours. I can not WAIT to see the rest of you! Shredding with Canadians is just so much, well, awesomer than shredding with Europeans.

I'll edit this post with the Fat shred from tomorrow, tomorrow.

Heya, Fatheads. Your other little buddy from the 905 may be coming, so watch out for my shitty green tercel. The only issue is that I'll be eating dinner with the g-rents at around 6, which is 2 whole hours after you guys start shredding. So I mean, if nobody's even gonna still be playing by the time I finish eating, then there's not much sense in me crusing down there. Anyway, I'll scope it out on the mapquest and try and be in touch with one of ya'll before I start the drive.

Ok, session review time

Get there, phone Mike to see where they are playing. There was a HUGE festival on the dundas square, and luckily the FAT players were all at the very corner of it.

So, I see some faces that seemed familiar from the FAT site, and introduced myself very quickly. Immediately Adam invited me and Jon to make a second circle, and the quality of the shred was quite nice. It was my first time seeing all of those catwalks that adam can do, and he hit some nice moves in and out of them. Blurry ducking catwalk and some other stuff, which, I would like to learn someday. He is also a very good player for the crowds, double switchovers, DATW's, a rackey spin thing, and long nice guiltless runs.

Jon, he was also a very good player, however he had to leave so soon

I don't remember any strings like a movie in my mind, however, I do remember alot of drifters and whirls were to be seen. Overall a cool style, I mean, who can argue with drifters and whirls? Both some of the styliest concepts in footbag. His torques also struck me as "I should work out like he does, so I can destroy them". When he does a torque, it is literally like his shoulders grab the air and wind him into them. Incredible.

I didn't get to see much of mike, however he seemed like a well rounded player. Reverse whirls struck me as cool, and I bet they found their roots with Erik Chan. I believe he hit them bsos, but don't quote me. Again, I didn't get to play with him for a long period of time, and today just had so much going on that I can't remember it clearly.

Chad, what a great start! He has a solid foundation to butterflies, and I can tell when he starts with infinities that he will be a very good clipper player. I say this, because he does not include much toe play in his game. He has no problem busting out a mirage, but I just can see his game being such more visually pleasing with a paradox mirage or legover (which, he did get far legover today

). He also got his first 4 add while trying a drifter, obviously the dada curve. He also got a dragon, which was cool. I am glad that by me asking him to do random stuff he learned so much.

Camille. Sadly, I think I saw about 3 minutes total of her shred. She came very late, but her neon green laced Gunits seemed to be doing well. I saw a bunch of solid foundation tricks, butterflies and normal toe to toe moves, so I can only imagine what will happen if she keeps this up. She also got around twice as many viewers as the rest of us male shredders, which I hope she takes as a good thing.

Liam. Well, I play with Liam all the time, but I guess for the sake of this post I'll include him too

He hit symposium blur, assassin, tomahawk, torque, and a few other really decent moves today. His osis' seemed to be doing better, just more of a consistant catch today as well.

Gresham, again, my personal shred buddy. Anyway, he hit smear again a whole bunch of times, and he also got a few clean butterflies or so I hear. He has already improved alot since the week I've been back, I can't wait to see him at the end of the summer.

Me. Well, I could ramble on, but I played ok today. My legs were burnt out, but after about 30 minutes they felt good. However, the last hour I felt like a cripple. I enjoy playing for a crowd, even though my slight add hunting disorder does come up every so often....

Thanks for the awesome shred guys, and I'll gladly do it again sometime soon.

Great to see lots of new faced today. Fun shred. Sorry I couldn't stay longer. Beware special milkshakes! :p

Sorry I didn't end up coming out, crew. Dinner ended up going till 8, and I kinda figured that after 4 hours of shred, you guys were probably wrapping up, so I decided to just make it a home night. I really wanna shred with you FATheads sooon though.

I just traded a shift tomorrow for my saturday shift

It looks like Andrew and I will be able to make it out then.

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 03 Jul 2007 15:28

Nice! I can make it Saturday! Sunday is no good for me.

Where do people want to play? I think we should mix it up a bit. Somewhere new perhaps?
