Whoa!! Greatest post ever in the Montana Blog right there James

Tripped last night at around 1am. I'm at work right now in la biblioteca. still trippin a little bit. It was fun. I'm staying at this ranch out of town for the week and their house is like valhalla -- the house of doors. Endless doors leading to other doors. It was cool. This girl that I've been hitting on for years joined too. Hell Yeah!

Took the dogs of this ranch I'm looking after for a walk this morning. One of them came back with a gnarly back half of a baby deer carcass. Blood got all over me and I have no extra clothes before work. EWWWWW!!!!

I had a weird dream last night where Ashley Danowski visited the ranch and we shredded.

Plan on making a video at the ranch and hitting pigbeater in the barn. But 9/10 times I say i'm going to film, I don't.

It's been a week straight of 100+ temperatures

I don't like getting below 150 lbs. I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 139 lbs. Looks like I have at least 11 lbs to gain by Worlds. Don't know why this steak diet isn't working. maybe it's the vast ammount of coffee I drink on a daily basis.

James, you should send me that house info so I can go check them out. I have only been able to find a couple of places that mean our needs

Had a little barefoot sesh. Hit flail both sides a couple different ways. Tough move. I tried of bunch of weird stuff like toe in gyro quantum set. Hard to explain really. Also footed flip e-walk! which is huge for me. especially barefoot. Ducked a leggy atomic, pretty fun stuff.

Heck yeah James! It's fun to mess with weird tricks. Glad to hear you played by yourself.

Played today and filmed

Couldn't string worth beans so it's just a bunch of big tricks. Including flip janiwalker--yay

Shut up James, just because your 2 pothead friends don't answer your phone calls doesn't mean you have to bitch about it. Get over it.

Ok, another day off in McCall, ID. Too bad my friend who lives here is out of town for the weekend. I haven't kicked footbag in two weeks. I've been away in the backcountry of the Payette National Forest where there isn't a scrap of paved earth for 40 miles. My next project is elsewhere on the Payette NF, but that's still up in the air. I've got one more week left in this session before I go back to Eugene for a week off. My mom wants me to go to California with her, but I'd rather go to Montana for a few days. Anyway, I'm planning on calling some people today, so if you read this on the 7th of July and haven't heard from me yet, expect a call.

Byrin is absolutely ridiculous at footbag. watch his new video.

Been obsessed with this band called Múm for the past few days. the website I posted in the kicking circle (randomsummer.com) is actually about their band. they are an icelandic band. "Múm offers a delicate mixture of glitch electronica, chamber instruments (accordian, trumpet, bells, clarinet, violin, piano) and atmospheric vocals". I just noticed that I listen to a lot of icelandic bands. Ben Frost is a pimp

Was gonna make a short tricks movie but my computer does not have any editing software. and it has 44 viruses. one of which is a trojan virus. Once I finally erase everything on that computer and start all over it'll all be good. Been trying to figure it out for two months now though.

It still feels surreal that I hit whirlwalk. It's one of those tricks that I never thought I'd hit. decided to try it for shits and giggles, and actually hit it.

Footed flip big apple. don't know how. I've never hit flip symp torque

Gonna shred today. and watch byrin's new video about 100 more times. I want his style.

Dude, I can probably fix your computer if you busted it out sometime. I'm pretty good at fixing lame ass computers.

I got drunk yesterday by 3pm. I'm home alone. I'm so bored.

Going to go look at a 3 bedroom at 3pm. Struggling to find 4 bedroom places so I'm hoping to find a 3 bedroom w/ an extra room that can easily be made into a fourth bedroom. One that would be actual bedroom size. It'll make the place cheaper overall too.

Looked at that three bedroom. There can definitely be a huge 4th bedroom added in the basement. The entire backyard, which is pretty big, is all cement which means lots of footbag. The people that own it are renting it for super cheap, they are even talking about going as low as $700-900/month which I doubt they'll do. they could easily charge $1200/month. it's a 10 month lease which is perfect for rilatron and his Summer Idaho Adventures.

Hope that they call back. they need to rent it by next thursday. Don't know if they're down for renting to a bunch of guys. the last few renters left the place in immaculate condition. Jere's the only one I'm worried about. He likes to throw things

Word up, Kevin and Co.

Just finishing up the last couple of days of my time off in Shelby. I'm no longer single. I popped the question yesterday and I'm getting married. We haven't set the date yet cause we're still trying to figure everything out about that. So, look forward to the bachelor party next time I come through. Since I need to save up for being in hell (hitched) for the rest of my life, I have to work for the next two months straight, non-stop. I think the next time I take t/o will be around the 1st of September, so you'd better be ready to party when I come through.

Other than that, I haven't been up to much. Just got my fifth tattoo done and it hurts like hell, not so much from the ink, but from my shoulder being in an awkward position for the better part of three hours. But, it's badass. My fiancee's brother is a tattoo artist, so I got it done for free.

Here's the pic: Image

Gotta go, the library lady is bitching at me.

Anywho, look forward to seeing the MFA when I come back. Now I get to look forward to another 15 hour drive back to Yuma, CO. Fun.

Yo Sam. Props on getting married. I'll definitely be living in Missoula the next time you come through.


Kevin, is that the house we looked at that one day with the cement shred pad out back? Anyways, that sounds awesome though. I don't think I'll be ready to move by next Thursday though.

It's not that same place. This place is much nicer and literally the whole backyard is cement. It's a large yard too. Doubt they'll call back. Messaged someone through craigslist to check out another place as well. Ty and Jacki might rent their place if it doesn't sell. So that's always an option as well...although I wouldn't mind living elsewhere. Been there for a year already.

Was bored at work so checked out the women seeking men on craigslist. There are some strange people on there looking for love in all the wrong places.

String length has been absolutely terrible since right b4 ShrEdmonton :? Feel like I stopped improving around the Winter time.

How do I get better at footbag?

Thinking about going straight-edge until Worlds. I admire those people. It's hard as hell to do imo.

Article from the Spring Kaimin:

UM footbaggers set to kick off annual showcase
Story by Bill Oram | Apr. 5, 2007
Montana Kaimin


Kicking a ball isn’t hard, but doing it with style can be considerably more difficult.


It’s truly awesome to watch someone kick it over his or her head, then between the legs while spinning, all so fast that you wish life came with a remote control so you could rewind and watch it again. And maybe again.

Such a display is typical practice for members of the Missoula Footbag Alliance. An ASUM-recognized student group, the club is comprised of around 10 regular members who share a passion for the sport of footbagging.

It’s not hacky sack – as the footbaggers are quick to point out. Footbagging is more of an individual sport in which the goal is to challenge yourself to string together as many tricky combinations – with sport names like “your mom,â€
