ah well, cool lookin at the least and probably the best executed dyno i've ever done.

I'd agree. That was the best dyno I've seen you hit. I was quite impressed, actually. Saw the crank and the scoop and knew right away it would set back up perfectly. You know my stance on this new concept we've been doing: slurry? Meh. It looks cool. Do it midstring and anyone would give a thumbs up (at least). PROPS

finally made a stamp for my footbags, works awesomly. THANKS HOLLY!
it looks cool i will have to post a pic.
im so sad now one was interested in the bags i posted. i thought they looked pretty damn appetizing.
oh well.
orders will come on their own.
footbag has been a little slow because of getting back to work and such. i will get back into the routine.

ben, HUGE score on the gig!!!! I am so jealous of you!!! I will give more tips later, as I am at work, but for now, regarding footbag :
school pendulum, atw > atw > atw > atw > datw, flapper delay, consecutive butterflies, long strings of easy moves with good style, forehead catch, ducks. do lots of kicks > 1 trick > lots of kicks > 1 trick, and if someone's been watching that for a second, THEN do a string to blow them away!
you'll be great. drink lots of water! try to film a little bit, and get some of the crowd in the filming. it could help make great promo for future gigs for you. talk soon.

I can film!yes, i can juggle. yes i have unicycled for 4 years. freestyle and mountain(offroad) i'll bring it one day...never thought of that...skatepark?! last time they didnt let me in... 
footbag? whats that?
lol, you could come if you wanted to, i dont have a set date but im pretty sure im doing it.
thanks for the tips matt. yea, i was thinking tiltless strings just to keep the bag up then bust big occasionally to keep them interested. i think this is a big step for me because it will help me perform in front of crowds.
my uncle is the man.

I used to be paid to juggle, and I did shows too. you'll do great, so many people just think they could not possibly ever juggle., and are completely captivated. flashy stuff, people really love that, wether it is 3 ball mills, or chops with clubs, easy stuff really makes an impression on people, don't try to do your hardest stuff. Doyou pass clubs? if you're going to be at worlds? bring tough twelves for me and Luchi1135.
im not going to worlds, sorry 
i can pass balls though. ive done 5 ball with my friend.
the session was alright im really trying to use flip mirage and pdx and legovers in my warm ups and drills. i have to say my legover has gotten much better after just a few weeks of drilling it for 5 minutes or so. i have also become really comfortable with doing ducking and diving butterflies instead of duck/dive clippers. also doing more duck/dive pdx mirages. my legs felt funny in the beggining though because i havnt been moving them for like the past week. stupid. i think this is the first day i havnt finished a bag in like 12 days. i think i have that many available but no one buys 'em. whatever, i like looking at them anyway. i did some good runs that started with legbeaters and atomsmashers. thats as big a move i attempted today though because i didnt want to bust too hard, i knew my body wasnt ready. few good tiltless/guiltless runs. i hat baling to clip>pickup on my flip clip. thats such a noob link and it blows. dunno why i dont just do a ripwalk or blur. meh whatever. i gotta get back into this shit. pat im sorry we avnt had a shred in a long time but i have serously been extremely busy. if i ever get time to shred i wanna go to rochester or buffalo and have a 'kickin' time (pun intended). oh, i also made this sweet pure jade bag for myself. its a little wrinkly but i dont care because i dont care about looks i just want the bag to shred well. which it does. my number one at the moment is my holly. i gave my freakshow bag to my girlfriend to practice whenever she wants to. i feel like i was pressuring her before. i said in two weeks i want her to give me a 10 minute show of her best stuff and she replied 'uh oh'. so i take it she hasnt touched it. she knows how much it means to me though. i got back on my unicycle today which was nice. i managed a 12' static jump that was very intimidating in the past years but i felt pretty confident this time around. it makes me want to get back into trials and muni. ah well. thats the update for now.
peace out.
