it was so much fun going to the MI event... I can't believe those guys at worlds are actually on OUR camera... I wish I was there, too *tear*

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 12 Aug 2007 05:22

both of you, I wish you were here too!!!!!!!

let me tell ya,

I Introduced myself to Jim Penske, he knew me already
I introduced myself to Daryl Genz, he knew me already
Tom Mosher introduced himself to me, I said, "I'm Paul Gressett" he said, "I figured"
the first thing Matt Cross said to me was"Paul Gressett!" and I said "Matt Cross!"

It was way cool having people I've never met, whom I look up to in footbag, ALREADY KNOW WHO I AM!!! so pimp.

I also met and shredded with Jon Schnider, Andrew Grant, Lee VanSickle

I saw countless others from the videos I watch, didn't see Dylan Fry. Hope he is coming.

Oh, by the way, what is up with canadian footbag, we got some massive players from the US, yes we do, but canada though.... you guys got MAD players.

worlds day 3

so, I saw/vasek, honza, sebastien, caro, dylan fry, JM, (word is bond my zaggin, tru dat to my homiez in da hood) and there is this guy, LEE VANSICKLE, he is van SICK-le. the dude is from TN. he is eventually going to be in BAP, he will win sick 3 and sick 1 at worlds, and be world champ after Jorden beats vasek this week in worlds. Yeah, and Lee is totally down to earth and doesn't have a big head like some of the guys that are not even as good as him. watch out for Lee. peace.

so today I learned fairy, so I did

fairy ss clipper
fairy osis
fairy mirage

and I did a couple dod's
sidewalk>ripwalk bs

Lee Vansickle challenged me to this string:

clip>whirl>mirage>clip>whirl>mirage. I hit it.

then I juggled with Jorden.
then I watched some INSANE X 26 Footbag action.

I saw a "whirrick" (sp?)(triple whirl) by jim penske
a blurry sidewalk by Jorden Moir
I saw Lon Smith
I saw Will Digges
I saw Aaron Orton
I saw several others. but, I don't remember since my brain is in mad overload from seeing stuff that don't make no sense.

met so many dudes. oh yeah, I met Erik Chan. that was righteous.
so... on with the editing.

Props for the videos. So far you're the only one I know even remotely posting live coverage of worlds. Everyone else has...disappeared. I wonder where they are.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 13 Aug 2007 20:24

i think its a whirrek named after norek who hit it on video for the first time, possibly the first time ever. it is arguably 'the'.

im sure it was cool to see penske doing it. aweosme you have met so many big names man. so many that i have not.

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 14 Aug 2007 03:33

ok, Im awake again and editing. might be done in an hour or so.

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 14 Aug 2007 03:53

while I'm thinkin about it....

Jorden intro'd himself to me when I walked up into the circle he was in, but he said he had to go. someone tossed him the bag, he said, OK, i'll do one more thing, uh..... what should I do?

SMP MANTIS

i blurted out, everyone looked at me and the comment was made that "you must have been waiting all day to say that" and I said yep and Jorden didn't say NUTHIN but with accuracy, precision, and domination executed a perfect smp mantis first try. the next day, the story was being told ... NOT of the smp mantis but the look on paul gressetts face when it was owned. LOL. back to the editing.

Hey man great to hear and see all this first hand stuff from Worlds, mucho respect and thanks for giving us a taste of what we're missing!

On the other hand though: GO OUT AND GET IN IT!! Dont bother making vids when you can be having the time of your life dude, my 2 cents!
A little post about big tricks n stuff, but videos can wait i reckon.

Cheers mate

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 14 Aug 2007 05:06

I do get in it, and will get in it, it's just that disney isn't open until later. then I will go. the fourth video will be available in just a few more minutes.

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 14 Aug 2007 06:43

well, the vid is taking forever to upload at the place I'm staying, I got to get over to worlds. sorry. it will be up tonight I'm sure.
