Had another session seein as I can't make it to Tempe to kick with Conrad and Blake :(

mirage > illusion > lo > rpt > mirage > illusion > pickup > rpt > mirage x3 > ss mirage > rpt > illusion x3 > ss illusion
Pdx Drifter > Pdx Whirl > Pdx Torque > Pdx Whirl

Would like to hit;
Pdx Drifter > Pdx Whirl > Pdx Torque > Blurry Whirl
and
Pdx Torque > Pdx Drifter > Pdx Whirl

Some other things too, but none are that blog worthy except footing ripstein mid-string :twisted: :roll: . I can hit it on command with starting it, but that's the closest I've come to actually hitting it mid-run!

Had two sessions, one last night for like 30 min's, and one today for the same amount of time.

Last night;
Pdx Flail, one side only
Pdx Egg, was like HOLY CRAP my eggs on that side were working! Other side was close, but I couldn't really work those that long.
Ps Whirl > Rip, Yay!

Today's;
Pdx Drifter bs
Torque x2 > Rip

Ehh, it was an ok session. My legs weren't really into it though.

Thanks Aleksei! It does feel good to have a move click like that!

Had a lil session today. I'm not even as sick I was yesterday, and yet I played harder yesterday! Ohh well.

Drifter x like 6 or 7
Stepping Ss Swirl, 2nd try! Finally!
Mobius Bs
Marius > run
Pdx Egg, footed mid-run
Ps Whirl, Cleanest and easiest one yet!
Tomahawk > Rip 8O
Ripped Warriors mid-run every where! Now if only flip stepping will come along!
Stepping Ss Whirl, 1st try, mid-run, I wondered if I could hit it out of curiosity

It's all good. Now it's time for a break!

This was too good to just *EDIT* it into the last post.

Just hit;
Whirling Swirl > Symple Swirl > Symple Rev Swirl!! Such a sweet thing this is!

Gonna try to hit Ripstein either in front of Whirling Swirl or behind Symple Rev Swirl. Probably try after Symple Rev Swirl :wink: .

Josh,

Great stuff. Keep it up. Now you just have to start playing in front of crowds so when you compete you will be more used to that. Start doing some demo's in your area. There was a kid in Glendale that started his own club so shoot him an email.

Maybe one day I will get out there to kick. Check my blog for update.

Hope all is going good with you and your woman!

talk with you soon!
later...

@Mike, Great to hear from ya dude! It's been too long since you've kicked! Demo's? Eh, I don't know, lol! I might see about doing some. I need to find a job first though.

Mirage > Ss Mirage > rpt > Illusion > Ss Illusion > rpt > Ss Butter > Near Mirage > Clip > Bubba > rpt > Clip > Pdx Mirage > rpt > Clip > Pdx Illusion drop (Got to close to the computer desk)
Tap > Atom > rpt
Pdx Drifter > Torque > Rip > run
Pdx Drifter > Rip > rpt
Tapping Torquescrew, Spinal Tapscrew?
Symp. Torque

Not much happened after Tapping Torquescrew. It got really hot, really quick. I'm done for today. There is some good news. I played without my knee brace, and there wasn't any pain! And my shin isn't killing me on the opposite leg! Then again, I didn't try any Ps Whirls, or very many 5's today. Tapping Torquescrew and Symp Torque are the only tricks I tried above 4 adds today.

Wow! It's been awhile since I've posted in this. Geez, I need to play more :wink: .

I haven't played for awhile. Which is kinda sad, but I'm not really digging the whole solo session's anymore. Maybe Friday I can kick with the crew! A year ago yesterday, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. All 4 of them. Then today, I went back and had the doc remove some excess gum, that was overlapping my tooth. It was causing quite a bit of pain every now and then. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore!

Just thought I'd share this with my fellow footbaggers.

Ohh, I thought of a kool 6 fearless. Matador > Blurry Whirl > Pdx Torque > Ps Whirl > Mobius > Symp Torque. It would be sweet to hit that!

Had a sweet session last night with Conrad and Blake!

Blake was doing good. Needs to work on his concepts a little more, and learn to slow down more :wink: .

Conrad was doing really good. He had alot of really good runs and some kool combo's. Plus a new move, that's under wraps for now :wink: .

It felt great to get out and kick again! I hadn't kicked in 10 days! Boy that's seems like forever :oops: .

Highlights;
Torque x5 > Symp Torque, after Conrad said to hit symp torque out of torque right after I started the run!
Miraging Pick-up
Tapping Miraging Pick-up footed 8O
Mobius > Ps Whirl, sweet new link!

That's all I can remember! But we had a good time, and Blake is real excited to have his new Munster Bag!

Had a little session last night. It was nice, trying out a pair of new shorts that work really well! It was weird, this session didn't need any warm-up at all!

I think I've figured out my flip stepping now. I need to hold the delay just a bit longer than I use to.

Lets see, I never did blog last week. Ohh well, whatever I remember from it I'll throw in today's session :wink:

Had a great session with Blake and MIKE!!!!!!!! Yes that says Mike. From a 6 month stint, with a weird ankle and other misc. things, he's back! His ankle has been worked on, and is still getting worked on(?). But he was glad to get out and kick. He's still the same ole' Mike, long tiltless, just not as long as before, with various 3's thrown in for fun! Mike, It's about time you got back out to shred! Glad you're back.

Blake was doing ok. He had some decent runs, and got alot of help on certain parts of his game.

I was doing good. I was glad to see Mike out kicking again.

Highlights;
Flip Blurry Whirl, Mid-run, out of the blue, Sauced!
Flip Ripped Warrior, YAY!!!!! About time!!!!
Alpine Blurry Whirl, Yay!
Slap, From last week
Blurrage, From last week
(Ducking clip > Spin Clip > rpt) > Rip b2b > (Infinity > Torque > rpt) > Drifter b2b, felt really good!
(Whirl > Rip > rpt) > (Rev Whirl > Rip > rpt) > run

That's all I can remember from today, and last week. Time for a hot bath. G'night Footy land!
