I kicked yesterday in the alley for 30mins.

-footed flip stepping mirage at least 3 times
-butter>diving clip>rpt (8 contacts)
-butter>far pickup> rpt(8 contacts)

thats about it. My good step/blurry is almost nonexistent now and legovers have gotten really inconsistent. Argh!!!

Kicked with Josh on Wednesday.
I played real bad. Josh was doing good. He hit 93 legovers, the most i've ever hit was 8

!

Here's two shots from stuff i'm working on.

Session w/ Nathan today at IP. 2h30

Haven't played since Sunday, but it feels like its been longer.

Highlights:
-Zooming butterfly
-Zooming osis
-Ducking clip>diving clip>ducking clip>footed diving clip, but i was so close! It was right on my foot!

My flip zooming(i hope i'm doing it right) isn't too far off either. DSOs bs, flip DLO, zooming ducking(assuming my zooming IS zooming), zooming whirl, smog, and paradons all seem feasible in the near future/months, only if i have enough time to kick.

Nice ducking combo and zoom tricks. Zooming always looks super styley. When you say zooming whirl do you mean osis>gyro whirl or osis>spinning whirl or something else?

xXLoss_of_ControlXx · Post by **xXLoss_of_ControlXx** » 06 Sep 2007 17:48

Yeah i guess its more of a gyro whirl.

Today has to be one of the worst days this year.

School was actually fun today. Hung out and watched a 2 square match afterward. Went home, sat outside with some lemonade and relaxed, until i looked towards my garage and i noticed my bike was missing. Checked the basement and garage, it was nowhere to be found! Told my dad then went back outside and noticed that the chain to the back gate wasn't hooked on. I was fucken enraged. Spent an hour walking through alleys, looking at backyards for my $400 bike(i got it for free from my dad's friend and spent countless hours working on it). About a block away i noticed a garage with its door a foot off the ground and someone spray painting something. I banged on the door and the guy was just painting his car(kinda suspicious to me). My dad found me and told me to forget about it and said he'll buy me a new bike, but i really dont just want this person to fucken just get away, and fucken bikes cost so much money!

Went home, beat the shit out of my punching bag, broke 5 pens while doing my homework, and took a 30min nap. I'm still mad, but not even as close as i was when i saw the chain wasn't on the back gate. What the fuck!!?!?!?! I just want to break everything!

EDIT: Okay, so the bike was $500! Man, i still can't get over the fact that it was stolen. Someone just came in and stole my bike? Seems like someone planned it out, or its a real cruel joke, cause my dad was home but he works late shift so he sleeps and my dog just let the person in? and the person knew where the bikes were? I have a feeling someone planned it out. UGH! i cant get over it!

Sorry to hear bout your bike, man. I've had 2 taken from me and it sucked about as hard as getting dumped by a dumb fat chick each time. At least the bike won't say mean things that make you say and/or do dumb things in retaliation that only make you look truly pathetic in front of the bikes family and really hot cousin whom you were trying to score on the rebound cuz she had a frame that looked like it could be taken for long rides without wearing out your nuts.

Yeah...

Hope things work out for ya.

It seems to me you rode your bike like a candle in the wind.

xXLoss_of_ControlXx · Post by **xXLoss_of_ControlXx** » 07 Sep 2007 19:25

I'm over it now, still feels weird that someone just came in like that.

Frank_Sinatra · Post by **Frank_Sinatra** » 11 Sep 2007 05:29

Yeah, I've had some bikes stolen, too. I had an SE Quadangle that broke my heart to have stolen:

Kind of like that one, actually the 'classic' frame:

People always used to ask me if they could buy it, and I always refused. It was kind of a remnant of when I was in my early teens and fucked around with skateboarding & bmx racing & bmx freestyle. I never got good at any of that, but a friend of my brother's (and a nemesis of mine) got real good at bmx racing. Anyway, it was a pretty big part of my life for a while.

People stealing bikes makes me want to go all Code of Hammurabi & give out chopped hands like candy at a parade.

If you have homeowners insurance (you should) then it will be covered. And rates shouldnt go up for a bicycle.

You're the man now dawg!

NYJ was a blast and i'm sad at how quick it felt. I feel like it would've been as good as last year or better if we finished the game of golf. Don't get me wrong, this year was good, but last year was better. I did a write up on my facebook, maybe i'll paste it later.

Thanks to all for taking the time to come out and keep this event alive.

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 06 Jan 2008 23:14

Dude, it seems like you step it up every year playing squares @ NYJ. It's so fun to watch you play defense and just keep sending shots back that I didn't think you were able to play. I noticed you stopped doing that blind scorpion kick...

xXLoss_of_ControlXx · Post by **xXLoss_of_ControlXx** » 09 Jan 2008 21:44

When I comes to competition i don't fuck around.

Okaaaayyyy, anyways...

I played in my basement for a good 45minutes today. 10 minute warm up in Cale's Nastases. Then around 30 in my G-G-G-units. I know i'm real inconsistent and unconditioned right now so i mostly worked on clippers, butterflies, far legovers, osis(i can't osis anymore!), and ducking clippers.

Highlights:
-Butterfly>far legover>rpt>DATW>pause catch my breath>mirage>pickup>drop
-Flip swirl(3rd time)
-Ripwalk bs
-Symp Whirl!(gotta show it to someone cause i feel like its iffy and i lean forward too much)
