Don't worry about WoW, I've decided to give my account to my sister when she moves out of the city at the end of the month. What will I do instead? I have no idea - maybe get back into Morrowind! I've never actually beaten it yet (but at one point I had, like, 3/4 of the island expored) so maybe I should do that for the sake of saying that I beat it.

Shred has been good. Tonight was really good, actually - I was playing pretty genuine throughout. My strings were short but the diversity and technical difficulty aspect of them were so much higher. I felt like I was Dave and Jim :).

Some of the highlights that I can remember...

- Nemesis
- Gauntlet bs
- Gyro Whirling Rake
- Slicing? (Gyro Rev. Swirling) Mirage
- Ripped Warrior x 3 (new record, but I know can beat it)
- Tomahawk > Stepping Whirl x 2 bsos (ended the string with Mullet > Stepping Whirl)
- Tomahawk x 8
- 7 contacts of Tomahawk > Spinning Whirl
- Maelstrom > Alpine Blurry Whirl
- Alpine Blurry Whirl > Far Swivel
- Janiwalker > Blurriest, Sunilwalker and some other fivers bsos
- Sunilwalker > Alpine Blurry Whirl bsos
- Muted Ducking Pdx Torque bsos
- Alpine Blurry Whirl > Big Apple bs
- Ripped Warrior > Janiwalker > Food Processor (inspired by Mr. Skaggs!)
- Tomahawk > Blurry Whirl > Spinning Whirl > Mobius > Pdx Blender > Tomahawk > Blurry Whirl > Spinning Whirl > Mobius > Pdx Blender


I've been having an idea for a video for a while now, but unfortunately it's too cold outside to play. I'll have to wait until spring :(.

Gyro rev swirling pdx mirage?????
That last combo is so huge!
That's another thing I don't like about Oblivion, is that the "fog of war" isn't black like in Morrowind, so you can't really just "explore everywhere" as easily (which I really like to do...)

Props on a 10 fearless string. The fact that it's a drill is even sicker.

I also really like the muted ducking pdx torques. Those are so hard and stylish.

No way could I touch those drills :lol: !

A one minute blog video for you guys. Unfortunately as soon as the camera came out, I lost so much energy and was really hard on myself to hit good stuff that, well, I didn't.

Still managed one or two good things though...

First trick and last combo were incredible. The last one is a big personal milestone I bet... congrats.

I was going to put out a new video, but after seeing Jim and Dave's new videos I deem it unworthy for all other eyes to watch. :lol:

Footbag is slowly coming back. I've been on a pretty chillax break, kicking once (maybe twice) a week since Hackrifice. I'm starting to get back into it now, with the coming of the new year and all. Eric's bag that he gave me is breaking in quite nicely - it's my choice session bag and has been for the past two weeks now. I can't wait until it's fully broken in.

I've had some really good highlights over the past few months, but I can hardly remember them now. One from Friday's YMCA sesh was a new Ripped Warrior record of 5. I was really really stoked about that because they all felt so easy and controlled. Oh yeah, and my new Blurry Whirl record is 17. I was reaaaally stoked about that one as well. Other than that though... I've learnt how to do Blazing sets, and that's about it!


I was just kidding about not showing the video, but I still think it's not worthy :P

Man, everybody is blazing now! Sick! Great video Byrin, it's hard to believe, but I think your style/form got even better!

I liked the first run the most. Oh, and your blazing drills. Very impressive. I also liked the cameos of shredmonton.

I loved the maelstrom > blurry torque. More than the montage attempt, I think. And... gyro rev symple swirl > ducking pdx torque? I think my favourite things to watch you do are nuclear, surging, and stepping ducking. I love how effortless your shuffle looks.


Also, nice bag :D
Let me know when you need another.

I enjoyed this video a lot! Your shred is very aesthetically pleasing to watch Byrin :) I also liked the "club" vibe that the vid had. Thanks, I hope for more!
