We had a nice freezing cold session tonight. I landed my first toe whirl and came really close a symposium whirl. I also landed another couple flipside legbeaters. The flipside still needs a lot of work, that legbeater is just a fluke I swear. I can barely land flipside illusion, unless of course I do it uptime.

The frozen session was horrible I could never get warmed up.

We played in Jason garage tonight and it was awesome. Everyone showed up so we had a five person circle. We played two games of horse and Jason won both of them. I have been working on my string length and had some really long runs during our session. Jimmy hit his first smear during our horse game. I hit pixie osis and learned fake shower (juggling trick) yesterday at Jimmy’s house. Jason’s wife also made us some cookies and gave us leftover Halloween candy.

Good Times!

Jason had a party with all kinds of awesome food tonight.

Matt and I had a nice garage session also.

I landed my first swirl and Matt has inspired me to start trying dragons.

Blur rolled off of my foot a couple of times.

Yea, that garage session was amazing! I landed a fear last night. Cody was trying some fairy stuff so I figured I'd try it and it just kind of fell together. I hit like 5 fears and a couple fairy butterflys, whatever they're called. Flutterflys? Fimwalks? Also, if anyone reads this besides me and Cody, when I was doing the fairies I could feel and hear my knee popping. Sounds very unhealthy. Any tips? Peace.

I'm also getting a lot better and dragons. I'm making sure I serve them forward instead of the easy wraparound or rake.

i was hitting some faries yesterday, fear>atom, fairy butter>p.whirl, etc.

fairy butterfly is also known as fairy beater, or just fairy butterfly.

my advice is to not power thru it, that can cause lots of strain and leave you with messed up knees.

when setting, keep the window small, and dex fast. dont over exaggerate in other words, and plant your foot fast to keep it clean. hopefully you can figure it out before you injure yourself, if you have pain, just stop and have someone show you or watch vids (maybe anz tricks)

The knee popping thing did not sound too good; I heard it pop a few times myself. Brain Potter does fairies maybe he can give you some advice tomorrow.

I hung out with Jimmy today in between classes and we had a nice session. Jimmy saw me trying blur and decided he would try it. The only difference is he nailed it after a couple of tries. This made me even more determined to hit the trick and a few tries later I finally hit it.

We also played unicycle hockey with a tennis ball and some brooms. Jimmy was victorious 3 goals to 2 but I made a crazy half court goal. (our goals where water bottles and we were playing on a street hockey court)

We played today at Mr. Mann’s and got down on a little horse. (Mr. Mann won all three games) We have also starting filming for a new video that is going to have a Christmas theme to it. Nothing new for me but I think my stepping set is getting better. Matt is a footbag monster!

Well, last night was just me and Jason. Me and him both landed what we called the "Sir Francis Drake" (fairy same pickup, like a reverse Magellan) I'm sure there's another name for it, but we didn't know at the time and I liked it.

Anyway, I'm totally getting better and the flipside clip.

Also, Jason landed whirling swirl last night!

Peace.
