ASMUS IS BACK! i hope..

I had a sesh today.. SWEET! My legs where going crazy and so was my head.
When Ken Somolinos says that footbag is also for disconnecting and stress relief he is telling the truth!

I started with practicing ollie for 20 minutes. It's so fucking hard.
But it's fun to really study the motions you do and focus.
I got a couple of tries that might have been there.

And then I played footbag.. YEAH Asmus played fucking footbag!
I played with the Travoltabag which has one of the sweetest patterns ever.
It is also a really big and light bag - perfect for chill sessions..
Long warmup. Then a bit of schooling. (Osis, Legover, Flip ATW, Clippers)
Then I hit Gee Whiz BS (Gyro Whirling Inside) that was cool..
Couple of runs. Stretch. Shower with a beer. Aaaaah..
Felt so amazing.

Afterwards I popped my knee like 20 times in a row.

But they don't really hurt.. I am going to stay off for a couple days again though..

Nuff for now.

Haha all footbag no life this time. Exact opposite of the latest couple of posts..

New page! How fitting..

Yeah Asmus!

i'm glad you played footbag, but i hope your knee is alright

cool about you getting the hang of the elusive ollie. being able to go over/ onto stuff gives one a huge sense of accomplishment.

Thanks for the comment Tay! You rock!

No footbag in here..

Knees feels good today. Left groin hurts like a bitch though..

I love this video.. SKATE VS CHILL:

Do you have the word winter depression in the rest of the world?
It basically means that you get really sad because of it is dark and cold all the time.
I feel like going into hibernation right now.
ZZZ

Here are 2 stupid photos of my bestfriend Gordi from saturday..

He crawled up on this pole. We tried talking him into jumping into a bush but when he stepped out on the edge the shit broke and he fell down.
We thought he was dead for a second until he started laughing and we all cried and laughed until the sun got up.

Here he is with the piece that broke off..

Hey Ass-moose,

Good to hear that you're getting the footbag down once in a while. But no, winter depression is not a known concept where I am right now

Jeg overvejer lidt om jeg skal faa lavet mig en forbandet blog her paa modified, men jeg kan ikke rigtig tage mig sammen til det... selvom jeg rammer nyt heeeele tiden

Har selv koebt et skateboard (umuligt at gaa rundt i denne by, da afstandene er alt alt for lange!!), men faar sgu ikke brugt det til meget andet end transport. Selvom jeg en enkelt gang eller to har lavet en hederlig ollie - tror jeg!!! Giv endelig gode tips - bortset fra dem om at staa paa et sofabord og forsoege at lave en olly paa et 5kvardratmeter stort vaerelse!!

Take care, cool dude!

Yeah, that's a great way to start a new page.

That's fantastic. My ankle is still putting a halt on all footbag related activity. Sucks. I'm drilling djing like mad though, a live Digitalism set was on the radio as I drove home tonight and I literally couldn't sit still I was digging it that much. I'm getting as excited about djing as I used to get about footbag. I'm getting a behringer BDM3000 (I think that's what it's called) for christmas. Beyond excited. I checked out Burial... siiiiiick! I'll have to check the whole album out and likely buy it, if the rest is as good as that. Real chill. Kudos.

p.s. I'm still hugely in debt at the moment... it probably won't be till late january that I can pay you for the art.... sorry man! I don't mean to be messing you around but blowing your car up when you're already in debt really screws with the finances ><

Asmus · Post by **Asmus** » 11 Dec 2007 09:45

JD: No worries man! I am stoked that you are stoked on DJing and Burial.
I have chosen not to sell any paintings yet. I will bring you one for worlds for free if you still want one by then.

Anne: Check the skateboarding thread in the arts and leisure section.
Jeg synes du skal lave en blog. Jeg lover at hÃ¦nge ud og kommentere heeeeele tiden.

I played that kickybag game today.. It was fun.
I played a bit too hard and didn't really play well..
Only highlights I remember was Osis * 4 > run with Pixie SS Osis [bsos]
And it felt good to hit a swirl here and ripwalk there..
I ended the session with hitting terrage bs and quantum legover bs barefoot
FOOTBAG!

Next session will be easy. Probably only 2 add schooling..

I got both of my postcards today. STOKED! They where both really cool.
Especially Tom's. He is the best..

I watched trainspotting again yesterday. Damn I love that movie!

Here is a drawing I just did on facebook:

Not really interesting..

I gotta run. Peace!

Asmus · Post by **Asmus** » 12 Dec 2007 08:14

Hehehe..

I had a really fun night last night..

Really tired today though..

I have used all my money for this month.
And I still have alot of gifts to buy and alot of beers to drink. DAMMIT!

Here is my new sketchbook:

And here is the first page:

The Coup is really sweet.. Like a mix of Outkast and Dead Prez.

I am suck up for rap love songs like "Ijustwannalayaroundalldayinbedwithyou" by The Coup and "Mind Sex" by Dead Prez ..
Now you know..

I got "Wall and Piece" a book by and about Banksy from the library the other day. I am not the biggest fan of his work but this book has been a big eye opener. He is really clever and he has done so much sweet stuff.
Sample of Banksy work:

You probably all know his work.. but anyways..
What I am trying to say if that if you dig street art you should check out this book.
On amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Wall-Piece-Banksy/
Here is a pretty good article on Banksy:

yeah man I've definitely seen his stuff. It's really funny sometimes. I'm asking for a bunch of street art collections for christmas. Pretty excited about that.

So wait what's up with you and no footbag? Are you just healing from chronic pain or a bad injury? Just taking a break? You must have mentioned it in an earlier post but I couldn't find it

. Anyway, just wanted to say if I don't make it to worlds this summer hopefully I can put out a few videos within the next while and that could make up for me not being there. Maybe a Syracuse shred video with me and Ben Rea in the next week or so? But I wish I could go to Worlds. I have time to plan anyway.

do you think you'll learn things regular and switch when you skate since you're a footbag player? Both sidedness!

I definitely stole that book from the library

great and somber hip hop, dark and experimental music and stream
of conscious lyrics, full of disturbing imagery and rich fields of associations .

check em out ! cannibal ox also have one of those milestone "love songs" -
its called "the f-word", just a lil quote to make sure you get hooked :

...the big bang theory, what is this a trend ? you ask a girl out and the universe expands...

Banksy would be proud of you..

I heard a couple of songs with El-P and i definitely like him. Not as much as Aesop but I still digg!
I am not sure I have heard anything from Ox. But I think he is on Definite Jux which usually means quality!
They are on my list.

I love it when you quote rap songs, big boy..

Darkshredder wrote:So wait what's up with you and no footbag?

My knees acts up once in a while.. It nuffin that a good break can't cure. It's usually when the weather gets cold and when I play too much in front of my computer without warming up.

There is no excuses for not going to Prague! We gotta hang out man!

Darkshredder wrote:do you think you'll learn things regular and switch when you skate since you're a footbag player? Both sidedness!

Right now I just wanna learn something.

But maybe later on. I pretty much just wanna learn oldschool funkyness and hang out and be part of the scene. I am such a poser!

If the last entry got you interested in The Coup his myspace has some free DL's.
http://www.myspace.com/thecoupmusic GOOD STUFF!

Enough procrastinating back to the homework!

YEEEH! asmus is playing footbag again!

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 15 Dec 2007 18:22

No sell art? Fair nuff. I'm not making it to worlds next year man... pity, prague would have been amazing, but short of winning the lottery it aint happenin. The plan is for the year after *crosses fingers worlds is in europe in 09*

I just have to finish one monstrous paper on school massacres (Psychology and English).
And then I have holliday!

I feel like making a post about art and style and some of my thoughts mixed with some of the thoughts of the masters.
But I don't really know where to start neither where it will develop.
So I will keep on thinking and maybe someday put it down on paper.

All I want for christmas is pants and artsy stuff (books and tools).

I am getting close to finishing my biggest art project this far.
And it will be cheap for you guys to get a hand on. (Probably almost free..)
I am still keeping it secret though..
I am also talking about a gallery about carrying it.
When I finish it I will try to get into screen printing. That would be slick..

I am the last boy left in my class. 20 girls and one boy.
That might sound sweet but it really isn't.
Seriously today a girl from my class asked out loud during one of the lections "Do anybody have some spare sanitary towels?"

Taylor

Asmus · Post by **Asmus** » 18 Dec 2007 16:10

I guess you got my letter Daryl. We are the greatest!

I'm glad you got it aswell and enjoyed it Tay.
I was a bit scared that I did not put enough stamps on it.

I still haven't started on the paper.
10 pages in 2 days. Damn..

I want this T-shirt so bad! Mildred is the best.

I don't really like Ales (The beer not the footbag player).

Flat Eric Rocks! (So does Mr. Oizo)

Run with Pixie SS Clipper [bs] and Quantum SS Clipper [bs]
Paradon > run with DOD and almost DATW [bsos]
Motion (finally!) I've had this off my foot so many times.
Ducking Gyro Pickup off foot [bs] Stylaaaah..
The motion was clean and deep just like a good vagina.

I forgot I hit DOD swirl aswell..
