A long run with a bunch of Rev Whirls, Whirl > Rev Whirl bsos, Blurry Rev Whirl bsos, Rev Tomahawk (maybe new?) and toe rev whirl bsos. All for Erik Chan while he was on.

That's all I can remember. I was dead tired after that session! My knee is kinda bothering me today. Ohh well, I guess I'll take a few days off then. It's not like I don't do that anyway between sessions.

Thanks guys!

Mike, I hope you get a good adjustment so we can maybe net and freestyle on friday!

Just had another downtime session. I didn't do the same thing I did last time. But it was still just as fun. I didn't do any runs, but I worked each trick multiple times in a row. I did do some runs when warming up, but that's about it, plus some drill like runs/combo's.

Most of them are trick > hand catch.

Highlight's;
Swirl x 5 bs
Rev Swirl x 3 bs, flip is new!
Whirl > Osis > rpt > Rev Whirl > Osis > rpt
Dyno > Infinity > rpt, 20 times bs
Blender > Infinity > rpt, 10 times bs
Toe Drifter x 10 bs
Toe Whirl x 10 bs
Toe set DLO x 3 bs, I believe flip is new!
Ducking Butter > Diving Butter rpt, YAY!!!!
Diving Butter x 2 bs
Far Swirl x 4 bs
Infinity swirl x 3 One side, couldn't hit flip.
Symple Swirl x 4 bs, flip is becoming a lil more consistent
Egg x 3 bs
Pdx Egg x 2 bs, both are new in shoes, I've hit strong barefoot
Clip set DLO x 3 bs
Paradon x 5 bs, hit flip first try! I think I'm gonna keep drilling it every session

Then for the Coup D'Etat, I tried to hit either Blizzard > Trip or Trip > Blizzard. Footed Blizzard > Trip. Wasn't able to step out of any of the Trips that I hit. Boy do Quantums SUCK!!!!!!!

That's it for tonight. I scraped my leg up pretty bad doing something. Don't know what I did, but I have a red scrape that's about an inch and a half long. Ohh well. It'll heal!

I should really post a pic of my two Abshire's and my new Net shoe's.

Later mah fizzied friends.

Hey Kevin, thanks man. I tried that challenge today, but my Pdx Whirls were a little off. Maybe next time.

Had a online session. I was planning on kicking, but wasn't planning on doing an online session until Kyle Hewitt had a kool online session. We even had 2 rippin runs and 2 sick 1 contests. He won the rippin's, and I won the sick 1's. It was fun. Ben Skagg's was the judge, watcher, starter person, lol. Thanks for doing that Ben!

After that, had a good session with a couple of people watching and giving requests. Taylor Chantiulle? Sorry if I butchered your last name! Zeb and supposedly Kyle was there too. Got some fun, and hard, challenges from Taylor. Plus a couple of nasty one's from Zeb.

Highlight's;
Ripped Warrior bsos!!!! It felt so sweet!! Had Blurry Whirl bsos footed in the seal!
Dyno > Drifter > Osis rpt
Dyno > Dada > Rip rpt > small run
Fairy Pickup > Nallegam rpt, footed. Good workout for my fairies
Fairy Pickup > Drifter > Pdx Mirage, bs, but didn't rpt
Blur > Symp Mirage > Toe Whirl rpt > small run
Dimwalk > Rip > Blurry Lo, wasn't able to rpt, but did hit it bs
Atomic Drifter bsos!!!!
60 Infinities as a warm-up
Footed Blade Runner, again!
Spin Clip > Rip rpt > small run
Ducking Clip > Diving Clip > Ss Butter rpt > small run
Footed Flip Alpine Fairy Beater
Footed Phoenix, haven't hit this in FOREVER :oops: :cry:

And that was all online! I'm sorry to Taylor if I really did butcher your name, and if I missed any of the challenges you gave me. It was alot of fun though. I was probably averaging around 15 - 20 contacts on my runs. Interesting, why can't I do that when I play with C-Rad and Blake? I know what it is! I have music here to listen too, while when I kick with them we don't listen to music! That has to be it! We'll find out whenever Mike gets his injury recovering butt back out and kicking!

I want to get me some laver's. I'm tired of my Goonits! If anyone has a relativley good pair of laver's, size 9.5, and wouldn't mind handing them over to another bagger! I'm here! Shoot me a pm. If not I'll just save up and get me some laver's later. I think my Goonits still have a lil ways to go before dying.

Had a 2 hour online session today. It was great! Josh Rose, Ben Skaggs, and Zac Miley (for awhile, until he magically dissappeared). Lot's of great stuff. Lot's of conversation, and challenges.

Lots of Ducking
Gyro Osis > Spinning Osis rpt


There's more, but my stupid laptop restarted while I was stretching and in the shower. So I don't have what all I was challenged too any more. Stupid computer. Ohh well, it was a great session.

It was really fun, I got lot's of compliments about my game and my style. Ben said that my style was like Felix's, which I appreciated, then he said I was a mix of Felix and someone else. Josh said that my style looked alot like Chad's, which I also really appreciated, because I'm kinda trying to get my game alot like his.

We also had a long and interesting convo about people's styles in shoes. That was a good convo. Lots of interesting point of veiws about that subject!

Ok, that's enough babbling. I'm tired and I'm going to bed. G'night modified.
