Thank god. I was seriously pissed off. I forgot April Fools still existed and thought only dooshbags sti.... oh nevermind. Great job.

That was a good one Kevin. You had the perfect amount of details to make it believable.

I've been juggling a lot more than playing footbag lately. Finally starting to figure out basic cascade with clubs. My favorite thing to do is just endurance runs of cascade with balls/clubs and basic 4-ball endurance.

Juggled for about 3 hours yesterday, and 3 more hours today. My old club record was only 12 catches. My new record is 68 catches. WOO!!!

Props on the juggling stuff. I get so sick of juggling, it just feels monotonous. I think it's mostly just the learning curve, I don't know many tricks yet.

It's funny you say that. I don't try many tricks and love the monotony of it.

did basic 3-ball cascade dropless for 6 consecutive minutes today *new personal best*

Haven't played much footbag lately. Won't have time to get any shred in until people are arriving for the jam. Will be extremely rusty but it'll be fun.

Post in my blog. It's boring talking to myself

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I completely forgot that you need to take the WPA (Writing Proficiency Assessment) to graduate. I signed up for it twice so that I'd cover my bases. The first one was a month ago. I just remembered today

The next one I'm signed up for is this saturday from 2-4.

It just so happens that our jam is that exact same day

Oh man Kevin, that really sucks.

Maybe you could pull off a miraculous 15 minute essay and then play footbag until the break of dawn? Sounds easy enough.

Hey Kevin, have you checked out they die fighting's profile out? I have been making a song with the Ryan, not Cory, from the dryest tongue. You should definitely throw down the mellotron track at the end or something.

We have to make at least one they die fighting song during the jam. I just downloaded 10 new drum kits for the FPC in FL Studio and they are pretty sick. I'm going to bring my complete collection of everything I have with me.

And I'm driving Boone Penske.

I'll see if the .flp file will work with FL7 this weekend. My computer is starting to run low on space because I keep adding music into itunes.

I've been digressing (sp?) in footbag/juggling/school/friendships/sanity lately. This jam should be a good thing to get shred motivation back up.

Ha! I'm saving it to unleash at MFJ5. It's still growing though

Woo! It's 2am and I'm 3 hours into an 8 page paper that's due at 2pm later today. Looks like it's going to be another all-nighter. 1/4 of the way done.

Procrastination is a jerk that won't leave me alone but it's all good. This is turning out to be one of the best papers I've ever written.

James, Ben, and Boone will hopefully arrive tomorrow night!

habitat · Post by **habitat** » 10 Apr 2008 06:11

Nope, Boone is getting another ride. Ben and I will be there around Noonski.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think there is a delay. We will be there before supper.

Can't wait to see you guys.

My sister just called me and my mom's blood pressure is at an outrageous level right now. My father's out of town so I might have to spend the night with her to make sure she's safe and take her to the hospital if need be

The 5th Annual Montana Freestyle Jam came to a close and was loads of fun. Thanks to everyone for making it out!

I was really frustrated with my shred. I was training hard, and then played very little the month leading up to the jam due to school work and lack of motivation.

We did a promo shred on thursday and I was playing pretty well. Not trying to shred hard but hitting some nice links and strings.
That night I tried shredding with Justin Dale but my back started to hurt so I bailed.

The next day I got some tiltless action in before having to leave for my exam. Upon my return I couldn't hit more than 10 bops no matter how hard I focused. That happened all throughout the day.

Sunday was the exact same story until the very last 30 minutes shredding with Kyle Hewitt. It sucks when you're looking forward to a jam and play like shit for the first 12 hours or so of shred, but that very last session made up for it.

New links from the final kyle hewitt session: ps whirl>gyro blender>string, ps whirl>spinning egg>string, footed double blender>super mario

a few random memories:
-porch ambient jam session
-seeing 69 hit in person for the first time
-b.s.'ing with ben, evan, zeb, and zac the final night.
-watching zac put all the juggling equipment on kyle while he slept, and then colling placing orajel on his lips so he'd wake up with them numbed
-ben's guitar hero addiction
-scott behmer being crazy/fun as usual
-watching gatesman hit spinning whirling swirl and blurry whirling swirl mid-string
-Nick's void>pdx blender>rpt>string
-Ben Skaggs consistency
-innovative trampoline shred
-beer
-juggling with alex
-passing out between the jam and the after-party

edit: I'm going to be less active in this forum. The only sections I usually visit are the blogs, kicking circle, and arts & leisure. This forum used to be much more footbag involved and I fell like it's been falling apart over the last year or two. Now it's mostly bullshit threads that will not help anyones game

Haha! Consistently dropping is more like it. You obviously didn't see my rippin' run and shred 30. Drop fest.

Sporatical_Distractions wrote:-innovative trampoline shred

I wish we could have trampoline shredded. I played with Zac at the Freedom Shredquarters on Friday, then on Sunday after frolf. I heard you almost hit eggbeating eggbeater. I footed it. So hard, but it's definitely possible. Zac footed side flipping toe stall during our Sunday session!

Thanks so much for letting us stay at your house. We really appreciate it. You guys host a great jam.

Oh, by the way, the stache is perfect. Almost too perfect.
