That's weird how your weather kinda just goes from being cold and then goes for a few weeks of being alright, then kicks your ass with 90 degrees. That blows.

Nice bag. :D

You planted when you weren't supposed to plant and you didn't plant when you were supposed to. :P

Catacomb should have a plant, and Mobius definitely should not.

Nice tricks though.

Basics!!

Totally forgot about E-walk yesterday.


It's weird like sailing because I use my weak side quantum and strong side pixie but it's harder for me to get a regular quantum or atomic set...the pixie helps somehow. I'll film it thursday night and i'll see what you think.

if I ever tried frantic sets I'd have to do it that way too. Sailing's weird because it feels the same both sides. . . but that's because I'm probably "el"ing the flip pixie dex.

I played at snotop last night. Got a few people who hacked to watch and told them to go onto youtube and search "footbag". They could actually see double downs which was nice. You know the way people are just like "duuuuh" when you show them fast dexes? Yeah well they were like "HE DID IT TWICE!!!!"

when are you done with school? We should hit up rochester one of these days. I told Doug that we'd make the trip ourselves so he's not the one paying $120 for gas each time.

1. Beven Skaggsman- Great runs, good style, supple calves.
2. Ben Roscoe- I love how effortless and relaxed you look when you play.
3. Ben Rea- Nice tiltless, just keep working.

I know the guy was trying to be nice but wow, that just fucking made me feel like shit. Like all of these two years practicing the hours and the passion I put in and I get. "Nice tiltless..."

Nice fucking tiltless...

I'm finally starting to really drill flipside atomic. Illusions too (waited long enough, eh) it make me happy to have those down because I felt retarded not being able to do it. It was a bad choice to neglect it. Well, it's another thing i can check off of my neglected basics list. I think the last thing really is flip pixie. Which still has no progress...woo! 5 months and counting of pixie drilling every session and NO progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 13, 2008 I wrote: i want to do Atom>atom - Close, will hit it soon
i want to soldify flip atomic - Pretty much DONE
i want to get my quantum set back - DONE and got it flipside
i want to hit drifter bs - DONE
i want to hit blurry whirl bs - One sided so far, will hit them soon
i want to get my double dexes solidified - Havnt even done 5 attempts since winter

on flip i need to:

Clean illusion big time - DONE
solidify pixie - still no
solidify atomic - Pretty much DONE
hit drifter - DONE
hit any double dex and have hit clean - No
learn flip sailing on spare time - No

Updated the list...pretty pleased with the results.

what are you doing to drill your flip pixie?

sometimes just getting clean, deep, high sets are more important than repeated plo's and smear/pixie ss mirage drills.

what are you doing this weekend? Wanna go to Rochester and shred with Douglas and Ian?

Im just doing pixies...i cant do PLO drills. when i say drilling im just doing it, im just doing pixie sets...they just dont work, i'll show you man. its hard to explain online.

This weekend I'm pretty free'd up so if you wanna shred tomorrow or something we can. graig could come again, he hasnt had much time to play but he really wants to so that would be good for him.

i dont really want to make a trip to rochie, i just wanna stay home today i think. sorry. tomorrow i have a math exam at 8 am but that shouldnt interfere.
