It's also the worst video I've ever made:

I'm officially living in my parent's basement and unemployed straight out of college. Go me!

Might play footbag today. Might get some footage.

Been working on knee delay>opp knee delay>rpt. My record is only 3 contacts. Got 5 alternating consecutive cloud kicks yesterday. Had a new run too: knee>opp knee>opp sole>back delay.

Haven't been playing much. just random 5 minute barefoot sessions every once in awhile.

got a new trick today: pixie opp switchover

also hit flip pigbeater twice. that trick is really tough for me. i have a hard time with triple dexes in general.

been listening to a lot of experimental ambient and reading lately. It's very soothing.

I started making a big tricks video. It's halfway done but it's too painful to watch. it's to an ambient song with too many slow-mos and in grayscale. I'm thinking about giving up on it.

Hilights:
-montage>sloppy string sealed with your mom on camera

-pixie opp switchover both sides and a shady tatw also all on camera (all three of these are brand new)

Dude man bro-heem, you always say your playing is bad but it always looks good and I enjoy it every time. Finish it and post it, don't get all Thom Cruz on me. Fag.

Plus, where the fuck are the songs/song fragments/project files you are supposedly going to send me? You're listening to ambient? Let's make some ambient tracks. They Die Fighting will not die without a fight! Seriously man, send me something and we will do it trick for trick style.

Hopefully your hand isn't hurting from all the non-girlfriend action.

I've been camping on those James. theydieprocrastinating
I'll try and finish that vid. I think the montage is the. it's below. Also the nemesis I hit for the video is really just a styley hi-plains drifter

Another Media Day in the Montana Footblog

Here are some pictures of my girlfriend Zara taken in Holland:

Props on the tricks, but I didn't see my mom anywhere in that montage run. Was she hiding behind the car?

That last run was ridiculously long. I like how you looked like zombie afterwards. I lol'd.

Keep shredding!

Nice job John Crowley. The last run was long as hell. It reminded me of last summer, man, that was the shit! Those were some good times at the house with Ty and Jackie. Probably some of the best moments of my life.

Props, and don't forget to send me something. Shit, maybe I'll send you something. Next time you talk to Zara, tell her I said hello then ask her if she is going to hit me.

I'm sure that will please her.

I think it's cool that your game is all flowy one second, and then totally ripping through hard ass tricks the next. And I like it that even the hard ass tricks look closer-to-effortless (as opposed to busting-a-gut style that some players have). Actually, I was kind of thinking "that looks like Flash" for portions of what I watched.

I've just come to realize that you have the coolest looking far swirls of any footbag player, Kevin.

Congratulations.

That's sweet crowley. I enjoyed all of them. Last years summer shred spot on that concrete remind me of my current one. That reminds me that i should upload my .org videos. And maybe even do a summer reggae session, ahha.

Wicked. "A run from last summer" > 3 minute video

I counted 137ish? Is that you longest run ever, Kevin?
I reeeaally wanna try for a super long run again when I can play again. We still never REALLY had our long run circle thing! I hope you can make it to Hackrifice so we can!

Sporatical_Distractions · Post by **Sporatical_Distractions** » 25 Jul 2008 07:01

Thanks Everyone!

Bob: Thanks! I really appreciate that

James: I swear I'll send those files next week

Skaggs: Dang! It's too hard to invent a trick...unless you're jorden

Zac: Ha! thanks! I get lucky when I hit a swirl

Ben: Definitely upload your vids. I enjoy watching your progress

Erik: I had a 180+ contact run once. And 222 alternating consecutive osii. We definitely still need to have that long run circle. I'll go to hackrifice if I can find an affordable ticket. It's pretty pricy yet.

Played for 3 hours last night with Ty. He just got back from 2 weeks of fighting fire in California. Everything felt really slow.

some hilights:
-lots of long runs (i do too many gyro/spin clips, ducking clips, and bops: 90% of my runs are these three things)
-barrage>dod>barrage>dod>barfly>blender>scorpions tail
-midstring pdx whirl>gyro whirl>ps whirl>tomahawk
-symp whirl swirl>pdx blender>spinning illusion>string
-blur>legbeater>blurry whirl>rpt>string
-atomic opp drifter only attempt

It's weird. My strong downtime barrage and my strong furious are on different sides. Both strongs are far ahead of the flips.
