This is a snippet from Wednesday August 23rd, 2008. At age 33 I play for fun not for competition, so please no comments about how I can improve my game.

(ok - if you must

)

I picked the longer less technical runs to show because these are the ones the crowds seem to respect more often than a bunch of double dexes and 5 adds they don't understand. So there is a lot of guilty shred in there.

Hey Damon, really cool to see your game. I'm sure you don't remember, but we met in MD **years** ago (I'm guessing around 1997 or so at East Coasts.. was held at U. of MD that year.. Jason was with you) and I'm the other 30-something player (ok, 32 as of 2 weeks from now) trying to have fun, stay in shape, and still shred hard core enough to keep respect of the whipper snappers. In any case, I liked the vid - the double switchover that you use a lot is a cool way to get to the toe. Nice mobius too. (edit: nice whirling swirl.. I can't figure that one out so far) Nice work on slimming down!

OLD GUYS RULE!! Nice shredding. I hope I can shred like that at 33....... Oh shit better get moving that is in 7 months. I just started playing less then a year ago. I wish I would have started earlier my years. Because my knees are bad, so I can only get so good. But I do it for the fun!!! And I have alot of it.

Yeah! Good long runs bro! I think my favorite part of the vid was the part where you just started with clippers, then osis, and then the run, it was a really cool build up run that looks great on video. You got your consistency back I see.

Yeah - thought about it... But since I work for Active.com, I have to plug the site when I can.

Plus Active uses Flash as well, so you'll be waiting the same amount of time.

Plus Plus - you're lazy. JK

Thanks for sharing Damon

The midstring legbeater rake was wicked!

You never forget a guy whose name is so close to one's favorite self-help remedy. I think you may have learned Smear from me at that tourney too. I could be wrong though.

Thanks everyone for not rippin' me for Boppin', guiltin' and tiltin'. I appreciate that.

I actually really liked the run with the sameside clippers and osii and whirl, or whatever. It was really pure. You could tell it was just for fun
