had a really fun session i hit whirl for the first time and put it into a cool string but an easy one
whirl>clipper kick>up shorts>toe stall>pendulum
came really close to a ripwalk i started out with a inside kick then right clipper then i went under my right leg with left clipper but could not complete the set by getting it back to a right clipper

other then that i just jad some funning doing some legovers weakside pendulums butterfly(first time i knowingly hit that) unfortunayely did not hit mirage or atw at all

had another hour of shredding today hit about 5 mirages came up with a few strings/drills to do each session
10 clipper>legover
10 pendulum>clipper>legover
5-10 whirls
10 clipper>legover>flying clipper>legover>flying clipper

trying to hit all of all these both sides

just saw some video aboit muscle memory so from now on i am going to keep my sessions to about 45-60min going to practice be more conservative with my shredding not try and do 1000 of a certain move hoping that one will be right (perhaps breaking each move/string down even more and doing some airshredding)

hopefully this will help and accelerate my progression

hey CJ !!

welcome to modifizzied!

You seem to be off to a good start! One of the things you may see stressed is to practice your flipside- hit tricks on both feet! Do it!

Building a strong and consistent foundation will make it easier to build up to bigger tricks faster and more comfortably.

Where in north jersey do you live? If you check out the journeys to tourneys section you'll see an event coming up in NYC the weekend of the 26th... look into it if you get a chance. Should be fun!

Shred on!

montclair,nj somewhat known town "cheaper by the dozen" book family from this town had 12 kids michael strahan used to live here till his fucking wife turned into a bitch stephen colbert does

unfortunately i am going down the shore that weekend but i might be able to get there for the friday shredding

as for using both feet i try as much as possible however it can be agitating

Mahwah is close to montclair right? I'm going to college at ramapo in the fall. Maybe we'll be able to kick sometime!

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 18 Jun 2009 19:31

mahwah/ramapo is 35 minutes away certainly a doable commute hell of a lot closer then highlands which if i remember where that is it is like 75minutes but then you have traffic by union

weather in the metropolitan area has been atrocious but today its not raining so i shredded a bit fucking fun as hell really not trying to get better at all just play

i hit osis a few times for the first time i think i hit whirl a few times same with mirage did a lot of pendulous shit that was really fun

then i worked on my weaker side for a little bit did some clippers toe stalls basic stuff the pendulums on my weak side not straight over but it wasnt that bad while i was stuck inside i came across to awesome videos on youtube they have probably been shred but whatever

thought that was pretty cool had some nice style and music

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXKsCD-9lMI

not one of vaseks hardest videos but it is pretty aswesome

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 20 Jun 2009 16:22

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 21 Jun 2009 20:45

i need to mod my lavers they play better then my other sneakers which is a plus only going to do the toe to start with my inside and clipper stalls seemed perfect so why change wuts good/well

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 27 Jun 2009 22:26

ive been playing a lot lately no new moves that cone to mind just makin things cleaner and more bothsidedness but super physched i just ordered some fabric from fields i got
flash red
cobalt
white
giraffe
snake
ocelot
i hope these all play well although for my first time i just wany to get my bearings
i did a little fiddling around of old threads to get an idea so i only bought .125 of each fabric
some of the possibilities have been running through my head im like a little fucking kid on christmas(anxious)

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 29 Jun 2009 16:17

i did some playing today the only highlight i can think of was phoenix other then that i played like shit

mc · Post by mc » 29 Jun 2009 16:50

Stitching is cool. Good choice on getting .125 of the fabrics... I've only bought more than that once or twice.

let me know if you need any tips! props on your first 5, I hope the pixie was clean

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 29 Jun 2009 17:31

thanks i learned pixie (cuz i dont get those abbreviations) by wAtching your tutorial so i think it was clean

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 30 Jun 2009 09:38

NOOOOO BOTH MY CARDS WOULD NOT GO THROUGH AT FIELDS FABRICS AND DENVER FABRICS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK

i did order those little samples that are free so maybe those are enough to make a bag or two

... and i finally got my order of tungsten to go through

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 30 Jun 2009 16:31

I just hit Pheonix for the first time today, and Ive been playing for a year... Major props on that dude. Learning quick.

Do you ever have rides anywere? From Parents/friends?

If so, let me know, cuz I live in South Jersey and It would be rad if you could show up to a session down here.

Talk to you soon.

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 30 Jun 2009 17:54
