Thanks for the challenges Reid and the reminder.
Cool Jeff :) I did talk to him, but if you guys are down then see if the world has interest. I talked to Red about it too when I was in Portland, and it seems like CSS should exist in some form even if it happens in a different place.

Here's a highlight vid that I cut together from 2 Jamez sessions ago in August. We meet up midway between the quad cities and Chicago in a town called Ottawa.

I just started schooling spinning ducking clipper, and somehow it is so fun and pretty consistent. I mean I'm not throwing it in strings yet, but I'll drill 10 and get 5 in a row and 10/15.

I did a bunch of spinning drills today, bc my legs were sore and didn't want to dex too much. Gyro leg>toe spinning clipper is pretty fun. Change in dye-wreck-shawn

Reid we'll kick this weekend for sure. Call me or I'll call you.
Zach, I texted you.

i'm typing all of this from my sister's new laptop that i spent a lot of time picking out. It's so prince.

Dear zooming clipper back to back,
Please stop sucking. I know I need to stick the stall better, and set a bit higher, but give me a break - it's been a few weeks that I'm warming up with you.

Dear spinning ducking,
you are great and really fun and consistent out of nowhere. You're like the hot girlfriend compared to zooming being the nagging wife.

A fun combo today based on reile's signature spinning osis>stepping:
spinning osis>ripwalk>torque.

Tom, that was a cool video. i also like your analogies for spinning ducking and zoom. Good times :)

Many, I really wish I was going to NYJ this year, when i was there a while ago it was great, but every time since then I have been broke and not able to go. Have fun with Milan Megatron Benda over in the windy city...

P.S. Who was the other guy without a shirt playing with you in that video? His style kind of reminded me of Ryan Mulroney... keep up the good shred you guys.

lawl, no wonder he looks so good... I guess I haven't seen enough video of him to recognize and differentiate his style. Good deal, hope to see (both of?) you in Portland for the USO!

That's the first opportunity I've had to watch a video of you I think, I really like your game. Cool mix of tricks, and you're very athletic (like those symposium combos). Your torques are really torquey which is great too.

Less flying more footbag Tom... unless your playing footbag while flying.

My head vocalizes all of Reid's posts into Sylvester Stallone and I start laughing.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
