Hi Mat. Please post a pic up there.

Aaron had the Polish players today.
Evan and I had Burgerville then met up Anssi, Marco, and Red at Chase's for a swim in the pool. Kev and Jer from Missoula, came by and said peace out.
Then footbag at the shady park. Good god it's so sunny here the past few days. Everyone is a bit burned, and I'm hecka brown. Lon drove us over and Manna rode in the back cart of Sam C's bike.
Flash met us up. evan and Anssi hit Nuke ducking butter. Evan hit driftering reverse swirl which is titties.
Voodoo doughnuts tonight. I guess someone will have to hit voodoo in front of the sign. I can do it in flip flops.

Up in Portland at the extended USO. We went to the Hot Springs today to soak our sore muscles in volcanic heated water. Evan L, Lon and Red drove packloads of cars. Anssi bought a watermelon and Vodka. There were huge trees. Took some pics in hollowed out ones. The water was hecky hot. Needed buckets of cold water from the well that Anssi fell into later. It was weird that it wasn't weird being butt ass naked for part of this night. The water was 2 legit 2 quit and soothed us all. We were just laughing hysterically and throwing water at each other. I feel pretty close to these people now.

Then we had to walk back to the car in the fuck ass dark. And anssi insisted we do it military style with no lights; Lon agreed. Evan G said 'i do what i want!' and they wrestled near a dangerous bench i thought evan was going to mess up his back on. So we started walking: Manna, Hanna, evan, luis, lon, anssi, and me, with no lights and barely any moon and all of a sudden 'whoa!' ::rocks sliding:: ...we almost lost Evan off the side of the path. then we used light and walked for what seemed like over an hour back to the car. Anssi ran in his crocs and wrecked himself on a tree. Hania and I took him by the arms after that. I recorded some of the random stuff he said. His croc fell off, and we let go of him and he lost his balance and we nearly lost him to the void down the dark ravine. He's such a funny guy, even not drunk. His laugh makes me laugh.

We made it back to the car without directions, and my gps wasn't working, but we found our way home in the twisty dark street.

I have a writeup coming eventually from USO and Worlds, and a bunch of pics too.

Looks like NYJ will be um like 2 weeks before new year's this time. mwahaha. Not for sure though. The sports fest people are still changing up that website. So looking like Dec 18-19 this year, and we'll prolly tack an extra day on it the day before or after.

Also I can't get enough of this South African group Die Antwoord. Like a car crash for sure. You prolly won't like it when you first see it. Also the girl will look like an alien or retarded at first, then you'll be attracted to her.

So I kept a journal of USO and Worlds in my phone as a text draft and it was 12 pages long. Now it's gone. Dunno if I accidentally deleted it, or my phone swallowed it.

Pretty much haven't kicked since world's except for 1 day right after and just a demo of easy shit.
Kicked yesterday whatevs, so sore today and slow and tired. Decided to try some drills.

Hit smear BS, then 2 in a row BS, then 3 in a row... up to 10! was tiring and fun and a good drill. slower and straighter.

I realize that a lot of bad footbag comes from lack of stamina. Mental stamina as well as physical.

Also did the linear growth with whirls to 10 and swirls to 5. it ends up being... 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 or more easily: 10+(9+1)+(8+2)+(7+3)+(6+4)+5 = 55 moves both sides.

Also hit torque>blurry whirl and torque>blender>torque>miss

I still plan to post some USO and worlds stuff.

I'm all up ons planning the trip to Funtastiks. Trying to organize Cory who's coming with (and I'm really happy about that. And also I'm glad that Nathan's going to a tourney and CIC will be reprezenting). Also trying to be most efficient about our time there, the route, the time to leave and return that works with everyone. Hooking up with Toledo. Props to Donovon for starting up a scene there.

My car's radio was stolen and the wires cut before I got the car. So I'm going to install one tomorrow or the next day if I can find a wiring harness. They're cheap online, but no time to deliver. Hopefully I find one in my garage, and we won't have to just stare at each other for 12 hours.

Kicked with Reid today by the lake.
Highlights:
Blubberman
Rubberman
1/2 of The Drill
Vortex to Mobius !

Lowlights:
a tennis ball flew over to our side of the fence, and I kicked it back over, and it went over, but to the next court over (bad aim), and I said, "Sorry I was just trying to be cool." And the guy said, "yeah, you tried." then silence. :-p

Props on vortex to mobius.

Just ghetto rig it. Put your ipod where your deck used to be and have long enough headphones to reach your ears, problem solved

lol. I know, but good news is I just found a wiring harness that fits my radio, so I'll wire that bitch up tomorrow, and then I'll have it for all times. I haven't had a radio in my car for a long ass time.

Stoked to hear you and Sinatra are coming to Funtastiks. I am a little worried though that you're attempting such a long trip in your car. The last time I was in your car the rear right door fell off. I re-attached it with chewing gum before you got back, but I doubt that'll hold too much longer.

Have a safe trip and hopefully see you this weekend.

I should put a USO, worlds and funtastiks write up in here.

I used to think Instead of posting every session I'd post monthy with goals and junk, but that just makes me never post in here,

Today - solo - alley
gyro clipper b2b forever
gyro clipper>clipper>RPT and keep going till drop. the clipper is for stability. just doing them back to back is really good for balance. Evan G. hit like 50 or 70 in a row. I hit 11. Want to get better at it. I warm up with this now, and only do clipper when I need more stability.

I wanted to do drifter>whirl>rpt to 16 contacts (4 full sets). Got 18 contacts after a few minutes :-)

10 paradon BS alternating no break
10 more
10 atom smashers BS alternating no break with the last few with a tap first
pixie ss clipper?far leg>rpt till drop many times

~fin

next post needs a pic
