Skipped Philosophy today and played footbag instead.

My Philosophy class is a waste of time, we just debate about crap.

Thanks guys haha I creeped myself out a little with the laugh, I must admit. The ripstein is a little thin though, I'll get better ones on tape soon.


I had the best session of my life with Bob last night. We were both so on.

Highlights:

:arrow: spinning swirl x2
:arrow: double spinning toe
:arrow: so so so close to double spinning clipper, I will have this trick in a week's time
:arrow: sole rev-up
:arrow: footed vortex
:arrow: gyro double legover
:arrow: some flipside spinning
:arrow: some flipside swirls & flipside rev. swirls
:arrow: Some really really nice strings, some of the best I've seen myself do
:arrow: some sweet spinning ducking
:arrow: smear
:arrow: some spitfires
:arrow: some snapdragons
:arrow: drifters felt very easy-going (hit 'em both sides)
:arrow: starting to be able to do other things out of drifter instead of just spinning (i.e. whirls, ducking, etc..)
:arrow: some sweet DLO's
:arrow: some consecutive flapper kicks
:arrow: some spinningflying ducking stuff
:arrow: ripstein was a fail in this session, I came close one time, but no cigar. I plan on studying Tricks of The Trade II, J. Schneider's part and really analyzing how he does ripstein. Matt Cross told me my crank and my double dex is there I just need to really pull the bag closer to me to get a clean dex. Will be working on this

As you can tell, a wide variety of tricks. I was so pleased. For once, I didn't feel THAT miniscule compared to Bob. He still kicks way more ass that I do, but it was cool that we both were hitting hard tricks.

Bob said I inspired him to put sole stalls in his game! That felt way cool to hear. Can't wait to see him hit some. Going to try to shred with Bob every Friday. I was also quite pleased to see a huge improvement in Bob's game. He was hitting some really dense strings and a good damn handful of new tricks. There were props written all over this session on both of our parts.

Right on dude, we'll def. be kicking this week, but after wednesday, because I have a lot of stuff to do in the first few days.

Kljopa: I taped a clean spinning swirl for you, I'll upload it soon

Just had a "Just got off of work and hate everything, so I wanna kick" session:

Highlights:


:arrow: SINGULARITY!!! (Whirling xdb sole) :D
:arrow: spinning swirls
:arrow: Spinning whirl!
:arrow: came close to gyro datw
:arrow: a nice string I got on tape
:arrow: came close to double spinning clipper (like I said, in a week's time)

Shredding with Corey Rich soon, real stoked since we both like to use wacky tricks and unusual surfaces in our shred.

Shit! I keep fudging trick names up :( I feel like such a fish stick. But on the other hand, learn through mistakes. And thanks Matt, I really hope I will soon.

So yesterday was AWESOME to say the least. Zach and I kicked a little bit, nothing special, just a nice shred session. Our friend Bailey has always played hacky sack, and she asked to kick with us the other day, so she did and HOLY SHIT... she has obnoxiously flexible legs. SHE HITS DRAGONS. FLAWLESS DRAGONS. LIKE WITH NO EFFORT. WTF.... she was using some crappy athletic Nike shox shoe and wasn't able to stall the bag too well, so with that in mind, Zach bought her a pair of Lavers. long story short... they fit, she loved them, she couldn't miss a toe stall bs she was hitting inside stall, strong side, and she was hitting DRAGONS AND FOOTING DRAGON SWIRLS!!! She loves footbag and wouldn't put the damn thing down. We're shredding in NJ tomorrow with Jon Schneider, Corey Rich, John Goode, and maybe some others... We're bringing her.

This is a short video I took last night with her hitting some dragons and toe stalls:
