Nice dude. I checked this out the other day, but I didn't have time to leave a comment. It looks pretty good for only your second film. Sweet stuff in there too. I liked pixie ss flapper and some of the ripwalking runs were real sick. Bob's paradon and atomic strings look sweet.

General rule of thumb that I've learned from editing though... exclude drops. Edit those mofos out like that first ripwalk> blend-drop. Other than that, it's looking excellent man. Props on the filming, shredding and editing. Song went well. I understood it at the end

the drops where my intro lol

went to bobs today an had a session before we get hit by this ice storm. me an bob where both playing well an it made for a extra good time. Bobs atomics where the most consistent i have ever seen from him tonight.

bob wrote on the chalkboard under my side, drifter>drifter... i only just learned toe drifter, but i still gave it a go. the out come was really good, apparently my body likes to do drifters... so im going to try an put them into my next few sessions. i footed drifter from a few sets. ( pixie, atomic, stepping ) if i can totally unlock drifters, it will open a whole bucket of tricks to my game.

i took some video but camera died after just 10 minutes, it would seem proper for me to forget to charge it an have it die when we both where playing well.

after the session me an bob talked a bit about this whole organizing this jam thing in spring... really opened my eyes to the way i have to propose this to the local businesses, an the importance in witch i need to start. hope we can pull this off.

Get that shit done! If this jam happens before may 23rd, I cannot wait for it! if after, I will be sad, but will handle it with a shred session using tears as my footbag filler!

thanks man.

didnt really play today, but in front of some friends in a coffee shop i hit stepping ss whirl first try in pants

thats the highlight of my day, as i sit an await another ice storm.

had a awesome session with bob today. hit a good bit of new stuff.

after i made this video i realized how all the single tricks, for the most part are out of reach on my flip. whirl, swirls, an double dexs on my flip should really start to be my focus if i want to get where i want to be with my game, but in reality it is awesome that i know this. sometimes knowing whats wrong can be half the problem.

its a pretty sweet video.. please watch an comment.

had yet another good shred with bob... pretty on the spot. i crawled out of my bed at 5pm an had a few text asking to play starting from 8am. the latest one said "or not" By 5:30 i was showered an on the road.

i started the session with a pretty wasted shoulder.. i had injured it snow skating 3 days ago. by the end of the session it felt pretty good tho an worked out, it ended up being beneficial for it.

bob was looking sharp today.

pixie same sole

first try, first time pdx drifter an weak pdx drifter. multiple times pretty much on command.

discovered that ducking mirage is hard for me, but if i do it pixie or symposium it is easier

gonna drill this one.

clean paradon to a osis>drifter a first.

close to drifter>pdx drifter

close to spinning osis>zooming spinning osis

close to drifter>drifter

broke 10X ripwalk. by the time i get my goal of 20 im gonna be a ripping pro, whos arms are balanced an feet are surely placed ;P

footed atomsmasher>atomsmasher ... ugh ive hit this once, on thanksgiving an havent done it again since....

osis>stepping same mirage

atomic osis>ripwalk>spinning osis>ripwalk

best link today during a "circle kick till it hits the ground" game, a ballsy move on my part

heres a video of me an bob.

thanks to anyone who watches.

nice, that's the best one yet (although I had to watch it without sound so it might be even better than I realize). Your game's looking better and better zach. I'm not terribly disappointed with my play either, but am looking forward to feeling 100% again too.

Can't watch video at work, but was curious about this. Predator is atomic DLO, so if you did it from osis, does that mean it was nuclear set?

Hey man, props on all that stuff in the above videos. My favorite link was "Pdx Drifter> Chat with Bob> Flip Pdx Drifter". Also props on breaking ripwalk x10 and learning Paradon. Your stuff is looking really nice. I'm still down to kick tomorrow, after you're finished helping Bob with his kitchen, if you are. Let me know.

lovin' the drifters dude lookin real tight

zachatree · Post by **zachatree** » 13 Feb 2011 14:01

thanks Dudes!

Saterday was pretty cool. woke up at 7am! normally my bed time. Bob refier hired me to help tear apart his kitchen, a fire place, an a bastard of a floor. sorta sore from it. It was actually a good time tho with a few beers an loaded cheese stakes.
At one point in the day i was going in an out of the house, the day couldnt have been better. we could have had a outdoor shred, it was close to 50 degrees an birds where chirping, but footbag was not on my mind. All i could think about was carp fishing an how close it is to the season starting, how bad i want to travel to new un tried waters states away an find success catching carp that most anglers only dream about, how bad i want to spend nights in my brolly shelter sleeping on my comfortable bedchair. I am so stoked to wet some lines, take some pictures, an write some articles.

tonight im gonna drive to lamoyne pa, past harrisburg to kick with tim an his brother josh. maybe film an make a video, we will see.

yo man, thanks again for working with me saturday, I'd hire you again in a second and would recommend you to anyone. Hard worker! Got the new subfloor in and leveled on Sunday. Man was that a job. I worked 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. nonstop. From here on out, the other projects are easier. But I'll be out of kicking commission for another week or so probably.

zachatree · Post by **zachatree** » 15 Feb 2011 12:47

i feel ya dude! hopefully your up to play sooner then latter.

playing at tim's with him an his brother josh was a lot of fun, we talked about meeting up once a week, at least. i think getting a schedule going to play more often will benefit josh an tim a lot. they both have a ton of potential. hope to meet with them again thursday.

might play at the gym in Lebanon with andrew after are work out.
