thanks a bunch zach! flipside atomic is definitely the best set I have going for both sides currently, but I have yet to get a decent trick out of it. I've been wanting to get atomsmasher bsos but for some reason, doing a mirage after my flip atomic is SOOO awkward (even though that's my strong side mirage)

I'm gonna try all of those hopefully later today if I get to session

been so damn busy I might not be able to, but they all seem feasible to me (including the legbeater>ripwalk (I tried it a few times in a session over the weekend, plan on nailing it next session)

The only on that probably won't happen- blur>paradon lol. I just got first few paradons recently and I have a LOT to figure out about them/my style and whatnot

hopefully I'll be updating soon!!!

OK wow I think I started this post like a day or so ago so I think I should just update it finally

Weather's getting better here in OHIO and I was able to session outside for the first time in a while. I was able to film on sunday so I can actually look at my shit for the first time in a while. My friend Ryan was looking at some footage I had playing on my computer and he was pretty stoked, he said "I didn't know you could have such like, control over something like that". I was blushing like a pre-teen girl when I got that comment! Haha

Anyway:

decent string: clipper>ducking clipper>near mirage>flip clipper>ss butterfly>ducking clipper>osis>pdx legover

down>pdx mirage bsos >>pdx illusion bsos

pdx sole>spinning toe>short string (THAT ONE'S FOR YOU, NICK!)

string with WAY too many toes at the end, but had whirl>toe whirl, near mirage>PS mirage and clip>spinning clip

legbeater>stepping toe (not quite ripwalk. . yet

)

osis>ss clipper bsos (not hard, but a good drill to make my osi cleaner, plan on drilling in the future)

real shitty spinning ducking clipper

workin pixies bs

gyro clipper mid-tring

stepping toe bsos, blur, ripwalk (flip) and butterfly>ripwalk>osis in a string

blur bsos (feeling really good on my flip)

decent string starting with clipper>ss pickup>symp ss mirage

hopping (?) ss flail

zooming mid-string

barrage (had to do a dive-catch to seal it, it was pretty THE tho)

blizzard flip (first try!)

blizzard bsos

xdb rake bsos (eaasy)

OK, now I have to prepare to go to court

AWWWW YEAHHH, SUCKKAAA! I think you mean far flapper though, flapper doesn't get pdx :\ But hella tight dude. Also, fantastic other highlights! You're really improving lately! Propaggggeeeee!!!!

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 16 Feb 2011 12:34

so it's more like clipper>far flapper>spinning toe? whatever it was, it felt awesome

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 16 Feb 2011 12:38

Yeah, and that's a hard trick, especially learning to catch on far flapper. Took me a chunk of time to figure it out. Props though. You inspired me tonight too... You'll see when I blog

my gaaaahhhhhdd I haven't been able to shred like at all recently apart from this weekend. I'm stupid busy and just waiting for the wave of warm weather to motivate me further..

Aside from self-loathing, was able to shred with Nick, Corey, and Jackson friday night and then again on Saturday with Nick

Pretty shitty session on friday, really out of shape, highlights:

footed PS whirl like 2 out of the 3 times I tried

pogo illusion (3rd 5-add, 2nd time I hit it, was cleaner than the first one)

Saturday, equally shitty

pandoras box bs (after like 50 attempts on flip

)

paradons getting consistent on strong, working on flip

drilled pixies bs

DYNO bs!!

blur>butter rpt
-edit-

double switchover (like 2nd try)
also attempted

double illusion (want this so bad!!)

there was more, can't remember though

need to drill more

drill baby drill!!

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 06 Mar 2011 16:53

Double Illusion = Delusion

Just learned that lol

Nice kicking with you again man. Lotta fun, like always. Keep it up in Ohio dude.

edit- trying to imbed a stupid graph for my research paper. not working

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 17 Mar 2011 16:25

kicked with a bunch of people from hack club for the first time in a while. no one had a bag so we used my bags which were all teetering as is and proceeded to tear holes in all 3, one by one. I hate people

There was another bag we ended up using that was just filled with sand and leaking, but we apparently had to wait until all 3 of my hand-sticthed jawns first, assholes. Put some seal on the new holes,still waiting on my new treebags.

kicked about an hour before that circle:

drilled a lot of clippers and infinities. think I set a new record for infinities, probably only like 5x bs but it was much more than any other session, so I was happy

ripwalk>ripwalk

barfly

ddd

gyro mirage bs

clipp>ducking osis bs. forgot about that trick hah

BOP sets

osis>ss clipper bs x4

in the circle:
(side note, there was this asshole there who would like hardly pick the bag up to serve it, even when it was clearly not in "neutral" territory. This plus excessive talking about getting smashed kinda put me in a funk but I still kicked for a few hours, got some decent stuff)

swirl

symple swirl>spinning

blur bsos a bunch of times

more, but can't remember.

now to get crazy drunk because it's st. patty's day and I'm finally done finals

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 20 Mar 2011 09:04

Good news:
I'm in SAN DIEGO, CA!!! and also hopefully about to go find some new lavers

Bad news:
all of my bags are torn to shit and I don't feel good kicking with them at all. real pissed I didn't get my treebags yet. also, I feel like I won't be able to shred with standford hack club because ppl are gonna be at vegas jam

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 20 Mar 2011 11:43

Dude! My Dad's in San Diego right now too! Well, soonish. He should be on the plane right now. Don't be surprised if you see him wandering about. That stuff happens to him all the time.

Anyway, Hope you're able to shred with some of the guys who couldn't make the Vegas Jam or something. I'm sure some of the younger guys of the crew maybe didn't make it to Vegas.

Also, I texted this to you but maybe you didn't get it: Joey Michels said he can pick you up and drive you to PA if you can make the jam. Get back to me on that asap. The PA Jam's really looking great so far! Hurry and reserve yourself some floor space! It's filing up quick!

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 20 Mar 2011 18:36

you probably read the post already but it's a no-go for me =/

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 21 Mar 2011 19:03

I. SUCK.

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 25 Mar 2011 17:09

me + footbags with tons of holes - liquidstitch - music - weed = BAD TIMES

can't wait to get back to OH (thought I'd never say that

) so i can have a proper session with music and decent bags

that said, drilled some basics:

atomic sets bs, flip getting pretty decent

strong stepping (SUCKING lately)

zooming (trying flip, but having lots of problems)

pixies bs (flip still very awkward, I hate pixies

)

spinning bs (flip getting on par with strong)

spinning clipper bs and bsos

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 22 Apr 2011 16:23

hot damn, haven't updated in a LONG time

Not too much exciting, haven't been able to kick too often, maybe like 5-7 times since the last update. Been playin with some dead bags, so it's been rough, BUT

I JUST GOT MY G-UNITS!! 2 pairs, size 11, modded one pair today, love em!!

also found the bear bag I lost after NYJ, good things

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 22 Apr 2011 17:49

Awesome dude! Can't wait to see the new Units!

Let's kick tomorrow, k? Hit me up man.

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 23 Apr 2011 14:10

Great seeing you and kicking with you again dude. Always a fun time. Props on that Spyro Mirage! So sick. Keep at it dude. Have fun with those Units!

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 23 Apr 2011 16:01

As can be assumed from the above post, had a really good session with Nick Polini today. First serious session with MAH NEW BLUE G-UNITS!!!

highlights:

(as nick said) spyro mirage

blurry whirl

gyro illusion

DLO bs

EGGBEATER! first one, I kinda really hate eggs (hence why I never work them), but it had to happen some time

stepping ss illusion bs (stepping bubba? is there a name for this?)

HIPPY legbeater!! love hippy atomics

forget the rest, of course

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 07 May 2011 12:06

Had a terrible TERRIBLE session yesterday with Ryan

but I did finally get my first couple DATWs, which I've been waiting for for like EVER. Long overdue

Pissed, need a good session in the near future, but the weather sucks!

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 13 May 2011 04:41

a bit late, but I had a session with Angestki a few days ago

hit:

blur and blizzard bsos

blurry whirl

symp whirl bs (almost bsos)

footed delusion (first try)

my illusioning on my flip side REALLY needs some work, it feels SO awkward and even though I can hit it consistently (regulare and pdx) it never feels like a full dex. it just feels like my leg juts out in a straight line with no rotation

that being said, my flip dexes need work period

OH YEAH

and I mentioned that I had a session with Ryan (jiffy on here if he's still active) and only updated about my shitty session with some datws, but I feel it necessary to shout out some props on his behalf

he's getting clippers down consistently bs

he also hit these little gems at the end of our session:

ATW bsos (in-out and out-in)

clipper bsos

mirage bsos

ROOTED mirage

dude's gettin pretty good! keep it up!
