Wow! Thank you guys so much for the kind words! You all rock!

I am currently at the Montreal airport charging my dead phone up before I take a bus to Mathieu house. It was 91 F degrees in phoenix yesterday, and it is currently 30 here. Cold! This should be a fun trip. I will update later when we do things.

So my trip to Montreal is coming to an end. I fly out tomorrow afternoon. I had a lot of great times with Mathieu, ate amazing food, saw amazing places, and had some really fun shred sessions. Yesterday we shredded with Ianek in a juggling gym. It was very inspiring to watch Mathieu and Ianek tear it up. I got a lot of good tips on my style and new tricks I have been wanting to hit. I have to get ready for my flight home, so I will write more later.

Zach: No it wasn't me. Some guy from Texas =P I will challenge him.

So far today has been terrible. I can't hit anything, and pixies are not making sense. I really really hate pixie sets. All other sets seem easy, except pixie. I'll do 1,000 atomic sets before ill ever get pixie. I also threw my favorite abshire bag on the ground and it tore the fabric. Now I know why my footbags only last two weeks. No more throwing. I'll shred again tonight, but for now f*ck that.

There are few things more frustrating than having a bag die on you, because you threw it. I got so sick of doing it, I made a point to transition from throwing bags to kicking water bottles. Water bottles are cheaper to replace and I find it more satisfying when I need to get that frustration out.

Ideally, the plan should be to not get that frustrated, or not lash out. But if you have to let out that energy, I definitely recommend the water bottle kick over the footbag throw.

Sorry you had a rough session...over time they become less frequent.

I ruined one of the best bags I have ever had by throwing it out of frustration.

I was 18 at the time so I chalk it up to being young and stupid, whats your excuse?

worldbound · Post by **worldbound** » 04 Apr 2012 09:14

I am both young, and stupid. Waterbottle kicking is the new lash.

Session with Conrad was fun, but we both played so terribly. There was a lot of colorful language and waterbottle kicking. The only highlights came at the end of the session:

blurriest whirl

ripwalk> ripwalk

I need sleep

blurriest>whirl, a whirl with poor quality or some weird barflying pickup clippery thing?

props on the new stuff.

I'm confused by this statement. The trick was stepping paradox whirl, so whatever that is called. It was my first one hit.

h0ag3yb3atZ · Post by **h0ag3yb3atZ** » 04 Apr 2012 12:10

blurriest=stepping far double down...I wasn't sure if you meant you hit blurriest to whirl, a super grainy whirl on tape or some jay boychuk trick.

the trick you hit (stepping far whirl) is called blurry whirl.

know?

Nice dude! Is Blurry Whirl your first 5 ADD?

Props on that!

Also, at PSU jam, we'll take a corner and practice Pixie sets. I'm in a similar boat as you man. Pixies are my worst set. Favorite band... but worst set

We'll school them.

See ya in a week and a half!

Hey Mike, you haven't updated your blog in a while. Still playing? Still planning on making it to the U.S. Open this year?

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 27 Jun 2012 09:07

Your blog called. It misses you.

We're coming up on 3 months without a post in your blog. I know you are alive. Post here, even if you haven't been playing.

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 27 Jun 2012 12:55

I miss you too, I wrote you this heartfelt and completely original letter...

Dear Mike,

I wrote you but still ain't BLOGGIN'
I left my MODIFIED NAME, my MODIFIED NAME, and my MODIFIED NAME at the bottom
I sent two POSTS back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the MODIFIED or somethin'
Sometimes I STITCH FOOTBAGS too sloppy when I EAT 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a DONKEY
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
I'm a name her MIKE
I read about your Uncle TIFFANY too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some CHICKENS who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest HUMAN BEING
I even got the underground shit that you did with VEGAS JAM
I got a BATHroom full of your FOOTBAGS and your FOOTBAGS man
I like the shit you did with VIDEO CAMERA too, that shit was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest HUMAN BEING
This is NICK

[Chorus]

Dear MIKE, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer POSTS
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your YOUTUBE VIDEOS
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for KILLMOUSKI
That's my little CAT man, he's only TEN years old
We waited in the blistering LAVA for you,
For four hours and you just said, "HI I'M MIKE"
That's pretty shitty man, you're like his fuckin' GUY HE DOESN'T KNOW
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than CAT FOOD
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like CELERY STICKS
Remember when we NEVER met in ARIZONA, you said if I'd write you
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my FLIPSIDE GAUNTLETS neither,
He used to always cheat on my TOAST and HAM
I can relate to what you're saying in your FOOTBAG VIDEOS
So when I have a shitty ASS, I drift away and put 'em on
Cause I don't really got shit else so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your MOM across the chest
Sometimes I even cut PANTS to see how much it bleeds
It's like A ROLLERCOASTER THAT DOESNT WORK, the pain is such a sudden FISH BALLS for me
See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
My girlfriend's POTATO cause I talk about you DOING A DANCE
But she don't know you like I know you MIKE, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest HUMAN you'll ever SEE
Sincerely yours, NICK, P.S.
We should PLAY FOOTBAG together too

My FOOTBAG'S gone cold I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning BONG clouds up my window
And I can't see THE BEAR OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
And even if I could it'll all be SEMI-ALRIGHT
But your picture on my MODIFIED
It reminds me, that YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BLOGGING,
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BLOGGING...

Come back, MIKE!

Hey guys thanks for reaching out! Nick, LOL, dat letter.

I footbag very little, but I haven't quit or stopped thinking about it. The weather is my #1 reason for putting footbag on hold. I love to play at work, and I work outside. This week has been over 110 degrees every day, that and we have been getting dust storms daily and breathing that sh*t can give you valley fever. I am going to check out some indoor places this week.

Sad note: I packed and went to the airport to catch a flight to Montreal for the Canadian Nationals, but all the flights were full. That really put a damper on my day.

OK I have to get back to setting up my new ubuntu machine in my house.

More updates soon!

Heading out to Oceanside, CA right now. Going to try to get some "I am not dead" footage while out there. I am battling an intense cold right now, so don't expect too much. It will be nice to get out of Satan's a**hole for a while.

F[uns]tylin' Eclectic · Post by **F[uns]tylin' Eclectic** » 14 Jul 2012 22:31

Can't wait to see some footage! Happy to hear you'll be playing again!

worldbound · Post by **worldbound** » 19 Jul 2012 17:26

Very little footage from California. I got so sunburned I could barely sit down. Recovered now and have been shredding at work for at least 40 minutes. Man, I am out of shape! Really fun shredding again.
