TMNT Have Nothing On This Shredder

[Derek]

I'll be sure to do so when I go in for an interview. Thanks, Mr. Boyle.


Brian, been working them Clippers hard. Got to 4 on the tri-force today, and 20 alternating Clippers. 8 for Infinity style. I take your word, you know my game as well as I. Imma try and suck it up and go to East Coasts. Needa meet more footbaggers. Gotta get 'dem props.

Played today, foot felt eh, now it feels like poop. Rest time. Left out a bunch of Guiltless strings, I couldn't get them above 15-20 contacts(basically all toes). Gotta get back to drilling.

Also, seems I can't get a string on camera past 60+ contacts. Fudge. Smudges were being lame today, otherwise I'd have a Pixie Gold on film.

3-Ways are Fun

Went for a session at Steve's. The bomb diggity! We ALL played well, and the pizza was grubbin', good sign for things to come. 3 more weeks till another session with them, though. Doing the Worlds thing. But, may shred with the SkyLon and Mr. Spinning Osis this next weekend. Bought my ticket to NY today, gonna hit up the ECFC, and finally meet some East Coasters, and maybe some more Canadians? Should be bangin'. Gonna be real cool to shred and hang with Jay and Cass again. Don't know about routines yet, but we'll see, I'm a bit of weenie.

Stuffy stuff:
-Smog >ss Smog repeat(only took 40 fudging tries)
-Toe Butters are starting to sneak their way into my game
-Toe Butter >P. Illusion repeat
-Ducking op Clipper *4
-Infinity *4
- A string with Fairy Mirage, ss Mirage, ss Pick-up, and Switch all BSOS( every fairy move I can do!)
-Fairy Switch *5

Edit: Feel like a square leaving out Kemmer, can't wait to play and hang with more, too.

Great video above. Your toe stuff is really sharp. Clippers are looking much better. I think once you figure out how to bring your clipper leg a little closer and "sit" on your clipper foot more, they'll be doper. One bad thing I noticed, that I actually used to do AND! I know how to fix… Your Pdx Mirages are a bit too straight-legged. Try to really pull your knee up to waist-height. But the biggest tip I can give you to fix these, is you have to turn your hips more and tip your knee more inward, so you almost come at the dex like a Whirl, but still in Mirage formation. Knee tipped to point inward.. Using this method, you'll get an easier and cleaner dex.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, just contact me and I can explain it better.

Also, I'd like to see you push for having some Pixie ss Clippers bs and Pixie muted op Clippers in your next video. More than just a few, though. Practicing that trick might be a really good key for unlocking better Clippers for you.

Good luck dude. Props on all of it.

[akprice]

i always enjoy watching your vids! your legovers looks so effortless. those are giving me a serious pain in my arse! game looks good dude!

Nick, I believe you were the first person to tell me about the sit method, and now you're the most recent, as well. I have working on squats to try and help with that, but sitting on my Clipper while trying to stay on my toes is proving to be difficult as fuck. I'll stay at it, and keep that on my mind, though. I always thought my P Mirages were pretty good, but these past few months, people have finally been telling me to clean them up. I do understand what you are saying, gotta add that to this of things to be aware of. Decided to try some Pixie Clips today, cause you brought it up. And, I think you may be onto something about it unlocking my shizz. Finally figured out Pixie muted op Clipper better. Hit it about 5 times on each side, and one BSOS. Pixie ss Clipper was trickier.



Thanks Aaron! Always good to know my videos can entertain. Sweet, leg-overs have always been my go to move. How many toe Stalls can you do, and how consistent can you keep the set in the crotch zone?




What not:
-Infinity *4
-Fairy ss Pick-up >Switch repeat *5
-Fear >Fairy Switch BS
-Fairy Switch *6
-Toe Butter >ss Switch repeat followed by Toe Butter >ss Pick up repeat
-Smudge *3 BS
-ss Smudge *4
-Showing off in front of some girls, I hit: Clipper >op Clipper >Ducking op Clipper >P Illusion >Pixie Pick up >Orbit >Orbit >Double Orbit >Pixie Pick up >Double Orbit >toe Butter >near Mirage >toe Butter >near DLO >ss Egg >ss Egg >ss Mirage >toe Butter >Bubbabeater >PLO >ss Clipper >Ducking op Clipper >drop on a dumb P Egg attempt.

[akprice]

my current toe stall record is 204. i would say the set is fairly consistent in the crotch range. my prob with legovers is my dex is too big and i'm using my foot more instead of my knee and calf. i've got some vid on it somewhere in my blog.

[Derek]

Commented in your blog about it, probably didn't help, but I tried! Believe, and it'll eventually happen.


Soooo, got a little carried away with the session today, and may have hurt my foot, again. Why must I attempt to show off in front of females? Feels very funky walking around on it. Been icing and what have ya. Seems like horrible luck, cause I should be having a session with some fucking awesome shredders this weekend. But, we'll see how it goes. By the by, footbag groupies are real.

-Infinity *3 (lame)
-ss Toe Butter >near DLO repeat
-Toe Butter >P Mirage *3
-Ducking op Clipper *5
-Ducking op Clipper >Ducking far Switch >op Clipper >Ducking op Clipper >Ducking far Switch

-Fairy Switch >Fear repeat (FINALLY)


Till next time.

[Cass]

God damn. You just made my session today seem so weak. Props.

[Derek]

Sorry, but, fuck yeah! Thank ya very much. I am definitely feeling the repercussions, though.

[brianbear]

wow, your memory is also quite impressive, esp with them coach's meetings
i could never remember that many highlights from a session.

hopefully those repercussions don't last too long!
keep up those toe butter combos and you should try to combo the pixie clipper stuff to.
will be in touch about the weekend potential plans with skyler

[Derek]

Edit:
Thanks, man. Always have had good memory, and hasn't deteriorated, yet. Haha.


It was 99 degrees outside, but I REALLY wanted to play. Wasn't trying to drill, and I figured since I wasn't drilling, film it. Not the smartest. There was no shade anywhere, for I was out early to avoid the 104 (Didn't matter, though). Wasn't my best, but wasn't my worst. Got some decent combos like Pixie muted op Clipper >P Mirage repeat into a nice handful of contacts. Decent Butterfly stuff, as well, just didn't include it. I'm pretty bad at editing, and just use youtube. While I waited for the 5 clips to upload, ended up playing some frolf, and going on a hike with some dope dude I met through him in need of stuff. He seemed interested in footbag, cause he actually asked for a demonstration. Never heard a dude so pumped on stalls and Tiltless every so often. Gave him a bag. Stuff was still uploading when I got home, and by the time it finished, I was pooped. Cut it together sloppy, cut a chunk, and left some chunks in too long.

I will probably end up doing a footbag performance for some cutty school in an outskirt town nearby. A bit nervous, even though it'll be small. ECFC is gonna come up fast. Time to start getting really drill happy. Pumped, never been to NYC, and starting to realize how many people I am gonna meet. Freakin' surreal. I'm gonna be such a weenie on that plane.

[akprice]

your toe game is just plain sick!

some good runs in there and liked the datw bs! also ducking clipper bs... props! bigger man than me to be shredding in that heat. i'm in the south and i have to have sesh's early in the morning to beat the heat.

"beat the heat, not your meat" - just popped in my head after, lol!

[Cass]

"FUCK YEAH"

The symple legover stuff is dope.

[F[uns]tylin' Eclectic]

Man, you're getting really good at toe stuff. So sick. I challenge you hit some runs with equal clipper and toe game during ECFC Just start trying to break your clipper records every session or so. That shit will boost your clipper game like crazy. Trust me.

Stoked to shred with you soon!

[Derek]

Glad you think so, Aaron, and your kind words are very much appreciated. Dealing with the heat is a drag, especially when you like to play in the sun. What if I beat my meat, in the heat?




Was hoping someone would quote that, Cassy. Ya-yuh. Good to know someone else thinks so.




Challenge somewhat accepted, Nick. Gotta show off them toes for them bros. But, my Clippers definitely won't be so poopy by ECFC, guaranteed. I agree, pretty much the main thing that helps my Clip. Likewise, señor!




RIP Garrett.

Pretty horrendous week, to say the least. Bad, bad, bad. But, Stanford is a life saver! Couldn't get much shred in this week, which didn't help things. Somehow, I was able to explode at Steve's, though. 'Twas awesome to see and kick with the crew, it had been 3 weeks. Was having some good pizza withdrawals. Got to meet the new guy, who was rad, but was going to be leaving soon, sadly. Oh, the conversations that are held with these peeps, priceless. Lots of 4-square, which was cool, never get to play enough. Brian, and I also became masters in the art of paper plate throwing.

What I can Recall:
-Smog, P DLO, Ducking P Mirage all BSOS in a string (could only hit Pixie Symp Mirage on one side)
-P Egg >Smog BS (sadly, no saucery)
-Puck BSOS and kept it going
-String with near DLO, near Egg, P Mirage, P Illusion, Ducking far Legover, and Ducking op Clipper BSOS
-Egg*6 >ss Egg BS

I was really feeling it. Had a bunch of strings that were pretty fat with Pixies, which was cool, cause it hasn't been my focus. Got to mix in Toe Butter's fairly efficiently, and even hit a few Infinities. Fairies weren't the best, though. Lot's of Guiltless, regardless. Left Achilles has been feeling a little funky, since. May do some filming tomorrow. Till then.

[F[uns]tylin' Eclectic]

I'm really envious of your toes. Toe game that I've been working on has been inspired by you and 2 others.

Footbag saves my life often. I know what you mean.

Normally, we'll call Pixie Symp Mirage "BS Smear" (Backside Smear).. Quicker, and sounds cooler

Cool highlights. I can already tell that your Clippers are improving. Sick dude.

What is Puck? Pixie Ducking Pickup or something? I know I've heard it before.

Fairies don't make sense to me either. Maybe we can school them a bit together at ECFC.

Still pumped to meet you. Wish this month and next would hurry up already.

[brianbear]

What I can Recall:
-Smog, P DLO, Ducking P Mirage all BSOS in a string (could only hit Pixie Symp Mirage on one side)
-String with near DLO, near Egg, P Mirage, P Illusion, Ducking far Legover, and Ducking op Clipper BSOS

Yeah, these stood out to me the most! especially the second one.
You are on your way good sir, to pure guiltless if you so desire.
Thanks for cruising out, and that paper plate throwing was masterful.

[Derek]

That's quite a statement, Nick. Good to know someone of your caliber is envious of something I have, and that I can inspire. Footbag makes life much more bearable. I agree that Backside Smear sounds cooler, but then I don't know the set. Puck is Pixie Ducking Legover, never knew why. Thought Pick-up would make more sense, too. Sounds like a plan! It needs to go slower, I need more time to get better.


Awww, yeah, Brian! Cause it actually had some Clippers in it. Hah.

You are on your way good sir, to pure guiltless if you so desire.

This is too great, and I need to remember it. Yup, yup, yup. Until next time! We were borderline professionals.



Boop-a-Doop

I know I should be drilling, but I wanted to get some shizz on film. Back to drilling afterwards. Got down for a little over an hour. Had a decent audience, and got a fair amount of praise. Which was a nice change of pace. Pumped I got the DLO vs Egg drill to completion, twice, on film. 3 times is my goal for Summer, if I can still make it. Still couldn't get damn Pixie Gold on camera, dropped the 2nd to last Smudge. Ugh. Fair amount of side footage for analyzing my form, which is good, cause it's eh. My left foot/ankle/achilles thingy was holding me back a smidge, flip sets required much focus. Oh, well.
