Man, I didn't even realize I met you at YEAH 07! That's cray. I was such a n00b then. It took us over 6 years to meet again.
Props on third in singles this weekend! You rock

Re: Ryan
Wow. So odd to re-read some of this stuff. Awkward yet so much support!
Cassy - That's a crazy bump! was not expecting to see this blog. We met! lol
Anyways - I think I have a pretty good first post back. Just so happened to upload all my random clips from my computer today. I'm actually down in Corolla NC now and have a beautiful internet signal! Taking advantage of that for sure. Alot has been going on and to have the internet as an outlet is good for me.
These videos go back to 2012 - present.

This video is not really a shred video. More fitting in my blog. I like putting in attempts for some videos. This is one of them. Starting the week at PA Invitationals was amazing and now I'm lucky enough to be in Corolla for some time off.

Hey Ryan!
Thanks for teaching me Symple Legover!
Also, I had a lot of fun this weekend, and I hope you did too! Thanks for coming out! I hope we get to shred together in future events!
I'll also be waiting for that Whirring Swirl video
And I'll leave this here - Nick looking like an octopus to you:

Re: Ryan
Before starting repitition practice of infinities I thought of an infinity as a clipper to op butterfly.
From point to point.
Then I tried high reps of infins and gyro clippers...
the finish of the infinity was the first half of the next infinity! That part of the game is left out
when just practicing one infinity or a dozen or so. I think this might be the stage in 3 ball cascade
where you realize the 3rd throw actually is the start of the next rep - not the end of the first.
I think it really helps my game
when I can get into that feeling.
Another one I do is instead of focusing my senses on the bag I switch it to everything but the bag. And after that you can do both bag and background. And I've tried only bakcground, which I remember made posture realy easy.I do this when I juggle, and pass, and try hands and feet stuff.
I've been working on crank based shred - recently started keeping my crank from follow thru all the way til the next landingclipper or butterfly or whatver. I used to open my ankle. The more things moving the more can go wrong. When I do this it increases awareness of how the legs work together. This makes both legs feel connected. More inner leg muscles are being used which kindof connect into an arc. I drew a picture.
Alright random thoughts done.
Felt good to write.

Re: Ryan Art Post
Great to hear from you Mr. Hogan!
I had some footbag artwork to share.
This one is my favorite. I remember telling myself to just keep drawing in the pattern that i chose, don't try to measure, or compare. Then when in photoshop the marker text on the flipside of the page was more visible...so there's a cool depth thing going on.
