Rabbit Lives!!!

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus, I haven't posted in like 4+ years.

Awesome awesome tourney last weekend, really inspired me to start playing again, even played yesterday with Ben and Mikie, planning to play during the week!

Tourney Highlights
- Seeing how great Nick Polini got in person! (wow!)
- Kicking with everyone I got to kick with (Matt, Derek, Brian, Ken, Evan, Nick), soooo awesome. Sorry if I forgot you, I'm trying to think who I was in a circle with.
- Seeing Ryan Thomas, been too long!
- Ken's dropless finals routine!!!
- Seeing Chris, Kevin, Pete, Dan, Erik!
- Meeting Adam and Cassy, they are so cool and great at footbag!
- Bowling with everyone!
- Having some great meals (Ethiopian/ Korean BBQ Mexican Hybrid) and chocolate bobka, with Ken and Haley!
- Evan showing up after getting in a "fender bender" with Ted hahaha

- Most important moment happened for me after everyone left, Tuesday night was going through my wallet and found something that I hadn't put in there. Confused, I texted the last person I was hanging out with, turns out he left it to inspire me to start playing again. When he told me where it came from, I realized how much it meant to him and to give it to me is just so damn cool. Not only awesome on a footbag level, but awesome on a friendship level, means so much to me. Thanks man. Hopefully one day I'll be presented with the opportunity to pass it on to someone else who needs it, and be strong enough to part with it

Shred highlights (after not playing for 2+ years, knee injury and lack of motivation after)
- Whirl - Whirl (strong side)
- Diving clipper - ducking clipper repeat
- Butterfly - pdx mirage repeat
- Swirl (thanks for the pointers Nick!)

Things that made me sad
- Missing Age on Saturday
- Missing Ken's Dropless Poker Face routine on Saturday
- Saying bye to all of your beautiful faces

Video I shot/ edited! All shot on my iPhone btw.

Lastly, huge thanks to the NYFA crew for putting on an amazing tourney. (Bruce, Jon, Drew, Mikie, Dave, Ted, Jim)

Sorry if I forgot to mention someone, such a whirlwind of awesomeness. Can't wait to see everyone again!

Hey man, I really like that video. I am amazed it was all shot on an iPhone. What editing software do you use? I liked how it used both slow motion and fast motion throughout the different parts.

Thanks!
- Shot most of the footage 120 FPS
- Conformed it in After Effects to 29.97 (Cause Cinema Tools doesn't work with iPhone, WTF?)
- Brought into Avid
- Sped everything up to 400% and slowed down where I wanted.

Whats up, man?! Thanks for the kindly mention up above So stoked to see this blog pop up out of the blue! Really stoked to keep up to date on your game. I know you can push yourself to get to a Guiltless level. You have it in you. Your game from last weekend really showed me that. Even after a few years off, you still freaking have it... Rabbit. Your tiltless game is so solid, man. Just keep pushing yourself and learning new things, then drilling old things and so on.

Hope you can make it to either PSU Pumpkin Jam [State College, PA] (end of October), Bostonish Jam [Haverhill, MA] (November 15th weekend), and/or New Years Jam [Ann Arbor, MI] (new years, obviously)

I'm sure you could do some car pooling with some NYFA dudes. I know there should be a few going to each of these.

Anyway, keep it going dude. It's really a breath of fresh air to hear that you're shredding again.

Yooooo

Super fun 7am session with Bijan and Johnny! Matt Cross even showed up for a little.



No great highlights, but footed
Dive - Duck - Dive - Duck
Butterfly - whirl - butterfly -whirl
got very close to both several times, couldn't quite get the last trick.
Pumped to be playing again, and I feel like my attitude in general has changed a ton since the last time I played which I'm excited about. The world seems so much brighter than it was a year ago


Have a great day everyone!

7am!? You guys are nuts haha. I can't believe you got a 4 man that early. I guess that just shows NYFA's numbers haha.
