That's a damn fine string, sir, and thanks for the BOP demos! Super smooth as always. Beautiful shred room. Where is that?
The shred room is the dance studio at the Rec center at uni. I am so lucky to have had this space since 2013. There are classes which take place at various times each day, but there is usually a break in the afternoon. That is when I kick.

Damn, nice juggling! There are now a couple Instagram clips in my latest footblog post.
Thanks for the words on juggling. I am getting better at making sure each session I do (at least) 10 contacts of two-bag on each side, then 5 on each side, then two-bag two-feet 20 contacts (10 contacts each foot).
Thanks also for the heads up on your footblog. Posted in there as well.
We are looking at doing a small footbag get together sometime probably February/March in Narooma on the south coast. We do it most years, but it's been a couple of years since the last one. You should come over.
Tickets seem pretty cheap the second week in February, and from then on too, so let me know. I am tempted. How long is the get together?
Funny you mention this; I was thinking about talking to you and Red Rocket about doing something in NZ. I have been itching to climb a volcano and I know how you enjoy tramping. Add footbag and hot springs and boom: vacation.
It will be a weekend (maybe Friday-Monday), depending on what sort of time everyone is available. Seems probably late Feb or early March is going to work best. I will keep you posted once a few of the others get back to me.
I am hoping to come to NZ, that would be awesome. I've never climbed a volcano. Maybe later in the year. We've got the baby on the way in April, so probably can't do any trips until later in the year, but it would be great to go over to NZ. Would be awesome to kick with Phil again too.

Yeah, you seem busy for sure. Whatever, whenever is clever.
Here is a vid of stuff from the last couple of sessions:
The last sesh I tried to beat my (world) record of drifter x 32. I tied it first try which was too bad that I couldn't beat it, but not bad at all considering I don't really practice drifters much as of recently, and it was my first attempt.
I also tried to beat the osis x 256 record. Got 70 something first try then finished the session. I have video of both of them if anyone wants to watch me hit the same trick numerous times in a row. I remember hitting osis x 350 or so years ago, but don't think I have video. I'm sure I can beat 256.
Gonna take a day off from kicking today; I kicked the last two days and noticed low energy yesterday. I came close to 69 the last couple of sessions and have been practicing nuclear sets to help with that. They are tricky. Getting the set high enough and still having time for the first dex is at the moment the tricky bit.
Here is a variation of that ducking/diving BOP Erik, Ryan (etc?) and I have been talking about:
EDIT:
Here is another video of a drill and a couple of runs in the last sesh.

Challenge: flip magellan > pixie same pickup > pixie near clipper > pdx mirage x3 (x5 if you can!)
So this was tricky. Great practice though. I don't throw flip pixie same clipper enough. I managed to get x1, and at that stage of the session had no energy left so called it. I will hit x3 soon.
Kenzo also asked me to hit vortex > mobius bsos which I haven't been able to do yet either. I struggle to keep balanced on vortex...I did it bs though.
