Hey guys, This is henry from WISconsin.

Well i decided, since im progressing well now, that i should make a blog.

THe posts will not be long at all. so dont expect too much.

Wednesday, August 11, 2004

Today i shredded for like 10 minutes in the morning and couldnt hit anything cuz i wasnt awake. so i stopped and ate 3 bowls of chili.

Later me and a friend shredded after soccer practice. He was hittin some crazy stuff that we dont know what it was, but didnt land them. I was working on pdx mirage, and butterfly, as well as basics.

im still working on getting my flipside clippers down. everything else is fine on flipside except clippers. so i cant hit pdx mirage or butterfly flipside.

thats about all that happened today

btw i shredded for about 1 and a half hours the second shred session

Last night me and a friend shredded in his basement for 2 and a half hours

i schooled basics like mirage, legover, atw, butterfly both sides. i also got my flipside clipper down well.

i then attempted pixie legover 20 or 30 times. got it on my toe like 5 times but rolled off. Then i got double legover on my toe a couple of times.

i think within the next few days i will have dlo and pixie legover down both sides.

while attempting dlo, i pulled a muscle near my hip, anyone have any tips for me?

Hey, Henry here.

Me, Mike H., ted, mike from LA, V, and steve all had a pretty fun session at the library mall today.

Highlights for me included hitting double legover, and i had some nice long runs consisting of mirages, legovers, atw, butterfly, pdx mirage

i tried to hit pdx drifter and a torque, but neither came. once or twice i came close.

Steve is at about my level, but ive played a little longer than him. V was a little better than me, but then Both mikes and ted were insane. It was nice to see people in person who are so much better than i am. it drove me to try new things. and the tips they gave me will help me greatly.

Anyone who was there today, post how you felt about the session, and anyone else please feel free to comment

PS: Ted was gonna make up a move called the Rod Laver. so i stole the name for my own move. You kick it, catch the bag in your shoe, than throw your shoe at someone. If ted hit blurriest bsos i was gonna rod laver some couple sitting on a bench.

You can post here if you want

i would like comments

something...

you might wanna try wrap arounds and hop overs for that flipside clipper. also i don't see you mentioning pickup in there anywhere, might put those in some strings, it's a basic 2 add, same goes for illusions.

HG · Post by HG » 16 Aug 2004 16:37

yea i can do pickups and illusions a bit inconsistently though

thanks for the tips.

i will also try wraps and hopovers

havent been able to shred a lot lately, soccer is getting in the way.

we have 2 marines as coaches, and last night we SPRINTED 2 and a half miles. it took us a huge 9 minutes to run it. and we all threw up afterwards.

my quads are sore, but that wont stop me from shredding.

im going to shred today once i find out if im on JV or Varsity

im a freshman by the way.

well my ankle is getting a little better, so this morning i decided to try it out

i hit all my basics, legovers, atws, mirages, pixies, fairies and the such

i then tried a butterfly and it kinda hurt.

so being the smart kid i am, i tried ducking butterfly for the first time, and i hit it!!!! except i didnt stall it. i gotta work on that, i just kicked it.

i tried to kick it and that hurt because the motion forces your foot to kind of... swivel, and i cant do that yet..

i hit dimwalk with my bad ankle, and i tried ducking mirage and accidentally stomped and ground me new abshire into the ground. and i accidentally rolled it a bit.

but im like 78 pounds so i dont think it matters that much cuz theres not a hole or anything.

my ankle i hope will be better by tuesday. maybe it wont be though.

and by the way, today is my birthday!!! im 15 now!!

lol im 15, 4 foot 9 inches, and 78 pounds. i might as well be a midget. if i am though, i get handicapped parking spaces. so thats cool

(legal midget is under 5 feet)

Havent updated in a while

I went outside to play and noticed that i can play like, 85%. I am still improving somehow, even though i only play like 2 hours a week. I am improving at a very fast rate too. Does this Happen to anyone else?
Well i played a bit, and i can hit smears fairly consistently, along with pixie legover and dimwalk both sides. So smear, plo, and dimwalk are all both sided. i had about a 15 contact of mostly 3 adds, some two adds. I feel that i am hitting a point where im starting double dexes, so i will start to get a lot better.

The weaknesses still in my game are

-flip clipper
-osises both sides
-illlusions
-double legovers
-ducking/diving is gettting there

thanks for reading, and feel free to post

PS im listening to steve miller band, i think you should get some of their music.

happy birthday henry. i was about the same size as you when i was your age. i think i entered high school at 4'10" and about 93lbs. so a little bit bigger than you, but not by much, that's for sure. glad to hear that you're not hurt anymore and still improving.
