Pfft, lets see your best, JorDan!

For the record, the videotaping should beging thursday, when I should be at my peak in skill (not having worked the day before, so my legs are rested).

Jeremy better do something flashy if he hopes to win a number 2 spot though! :D

ps: Jorden just noticed you also had fat legs. Welcome to the club :lol:

So a little session went down tonight, and it went something like this:

Marc Giard was there! He called me up and we talked for a bit, then he proceeded to sho up and shred like noones buisness. He must have the straightest style of anyone I know, its incredible. He hit some really cool things.

Yax was there, hitting nice long runs and plenty o' big moves. Diving Barfly, Predator BSOS, a bunch of other things. Very close to Fury > Fusion!

Mathieu was there, of course :) He always is. He's been improving, and tonight he hit a bunch of really long strings, most of them tiltless with an occasional 3. He came close to ducking flapper, which is phat.

I played pretty good today, I felt "on". I hit Barraging Same Osis, which is pretty hard, so I was proud of that. Came sort-of close to Symposium Whirling Swirling Symposium Whirling Swirl. That's quite a mouthful, Ill just call it "Nick" from now on :D

I also got my sick 3 on video, though slightly out of control. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it will do, and JorDan will be hard pressed to beat it (hopefully).

I had Food Processor > GYBAS roll off my foot, which is frustrating, since I feel I should be able to hit that so easily. Symposium Whirling Gyro Mirage also off my foot, very frustrating with that one. If I hit it im going to call it "Laroche", Just so I can hit Nick > Laroche, which would be an amazingly huge combo!

James didnt show up... surprise surprise.... Call me bitch its been a while, I miss you asshole!!

Dats it Dats all, I have nothing funny or creative to add. Oh yeah, nah nvm. Actually. No. Anyway.

Hiphop.

Great session for everyone tonight
I got there one hour late due to our medical system, but what the hell, it's free so I should'nt complain..
Anyways it was Marc, Yax, Koa (Back from the dead) and me..
Everyone played really well, Koa hit blur for the first time I beleive, Marc hit pdx DLO for the first time, super clean too! Yax is getting back is shape,

As for me I'm pretty beat up from the ski I had yesterday, but I managed to hit my sick3 for the online competition on cam again (I deleted my old one by mistake).. So watch out division 4 ! unless I'm overrating myself for the competition !

I hope I win div 4 and Nick wins div 1, Montreal represent!
I'm gona go rest, last exam tomorow, hope more people show up on the next 2 sessions, because there are only 2 left, and I may not see everyone until August, unless Nick makes a party at is place for the montreal community,
Why Nick? I dont know.. but I think he should do it, especially since hes not going to philly :P

ya, tonights session was awsome, we all played amazing, it was soo good because we got another room that was completely empty, with no stupid kids in it, and it wasn't crowded cause there were only 4 of us.
Yacine was rippin it up, and giving me some great tips for my game.
As soon as he told me how to hit symposium DLO, i just hit it for the first time, also after a few tries of paradox DLO, his tips just guided me through it for the first time also. My game was actually back on track tonight, with around an 8 contact guiltless string all uniques, which is probably my record. I also hit alot of big moves (for me) that i havent hit in a while like alpine smear, on my first attempt, paradon swirl and then froze it!!!, symposium whirling swirl, pigbeater, and some others. I also touched pixie DLO, symposium tapping symposium illusion, PS whirl, and other cool stuff.
But i did miss the other regulars like nick, james, claudia, caro, elli, seb and fred, and anyone im missing,
all you shredders better make it there thursday, NDA is almost on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!

Got back from a session tonight.

It went ALRIGHT, but it could have been better. Im still stuck in the middle of a cold, so hacking up phelgm in the middle of a sesh is not fun. Also hitting an AWESOME sick 3 on video... while it was preparing to record, is not fun. Neither is not hitting it later on in the night. Whatever. I didn't even re-hit my the'd one which was pretty good, or would have been if it wasn't the'd. So I had to make do with some little one which probably wont win, but at least it is clean and controlled.

Caro played alright, but missed her nice combo infront of the camera. Still lots of pdx. whirls and drifters midstring, which is cool.

Marc Giard showed up, with his usual pixie/atomic/stepping madness. Came close to his flip double spin, very controlled.

Mathieu was there with Brand Spankin' New shorts, and nailing his eggbeaters pretty consistantly.

Yax was playing OK, but hes played better. Lots of good clean 5's midstring, which is fun.

Thats about it, not much. Excited for Chillu Philly, though i dont know how much practice I will have before it.. everything is shut down for awhile after christmas, its very annoying.

Well the last session of the year.. and we were lucky to get one because NDA was suposed to be closed early.. ended up playing till 9
Marc, Claudia, their friend Alex (im not sure), Kolo and Fred showed up..

I got there early.. and I stupidly tryed symposium mirage for over 30 minutes on flipside.. leaving my 2 legs really sore for the whole session.. I'll never do that again to warm up ! stupid me......

I played most of the time with Fred who did'nt play for a long time, he was doing as good as always, trying some new tricks, no sucess but showing he still has taste for more !

Kolo managed 2 long 20 contact strings using mostly 3 add tricks, really nice and insipring, he was way better then usual!

I'm working on a sick3 for the next competition already! I managed to almost clean it a couple of times, with the last move rolling off my foot

The end of the session was really fun, it was Kolo, Fred, Marc and me doing a competition for the first of us to hit reaper! We where all really close! Kolo hit it first.. I had it roll off my foot after, and Marc hit it leaving me and fred as the loosers :( But props to Marc and Kolo!! I'll have the video up soon.
I'm pretty happy to have it so close anyways, I can't even do DATW and reaper looks so doable to me..

Well Nick and James where missing again, probably playing Halo and calling themselves bitches :P We got to do the party next week at Nick's place.. send me a PM or something!

For the others.. See you on january 13th at the NDA, you better all be there as it will be my last session in Montreal for over 6-7 months..!

Sounds to me like you're all talk ;)

If my combo doesn't win - I will be shocked - but at least you're trying... :D

I don't know if I should announce this.. but what the hell, I'll be having an outside session on thursday the 23rd from 10pm to 10am on the 24th :D
It may sound crazy... but I'm staying in front of a store all that time so that I get 500$ for being the first customer on the 24th.. I'll have a few bags ready for the long wait!
If anybody feels attracted to the project, PM me (I doubt this will happen but I'm looking for assistance on this... plus 2nd customer gets also 300$)
Hope I can hold the weather and nobody is crazier then me and gets there first..
