Sweet. Too bad you look so dangly in them though.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 02 Jan 2008 12:29

Very true. I'm going to write highlights that didn't get covered in my write up. There were a lot of important people that didn't make into the write up for some reason.

Highlights!!!
________________________
- Fuckin' Steve Goldberg! He's sooooooo cool! He even has a picture of me on his phone now. He waves 100 dollar bills in your face too, it's funny.
- Dave. So ridiculous. Furious Rev Whirl was my favorite trick he hit all tournament. Awesome. I hate how he's defined by footbag though. So smart and witty and funny.
- Mathieu. Yeah dude. Mathieu. (Gauthier)
- Laroche. He's one of my favorite people from the tournament. Monopoly master for sure, and really funny. He knows a lot about Montreal (something to do with an island? wtf?).
- Roomates. Matt, Cody B, Cody C., and Grant. You guys were great.
- Dave's room. Thanks a ton for letting me crash in there that night.
- Colin. lol. That dude is sooooo funny. I'm not cut out for factory work.
- Jay. He's going to be good. He's got it figured out now that Dave and Ben and I(?) told him what to fix.
- Hitting Ripstein 3 times in front of Dave. Ripstein hack!
- Laroche's sick style. It's even better in person.
- That panini on the first day. Ughghhhh soooo goooooddddd.
- Missing the very first shred with Dave and Evan.

I was psyched as hell to play too.
- Monopoly. Hot fuck that was fun. I never won, but still. Monopoly is a lot of luck, but also a lot of skill.
- Holly. She's nice, and weird and funny.
- Brian. We didn't really talk at all. I asked him for patching tape that I forget to get though! I'll buy some soon.
- Henry. So damn funny. lol. Great funny jokes. Sometimes they went over my head.
- Mostly good music the entire weekend. That was one of my biggest worries.
- Dangly.
- Jay trying the thing that all good players do with the arms on clipper thing. lol. It was funny.
- Evan's ridiculousness.
- Everybody congratulating me on competing so well. I was genuinely surprised.
- Dave saying he was almost proud of me.
- Congratulating Dave on the best nemesis he has ever hit in circle comp.
- Lots of peanut butter crackers.
- Mucho noise complaints.
- Escalators aren't toys!
- Being sick.

- Zeke and how awesome he is at squares.
- Goldberg saving everybody at squares.
- Getting kicked in the face by Holly.
- CiC. Every single one of those guys kicks a ton of ass. Tom has really cool style. His fluxes are so clean. Nathan came to Kansas City and kicked with us. Zeke is funny and awesome. Sounds way different than I thought though. Freddy is fun. He ate my damn candy. Uhh. I think those are the only ones I hung out with? Oh! Jon Nagela sucks at monopoly. Jeff Richards bought Pulled Pork with Dave, Bowler and I.

Ok. That's enough. I decided not to do a travel write up. Who cares. It went badly.

I disagree about escalators.

You looked really stoned in the first monopoly pic

Session.

Played like TOTAL ass. lol. It was fun though. I worked spinning and flip swirl/osis. Got Merkon bs.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 03 Jan 2008 13:40

Played like total ass again. I can't wait until the snow melts. I need to play outside where there is light. My basement is horribly tiny and underlit. That's probably why I played so well at NYJ, because I could see.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 04 Jan 2008 06:38

i know what you mean.

i play on rug and in bad light so it's horrible. my stepping gets like completely absorbed into the carpet. trains well for springtime though.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 04 Jan 2008 14:38

When will I stop being sick? This is fucking ridiculous.

Moxie · Post by **Moxie** » 04 Jan 2008 22:04

I got sick after NYJ. Get well soon.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 04 Jan 2008 22:09

Sorry if I got you sick.

Same to you though!

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 06 Jan 2008 03:34

There's quite a history of getting sick or wearing yourself out so much you can't play after NYJ. I think a bunch of us escaped the curse this year. Well not you guys. I'm a bitch.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 06 Jan 2008 20:18

lol. I think I'm over being sick now. Right in time for school to start again! Yaaayyyyy!!!

Of Mice and Men is a realllllylyyy good book. I usually don't like books they tell us to read, but this one is probably in my top 5 (including Harry Potters!).

Anyways, I had a really crazy dream last night. It was like the holocaust. I was one of the ones being hunted down and eventually after running away from these big police-vans that were rounding people up they brought us to the "concentration camp" (my school). They made us run on treadmills and stuff. We sneaked around a lot, and tried to escape like 3 times to the sanctuary (the middle school, which is like a half mile away from the high school, seperated by football fields and tennis courts). All of the crazy nazi-tennis players always caught us or something, but we just kept on running and eventually we got to the sanctuary, where the opening was like the ending of I Am Legend. I can't even explain this dream. Sorry, that probably made no sense at all. I usually don't dream though, so that was fun.

American Gladiators is SOOOOOOOO cheesy. Holy shit. It's awesome though.

The new DC video blew my mind, even though I witnessed most of it in person. It seriously was Vasek-quality. Damn. I can see how I would be bored if I got that good, not having any competition. I want a new Jim video now. Damn.

Wee big post. It was super nice outside today, I even played disc golf! I'm going to play footbag tomorrow OUTFUCKINGSIDE. All of the snow melted! YESSSS!

I'm out.[/img]

Post by **Zac Miley** » 07 Jan 2008 13:29

It's 60 degrees outside. Footbag! I hope the concrete is dry.

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 07 Jan 2008 14:35

It's 64 here today! Go freak midwest weather.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 07 Jan 2008 15:06

Yeah, definitely! I wish my legs would want to move though, I feel really sluggish. I may go get an energy drink and go up to the community center or something.

I played a bit, fooled around with dyno and some spinning again. Got a perfect flip spinning clip. Spinning Clip>Drifter is fun. Got Spinning Clip>Drifter>Gyro Clip once.

EDIT: Another session. Played crappily again. I'm going to save the rest of my energy for the session with Cody tomorrow.

Worked gyro clipper. Got a few solid ones.

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 07 Jan 2008 20:14

props on the flip spinning clip, and on the other stuff too.

i realized something at nyj... and in the videos following the event...
cut yer hare boay!

or wear a headband?

Post by **Zac Miley** » 07 Jan 2008 20:34

Haha, yeah. Hopefully I'll be getting a haircut this or next week. It is getting pretty ridiculous.

Frank_Sinatra · Post by **Frank_Sinatra** » 08 Jan 2008 06:53

Word on the street is sweatbands are the new hotness. Just sayin.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 08 Jan 2008 16:03

I don't like stuff on my head when I play unless it's a hat. Meh. I'll just get a haircut.

Session.

Symp Pixie, Clip Symp Mirage bsos
Symp Pixie>Symp Pixie (Evan G. is crazy! 50 some?!)
Flip Muted ss Egg
Played with Muted Fairy
Smudge>Symp Pixie>Paradon
Phoenix bsos (flip midstring!

I haven't tried flip pixie ducking a whole lot, so that was a nice surprise)

I'm feeling really happy with my game atm. I'm hitting a lot of cool bsos stuff like Smog, Phoenix, Pixie Paradon, etc. that I once thought wasn't going to be hittable.

I nearly had an F for English last semester. I should probably try a bit harder.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 08 Jan 2008 20:09

Back into the swing.

Rev Whirl, Toe Rev Whirl, Pixie Rev Whirl bsos same string.
Ripwalk x 3>Stepping Clip>rpt 9 contacts>run
Lots of Flip PDX Illusion
Some Pixie Shuffle>Spinning Clip>Drifter>Gyro Clip>Run
Barfly>Barfly midstring[/i]

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 09 Jan 2008 08:21

damn, totally forgot about toe rev whirl, thanks!

barfly>barfly is sweet, i really like that.

have you tried Spanishfly yet? (ducking barfly)

it's a cool move to add to the arsenal and if your good at double dexes its mildly easy to hit. tad harder to clean if you have problems with thin doubles.

good luck!
