i got my third over 600 for three games the other day

204, 233 (third highest ever), and 196

bowling and shredding are the best pasttimes.

Thats awesome! So far the highest series I've gotten is only a 570 I believe. Yeah, bowling and shredding are a great combo

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 29 Jan 2009 20:38

Shred then bowling earlier.

Bowling scores: 171, 181, 145 (I lost the momentum that game)
Current average: 171 ish

Footbag:

1.5 ish hour session maybe. Did a lot of basic drills and clipper work in the beginning. Then I just kinda drilled random things

Highlights:

Wauxpin

Rev Swirl bs

Flip Torque (midtime)

Allllllmmmmoost downtime torque. My understanding of the move is much better now

Ripwalk b2b

Strong pixie out of a xbd rake. Almost flip but no go

Challenge completed: Butterfly > Symp Mirage > ss Illusion > rpt

It was a fun session overall. Goodnight all

No footbag today but I did get up early to go play hockey on ghetto ice rinks with my friends. And by ghetto, I mean theose portable ones (a bix wooden box, a liner and water) It was a lot of fun. Because we werent using skates and there were holes and broken parts of the ice, it was quite extreme. Everyone now suffers from minor injuries.

After that, I helped my parents to finish moving the last of the furniture from our store. Today was our last day there. Sad. So now Always Elegant Gift Baskets is solely an online store (lol advertising

).

Time to go hunt for some evasive food in the kitchen

Laterrrrr

Got to play today for about an hour. I didnt want to drill today, just wanted to have more fun than anything with it since I hadn't played in like 9/10 days.

Highlights:

ss Butterfly>osis>infinity>infinity>pdx mirage>rpt

Non leggy Atomsmasher almost bs

Footed flip legbeater so many freaking times.

Fairy Beater

Kicked 6 of my 7 footbags into snow or mud

Fun

Yay footbag

Aaaaand I'm finalllllly almost done with my Eagle Scout Project! Just one thing left to do and I'm made in the shade

FINALLYYY had success in modding the insides of my climas. I got the two non stitched stripes off on each. Will do the stitched ones another time. On the stripes I hadn't really touched before I only got one or two little holes. But on the stripe that I first tried where I screwed up pretty badly, i got a nice hole under some of the stripe that I'll never touch again lol.

The shoes are no where near destroyed though

so far

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 09 Feb 2009 19:44

Clima mod as complete as its gunna be! Fins and stripes off (shotty job), toe area loop thing removed (almost impossible to be shotty). Now to have fun?

Played for 2-2.5 hours ish today. Started off pretty well then I got sidetracked after a while lol.

Highlights:

11 guiltless : smear > symp mirage > butterfly > pdx mirage > rpt > ducking mirage > butterfly > ducking clipper > drop on osis

Gyro osis bsos

kind of flip symp whirl. I guess I "technically" hit it, but the delay was rolling crap. Did that two or three times.

Worked pixies a bit. A few high sets from flip (couldn't actually control when I did it though, it just kinda happened

)

Close to a cool combo: symp pixie > symp butter > symp whirl. Even though I couldn't get the whirl it still felt cool

It was fun. Didn't really try for any challenges today.

One thing that angered me soooo much today though was that I was trying to get an action shot to put as a new facebook picture or something. My move of choice was symp whirl. I put the camera phone on 3 second delay and had it shoot 9 consecutive pictures. Every single time I did a good symp whirl, the freaking dex was to fast for the camera! I just couldn't happen to do it in the middle of the picture! Gah! I had to settle with another lame clipper picture. I'll get it next time.

Later

Played in my living room today. It was good for most of the session.

Highlights:

-modded toes of climas
-pickup > ss pickup > rpt > clipper > near pickup > legover > ss legover > rpt > mirage > ss mirage rpt > drop on illusion. (I liked this because I didn't have to work entirely too hard or spend too much time to do it.)
-flip spinning pdx mirage
-flip gyro mirage
-fear
-fudge
-muted fairy clipper
-fairy legover
-fairy same legover
-nothing involving flip fairy

-toe set zulu symp mirage
-pixie inside kick > legover bsos (yay challenge)
- [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19P4cwSKkOg[/youtube]

I really have to work on flip fairy like rigghhtt now. Heck I need to work on everything. But I'm still getting there. On a good note, i think flip pixie got a lot better today. Doing that challenge took a lot of tries because of either not kicking hard enough, kicking too hard, blah blah blah. It helped

Have a good President's Day

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 17 Feb 2009 19:47

Forgot to mention some basic drill things I did when I played yesterday

Clipper > Near Mirage > rpt x 41 contacts

Left clipper x10 > right clipper x10> left clipper x10> right clipper x10 >left clipper x10 > drop

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 18 Feb 2009 12:41

My gym teacher let me kick as a "rigorous exercise" today at the end of gym lol. It was fun.

On another note, today I turned 18. Damn, laws apply to me now

Had an hour ish night session last night while watching Matrix Revolutions. I was tired of not playing. Strings were non existant for the most part. Didnt really try for them.

Highlights:

Blizzard bs

Diving Clipper > Ducking Clipper > rpt (challenge completed

)

yay

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 27 Feb 2009 17:12

Just Brocka'd my climas. Yay. Hopefully.

All that remains is to fill in the cups

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 28 Feb 2009 11:26

Had a two hour session this morning. Don't think the brockas did anything for me whatsoever. Might have made my form worse

I just gotta be careful. Anyway

Started off with warming up with kicks and such. Then after some stalls and ATWs I get it in my head to try terrage. Takes me a bit, but I finally hit it both sides. After that I try toe barrage. I hit what I hope was a clean one strong side. Probably wasn't clean but was the closest I've gotten. Then I try delusion. I neearly hit it on each side. So close. Just couldn't seal the deal. Yay double dex's.

Then I move on to small drilling and such. After a few minutes I just start trying strings. I think it was somewhere around here that I hit gyro mirage bsos. Made me happy. After a few strings, I find that today it isn't all that hard to keep the bag up. I soon get 22 tiltless. With my record being 24 I was like "gosh darnit." Soon after that I'm doing a string where the bag just doesn't want to drop. I hit 15, then 20, then 25, then 30, then I finally drop on 32. Felt soooo good to finally hit a string of that length. A couple tries later I got 20. Again, felt good to have multiple 20+ strings for once.

There was other stuff but I forget/I'm too lazy. I'll just list the highlight stuff

Highlights:

terrage bs

toe barrage

gyro mirage bsos

31 tiltless

clipper and rake(toe) set inspinning clipper

a couple decent looks at guiltless stuff?

worked downtime whirls to try for pdx whirl. Hit strongside. Just couldn't get the flip. Close/soon though. I did feel like I made good progress with flip whirl cause I was flexing my ankle soo much better

finally flip legbeater

Fun

Didn't get to play on this wonderful snowday cause my mom won't let me

But I kinda felt like writing anyway.

A highlight I forgot from the other day was symp mirage > symp pixie > rpt.

Also I've been working on blenders a bit. I watched the Anz trick video for it and that seemed to help a lot. But I just cant seem to land it on flipside. I've footed sooo many times. Maybe I should go work osis more then come back to it. Another sign that I know I'm not doing it correctly on flipside is that after a bit my knee starts to hurt a tad.

I've also been coming soooooooooooooooo close to downtime torque on each side. When I used to try it, I couldn't even get my body twisting enough to get around to the osis. Now I get to the osis no problem but I can't seal the deal. Again, I should probably go work osis more.

I feel like I'm at the doorstep of guiltless. I think hitting 31 tiltless the other day was a major major step for me. Obviously I need to do it more and exceed that, but it was that giant leap that I needed. Overall, I think I can start knocking on that door.

I at least want to be mainly guiltless come end of april cause I plan on attending GRASS, beantown throwdown, or both. Where I'll get the money for this is an enigma to me. Going to disney for both the band trip at the end of march and the senior trip at the beginning of may is a wallet killer. Especially when that wallet is nearly dead already

Can't believe I wrote so much for not having played. It was fun, lets do it again sometime

Later

That sounds like a dope idea! Seriously.

I liked reading about your progression. Don't get too caught up in the tiltless guiltless thing man. Don't get me wrong, I mean, it's good to consider just don't build your development around it. The switch from tiltless to guiltless was a tough transition for me because I forgot about just enjoying shred, yah know. too concerned with conformity. Food for thought

Keep postin them highlights yo!

I really appreciate you taking the time to say that. I do have a bad tendency to be a bit over-competitive with things such as this, and its good to have a reminder every now and then to just take it easy. Guiltless will happen when my body is ready. Thanks

For a bit of time now I've been wondering about "reverse spinning." Upon further thought, a reverse spinning clipper would probably be an ingyro clipper. So tonight I went and hit ingyro clipper/osis. I think I'm going to try to get people to start saying "reverse spinning"

That'll make for a good time. I'll post the videos of each trick once they're on youtube in a little bit
