hahahahahahahha.
nice signature. whate happened to the Penn State server?

Tonight I went to play tennis with my brother. I was going for a big return and boom, my back explodes in pain. I don't know exactly what happened, but I guess I twisted in a bad way. I can't bend over, stand up or really move at all with out pain. Obviously, my big plan of strengthening my game for Funtastiks is on hold right now, but I guess now I'll be able to sew a lot now.

ahaha. holy shit I look skinny! i hope thats not how skinny I actually am. Maybe I should work out a bit?

Also, I think I have more range in tricks than that shows, but it is something for me to work on.

I watched your little video, and I have some comments.

Wow, you're good, and just as small as HenryG! You, Henry, and Lauri should have a small-person battle

Anyway, you hit a lot of cool stuff, but throughout, I kept thinking, OMG he is going to come crashing down any one of these tricks now and get injured. I think it was because of the skinniness of your legs and your overall slight frame. Of course its not your fault- you just haven't grown into your adult body yet. Phoenix>pdx torque was nice. Its cool how you have learned to minimize the motios of your legs for moves like drifter and torque so that they dont seem like difficult moves for you. Nice work! Thanks to the movie maker as well!

Awesome movie! I look like Ales compared to you!

You are probably much taller than me, but my legs are not nearly as stick ish. I am willing to battle

Great great movie

heyhey.

So, David Clavens is coming into town, and me, him and Scott Bevier plan to have a sick session on Friday. A camera might accompany us as well.

What else, lets see, I go to Hershey Park on the 13th. I love the medium sized roller coasters, big ones scare the crap out of me! I went there near the end of June, and witnessed the Storm Runner in all its glory. This mofo shoots you off at 70 mph in less than 2 seconds! No way I'm going on that one.

Yesterday I went to a skatepark in Philly. It was fun, but I'm not a crazy freak who will do anything, so I kinda suck at skating. I learned a little bit, but mostly I went to film my friends and just have some fun.

got back from the session, it was sweet. I played pretty bad mostly, but I managed blurry drifter bsos, and 9 tripless (park-blur-dim-blur-park-side-rip-rip-torque). We got a little bit of stuff on video, its sweet too!

I'll go more in depth later.

Right. So, on Thursday I decided to have a little fun with my ct 300s. I dyed them black! They look effing amazing, all the canvas is black, and the stitches, eyelets and padding are all gray. Unfortunately, I dyed them using water that was too hot, and ended up shrinking both the canvas upper and foam sole layer. Basically, the very bottom of the show is still the same, the rubber part of the sole. Then comes the foam, and that contracted a little, causing the rubber and foam to seperate in a couple area.

I notice that and think, "No biggie, thats nothing a little shoe goo can't fix!" I knew they'd be a little tight, but I didn't mind, because I like smaller shoes. Upon closer inspection, however, I notice that the canvas upper part has shrunken even more than the foam! Ack! So, I cut out all the padding in the back so they still fit me, and now they give me blisters, and I'm looking for a new pair of shoes, which brings me to my next point.

What shoes to get? I would like another pair of ct300's but they're out of the question because I can't find them in my size anywhere. I don't like the 520 toe box, but maybe I'd get used to it? I hate lavers with cut toe boxs, they're just to slippery and they suck for me. My friend has a pair of lavers with boxes, and I like them, but will they be okay for my knees? I'd like to play a lot, not get sore after every session and sit out every other day all the time. So then I think maybe reverse modded lavers would be cool, but there's still the same problems as above. My last choice in the g units. I think they would be nice for my feet, but every time I see a pic of them, the sole looks huge, and the surfaces look tiny. decisions, decisions.

520 toe boxes are the shit! Those are my FAVORITE toe box out of lavers, 520s and 300s. I thought the 300 box was the worst... its slanty and shit. The 520 box is flat. And it has tiny tiny walls. they are there, but they dont hinder pixies/fairies. I would go with 520s. comfort, good stalling surfaces (after shoo goo)

Either way you will be good. Pics of 300s?

play in reverse modded lavers, and play on your toes.

Hmm.... I'm going to have to try dying my 300's black - thanks for the idea.

About your shoe problem, I would go with Lavers with superfeet insoles or G-Units. I never got the impression that G-Units had tiny surfaces -- it seems like they have more or less the same frame as Lavers, just more supportive.

SandWraith · Post by **SandWraith** » 06 Aug 2005 19:29

Lavers without gel insoles = shit for knees
Lavesr with gel insoles = the shit (in a good way)

Then again, I haven't tried 520's or 300's. But lavers are an option even with the knees.

Nathan · Post by **Nathan** » 07 Aug 2005 05:34

Like I said, I think they look pretty sweet. The fact that the sole came off doesn't really bother me, they're just too small. So, Sam, if you dye them, DO NOT USE HOT WATER, at least, not water that is too hot to touch.

Thanks for all the help on shoes, I'm leaning towards lavers, and away from g uints, but I'm pretty sure I'm not getting 520's, sorry henry.
