Awesome stuff! I've never really seen anybody play barefoot before so that was indeed very cool. Seemed like you hit a good many new things that session too!

Your expressions were priceless.

All the Cloud Delay moves were sick! You've got a very unique style.

**Edit: Was that your house? It's fucking beautiful man!! Looked like perfect weather that day.

You have no idea

Janis, huge props! That was awesome. Now I know why you wanted me to watch

Some of those drills were huge

Your run length has been so good lately

Oh, and big step up with the editing, great job! I looooove that song.

Reverse Whirl video was fucking awesome man! I loved all of the unque setting surfaces. Nice job on Dyno both sides. It's a fun move. ; ) I'll leave some Dyno challenges for you. Ducking Reverse Whirl was awesome too man! Have you hit it Flipside too?

janis · Post by **janis** » 11 Feb 2007 05:16
