[SeRiAl ThIlLa~]

thast so aswesome. Im so glad i might be competing. I have been working so hard to get some tricks down for worlds. It was more a spontanious thing. But no matter what rank i come in (prolly last) it doesnt matter, Im just there for fun.

[david]

wait. are they in any certain order?

[Seath]

im going to get owned haha.. all in good fun..

[Chris Hanratty]

I feel the same way Ryan, good luck buddy! Us, and the NS crew will have to chill/shred for sure.

[Seath]

yea for sure, im so stoked.. Its going to be crazy being in a city full of shredders.. i envision circles at every corner.. haha

[HooD]

The order listed is in each event, they're first name alphabetized. I also made most of the list with 2 columns to save space, so you wouldn't have to scroll down forever.

[david]

ok cool, i thought those were the pools or something.

thanks.

[Splint]

I was going to post a whole new topic, but figured it best not to.

I'm just TOTALLY overwhelmed by Worlds. IT'S SO CLOSE. I find myself totally unable to concentrate on anything else. My heart is pounding and I'm all shaky. I haven't been since '99 and I'm just ready to FUCKING BURST. The only shitty part is that I'll mostly be stuck on the sidelines because of injuries. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....can't wait, can't wait, can't wait....da da dee da dee dada dee da
YYYYIIIIIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


can't sleep....dex's are coming at me

[HooD]

Splint , I'm not sure if you remember me, but I kinda met you at Chilly Philly, I couldn't play at all because of my knee, so I was the camera man for the whole 2 days. Can't wait to actually kick with the people i saw there, but wasn't physically able to. I think about worlds just about ever 10 minutes... I'm so ready for the biggest experience ever.

[mosher]

Anytime I have time to idle and think about something other than what I am immediately doing I revert back to daydreams of world's. This is my eden, this is all ive ever wished for.

this will be my first comp experience and I can't effing wait. There will be other skinny boys in short shorts and lavers, what a concept!

I will finally meet others who see the power contained within the number 32, others who wont say "oh, you mean hacky sack?", I will get to pass the bag to someone else!

Oh hot damn I am excited!!!

[KronoKicker]

Brad I hope you feel good enough to get up and kick for a lil while. It was awesome kicking with you at new paltz.

[david]

WAHOOOOOO WORLDS ALL UP IN MY GRILL. UH! GIVE IT TO ME!

so stoked. im buying an air matress to sleep on in the hotel. sooo stoked. i want to go so bad! only a few more days! shizzle!

[Guest]

You guys don't know how much I want to go. This is probably the closest Worlds is gonna be to me in about 5 years. Shit, it hurts.

[david]

isnt the net site next year in your backyard?

[King Monkey]

yeh screw you guys lol

j/k

i hope to go to finland next year but it wont be the same... i doubt anyone i know from NZ or AUS will be going if they went this year. maybe johnny... maybe Dan...

[HackyRichard]

Yay I'm officially done with work for 3 whole freakin weeks, no more answering fucking telephone calls from "customers" (substitute with appropriate term that you'd really call them ), and no more "business casual" dresscode crapola, 7 days till I land in Montreal it's on finally!!!

I was just looking at the way John had the open freestyle competitors listed in pairs, wouldn't in be cool if instead of routines/shred30 that was a rippin run/iron man/[whatever dual format you want] listing that has so many cool match ups, not sure how Loren would like being matched up with Lon, of the two Vu's who'd top who?, and who'd be in Tuukka's shoes going at it with Vasek

I'm sure you've read the journeys to tournies section, but I'd ask that you all spare a thought for Jeremy O'Wheel who's had to pull out of this worlds due to his step Dad being ill. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through at the moment Jeremy but you've made the right decision (as hard as it must have been) there will always be another worlds to go to, I hope everything turns out for the best with your step dad, I'll try and make up for you not being at world's but my accent needs work and I'm gonna have serious trouble matching up to your shred skills. But that's all minor stuff, hopefully we can catch up in Brizzy in September.

Anyone wanna be Jeremy's substitute for the intermediate net doubles, otherwise I'm gonna have great fun playing 2 on 1 for however many matches I end up surviving

Hey Ian I might give serious thought to making the trek up to helsinki next year so you wouldn't be a total no friends

6 days left (yeah I know I took ages to type this out )

[Chris Hanratty]

Yeah it's a shame about Jeremy, I was looking forward to meeting him!

Oh I can't wait... World's is so close that I can taste it!!!

I'd be your net partner, but I don't have any experience whatsoever, lol. Sorry .

[HackyRichard]

Years kicking a footbag/kicky bag/leaky crocheted POS ... um going on 7

Years infatuated with Freestyle just over 2

Games of footbag net played, um lemme think about this ... 0, zip, nada, haven't even kicked a net bag yet

So grab your net shoes (cross trainers will do fine) you just booked yourself into the intermediate doubles nets, should be a laugh I suggest you be our spiking person I'd probably break the net if I tried to spike and wiped it out

[Chris Hanratty]

Oh my, this should be fun then Let's go whoop some ass!!!
