damn dude I told you what this was the other day. Atomic dod!

good shit though. Hit like 5 tomahawks to get the feel for the dex then try alpine blurry whirl. You've already got the set.

kick this summer!

Lol yeah, it didn't stick with me. I knew it had a double dex in it. I tend to have short-term memory loss with tricks that I've never even gotten close to hitting, such as Fusion :P

For instance, my atomic sets suck and I've never hit a single dod, let alone paradon. Maybe some day. Now that I've been told twice, I don't think I'll ever forget it again... hopefully.

I've hit a lot of Tomahawks already, and my stepping ducking felt "on" tonight, so I figured I'd try it. I feel it soon. Dude, I forgot to mention in my first post, while I was experimenting with stepping ducking pdx tricks, I thought about your video and I tried Gauntlet :P It looked sloppy, but felt wicked!

Anyway, I was sitting in my parents' livingroom tonight. I had a bowl of cereal. I started to watch a movie... Now that college is out, it's like kinda whack. No more room mates. No more listening to loud black couples argue about the girl cheating on the guy because the guy wore too many bracelets... No more apartment. No more looking out the window with binoculars at cops arresting students... Kinda depressing. After being there all damn year, I got so used to it. Now everything is fairly mundane... So I drilled footbag.

:arrow: Spent about a half hour drilling gyro op clipper in the kitchen.... with a light right above me that cast a shadow... and I was wearing my glasses, which I had to rubberband to my head to keep them from flying off... and I had to keep relatively quiet to keep from waking my parents... This is why I only drilled them for 30 minutes.

Bob gave me a bunch of really good homework and goals to hit, so I'll be obsessing about those until I can do them all.

As requested..

Matt: I guess I do prefer them over Lavers. More comfortable, less bag drop, better stalling surfaces, there's a frog on them (Frogs<3). I see how people say your clippers get lazy, but I plan on following the wise words of Mark M.. "Shred in Units, Train in Lavers". I was sold on the frog though. I plan on getting a Red-Eyed Tree Frog tattoo that looks like he's clinging onto my calf, looking outward with a footbag for his eye. So that is probably going to look cool with a tree frog on my leg and a tree frog on my shoes.

Plus Mobius is CAKE.


:arrow: Dimwalk> Pdx Mirage rpt This may seem small for everyone who reads this, but I just found my flip pixie the other day. It's been hiding up my ass for quite some time now. That will sound so wrong to everyone who just glances at those words I just wrote.

And thinking about what Ken wrote, I figured it could either mean, "good job" or "wrong trick name" But I think it means the first one. Gonna go practice gyro op clipper some more now.

Edit: :arrow: oh and I footed flipside Fume. Not quick enough yet.

I think he meant wrong trick name. Well not exactly but you don't need the "op" part since there is no way to hit gyro same clipper.

The above no longer matters to me, whether I got the trick name wrong or not...

my only advice would be to try not to extend your leg outward so much, it doesnt help your balance. Also try doing it without completely stopping the string, making it more fluid.

Otherwise, props thats a hard link!

Damn! Glad everyone seems to be enjoying that. I know I did. Thanks for all the props and "fuck yeah's", guys.

Zeb, thank you for the advice, I'll take your advice into practice with me next time I try mob> mob again.

Mark, I'm so stoked I was actually able to inspire you[/] this time, other than the other way around, which is usually the case :P Good luck on hitting it again.

Just kicked most of the day away in my new units. I love these things. Not really any sick highlights from me, but Jackson hit his first Ripwalk!!! I was so stoked for him.

:arrow: Pdx Mirage> Dimwalk rpt mid-string. My flip pixie is like an alien that is slowly learning to become human. I hope it will meld with my strongside soon.

I just contacted a new played from Central PA. I saw he was a new member on modified, so I pm'ed him asking exactly where in central PA he lived. He informed me that he lives in Selinsgrove... Which happens to be about 5 minutes from my parent's RV. We arranged to meet up next time I go down there. Also, Ryan Straub's family's RV is like 2 down from our's, so he will be joining our session too. Tim Harper and Josh Harper are about 10 minutes or so from our campsite, so they want to join in too. They just got an RV and are hopefully going to be vacationing at our campsite this upcoming year. The scene certainly is looking very promising these days. There's been such a hatching of PA freestylers recently. I'm lovin' it.

Huge props Nick!
I knew you would hit it. You've got that crazy determined aura about you that makes me believe you could do anything. You posted, like, 3-4 times in the mobius back-to-back thread before actually hitting the combo, but even though you were so far away when you first posted you, like, knew you would get it. Super inspiring! Keep it up! I hope we can jam in the future.
