Great. Way to go and post crap in my blog, moving it to the next page, so that nobody will even bother to check the last page for the amazing things I just posted about! And you suckerss ruined my views per post count too by posting so fast in succession without giving my true fans time to read and digest all the available information. What were you thinking?! You've been downgraded from carpeted floorspace to cement Grotto space.

The highlights for those too lazy to back were 13 unique tripless, flip mob>flip pdx blender, and 25 ripwalks (other random crap too)

Reverse flail is called bread? Why don't you hit atomic bread?

Props on the unique tripless. I've been really wanting to see that kind of thing show up in one of your vids, and finally maybe it will.

Session at Beach today. Kind of a weird one. 5 person circle with everyone playing, too large for my taste, so most of the time I played alone, schooling. I did enter the circle a bit later though, when the size was down to 3 (including me).

I saw Moxie hit fairy muted ss rev whirl. That was cool. If she reads this though, she should definitely be trying it with a plant and with pointed toes.. I saw Alex (newish SC shredder from grass valley) hit tor ripwalk>pdx drifter, which was awesome b/c he's just starting to hit pdx drifter. His cl;ipper style is slowly improving, but still a bit rushed.

I hit 25 ripwalks again. I hit flip mobius>pdx drifter, flip mobius>ripwalk> and flip mobius>ripwalk>ripwalk.

My longest shuffle run ever, about 24 geniune contacts right into about 5-8 more cool contacts.

Also pdx whirling swirl>ripwalk, and whirr>whirr>whirling swirl.

Oh yeah, backside haze, which Jason Crook calls "coastal haze" I hear. I hit it both times I tried it, and I'd never really tried it before. I rule.

Solo garage session=approx 2.5 hours, maybe a bit less. Although I tried to get runs on camera, I was struggling to link my basic stuff so I decided to just exploit the new moves and big moves Ive been hitting lately.

Before you read these highlights, realize that each one of these took me multiple attempts, sometimes as many as 50 or 100, but in the end, I hit them all, cleanly with either hand catches or guiltless seals.

-whirr>diving whirl

-jani>blurriest>pdx torque (new 555)

-flip jani>blurriest??

-jani>ps dlo>toe whirling swirl(dropped it tho)

-symp whirling swirl>symp whirling swirl

-symp whirling swirl>janiwalker

-bedwetter>pixie paradon>ps whirl (new 555)

-after skooling flip ripped warrior for tlike the 2nd time ever, I hit flip ripped warrior for the first time ever! Then I decided I would hit it again to prove it wasn't a fluke, so I hit it again about 5 tries later. Then, I decided I was thirsty but that I wouldn't take a drink until I hit a third one . . . which came about 150 tries later. It tok like 20 minutes to get that drink! I was so frustrated!

-flip symp torque again

-then symp torque bsos again

-then symp torque> symp torque

-lastly, janiwalker> flip symp torque

Other than that I hit 1 flip atomic dlo, which for some reason got hard again all of the sudden. Oh yeah, and I hit fairy ss miragex7, very controlled ones too!

Thanks for reading.

whirr>diving whirl

then symp torque> symp torque

Props.

Great stuff! Symp. Whirling Swirl > Janiwalker must have looked great - I think I'll try it on my next session

Too bad you dropped that PS DLO combo, it's really unique

Good luck on your next sessions!

Not too shabby!

Yes! Yesterday I added to that by hitting gravedigger>symp torque again and I hit gravedigger>pdx torque>pdx torque! I had gravedigger>mobius off of my foot twice too! One run with grave, pixie ss torque and a pdx torque or two in it.

Just spent a period walking around the campus of Ascencion Solorsano Middle School with a student attempting to track down the "boot" for an FM system (like a hearing aid), which was lost at an undetermined time earlier today. I found it! Go me. That was an expensive loss, but a precious discovery.

EDIT: Fantastic experience #2

Just got off the phone with a mom notorious for fighting with the school district to receive special services for her son. I convinced her to sign away her rights and submit to language-only testing, thereby averting a possibly disasterous tuesday morning meeting with about 50,000 district representatives and lawyers etc. I just accomplished what no district employee has been able to do in about 5 years . . . and I did it over the phone.

Will edit with footbag information later on hopefully.

EDIT: was waiting to hear from my club mates for much of the night. They never contacted me, but apparently they had a session. Must have been during the day when i was busy . . .

How did you do this? Was this some sort of overcoming objections process? Always love to hear these influence stories, especially when they end in win/win.
