Props on the promotion and good luck on your clips .

If there are any problems with your shirts you can give me one more I can take two as well .

please make sure that they are both medium and and not the same color .

I can paypal you just give me the amount .

Good luck on the spinning tricks - I school them as well these days and this concept is the most underrated by me . It is really weird to see how easy people are used to spin and then to try it yourself .

Yo Jochen!

We should trade bags some time, there was a docbag at KICKASS and it was sweeeeeet!

For two shirts it will be $30 plus shipping, and shipping is probably like.. $5.

I have mediums left in all three colours, which two of yellow/black/pink would you like?

PM me I guess..

I don't know why I am not PM-ing this myself... oh yeah, because I wanted to tell everyone how great your bags are.

DOC BAGS RULE! :D

Here's Tom's godly bag. Kind of a shitty picture, but I've gotta run. I'll post some nicer ones later.

Shredded with Owen T. two days in a row. Waaaaay fun both times!

He has improved SOOOOOOOOOOOO much since I last saw him, and frankly he has achieved A TON in the amount of time he's been playing, very impressive.

I hit symp whirling swirl BSOS, the second one may have been a little thin though. Oh, and pheonix>symp whirling swirl was a new fearless link for me.

I am painfully close to scorpions tail!!! Someday soon that will be my bitch!

I fiiiiiiiiinally hit vortex!!! I only footed the other side sadly. But still, it felt great to hit that trick, Ive wanted it so bad for so long. I saw a clip of me trying it at like.. 2 months into playing on my computer, I think I may post that because of how completely retarded I look. hehe

I think nemesis is about.. 2 months away right now. I can feel it. I drill barraging every session and janiwalker is pretty easy now. I guess I need to drill my blurriests more to get the timing down.

I love DOD's! Owen was doing them and that inspired me to start chucking them too and they are toooootally stringable! how about that! I think I figured out the key to them, it's all about the delicate set placed in just the right spot. I find that if I don't focus on the set enough the whole thing falls apart, but if I just put like.. a few extra microseconds of thought into it it's real easy like.

Oh, and I hit diving butterfly BSOS and dropped the second ducking butterfly in going for them BSOS in the same string. Diving butterfly is soooo stylish! I must remember it more!

When I couldn't hit scorpions tail Owen had me hit spinning clipper>DDD because of it's semi-similarity.. hehe, its got basically the same parts!

Oh! and I got real close to dominatrix again, it flung away from me and Owen caught it and claimed that he sealed it for me. :lol:

I hit 22 ripwalks again! that was kinda a kick in the balls because I so badly wanted at least 30 rips and 22 was my old record.. if I shred tonight I will go for my record again. I have basically no motivation to beat my infinity record of 108.. I still try now and then but I usually drop around 100 and lose interest.

I want fusion and plasma so bad.

I hit half of blubberman!

I hit a big chunk of plasticman! i think i did paradon>barfly>barrage>paradon>bar..kick the bag away, I will lay that one down soon.

OHHH!! good news!!!
So Jared just recently bought a TV tuner thing for his computer that lets him watch TV on his computer and another feature it has is the ability to take analog stuff and convert it to digital. This feature comes in mega handy considering I have an analog video camera!!! That means that very very soon the KFM will be putting out lots and lots of videos with good framerate and SOUND. Also, we will have the ability to film lots and lots since we won't be limited to the amount of space on my memory cards so we can film tons of strings and capture alot more goodness.

I will film like crazy at this weeks KFM meeting and put together a video from that.

I am stoked on the enthusiasm of some of the clubs members! Jack and Ben have been enthused since I met them and they've both been progressing well. Jack is progressing at a pretty absurd rate though, much like Derrick did. At the last meeting Jack was DUCKING HIS PIXIES after like.. 2 months of shred! 8O He was very very close to pheonix, and I saw him hit a nice pixie ducking clipper. He's hit dimwalks, ripwalks, sidewalks and b2b ducking clippers. Oh and get this, after 2 months he has already skooled me once!!! I was working on zooming and out of nowhere he fucking nails osis>spinning clipper BEFORE I DID. jeeeeeeeeez.

Ben is making a real honest effort to even out his sides and he is making lots of progress. He's got nice illusions too. He needs to get some proper shred shoes, I think that will really help him out, I know how hard it is to pull tricks off in shoes that aren't really inclined towards shred.

Derrick, KFM prodigy #1, is grounded because he did some dumb shit and got caught, I really like this kid, it's too bad he rolls with the wrong crowd sometimes. I do my best to be a good role model for him and stuff, I know he's smart and that he can do well at life, he just needs to stop lying his way through life so much. Good kid.. INSANE talent too. Also, he seems to get me well, like.. he knows all my flaws and puts up with my BS pretty well.. I suck sometimes.

Dammit, I have to go study robots.. wheeeeee....

Oh yeah, Ive been playing footbag almost everyday for quite a while now.. it's rare when I miss a day. Peng is really great motivation too, she often suggests that we go shred or stitch, which keeps me motivated in both activities. I think it's great that she wants to get real good at footbag, that's honestly all it takes. Man, Peng is so awesome, we hang out soooooo much and it's really great all of the time. Our gears mesh really well and even if we aren't doing anything in particular it's still always quite fun. And my gosh, can she ever stitch!!! She makes bags with really cool patterns and she's been putting lots of time into experimenting with different stitching styles trying to figure out what she likes the best and in the process she's pumped out quite a few really nice bags.

I am finally really happy with how my bags are coming out, Ive always wanted to make bags that are like the ones I make now. They are uniform, wrinkle-free, SOFT and just the right size. Also, with Peng's help Ive finally got a filler I am really stoked on. I like playing with bags I make, it's a really rewarding experience.

Fuck, I always type too much.

bleh, i guess it's because I have basically no motivation to start studying robotics.

oh yeah, last thing, i am at like.. 3 weeks smoke free! woo hoo!

Even though I was either there or heard about all of this (because, well... I live with you) I still like reading about it in your blog. how funny is that?

Also, I can't believe how good Jack is. He's already WAAY better than me. Maybe it's because I don't play very much? :oops: Ah well, I play five instruments on a regular basis, so it's not like I'm wasting my time...

Also, I can't wait to start editing using the copy of Adobe Premier I downloaded. I'm gonna fucking fill my hardrive with phat shred. If I can't lay it down myself, I can at least make you look good doing it!

KINGSTON

Just had a sucky shred.. well.. it was medium. I didn't accomplish much but I know that any time spent playing is an investment in my skills later on.

A few new things though..

- dod>rip bs
- torque>blur bs (tooootally inspired by mirken) (feels soo sick)
- assassin bs

The other day when we were shredding Jared requested that I hit our phone number in ADDs. Our number is 542-4244, I hit blurry whirl>torque>far legover - (pause)>dimwalk>far legover>parkwalk>sidewalk :lol:
It was alot easier than trying to hit my cell phone number which is 329-8467, that's a doozy!

Good times here in Kingston. :)
