I started off this year traveling to Ecuador for a study abroad program, and I started kicking more or less every other day or so with a legitimate 32 panel Nick so graciously gave me. Being in south america over winter was SO beneficial in my game because I was able to play outside in gorgeous weather all the time.
Since getting back in the spring, I've been kicking pretty consistently mostly solo but also sessioning with the few players Columbus, OH has to offer (which IS GROWING now
) and kicking with PA folk when I'm back for breaksAs for my game, I'm currently a decent tiltless player, have legovers, pickups, mirages, illusions, atws, butterflies and symp mirages consistent on both sides.
other tricks: clippers (NOT strong on flip side, though I can get them fairly consistently), pdx mirages (solid strong, flipside probably 40%), pdx legovers (flipside a bit messy due to weak clippers), pdx illusion (same story), spinning (flipside isn't too bad), whirls, xbd rakes (working on bs), osis (need work)
have decent stepping set both sides, needs work though, pixie set, atomic set, quantum set (all only strong side), can duck and dive strong side only (unless from a toe set, another product of weak flip clippers),
some "bigger" tricks I've hit: PS mirage, pdx flail, gyro mirage, blur, blurrier, stepping clipper (bs), ripwalk, legbeater, atom smasher, atomic tapping mirage, toe blur, tripwalk, pdx whirl, barrage, double spinning toe, spinning xbd rake, pixie rake, magellan, DLO, smear, dimwalk, pixie ss mirage, ducking butterfly (have hit bsos), pdx ducking mirage, ducking osis, and some others
I've hit PS whirl once, it was a glorious day, only 5 add I've hit
So today I've been on modified basically since I got back from NYJ like 5 hours ago, hahaha. Needless to say NYJ 2010 gave me good times, motivation to step up my game, and enough shred to last a while (or at least for a day or so
Some stuff listed up there I hit first time in Chicago
toe blur xbd rake bsos pixie ss mirage atomic tapping mirageWasn't trying a whole lot of new stuff @ NYJ though. I'm really trying to get some longer strings because consistency is something I lack and I'm trying to work on. I can hit a decent amount of 4 add tricks and whatnot, but I need to work on getting 15-20 contacts without bailing to toe so often (and mirage for that matter).
Gonna start drilling asap. Gonna start with flip clippers for sure, and I also need to drill osis like mad. Nick and Zach noticed looking over some footage of some strings last night that osis is a very weak component, especially because I TRY to use it as a saver so often.
That's it for now, I need to.. get off modified for a little while lol
comments/advice/suggestions for drills are very much encouraged
hope you find someone or get someone involved in kicking when ur down in Ecuador. though it was beautiful every day and ideal kicking weather, shredding alone is only fun for so long.. and actually, I don't know if this is the case in chile, but Ecuador is something like 3,000 meters above sea level, so sessions were pretty short generally because your lungs get tired FAST
)
) But seriously, I have to kick a lot solo back in OH, which I don't particularly enjoy, and being home, I always know I'm 5 minutes away from potential shred 
Plus I can't wait to see how sick Jarae gets 
so I have to get a new one today. it's such bullshit because that bong was truly already broken for a while: the base was basically saran wrapped and my roommate SOMEHOW broke the 6 percolator chamber in the middle. but I eventually did it in and now have to invest a few hundred $ now, meh.
