OMG, today i hit 6 consecutive blurry whirls. That is a lot of blurry whirls. Before today, I had only hit 3 consecutive blurry whirls, so you can imagine my surprise as I was hitting that sweet, sweet combo. That is also my first linking of 6 fearless contacts, even tho there were only 2 uniques in the string.

i hit flip fusion for the first time tonight. It was prolly pretty thin, but Im counting it. Also I hit 2 clean flipside "wet dreams" or "flaming tards." That was a first as well.

Other than that, I hit 4 consec barflies again, a nice small symp run, a nice ducking/diving run with about 6 variations of single leg dexing after ducks/dives, and blurry whirl>fog. Also, i hit vortex>whirling swirl.

Jackbag hit her first flipside mirage, sealed with a toe stall. I was more excited than she was, but she was excited. She also hit her longest run:
-mirage> toe>toe>pixie>toe>pixie>toe>drop on flip pixie

I finally hit a fucking ripstein!

It only took 5 years of freestyling. Now I can quit.

Long session tonight. Almost too tired to type.

I managed:

janiwalker>bedwetter

flip atomic dog (atomic dlo) for first time!

blurry whirl> blurry drifter (1 side only)

ripstein about 4 times, all unsealed or w/ handcatch

clooooose to pixie ducking drifter

i wasnt trying to hit runsa at all this session, just skooling tricks, combos, and concepts. It was fun I guess. I hit good stuff, but i didnt feel as if it was a great session.

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 19 Dec 2004 22:34

-ripstein 5 times, selaed with whirl and osis today
-good quantums again; 1 run with 6 unique quantum moves
-close to flip gyro dlo
-hit my first challenge; blurry whirl>infinity>ripwalk>repeat!
-4, 5 consec. symp whirls
-flip fog>smear

I went to LA last week and had 2 sessions with various LA shredders, mostly Chris Pinkus. It was fun. Neither of us shredded our best, thats for sure, but some good shit was hit.

i remember chris hitting some absurd shit, something like: backside fog> pandemonium>backside smog (dont quote me tho)

also . . . continuing to improve his clippers, can hit blurs, ripwlks, etc.

I hit

genesis sealed with a run, captured on video! It was comfirmed to be clean by a couple witnesses and will sometime be uploaded to comp. format but i dont know when. In a few days, I'll get to hred with Ales , Dat, Jackbag, Moxie, and Felix.
