Alright, it's a deal. I will be there at 3:00pm Saturday. No bullshit. I have just been adjusting to my new schedule at school, lifting weights at 6am every day, battling a cold(wednesday), and in general just being a total pussy. Sorry man.

No mowah! Eatz thyme to DO IT NOW!

I will be there, if not, you can burn my house down. *hand shake*

Hey, last session was great! I'm so glad that Casey, Alex and Toby showed. It kinda sucks that Alex hurt his ankle spinning but hopefully he's alright by Wednesday. Toby is making some serious improvements and Alex smoked us in our little mini comp.

I'm looking forward for a full crew session again! Aaron and I went to Alex's after the session because we weren't done shredding yet and found a really effective way to improve on tilt-less skills, hopefully we can do that again. It was kinda like a rip and run style thing and it's tons of fun.

I'm still working on my foundation skills but hopefully we will all be in good shape by the time spring break rolls around for CA. Oh, we also found a great shred area by Cold Stone, perhaps we can shoot some footage for a new Eugene video there?

Sorry man I'll try to be more reliable but I've been sick like 3 times in a row in the last month. I should be there Saturdays more consistently. And one day when I get a working car I'll be there Wednesdays again.

Rev-Up>Phoenix is super styley Aaron!

Think you can repeat it?

OMG Casey what a picture man!!! Cool session guys.

Maraxus · Post by **Maraxus** » 23 Jan 2008 21:33

Maybe, I'll try.

Todays session was the best one this winter. Everyone showed up but James and we had a nice bunch of competitions that Eddy walked away victorious at. I almost had flurry a few times, and Im starting to zoom np again. I'll post footage this spring, peace.

Great last session guys, lets keep it up.

Props all around to Alex who beat Eddie out on two consecutive Horse games, even with a handicap!

Nothing new for me but bubba beater > eggbeater barefoot. That was sweet.

Hahah

Nice, that was the best of times....

Anyway, great session today because James showed up for the first time in three weeks. Alex and myself both hit some new stuff today, which was awesome. In fact, I may have hit my best sick three ever too! Alpine Blurry Whirl > Ripwalk > Superfly. Just a fun day with a lot of good stuff, hopefully we'll get footage out soon. Zeb I need my tapes back!

Today was the first outdoor footbag sessions since November.

Alex, Shawnell, James, and myself attended and everyone did something new. Alex is getting awesome, hitting all sorts of new threes and fours. Some of his moves included spinning clipper, ducking clipper, ripwalk, whirl, toe whirl, paradox whirl, butterfly > ss butterfly bsos, and osis > infinity. Shawnell, only one and a half months after getting footbag shoes is hitting up to nine clippers, eight alternating clippers, swirl, clean ducks, spinning toe stalls, osis x 3, infinity > osis > infinity, and osis > ss butterfly!

James has been showing up to sessions on saturdays, which is nice because its good to have someone push me as hard as he does again. We both hit long shuffle strings and easy stepping ducking today. What's more, James is finally playing in the quantums he bought in seattle. He says he likes them a lot but require even more breaking in.

New stuff for me:
Paradox tapping barfly
Ducking Scorpions Tail
Blurry Whirl > Blazing Butterfly
Blurry Whirl > Blurry Whirl > Blurriest
Blurry Whirl > Spn Whirl > Gyro Mirage
Flurry
Blizzard > Flail BSOS
SpikeHammer > Pheonix
Fog > Blackula
Pixie Down, Pixie Paradon, and Blurriest all in the same run

Losing twenty lbs for a bodybuilding comp seems to help a lot.

Dudes, I'm sore. Ouch. However, the session is on Wednesday and I'm totally excited for it! Aaron is teaching a footbag class at LCC the day after the session on Feb. 14th. What a Valentine's Day gift...to the WORLD! Aaron bought 8 new sandmans for the beginners, which was my first footbag, and I'm sure the class will go fabulous.

My new favorite move is Swirl just because it's the sickest move I've got and I can't wait to improve it on both sides. I really want to learn Whirl and Illusion. Doing two moves at one time is hard for me. Stepping is hard also but I've done that a few times.

Alex is so GOOD and it's good to see that he's improving so quickly! I'm so pumped for Portland I know we all will do fantastical.

I changed my avatar! Yay.

We all learned Dyno last session. Sweet. I love Dyno.

Maraxus · Post by **Maraxus** » 16 Feb 2008 16:39

Yeah, Dyno is a great move for anybody to dial down. I need to work on my consecutive dyno's. Anyway, new move for me last night at Alex's pad. Fairy Gyro Illusion, super clean and deep. Yay me, now it's time to make that illusion an eggbeater, woot.

2% Bodyfat to go. Bring it on. Hopefully shredding in P-Town will help me out with this.

Shawni · Post by **Shawni** » 17 Feb 2008 10:45

WAHOOO!! Portland here we come!! Omg I'm so excited. All of you that come you have to post and say what's up! ;P I can't wait to shred, taking Saturday off to rest almost killed me.
