Good stuff! I feel like your shred spot has been cleaned or something?

Hmm...maybe her name is an anagram of Japan. If so, I bet Ken could crack the code.

Anyway, congrats! Let's shred soon.

Turned 35 on sunday, and during the week I made a goal to hit pdx drifter-pdx torque rpt.

This was something that I got motivated from TJ in Japan, I saw him do it and I tought I would never be able to do such a drill. So I've started working on my pdx torques a bit since then and voila! Got it on my birthday

Awesome! I hope you liked your present; it was months in the making. :)

To keep pushing, my max is p. drifter x5 > p. torque > rpt. I want the p drifter x10 but haven't gotten there yet.

Congrats brah, and Happy Birthday!

oh blurry drifter bsos, how much did I miss you, first time in 5 years today?

I'm motivated to improve many concepts and I seem to be able to do it. Going for rubberman these days, can get the first 3 contacts from each side here and there, just hard to link them after.

Also working on spin osis x10, got 4 or 5 today, harder then I tougth it would be, once I succeed, I will go for mobius-mobius!

lol repeat that combo would take so much more skills, just vertigo-mobius itself sounds close to impossible... for now!

today I got blurry whirl- far rev swirl bsos, not sure if I have before, I know I footed it before. working that flip step!

nothing amazing lately, some good runs and some bad runs

been working mostly on practicing my east coast routine, on a bad day I still manage 2 drops average, on a good day dropless-1 drops

today was a bad day :P

new guy showed up on a session last week, he hit legover atw mirage clipper and butterfly all both sides, I let him use my quantum 1's for now, almost had a 2nd session with him today but he had other plans, hopes he sticks to it he's pretty good!

this weekend going to toronto for visiting, gonna have a sess with the crew as well, pretty stocked!

had a lot of fun yesterday playing with the toronto crew!

Mike had some long runs, Alex got so good over the last year, Erik just amazes you so many times, and Cassy seems to be playing at her best I beleive.

It felt so good to play in a circle, this does not happen too often at home. Alex said my mom asked them to play with me and paid them because I have no friends, good times :D

on my side I've hit some new stuff : ripped warrior- infinityrevswirl- spin drop, vortex-vertigo midstring, footed void-vertigo, and gyro symple rev swirl-symple rev swirl-rpt

we went for dinner in korea town after it was so good, and the desert place Erik suggested was just amazing hmmmmm!
