shredded yesterday at the free bbq at uni bar
it was sweet
lots of people were like and I was hitting some SWEET runs
Josh is starting to get into footbag now as well he was hitting around the world and coming close to pixie and mirage
this girl who lives on my friends floor was all wow you're so good at this etc....and then I did a run that phoenix and all this other stuff in it
then we set up a game of four square with me, Josh, Ben and this girl Kate
we needed some chalk, so Josh went to the pool table and was like "can I borrow this for a moment" and thne ran off with it, and we drew up our squares.
We were playing in the carpark, so people would keep driving through our game...we had some really awesome rallies, it was great.
Someone parked in our spot for ages, so we stopped four square-ing and I hit this run that was probably 30-40 contacts, and all these dudes I knew were walking by, fresh from a dodgeball victory and they were just like....wow Dan you're so great, you're my hero

I haven't been kicking a whole lot of lately. Went to Sydney on the weekend. It was alright. Didn't take my lavers or anything, but had some hackyslack action whilst waiting for archenemy...I did some tricks in my other shoes which I found incredibly heavy and do kick in...but by the time the show started I had ducking osis, ducking butterfly, dimwalk and some other stuff dialed.
Will probably kick in a little while.
grrr I wish this Nestle money would hurry up and come. I have all these huge bills and no $$$$$ to pay them

I think I will not kick today
I'm felling very sore
I had two kicks yesterday, both of which I felt I was in very very very poor form which made a sad Dan
the night before was very eventful. It included karaoke, four square (me winning, which is quite odd), and walking over 10k's back home
I worked last night, packing shelves at Coles, it was incredibly crap. But hey, a bit of $$$ towards mr electricity bill is always good.
yeah I'm hurting. no good. I think I'll have a kick tomorrow maybe. I wonder when/if ever I will get my bag from Jeremy. I'm getting so tired of my current bag, it really is a POS. no good. I think the fact I have been kicking with good bags recently has made it hard for me to adjust to my bag, which is both bigger and lighter. urgh.

blah blah
had a little kick today, but it was too hot and glary, so I went back inside. Didn't hit anything impressive. More thought about what I can hit at nationals/what song I should use
I had a few ideas but not particularly sure about anything
Sydney FC demo was on Sunday. Boy....it was so damn hot. Getting paid to kick out the front of an a-league match was pretty damn sweet, and they gave us heaps of water...very rockstar.
But unfortunately we missed a majority of the game, I think I probably got to see probably 25 mins of the game, although it was highly entertaining, I sat with my friend Josh in "the Den" which is where all the qld roar fans were sitting, even though they lost, it was pretty funny
but yeah we had to carry some crap mats onto the field, so I got to go on the field and had an access all areas pass, I can't see why we couldn't keep them, it's not like you would ever be able to use them again.
umm Ken and Jeremy seemed to get a pretty good crowd response from their demo, I wasn't paying much attention to the actual runs, more how the crowd was looking....a friend sent me a message and said, hey Jeremy is on tv, so that's pretty cool that footbag got some good tv exposure
we met the Sydney FC mascot, who we may get some sweet hookups to do demos with the Razorbacks, who are a poorly performing basketball team...we should look into the kings, they are winning the comp...hrrrmm.
oh yeah and we got free sandwiches.
But overall it was a pretty good, mainly HOT day. Glad of all the water.
I'l lbe even more glad when I get the $$$$$$
working tonight. More $$ good good

today I played the worst I have played in a LONG time
not good considering the aussies are on in just over a month. fark.
Hopefully tomorrow I play better.
But anyway, I was playing badly, so I started fucking round with a skipping rope, and found that I actually had some skills at that. We found it in the garage yesterday, and were total n00bs, but today, oh I had all the moves....forwards, backwards...crossovers (back and forwards) doubles. fuck yeah go me. MAde up for my complete lack of footbag skills
went for a roll afterwards, had a reasonable level of skill...jsut wanted to roll around really quickly mainly. My skates still hurt my feet.
Going to shitney again on the weekend
so sick of sitting on the frickin' bus (3 hours). But got a demo on Monday, and might end up working
my first weekend spent back in Canberra in about 2 months began with lots of drama. And then the rest of it was spent...mainly in front of the computer. Fucking lame. And I spent heaps of money which made me sad
I watched 40 year old virgin tonight. Fucken funny stuff
enough of my rambling for the moment
I hope I shred somewhat decently tomorrow

we did a demo today, in Narellan
TOUGH crowd. They weren't even like this for double around the world...it was more of a yeah, whatevs type response
we had two demos
and on being introduced for the second time it seemed like the crowd though to themselves, great HERE WE FUCKING GO, again.
but anyway, on my own personal game I was pretty happy, I really didn't drop it much, and in the final part of the demo we just did one reasonably big trick each and I managed to hit both of mine, and then we all did a syncronised paradon, which (suprisinlgly) I also hit
also hit some nice runs which is a good sign for nationals
shredded in Martin Place friday to prepare for the demo, and in the last few weeks I've hit a couple of moves that for some reason I've never hit before such as smear bsos, eggbeater, and got a new osis record....of 7. Which is really bad, since my strong osis is REALLY good, yet my weak is REALLY bad...kinda like a lot of my game.
I can't wait til Melbourne.
the rest of the weekend mainly consisted of alcohol, girls, loud music and sleeping in the daytime.
so from now, I go back to Canberra tomorrow
back to Syd on Sunday. Going home for Christmas probably Tues, then catching the train! to QLD....it's gonna be a LONG journey/one big party
byron for new years
Evergreen Terrace Bris/Syd/Canberra/Melbourne
Aussies!
FUN TIMES

kicked at North Sydney with Dyalan and Guido on Monday evening
I was playing fairly well
hit fairly legover. But the way I hit it is more like a toe same eggbeater, which is kind of weird, but hey...it's a new 3 to put in my runs.
I was hitting some good long runs, which was nice. I hit pdx torque. But followed it up with....toe kick. Yeah, big time
hmmm also hit op toe torque, then tried it from the same toe, and just thought...what the fuck.
I'm in Bega at the moment, til Christmas
then head to Qld on Boxing Day.
Byron for NYE
more QLD
Sydney for a bit
Canberra for 2 days
Melbourne for the aussies

I'm back at home in Bega for Christmas....usually I don't enjoy these adventures....but Grandma and Grandpa are down as well, and I'm just generally enjoying life at the moment
but anyway.
been kicking everyday
I have new shorts. They're pretty sweet. Very damn short...show off some awesome white action going down.
I have a fair bit of my run sorted out
my sick 3, not so sure. I have a safety down...but what I was planning on hitting (terrage>paradon>diving osis), i've only hit once..ever...and that's not consistent at all. So, I'll have to change it to something else. Probably something with a torque in it.
Christmas tomorrow
have a good one.
leave for QLD the day after
fun times
but anyway.

aussies
so.
last time I posted in this was Christmas
might as well write about the aussies
everyone else had such an awesome time. which makes me wish I could've afforded to stay at the hostel.
but anyway
there were some things that made my trip really shit
not having my own bag
barely having any money
not knowing Melbourne particularly well
losing money at the casino on day 1
missing out on shreds cos I was too lazy/tired
not going out barely at all
playing pretty average
sleeping on a sofa with a bar in the back
having to put up with my friend's girlfriend
good things
meeting some sweet dudes....mainly the NZ guys, I'd met nearly everyone else before....and general hanging out was fun.
hitting occasional good runs
doing my routine to Looks Like yoda by Parkway Drive...that was sweet
3rd in shred battles
barbeques
free souvenir tram
but anyway, I only managed to get 4 shreds in while I was in melbs
first was fed square on the friday, played reasonably well, hit torque bsos for the first time ever. Don't remember much else...nic from NZ said I had a cool style and a lot of people said I'd improved since last year so I was all like
titles
didn't really kick a huge amount this day...jsut really warmed up for the events, went in the events, didn't do particularly well. Phil was fucking awesome on the day.
played squash. Hagesy owns at squash. I played ok, I used to play back in the day but hadn't played in ages....and I was well tired. So we walked into the city to go out, but by the time we got there, I was just like.....nup, I've had enough...bedtime
day after...st kilda
had the ausfootbag AGM....it was quite a long meeting, so it was good to shred afterwards....hit my best run of the week on that day...it included rev swirl bsos, whirl bsos, smear bsos and some other cool stuff, was something like 25 contacts of strong tiltless, with guiltless sections
next day I went for a skate, but felt terrible, my neck was really sore....I went to look to see if anyone was shredding, but couldn't see anybody...but apparently there were....I was too sore anyway
day after was back to MSAC couldn't play very long cos everything just started to hurt and had to go meet a friend in the city for a night out, which was right up there at the top of the "shit nights out" list...but I started fairly well...I hit some stuff like dimwalk> rev swirl>diving osis but then I got REALLY sore and was struggling to walk...I wanted to go swim, but it was far too expensive.
So anyway, the last day someone was like "we're gonna all leave early and shred at the airport"...my flight wasn't til 6 so I thought......"fuck that". not realising that, hey, they're probably playing at Fed square...I ended up going to the airport at about 2 jsut to check it out, but just hung out....saw jeremy, hagesy and jesse but they were just leaving.
so anyway, I got back from Melbourne and went to this fairly crap show with my girlfriend....it was pretty well a completely different lineup/starting time/price to what was advertised.
but anyhow....I still don't have a bag. All I have at the moment is a milo bag...at least it's the cricket ball shaped one, so it's round.
I'm going to get a new one when I have some spare $$$$
also thinking I might buy some lotus/ace bags and sell them to people who enquire about footbag...could make a little extra cash and even start a scene here in the ACT. uni goes back next month....towards the end of last year we had so many awesome games of four square, hopefully that will carry on.
I'm going to this festival called Overcranked in Brisbane.......should be fun times. Bought my ticket today. going home for the weekend for a 21st of a guy I haven't seen in quite some time...hopefully that's pretty fun.
well this post is pretty long, I'm pretty sure no one will read it to the end.
Even though I didn't have a great time, there were definitely some good times had, and I look forward to next years champs.
going to see Narnia tonight with Jess....I hope that's good

first was fed square on the friday, played reasonably well, hit torque bsos for the first time ever. Don't remember much else...nic from NZ said I had a cool style and a lot of people said I'd improved since last year so I was all like
titles
didn't really kick a huge amount this day...jsut really warmed up for the events, went in the events, didn't do particularly well. Phil was fucking awesome on the day.
played squash. Hagesy owns at squash. I played ok, I used to play back in the day but hadn't played in ages....and I was well tired. So we walked into the city to go out, but by the time we got there, I was just like.....nup, I've had enough...bedtime
day after...st kilda
had the ausfootbag AGM....it was quite a long meeting, so it was good to shred afterwards....hit my best run of the week on that day...it included rev swirl bsos, whirl bsos, smear bsos and some other cool stuff, was something like 25 contacts of strong tiltless, with guiltless sections
next day I went for a skate, but felt terrible, my neck was really sore....I went to look to see if anyone was shredding, but couldn't see anybody...but apparently there were....I was too sore anyway
day after was back to MSAC couldn't play very long cos everything just started to hurt and had to go meet a friend in the city for a night out, which was right up there at the top of the "shit nights out" list...but I started fairly well...I hit some stuff like dimwalk> rev swirl>diving osis but then I got REALLY sore and was struggling to walk...I wanted to go swim, but it was far too expensive.
So anyway, the last day someone was like "we're gonna all leave early and shred at the airport"...my flight wasn't til 6 so I thought......"fuck that". not realising that, hey, they're probably playing at Fed square...I ended up going to the airport at about 2 jsut to check it out, but just hung out....saw jeremy, hagesy and jesse but they were just leaving.
so anyway, I got back from Melbourne and went to this fairly crap show with my girlfriend....it was pretty well a completely different lineup/starting time/price to what was advertised.
but anyhow....I still don't have a bag. All I have at the moment is a milo bag...at least it's the cricket ball shaped one, so it's round.
I'm going to get a new one when I have some spare $$$$
also thinking I might buy some lotus/ace bags and sell them to people who enquire about footbag...could make a little extra cash and even start a scene here in the ACT. uni goes back next month....towards the end of last year we had so many awesome games of four square, hopefully that will carry on.
I'm going to this festival called Overcranked in Brisbane.......should be fun times. Bought my ticket today. going home for the weekend for a 21st of a guy I haven't seen in quite some time...hopefully that's pretty fun.
well this post is pretty long, I'm pretty sure no one will read it to the end.
Even though I didn't have a great time, there were definitely some good times had, and I look forward to next years champs.
going to see Narnia tonight with Jess....I hope that's good

kicked today
probably for about 40 mins
decided to ditch the milo bag for an OLD school hotsac sand bag....felt I was playing better because of it, still felt that I really need a new bag.
so I was just trying to improve my tiltless game, and my flipside.
was doing a little drill, that due to my bad flipside was incredibly frustrating
it was just atw (in)> atw (out) then pixie over to the other foot and the same thing on the other side...this took me a long time which is kinda worrying
hit phoenix>torque........would've made a good sick 3 if I hit anything other than what I hit (toe stall)........still makes the same amount of adds of my sick 3 in melbourne.
But anyway, I hit some good long runs, longer than I've been hitting lately, so that was good.
going to this australia day celebration tonight (even though it's aus day tomorrow) and (drunk) punk in the park tomorrow...will try and kick a bit at both, hopefully get some people interested. or something. impress them. or just get drunk...
