I played hack yesterday on my back porch. It was fun because I played to KORN but other than that it wasn't very significant.

PROMOTION is looking good. I received a very inspiring email from Chris Miller.

I've got a plan now and will be emailing a list of people who emailed me at lonsmithicus@yahoo.com because they were interested in becoming a part of my get sponsored 2006 campaign. You should email me too.

:idea: I need addresses of rich companies that carry products that could be sold at a skate shop. Then I'll co-ordinate a massive mailing of all the companies asking for money to make a 10 minute video promoting their products using the extreme sport of footbag to grab peoples attention and convince them they need the products to be able to do the things we're doing on the 10 minute video. :idea:

I think an epic Mirage Race Video through downtown of a big city is needed.

I played a game better than hack yesterday.
It was hack in a small unfurnished bedroom with a large blue beach ball type of ball. You know those kinds in the big bins in the big stores. Kinda like a thick balloon.

Anyhow, there was crazy wall bouncing and ceiling bouncing and everything. CONSTANT ACTION. We got 2 full hacks but never 3. 3-7 people. Lots of face hits but it doesn't hurt too much.

Anyhow, I might just bring this to the next event.

I'll buy a video camera off someone if they want to sell me one that's easy to use and between $50 and $200.

I also, got to shred with Randy Magliocca and he's still so good!

I should be on modified more often.

I've gone to LA for auditions for America's Got Talent.

They called me back and flew me down to Hollywood for 7 days all expenses paid.

The Hollywood scene is funny.

Fun trip, many excellent talents.

I quit my job at the Gym and am planning an awesome summer.

I have June free for Footbag events and Summer Fun.

Can't wait for Santa Cruz.

BLACKBERRY SEASON HAS BEGUN.

I wasn't on the TV Show America's Got Talent(Yet)

Shred is good.

I'm excited about the rest of summer and the US Open.

I finally hit Spinning Symple Blender on Both Sides?

Do you know when you will be on? Is it a sure thing that you will be shown?

I was watching America's Got Talent last night and kept on shouting "LON SMITH!" at Regis during every break when he was announcing names. I definitely want to see your shred on TV. :o

Yeah, Round House Brandy in the Eye. Good Call. I can't stand her. She barely spoke on most the acts. But on the show she talked plenty. It's like they only put the acts on that she responded to because otherwise it would have looked like she was too silent of a judge.

Plus she looks like an alien dressed up in a hot girl suit or something.

I'm working on a new shred 30.

But I can't decide. I just didn't want to waste the Vasek Combo. I wasn't even using it. Props if you know what I'm talking about with "Vasek Combo".

I'm also thinking of a kinda different approach to Routines.

All right. Time to get serious.

I played twice today. I've started doing pushups again.

I'm really motivated to blow people away at the next chance I get.

I've been cooking all my own meals for about 5 days and am being as responsible as I can be.

I need to sell shoes. Please recommend me whenever possible.

I hit nothing epic today but maybe I will tomorrow.

Tuesday, HUGE HIKE.

I didn't play for long but I hit a bunch of whirrs

I hit vortex, whirling swirl, vortex, whirr.
