Milan hit stepping whirling swirl > gauntlet and footed blurriest swirl > golden shower a bit ago. I'll try to remember some other crazy stuff. He also hit double spinning swirl.

Dave hit pdx whirling swirl > bedwetter > pixie same whirl [repeat]

Marcin hit Janiwalker > blurrier [repeat] to open a nice run, and also, PS whirl > whirlwind [repeat].

I think Norek hit blurry whirling swirl > whirling swirl [repeat], or dropped it.

It's harder to remember stuff than I thought it would be.
Milan hit pixie spinning clipper > blazing eggbeater, and a run with tatw one side and then blurry reaper bsos

All the above, of course, while I was working on stupid reports and lists and schedules and software and pools and staff and everything else, just 3 meters away -- I saw none of it. Argh.

This seems like an option. $10 a day, then take the BART.

I found a better option for about 7 bucks a day here: https://www.avistarparking.com

You will have to walk to a BART station after that. Seeing as I just moved here, I would double check this with someone before doing it.

Umm, yeah, no .. Not a good idea to walk from there to BART.

The right solution -- at any of the airport long-term parking vendors' lots -- is to take their free shuttle (they all have one) back to the airport, then look for the signs to our friend, AirBART, to take you from the airport main terminal to the Coliseum BART and then, from there, of course take BART to City Center.

I strongly recommend against schlepping your luggage across a couple of major intersections and over a bridge for the 5km to the BART station from the park & fly place.

Take advantage of the assumption that the park & fly places expect you to fly, so they give you a free ride to the airport where you then get a free ride to the BART, with almost no schlepping.

OK, finally, the much-anticipated but probably-nobody-even-really-cares full and complete, total event schedule for freestyle at the 2010 IFPA World Footbag Championships.

This is something we are putting in every player pack so that players can know (for the first time EVAR) players can know when they are actually competing well before the first day of competition!

For those of you who happen to be online and who are competing, or who are supporting someone competing, please feel free to use this schedule as it is not going to change at this point unless there is some major error, earthquake, or act of Satan that causes major disruption. That said......

You can see the full schedule and initial pools for all rounds/players in freestyle here:

Enjoy.

Yeah, really. I've never heard of lemon or fuzzy tricks! Haha

Kev is being facetious, because Erik is using nick names instead of the descriptive system to write out highlights.

Worlds is good times.

Sitting in a bar- Pacific Brewing Company. A microbrewery with free wifi. Also sports on TV, dinner, the works. My kind of establishment.

Some good circles today, one of the best was Jay Boychuk/Toni P./Wiktor (at times)/Lon Smith.

Also an awesome circle with some of the best female players- Tanja, Gosia, Taylor, Hania and then a couple of guys were in that circle now.

Circle contest begins tomorrow.

Nice, Pacifice brewing Co is one of the first turn key breweries in the area.
They feature their own beers, along side some of the west coasts finest brews. Nice food, and one of the few spots with shepherds pie.

Be sure to check out the Trappist around the corner from the hotel, a huge bottle selection and rare to the area beers on tap.

and also check out beer revolution down on third street.

Beer revolution has very small craft or smaller brewery stuff on tap, generally, hosts a meet the brewer night on wednesday, and have an enormous selection of bottles for sale, that you can take off site and enjoy elsewhere. One of Oakland's newest treasures, they opened in February, and are a very cool establishment.

The game ain't what it used to be, that's for sure.

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 02 Aug 2010 09:49

I was kind of hoping there would be more whirling swirl, eggbeater and barraging trick highlights. C'mon guys, enough with this creativity crap and start hitting more of these THREE concepts!

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 02 Aug 2010 11:07

Why don't you run away from home and join the circus, Jorden
