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
and I was hitting some SWEET runs
