Boise Curb Cup

So, I think that the Montana Freestyle Jam has a little competition in the realm of outdoor mass talent shows. Last week Jim, Sunny, Zeb and I participated in the Boise Curb Cup; demonstrating footbag, fire poi, juggling and fire footbag. I though we did pretty well, but turns out we didn't even place in the top 25(of 139 acts). The crowd was estimated at 30,000 people in the downtown area. It was fun, but 2hr. 30 min of shred-your-hardest took its toll and my feel felt like lead for the last hour. Jim burned his feet after the 5th or so fire footbag demonstration. It's worth checking out at boisecurbcup (dot) com, but the site doesn't reveal as much as it could about the event. Some Karate team won first place, but the website hasn't been updated with results yet.

As far as Riley Stark is concerned, I have 19 days of trail work left in Idaho. Besides this one, I get one more weekend off for the Hyde Park Street Fair/Idaho Footbag Jam. It would be great if Missoula was able to make it down to represent. On the 4th of next month, I'll be taking off for a 6 week train/walking tour of Southern Europe. I'll be kickin' it with Flavio for a day or two up in Switzerland. I can't wait. See you at the Idaho Jam!

Final shred with Flavio

Played Footbag today at Out to lunch down at Caras Park with Flavio for his last session in Missoula. Although it was very hot and we were very tired from our Yellowstone trip, it was still a pretty good session. Beautiful sunny day. We filmed several of our runs fro two angles with two HD cameras. Can't wait to see how that turns out. Here's some personal shred highlights for me:Gyro Rake BSOS & Spinning Rake BSOS, same stringDouble spinning IsisPdx TorquePixie Symple Rev Swirl11 contact spinning run[]

This and that

So I'm waiting for my plane right now. I'm still in El Paso, TX at my sister's house, but today is the day that I return Boise concluding my 2 month trip south. I took plenty of pictures while in The Southwest and Latin America. Most of y'all have probably already seen some of the pictures that I've taken, but if not then here's the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/oregonash/Winter2009?feat=directlink
It was a good trip, but I'm ready to settle down for a while before I start work for the Forest Service again.

On a side note, I just purchased a shiny new pair of Rod Laver tennis shoes. I had to ditch my old Quantum footbag shoes for lack of space in my luggage. I had a hard time deciding to buy Lavers and not Quantums as my next footbag shoes, but my decision came down to this: Lavers are cheaper and I can use them for non-footbag purposes. You know I want to support Planet Footbag and their distributors, but if Quantums were cheaper and more durable I would have an easier time doing so.
Either way, I haven't had a serious footbag session in about 2 months. I can't wait to get back to Boise and have a session with Zeb, Jim, Daryl and whoever else feels like kickin' it a little bit. I hope to make it up to Missoula in a few weeks too, but not having my own car anymore makes it a little more difficult. I might have to Greyhound it up there and yellow bike around town. Anyone have a few days of couch space for a poor traveler? Maybe I'll see y'all soon.

Nice moves in the videos, btw Kevin.
