Michigan Tricking?

[Wasted_Savior]

I'm getting my bitchy wisdom tooth pulled Wednesday afternoon. IT'LL BE FUN.

I cut a hole in my swollen gum that was bloated on top of the tooth and drained all the blood, fluids and miniscule pieces of food out of it. Now...concentrate on that hard and have a good day LOLipop!

i had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out, it was great fun! make them knock you out... DO IT! i dont even remember the car ride home it was such a good dream.. too bad i can't remember the dream either.. oh well school calls.. 3 more days till spring break.. hoorah

[Swartz]

This weather guys! It's tricking friendly! When are we going to hit up the park? haha. I will be soon myself.

[Rahf]

Still snow here.. I envy you guys. Still loving this thread, been coming back to it constantly haha!

[Swartz]

Yay we have a fan!

Oh yeah you're in Sweden, well that's a bummer. When do you usually get nice weather there?

[short gorilla]

I went on a couple walks recently and found some good patches of grass. Yay! We'll definitely be hitting up some parks and beaches soon.

Oh, and by the way, my wife had six or seven wisdom teeth pulled (she's a mutant), so consider yourself fortunate. For her they weren't all full sized teeth, but still, they had to carve the suckers out. It was fun. Enjoy!

[Swartz]

What? Normally there's like maybe 4, 2 on the top, 2 on the bottom. I mean I know it's possible to get even more behind those third molars but...that doesn't happen to often. That's crazy.

[short gorilla]

She had something like three on top and four on the bottom. But three of them were half sized.

[Swartz]

Wait who are you? Okay that guy has great tumbling but what do you mean we "have" him? Does he reside in Michigan again or something? I just don't get your post haha.

Yeah. Like the sampler though.

[short gorilla]

Yeah, cool vid dude. Are you in Michigan, I presume?

[Swartz]

No short, he's posted a vid of someone else, not himself unless he likes referring to himself in the third person.

[Rahf]

Yay we have a fan!

Oh yeah you're in Sweden, well that's a bummer. When do you usually get nice weather there?

Well it's T-shirt weather now at +5 Celsius (roughly 40 F) with alot of sun finally showing it's lovely face. The snow is still pretty thick in its places though which is a bummer. Although I always have my MA gym where I have access to mats (YAY!). The snow should be gone at about mid/late-April. And after that it's a matter of waiting for everything to dry up since the spring floods will start to show themselves as well.

I demand sampler from the Michigan people!

[short gorilla]

I demand sampler from the Michigan people!

Not until later this summer at least. We don't have any good footage and I suck.

[Swartz]

I'm the worst though!

[short gorilla]

Nu-uh! I'm the worstest. I'm a lot more worser than you.

[Violent Cobra]

shocker333 is from michigan
next year i come to usa

[Swartz]

Any idea what part of Michigan? Because that makes a big difference as to whether or not we'd meet him haha

[Rahf]

Goddamn, I have to pull my butt over to the US sometime soon. Need to improve my tricking first though.

[Zelgaddis]

Holy goddamn Michigan people, there's a few of you. I'm from around the Fenton/Flint area! Id love to come meet up with you guys and trick some time, tho Im still nub.

[Swartz]

Yeah I think I talked to you one Zelgaddis when we were trying to plan that whole Michigan gathering that failed miserably because Nerus didn't follow through with anything.

Ummm, I guess come to GR sometime? haha.

Someday I'll host a real MI Gathering myself, I know of a gym here that I can rent out, so eh...it'll be cool...and stuff. But yeah you can drop by anytime. Our gym session is usually 1-3 on Saturday. Of course sessions outside are available anytime too. There's a good large park near where I live.

[short gorilla]

I found a good gym in Kalamazoo I'm going to start going to. I have to grind and level up so that I can equip my Cape of the Bird Maiden with +14 to Tricking Spells. They have an adult gymnastics class I'm going to check out, but no open gym time right now.

[Swartz]

Okay so then someone would be teaching you gymnastics skills rather than you being able to really "trick." That's what you're getting into, right?

[short gorilla]

No, Mr. I'm King Shit, I just plan on taking a class there for a while to learn some of the basic flips a little better, since it will be extra practice. I mean, I'll do anything to get in extra practice and develope my skills more. I figure a month or two of these classes and I'll be all set.

[Swartz]

Haha why are you saying "no" as if I was incorrect? You just described what I said. Not to mention I said nothing of duration. Therefore I was right...BIATCH.

[Wasted_Savior]

during the week he'll take gymnastics classes, and weekends he'll trick with us

Okay so then someone would be teaching you gymnastics skills rather than you being able to really "trick." That's what you're getting into, right?

not rather, he'll be doing both.. so im right, now everyone stfu so i can enjoy this moment!!

[Swartz]

No you guys just misunderstood what I said, I didn't say he was purely taking gymnastics classes versus tricking, I meant during his time there at that gym he'd be taking classes, not actually tricking. Obviously he'll still be tricking outside that class time, haha.

I was right from the beginning! *is t3h winner*

[Wasted_Savior]

No you guys just misunderstood what I said, I didn't say he was purely taking gymnastics classes versus tricking, I meant during his time there at that gym he'd be taking classes, not actually tricking. Obviously he'll still be tricking outside that class time, haha.

I was right from the beginning! *is t3h winner*

my dad thinks your gay ~is t3h winner~ hahaha

[Swartz]

NOT REALLY.

[Wasted_Savior]

so? :eh:

[Swartz]

Okay.

[short gorilla]

Oh, ok, then yeah, Swartz was right. I misread what Mr. I'm King Shit said. Whoops. It's not like it matters what he said though, because Pete's dad says you're gay and I don't take crap from gay people.

[Swartz]

!! =O

[short gorilla]

I kid, I kid.

See you tomorrows.

[Swartz]

WE GOT SERVED

Haha apparently you went there short and they were like "bitch gtfo we're closed." I mean I assume it was you and not Pete, but I don't know. When I got there she was like yeah your friend was here too.

CLOSED FOR SPRING BREAK. GIVE ME A F-WORD ING BREAK. It should be like the complete opposite. Screw them. At least Aerials & Baranis has special open gym sessions BECAUSE of Spring Break, April 2nd and 4th if either of you are still interested, I'm going to try for both myself. They're both 1-3pm.

I was debating going to the park instead since it's nice enough out but I think I'll go lift and just save the rest of my body for the next couple days until these open gym sessions at A&B.

Oh and Static-X album is out the 3rd. Woooo

[short gorilla]

That is a poorly run establishment.

[Swartz]

I agree it's stupid they don't have open gym on Spring Break but it's not poorly run. It's not like they should call US when it's closed. You didn't call BIATCH!

[short gorilla]

I didn't call because 1) Who the hell knew it was spring break up there 2) last time I called they hung up on me twice 3) they should put up a sign that says "No open gym next week" 4) they should call us.

[Rahf]

How long does spring break last for? 1 week or 2 weeks? What is the longest running break that you guys have when in school?

[Wasted_Savior]

for me its a 10 day spring break

[Swartz]

I didn't call because 1) Who the hell knew it was spring break up there 2) last time I called they hung up on me twice 3) they should put up a sign that says "No open gym next week" 4) they should call us.

I disagree with all of those except the the third one.

I've been calling them pretty much every week for the most part (except this last time and a couple other times in the past). I was never hung up on, that was a rare circumstance that you experienced. It's not their responsibility to tell us when their spring break is, and even so that wouldn't be a clue that open gym was cancelled unless they announced it (#3).

And 4th, they shouldn't call us. Imagine how many random people they'd be calling based on past phone numbers written down there. That's not their responsibility. Half those calls would probably be a waste anyway. People might not have even had plans to come, etc. It's our responsibility to call, not them. That'd be like if schools calls all their students to let them know they were closed. That's ridiculous. I have a hard time believing you're serious about #4, but if you are, SHADDAPA YOUR MAOTH, haha

[Wasted_Savior]

hmm, on their website do they have a subscription? because although calling everyone would be unrealistic.. if people signed up sending out a news letter wouldn't be too much to ask for..

[Swartz]

No. http://www.gymnastiksunlimited.com/

The best they have is a scheduled events page showing events for each month. This may be useful if they update it like they should when a certain event is going on, like a competition or something but it doesn't seem to take in account stuff like spring break? Yeah it's basically useless.

Also, taking 1 minute to call them isn't exactly a hard task for us. Like I said, short had a bad experience by not getting a reply last time he called but that was just him that once. I never had a problem. I either get someone on the phone (a lot more recently) or I get a automatic message they prerecord each weeking saying whether or not open gym will be going on among other things.

It's not hard, and it seems like frustration, mostly from short (for good reason) is getting the better of us. This last time is a prime example of it being mostly our fault.

I've learned not to rely on the establishments themselves for announcing info on this stuff. You either ask the staff themselves in person about future dates or call them that day before you leave. Again...not hard. I've been messing with plenty of open gyms for the last 4 years guys. This is way you gotta do it. If we want open gym we just take responsibility for finding out if they're open each week.

This is a debate over convenience here guys. We're talking about a quick chat with staff after each gym session or a 1 minute call before we leave. Big deal, haha

[short gorilla]

The hell with you. That's one minute of my life that I don't want to waste on the phone. ...Dad.

[Swartz]

ho ho

[short gorilla]

Get on the aim you biznitch. Then we'll see what's what.

[Rahf]

Longest running school break in Sweden: 70 day summer holidays.

You can imagine the amount of longing people have for that..

[Swartz]

Obviously I didn't hit up that first open gym that took place today. Okay it's not obvious but I didn't go! Way too damn sore from that workout I did on Sat. Uh...I should be fine for the Wednesday one, so hot damn I'll be there and not be square and gay and stuff. I know you're out short and Pete it's up to you if you want to be there, the main site has a place to print out a wavier and whatnot, here's the link: http://www.abgym.net/forms.php

I don't care either way if anybody is there with me, I figure we'd all be seeing each other this Sat anyway (assuming it's not cancelled), so uh...yeah!

Also, Static-X album out tomorrow holy crap I'm stoked.

http://www.static-x.com/sites/static-x.com/files/album_art/img-albumcannibal.jpg

[short gorilla]

...............................I think I can make it on Wednesday.

Let me take a look at the directions to get there, and I'll go over the time it'll take to get there, but I might just be able to squeeze it in.

Edit: Fuck. What's their address? I can't find it. Give me their address and I'll get directions and then I'll prolly go.

[Swartz]

Dude their address is right on the page of the link I just put up in my last post haha.

[short gorilla]

Bah.... I'm so lame. Sorry, my bad.

[Swartz]

I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL!

EDIT: I just realized this is the 300th post in this thread, and my message happened to fit it perfectly haha.

[Rahf]

I don't have access to plyo so I use my dojo.. Does that make me cool? Haha jeez I sound like a retarded kid.

How are things for the Michigan crew?

[Flowers]

i live in northern Indiana. haha apparently im near by.

[Swartz]

Yeah I've known where you're located forever now Towels. I try not to think about it.

[Swartz]

Also that was a nice little session I had by myself today. I'll try to be good enough for Sat too. I'm not sure yet how sore I'll be. Not too bad...I think.

[short gorilla]

I was going to come, but then for some reason I didn't wake up until 2:30. I missed class and everything. I'm hella pissed. Now it's 2:30 am and I'm still awake. I'll see you Saturday though. Fuck, I'm so pissed. Today would have rocked. Dammit all to hell.

[Swartz]

Eh, sounds like it would have been tight fittin' in. If it makes you feel any better I was swarmed with kids and that made it quite the hassle, haha. Didn't miss much. Umm, well Pete didn't make it either, other stuff. I wasn't expecting you guys or anything, it was just if you wanted that's where I'll be kind of thing. Doesn't matter though. Assuming Spring Break is over by Saturday I'll see ya guys at G.U.? Lalalalala

[short gorilla]

Oh, dude, seriously, I am so fucking coming on Saturday. I'm so pissed off right now that the only thing that can alleviate my fury is flips and kicks. I just got my car fixed too, so it will be a smooth ride up and back. Rock and roll.

[Swartz]

Don't be mad, get GLAD!

[short gorilla]

*Punches Swartz in the face*

Dude, I have a job interview tomorrow. NEW JOB BITCHES!!!

[Swartz]

Yeah where?

[short gorilla]

Fed Ex. Yay! It's hard manual labor, but good exercise. That's actually what they call the job, paid exercise. It's grunt work, loading and unloading trucks, but it's decent pay and the hours kick ass. It will never get in the way of anything, ever. Except raids late night on WoW.

[Swartz]

What kind of pay and hours? *kinda interested*

[short gorilla]

They pay me in bananas. I live in a cage. I miss hygeine.

[short gorilla]

Hey girls, I'll be calling G.U. in the morning. I'll call you guys if they're closed. Thus if I do not call you, they are open. Kapiche?

[Wasted_Savior]

Pshaw - i need open gym!! RAAAAGGGHHH... oh well maybe its a good thing there was no gym today.. im still sick but id probably try to go anyways then id puke on the floor and they'd kick my ass..

[Swartz]

What? You're sick too? What rubbish. Also I was hoping for a serious answer there short, as in I actually am curious to know haha

Also...EPSOM SALT!

[short gorilla]

I'll tell you later in person, Swartz.

I'm calling G.U. on Monday to see if they still have open gym all week. If they do I'll call you guys to see if we can meet some time.

[Swartz]

Why does it matter in person? You could just PM if you don't want to post it here for some reason. Ah whatever.

And yeah you do that, I could call but if you plan to anyway I won't bother.

[short gorilla]

You know what would be cool? Going on an actual camping trip to trick all weekend some time. Pete prolly couldn't go until he got emancipated, but still.

[Swartz]

We'd be dead after one session or two and that'd be it, haha. That kinda thing makes more sense for a larger group.

[Wasted_Savior]

we'lll folks - monday rolls around and i've got school.. cheers :eh:

[short gorilla]

Okay, women. I haven't called G.U. yet. I suck.

I'll call them tomorrow to see if they will be open gyming on Saturday. Then I'll notify you here.

I hope school is kicking your ass, Pete.

[Wasted_Savior]

I hope school is kicking your ass, Pete.

Never! i kick schools ass with my 3.9 GPA and "No Study" attitude! i snuck in the gymnastics area at my school during class and =] i want more.. Rrraaaagggghhhh

[short gorilla]

Awesomes. I'll's calls you's guys tomorrows.

[Swartz]

Why? plus comme, I'LL CALL YOU.

but not really.

I'm going to call long after you, in fact even you called me I'd call them anyway, and....

Anyways they should be open, and even if they aren't I'm breakin and tricking like an ASSHOLE really HARD.

[Rahf]

Why? plus comme, I'LL CALL YOU.

but not really.

I'm going to call long after you, in fact even you called me I'd call them anyway, and....

I just had a flash of Swartz ramming the door to some random gym with his shoulder. Followed by him proceeding inside to trick after annihilating said door.

Hahaha it was a hilarious vision.

[short gorilla]

ROFLROFLROFL I CALLED U FIRST. NOOB.

Okay, I'll see everyone there. Everyone is coming. Laters.

[Swartz]

That was an...interesting session.

[Wasted_Savior]

Was i the only one who saw the break dancers.. dancing on their car roofs??
btw, more then interesting.. wooooot this means a celebration, im going to consume an entire pizza!

[Swartz]

No I saw them doing that too as I drove out, haha. I was like 'wtf those guys kick even more ass'

Nice job Pete. You're coming along now. You thought 2 months without learning much was crap but that's completely normal. Yay!

[short gorilla]

Yeah, rock on Pete. Next week: kill things. I'm going to desparately try to scrape together $50 this week, so I can start those classes. I'm so addicted, seeing Pete have a success even made me exstatic. Exstatic... static x... Static X! Burn me that C.D. Swartz, please.

[Swartz]

Hey both of you, check your Private Messages here on the forum. I've got them ready since there wasn't much...except for short haha. I'll just start sending the footage to you guys that way instead of by email.

Also. Short. Sure thing. I can't stop listening to it, which I can't say was the case for Shadow Zone or Start a War, their last 2 albums. This bad boy is right up there with Wisconsin Death Trip and Machine. I'll definetly burn you a copy to give to ya next week.

[Wasted_Savior]

growl, the footage you sent me is an AVI, but my converter says its invalid or corrupt when i try to make a GIF.. oh well :eh:

[Swartz]

Hmm...I could make a little lower quality .mpg version I suppose, if I still have the program to do that. Ehh...hmm...dunno.

Maybe you can find some info online, maybe another program or a way of doing it. I'm not really that knowledgeable about making animated gifs, though I've done it here and there.

Maybe you can download some free tial version of a video convertor online to convert .avi to .mpg or whatever else? I'm sure there's a way, just gotta find it.

[short gorilla]

Rock. I look forward to tharshing some children with Static X wailing in the background.

[Swartz]

Yeah if only they'd let us do that at G.U. Too bad they're all christian-founded haha, well that and such music around little kids in general.

When I host a Michigan Gathering at A&B in the future, it's going to be off the ozzle bob hook and whatnot.

[short gorilla]

Jolly good. Jolly good.

It's silly cloudy cold and not fun outside. This sucks. We'll have great weather the rest of the week, JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE.

[Shocker333]

I'm a guy who likes tricking, thats all!!

[Wasted_Savior]

Tricking doesn't like you, so stop watching us in the shower

or hi.. whatever

[Shocker333]

haha, well its gonna have to learn to like me, lol... hi!

[Gazapo]

what area of michigan are you guys in again? i forgot if it was southern michigan or not...i´m almost never in the states anymore but eventually i will be and i may stop by...

[Wasted_Savior]

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/10/05/yugo.candidates.reax/map.michigan.grand.rapids.jpg

Around Grand Rapids

[Swartz]

Haha yes. I'm in NE Grand Rapids, Pete is in Rockford a little north, and short is way down in Otsego. Okay not WAY down but that's closer to Kalamazoo so he's the furthest. Whenever we meet together though it's in the GR area.

Gazapo! -ats! whatever! You really should get yourself here sometime haha. I know the Michigan gathering nonsense died forever ago, and even though I'll host it myself next time I think we're ready for one (end of this year or next year), a little trip here would be cool. Of course I also told some of the Ohio guys if they gave me enough advance notice I'd try to hit up one of their sessions or something.

[short gorilla]

I'll call the place on Saturday then call you guys, like last time. I'll try to make that a regular practice.

[Swartz]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[short gorilla]

Shut up.

Hey, my school is shut down for the weekend as the result of an online threat like Virginia Tech. Is there open gym on Friday?

[Swartz]

Of course there's open gyms on Friday. You already knew that. Unfortunately I can't go to any night sessions, just maybe A&B during the daytime, which I may likely be going to tomorrow. So meet me there if you want another session before Saturdays haha. LET'S KILL OURSELVES TRICKING.

HOWEVER, big news on next week. I work day shift next Friday so I'll have the night free for an open gym session. Please tell me one of you can make it to that haha. There's a lot of options for Friday nights as far as open gyms go.

Ah whatever, I'm going to have a session next Friday night with or without you guys. We'll definetly have this Saturday of course but even sooner, if anybody wants to meet me at A&B tomorrow 1-3 go ahead. http://www.abgym.net/

EDIT: Well obviously no reply about today's session, so I'll see ya guys Saturday and yeah, if either of you can make next Friday night, by all means.

[short gorilla]

Next week is my last friday class for six months so i can start doing friday daytime sessions.

[Swartz]

Well I'll say it here so Pete knows too. A&B will start having open gym sessions during the afternoon and at night on Wednesdays during the summertime. Like starting June, during vacation. Which is super awesome since they didn't have that last year I think. This means a good mid week session on top of our Saturday session plus the occasional Friday afternoon session if you guys are available. I mean that's 2-3 potential gym sessions on top of our outdoor sessions that we might throw in, and with summer, grass sessions are great anyway. I refuse to be indoors all the time, but the point is we have more opportunities, more options come summer.

We're going kick ass fellas.

[short gorilla]

I'll have to find a shirt like this.

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3758/kickass0rv.jpg

[Swartz]

Yes!

[short gorilla]

Actually I'll have to get two. One for me and one for the kid. Because really, I have yet to meet a baby who's ass I could not kick.

[short gorilla]

I had fun guys. Hope to see you again Friday.

[Swartz]

I didn't. I hope I never see you assholes again.

[short gorilla]

You're gonna die, ginga bitch.

[short gorilla]

Okay, here's the deal. I have that tournament on Saturday, so I can't have a Saturday session this week. But I will be going to A&B on Friday at 1. And, to top it all off, I will after this week have no more class on Fridays at all, so I can make 2 garunteed sessions a week, possibly a few Wednesdays as well, schedule permitting this summer. How much ass does that kick?

[Swartz]

That's a lot of asses!

Also, I completely forgot about your tournament so you can pretty much be sure I won't be able to attend now seeing as I didn't ask for it off. PWNED. I mean wait...that kinda sucks.

Whatever, I'm sure you'll have another one in the future haha.

Also I'm home right now in between my split shift so I'm going to get you guys your footage. PWNED. I mean...

[short gorilla]

Yeah... I'm not going to compete, at least I don't think so. I haven't done much sparring lately so I don't know how my wind would hold up. I mean, I'll bring money and gear, and if it looks like a good turn out I might give it a shot. Either way I'll have my camera. The main reason I'm going is because my instructor is competing, and he's a badass. I want to see him kick the shit out of some people, I've only ever been on the recieving end. He was on the olypmic team a few years back (like 8 or so), but he had to drop because he tore his ACL in training, which blows. But yeah, after this weekend it's 2 sessions a week for me.

[Swartz]

Hardcore. Also despite a pretty sore post-weekend, I'm recovering fairly fast. As in I'll be completely fresh by tomorrow. Practically am there already. Guess my conditioning is going up. I'd love to be pretty fresh for sessions 3-4 times a week if possible. YES IT WILL BE POSSIBLE. I love tricking dag nabit.

[short gorilla]

I know. Plus, I'm working enough hours that (although I've said this before) I should be able to take that class soon, leveling up my skills a couple times.

[Swartz]

Yeah just remember A&B is twice the cost of GU. 10 dollars for the normal 2 hour sessions. Shouldn't be a problem for you but I figured you should know that in advance if you decide to make a habit out of it. I know you're used to 5, and that's to be honest the lowest I've ever seen a decent open gym for 2 hours. Hell many places only hold 1-1.5 hours and charge more than that. It's fairly usual for 2 hour open gyms to range from $8-12 or even more. Anyway...yay!

*gets to work on footage*

[short gorilla]

Yeah, I'm setting aside the $15 a week now for it. I mean hell, that's only... $60 a month for four hours a week of tricking. Most M.A. classes cost that much for two hours a week. Plust there's no contracts or whatever. *sits on hands waiting for you to finish vids*

[Swartz]

I'll probably have it ready in an hour or two haha. Maybe closer to 2, since the transferring and uploading take up as much time as making the vid (but not really).

[short gorilla]

Okay. I'm off to work out and eat Chinese people... er, food.

[short gorilla]

Okay, here's the deal Pete. The tournament starts between 11:00 and 12:00. So you should be here around ten. If you can come let me know and I'll give you directions to my place. It's pretty simple to get here, you basically turn east off of 131 and you're here. But I'll give you more detail later on the phone.

[Swartz]

Wait so Pete is actually able to get someone to take him down that far? I thought it'd only work with me available and obviously I'm not.

[short gorilla]

Well I dunno, he had mentioned to me that if he could swing it he wanted to come, so whatever. I haven't talked to him in a couple days now so he might not be coming.

[short gorilla]

What the fuck, Swartz? Where were you?

[Wasted_Savior]

well, sorry short but i can't go - my dads putting tiling in the bathroom this weekend and needs me.. i dont know if ill be able to go to open gym or not either, if your not going and i dunno if swartz is going, i definatly dont wanna be alone!

[short gorilla]

Actually I've been meaning to call you. I can't go to the tournament because Amber has to work tonight and tomorrow night, and I have to be at Joe's before the tournament would be over, so there's no real point in going anyways. Thus I will be at open gym tomorrow if Swartz will be there.

[Swartz]

Haha short did you go to A&B or something this afternoon? I told you this Friday I was working the DAY shift, so I'd have the NIGHT off. Normally I have Friday afternoons off and that's why I said those would be the times for us to go. Obviously you didn't read my previous posts very carefully haha.

I went to the 9:30 pm session after working like over 9.5 straight hours and kicked ass haha. Everything was huge, I'm the winner.

Seriously though, did you end up going there? If so did you stay and do anything or what's the deal? Also, if you did why didn't you call me asking? haha

Well whatever, if you're going to be at the gym tomorrow at 1, I'll be there as well. Was going to be anyway. I'll see whoever there then I guess.

Also, did you get the Static-X files yet? You didn't let me know and I want to know so I can take it offline when you have 'em.

[short gorilla]

GOD DAMMIT. Yeah, I was there, waited for you for an hour and left. Didn't do much. What a fucking waste of time. I was all pissed off too because I totally forgot what you said about the day shift. I was like "Fucking Swartz, you had better not have been in a car accident." I was thinking that because there had been a bunch of sirens and an ambulance while I was waiting.

Yeah, I'll be there Saturday. Starting this week though it's two sessions a week, Friday (1-3) and Saturday (1-3). Be there or die.

[short gorilla]

And oh yeah, I did call you. About fifty times. Literally. I could have played a game on my cell phone, but I thought harassing you would be more fun since I've beaten all the cell phone games in the known universe.

And yes I got the Static Y files.

[Swartz]

Hahahahaha okay. Well don't plan next Friday or Saturday with me. I'm taking a trip to Beloit, Wisconsin. Meeting up with Patrick/musasabi and those guys for a second time (you might remember the team angled sampler from a while ago, I think you saw it on youtube).

So the week AFTER this next one plan on me being there. I mean you can still go to those but I'll be out of town.

Sorry you wasted the trip there though. As for calling me, hmm...I'll probably find a bunch of missed calls next time I check but I never heard it go off. Then again I keep my phone in the car because my boss usually bitches about answered phones inside the store. You must have been hitting me in the intervals when I was inside. =\

I'm not sure why you didn't take advantage of the gym since you were there though...ah whatever.

Glad you got the music, I'll take that off now. See ya tomorrow, though you might read this AFTER all that.

FUTURE REFERENCE: We do what we always do. We confirm each and every session. That's what we've done so far and that's why you ended up being the only one to plan on this particular Friday afternoon session. I didn't say anything about actually being there. That whole statement was in general for future reference. Each session has to have a heads up. Stuff happens at the last minute or I can't make things every week because of other stuff schedule beforehand.

Lack of communication really screws shit up, I know, that's why we have to keep doing this and not assume, because we're all guilty of it at times.

[short gorilla]

Yup. Sounds good. I won't go next Friday, too far to drive to be by myself. But next Saturday me and Pete can tear it up, just the two of us. Have fun in Wisconsin on your Death Trip. See ya'll tomarrie.

[Wasted_Savior]

Well i can't go to todays open gym, My sister works for a photographer and had to go to a wedding so im without a car :eh:
i'll be seeing short next weekend i guess

[Swartz]

Yes you WILL be!

Neither of us did great today Pete haha, though the floor was basically all ours this time, nobody there. Uh...I can btwist again, though not consistently yet haha. Yay, other than that, the combination of last night's plus today's sessions leave me kinda torn up. I'm too busy straining my muscles from not stretching well enough. Golly gosh darn it.

Now I'm done tricking until Thursday in Wisconsin.

[short gorilla]

Pffff. Wisconson.

[Swartz]

I have the footage ready but I don't have time to upload it before work, so I'll do that part tonight and you'll have the links before I go to bed.

[short gorilla]

OKAYYBE I WILL PROLLY BEE ONN TONITE B4 U GO 2 BED SOZ WE KEN CHATZ LOL

[Swartz]

No, I'll likely just ignore you and not even sign on AIM.

[short gorilla]

Okay, Pete. This Saturday. You and me. Mano-a-mano.

[Wasted_Savior]

We can drill front flips, practice aerials, compete in the olympic event of dwarf tossing! and of coarse as always make fun of swartz :worry:

[short gorilla]

Aerials or die.

[Swartz]

Meanwhile I'll be having some awesome trick sessions and will probably have sick footage to display...and will make fun of pete and short lololololol


I've got a homework assignment for you guys, try backflips on your own and film using short's crappy cam so I have something to laugh at when I get back lololololol

Next time you guys are both fresh YOU MUST work on backflips with me again. You guys made good progress in one day (the first time we met), just think about what another few days would do.

I can't tell you how much your confidence will increase learning the move, and just how fun it is. Especially because of all the other moves and variations learning that opens up. Seriously, you guys are way overdue for trying them again haha. Won't get over the fear by "waiting"

[short gorilla]

It's not a fear thing really, I've been having fun working on the front tuck and the ...aerial......sorta........ ha ha. But yeah, we'll try them. And my cam isn't that crappy. It's the light that's crappy.

Better have that sick footage for us. We'll work hard on Saturday, make our own sick footage making fun of YOOOOOOOOO!!! lollems!!!

[Swartz]

Don't kid yourself, your cam is inferior.

Also....OKAY.

[short gorilla]

I'm not kidding myself. I said it's not that crappy.

[Wasted_Savior]

well i can't go tomorrow - been home sick here :( not very fun.. im depressed i haven't gone in 2 weeks.. growl - i'll probably call you later and tell you if you haven't posted here by 9:00

[short gorilla]

You should come anyways to hold targets and call the ambulance.

[Swartz]

Well well well...what do we have here?

[short gorilla]

HE couldn't go because he's a whiney little girl with a mommy that had to punish him for being sick or something gay.

This week I want to do Friday and Saturday. Be there Swartz. How was Wisconson?

[Swartz]

It was fun, especially the getting lost in Chicago part trying to find my way through O'Hare airport and whatnot. It was a...learning experience. No really it was awesome. I didn't think 4 days could fly by so fast, but it was a nice break from the norm of eat, sleep, and work. I got inspired to start lifting more though so if I'm not tricking as well for a while it's because I'm conditioning myself with lifting, and once I'm better with it I'll be able to trick stronger. I'll still of course go to these sessions don't worry, it's just a matter of how much I trick. So Friday and Saturday afternoon? You got it.

P.S. I have like 3 hours worth of footage captured on my laptop to slice up and edit through, which'll by far be my biggest video editing project to date but it's definetly going to be awesome. Maybe it'll be up in a week or two, I really don't know haha. I'm off tomorrow so I'll likely be spending much of the day working on it. More like...preparing to work on it, so much stuff haha.

[short gorilla]

Okay, here's the deal. I can do Friday at 1 PM this week, but not Saturday, because we have lamaze classes all day. Then next week I can do Friday again, but I might not make it to Saturday because I'll be testing for my next belt in TKD. That's not to say I won't be there, but I might not have time. We'll see.

[Wasted_Savior]

=[ but but..

[Swartz]

And what's your situation Pete? Again, I'm good for both Fri's and Sat's these next few weeks far as I know.

[Wasted_Savior]

well - from what i know now i can go, and i have a ride.. but with this family of mine shit always happens last minute :eh:

count on me going =]

[short gorilla]

But nothing you whiner. You had your chance, and you had to go and make your mommy angry.

Yeah, Saturday is gonna be Short free this week, but I might be there the following week, and then all that stuff will be out of the way and Fridays and Saturdays will be mine for the tricking.

But this week and next week Friday at 1 PM is a definite yes.

[Swartz]

I'm going to be an absolute crap trickster for a while until I'm conditioned with lifting. You know like not completely sore for 4-5 days straight or whatever. It might be a bit but I gotta get it over with sometime, and there's no way I'm simply going to NOT lift.

Like...just got done with my leg workout. There's no way I'll be healed in 3 days. I'll be at the peak for my soreness by then.

I'll spot you guys and film crap mostly hahaha.

[Wasted_Savior]

you can teach me new tricks and laugh when i crash them:juji:

[Rahf]

Hey Swartz, ever contemplated trying something like contrast showers to ease the soreness? It's not like you have something to lose from it.

[Swartz]

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION. No really I know of all kinds of methods but in the end it helps minimally for my situation. I get sore really bad. I can't walk with good form usually after training legs, much less jog or run (well at least without looking like an idiot as short can tell you).

I take ebsom salt baths, do some light stretching, and whatever else but in the end it makes little difference. It's mostly a matter of conditioning at this point. Getting into the routine and getting used to it so my recovery days decrease.

I mean I never really lifted more than 2 weeks at a time before taking some big long time off. If this became a lifestyle I guarantee it'd be different for me, and that's what I'm going for right now.

[Swartz]

LOLROFLMAO YOU GOT PWNED SHORT LOLOLOLOLOL

[Wasted_Savior]

If you stop crying now we'll go next week! how about that chief? huh? does that sound good?

[Swartz]

HAHA SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

[short gorilla]

Yeah, you guys suck. It's okay, it's just a compulsion, I'm kind of used to going to Culver's after every session and it feels awkward not going, meh.

I tried the lazy boy at my in-law's house, was too tired, hurt my foot. Ha ha. Oh well. The grass was all uneven too, so I couldn't avoid hurting myself. Not a serious injury, just my big toe.

Friday, Swartz? Shall we? I dunno if I'll make Saturday because of testing, but I prolly will.

[Swartz]

Friday, Swartz? Shall we? I dunno if I'll make Saturday because of testing, but I prolly will.

Haha no really Culver's wasn't an every after-session thing, just like half the time maybe. It's probably a good thing it didn't happen anyway. I had an interesting way trying to get Pete back home, as in all that construction having a reverse affect so it was smooth on the way to the gym but total rubbish bull on the way back. Didn't even go lift, because by then I knew it'd be the busy time in the gym. Ah anyway, that's not to say we won't go there in the future. It's still a good place and all.

Even if I'm sore again, yes to both Friday and Saturday assuming at least one of you plans on it. If I'm good then I'll be at both anyway.

[short gorilla]

Yeah, ok. I will be there on Friday, and I will make a tentative plan for Saturday but don't be surprised if I don't show up. I'm not sure what time I'll get out of testing.

[Swartz]

Just skip testing.

[short gorilla]

Pfff. Yeah. Who cares about the classes I've been taking for the last two years. They don't matter.

[Swartz]

Yeah that's why I'm saying.

[short gorilla]

I'm gonna drill some lazyboi's and stuff this week. Jus sayin.

[Swartz]

Lazyboi's are pretty damn gay to be honest.

[short gorilla]

I know. So are you, or at least that's what Pete's dad says.

I'm actually gonna drill to turn my spiral hook into a tripple kick. Gay that, queer.

[Swartz]

Go play with your barbies...N00B

[short gorilla]

HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!?!?

[short gorilla]

Swartz: Hey short, guess what?

Short: What?

Swartz: BTWIST!!!

Friday will be b-twists and backtucks.

[short gorilla]

Pete, when are you getting emancipated? You should skip school on Friday and come to the gym.

[Wasted_Savior]

Pete, when are you getting emancipated? You should skip school on Friday and come to the gym.

2 more weeks

[Swartz]

Yeah duh short, it's pretty much always early June.

[Swartz]

Opps. I'm not going. I'm scheduled for the day shift (yes!) and so I won't be there. Have fun tricking alone, short. You probably should if you aren't able to make it Saturday, ho ho

[short gorilla]

Oops! I got sick and couldn't even work out. Good riddance.

Next week two action packed sessions (unless Swartz has to work). See you then.

[Swartz]

Well Pete and I didn't feel like going today. I work the night shift like usual on Friday and am completely off on Saturday, though I might be using that day to hang out with some friends I don't see much. Still, that won't be an all day thing so I'm sure we can still do the usual Sat afternoon GU session.

[short gorilla]

Okay, so... is two sessions doable for you next week Swartz? Or should we just plan on Saturday.

[Swartz]

Both are doable, though due to timing I may end up being useless again on Friday from a leg workout, so...meh. Depends how I feel. Sat definetly and well Friday I'll see how I feel when the time comes lollerskates.

[short gorilla]

Okay. If you can come I would definitely appreciate the extra work, but if you can't I'll understand and stay home and play Barbie with the neighbor girls.

[Swartz]

I'm gonna play with Barbies at the gym and not spot you.

[short gorilla]

I'll wear my pink leotard.

[Wasted_Savior]

Hey Swartz, if short can't make it on a saturday you wanna just ditch the gym and use my lawn? could save a few bucks on gym fees

also id like to take a moment and say.. SCHOOLS ALMOST OUT!! one more 4 day week and then exams and im free..!

and i might as well mention that im applying for several jobs! wish me luck

[Swartz]

I thought short was pretty much planning on Sat though. Last I knew anyway.

Good luck with a job and whatnot, haha. I know the hassle but this is one of the better times of year to find out. More opportunities in the summer.

[short gorilla]

Yes, I will be there Saturday. No ditching for you, Nancy. See you guys tomorrow and Saturday. Well Swartz anyways.

[Wasted_Savior]

what the hell? moving? they can't move i dont have anywhere else to go!! ~turns emo~

[short gorilla]

Well it's not like they're the neighbor kid you grew up with that's moving to Arkansas because his dad got a promotion. They'll just be in a bigger, better building with a different address. No need to emo on us.

[Wasted_Savior]

Well it's not like they're the neighbor kid you grew up with that's moving to Arkansas because his dad got a promotion. They'll just be in a bigger, better building with a different address. No need to emo on us.

haha, i find it incredibly coincidental that my friend since 3rd grade, who lived 4 houses down from me just recently moved over to greenville

[Swartz]

Well it's not like they're the neighbor kid you grew up with that's moving to Arkansas because his dad got a promotion. They'll just be in a bigger, better building with a different address. No need to emo on us.

Yeah I was trying to get that through Pete's head yesterday on AIM. SHAME ON YOU PETE.

[Wasted_Savior]

Yeah I was trying to get that through Pete's head yesterday on AIM. SHAME ON YOU PETE.

you can't stop me!!! :wicked:

[short gorilla]

Well I completely forgot this but this coming Saturday is the baby shower at my in-law's. Not that G.U. is going to be open anyway (they prolly won't be), but I wouldn't be able to go if they were. I will however be available Friday if you can go, Swartz. And this time I will get even more serious work done on totally awesome moves that pwn.

[Swartz]

I'm pretty sure I'm available (not 100% but maybe 90%?)

Anyway assuming I don't work the day shift like I think I don't, I'll be there and this time able to trick (working with my workout schedule to save my legs for the weekend) haha.

[Wasted_Savior]

with summer coming up.. i want more tricking.. =] we gotta do things more then just Saturday!

[Swartz]

Of course.

[Flowers]

Summer gathering?

[Swartz]

Summer gathering?

I want to put a Michigan Gathering together sometime next year actually. When in there I don't know, probably Spring or Summer though, good weather. I know of a great big park and a nice rentable gym. I'm mainly just waiting to get my own place (this Fall) so I can house anybody that comes.

[short gorilla]

I'm gonna call G.U. today and find out when exactly they will be opening the new location, if there will be a change in pricing, etc. I'll let you guys know.

[xinpridexwefallx]

A&B used to be pretty good. they got expensive as hell. i dunno, i havent been back to rockford in like 3 years. but i grew up there. theres a place downtown rockford that wasnt the greatest facility, but it was pretty cheap.

[Swartz]

A&B used to be pretty good. they got expensive as hell. i dunno, i havent been back to rockford in like 3 years. but i grew up there. theres a place downtown rockford that wasnt the greatest facility, but it was pretty cheap.

Yeah there's like only one gym that shows up in Rockford, so that's probably it. None of us have been there though.

When I first went to A&B it was like $12 for 2 hours. It's $10 now, which is still on the high end but not too ridiculous compared to some gyms.

[Flowers]

How is the quality of the gym? Worth it?

My gym is 8 for non members but is a bit lacking in size and equipment.

[Swartz]

There's more than one gym here. A&B ($10 for 2 hrs) is pretty good. I think my fav overall for hours, facility and cost is G.U. which is only $5.

That same gym is moving to a new building though so they could be improving even more. Hopefully they don't raise their price but if they do I doubt it'd be by much.

There's several other gyms too but overall these seem like the best (that I've visited so far).

[Flowers]

nice nice. 5 is very good. That's the discount I get at my gym for being a member.
Hows the grass in michigan? Good consistency?

Or moreso what part of michigan are you guys located.

[Swartz]

I'm right in Grand Rapids. I reside on the northside where A&B is but G.U. is in Jenison which is on the west side.

Haha grass is grass, it's different in different areas. The particular big park I'm referring to runs alongside the main river running through GR and the grass is pretty good for the most part.

Wasted Savior/Pete is in Rockford just north of GR and short gorilla/Matt is further south in Otsego which is near Kalamazoo, so he has a bit of a ride to get up here (45 minute drive or so).

Pretty much all gyms in GR are within a 15-20 minute drive or less for me though.

[Flowers]

I live in northern Indiana. Fortwayne area. Shouldn't be too much of a drive to get up there. Couple hours

[Swartz]

Yeah last time we were discussing a Michigan Gathering it failed (another guy on this forum was going to host it and failed miserably, he lived in another part of Michigan). That's why I decided to take up the task myself sometime in the future (next year).

We seemed to have several people interested last time too. Mostly from Ohiobut a few from Indiana and Illinois of course. Plus there's some Michigan tricksters here too (more in Detroit now as well), but I'm not sure how many would actually make it. I'm sure I could get a decent sized group together though.

[Flowers]

KGB lives in ohio. me and Luke and maybe others would be interested. Start a thread maybe?

[Swartz]

Might be a little early for that seeing as it'd happen Spring/Summer '08. I'll definetly plan on starting up a thread closer to that time, like at the end of this year or so.

[Flowers]

damn why not shoot for this year?

[xinpridexwefallx]

A&B used to be 5 for members and 7 for non. but that was like 7 years ago. i think i need to go back and visit rockford this summer. its been a long time.

[Wasted_Savior]

rockford <3

[xinpridexwefallx]

rockford high school. aahhhh the memories. gettin hit by cars... sneaking into games... quite the rebellious youth.

[Swartz]

damn why not shoot for this year?

Because like I said already, I'm waiting to get my own place to house people. A hell of a lot easier than trying to get hotel rooms for everybody, and less expense to those coming. That won't even be happening until this Fall, and even then I gotta settle in and get stuff situtating for starting school too. Just seems like a bit much to fit in at the end of the year, especially by that time we'll start getting some colder weather. Even with the gym I figure it'd be nice to have a big park grass session too. It'd just be easier for me overall to wait until Spring/Summer next year.

That's not to say people can't come up and visit for a day if they want or something before that but for a decent sized gathering I'd like to wait.

[Flowers]

alright sounds good. It'll give me time to up my arsenal and "discover" my style lol

[Swartz]

Yeah I still suck, AND I DON'T MEAN JUST TRICKS LOLOLOLOL

[short gorilla]

When we do the gathering I'm going to crash at your place and steal your furniture.

[Wasted_Savior]

I'll be helping him

[Swartz]

Sounds great fagets!

[Flowers]

O goody it'll be just like my old slumber parties.

[short gorilla]

Well, even though there's not session this week (suck), next week they should be in their new facility. I'll put up any info I can get later tonight.

[Swartz]

Haha I'm not doing shit this weekend. I rolled my ankle last night on the dumbest thing ever. Wasn't even playing real basketball I just went up and grabbed the rim on the hoop in my driveway. On my way down I landed on uneven cement and WHOOP. Got really close to sprainging it. Somewhere between a mild roll and that. Hurt like a bitch and I wasn't sure how bad it'd be today but it's mostly gone now. Still, I'm avoiding tricking and leg workouts for the next few days or however long I feel safe. I'll of course be fine and dandy for next weekend.

[short gorilla]

...............ghey.

[Swartz]

Hey shut up!

[short gorilla]

Prolly no one will read this but I'm gonna call them today and get the info we need for Saturday. Swartz lemme know about Friday and Saturday, if you can do either/both, whatever. I'm seriously jonesing right now for some trickadge.

[Wasted_Savior]

i went into with-drawl today >=[

i nedz teh trixz :dead:

[Swartz]

Why wouldn't we read this short? haha. I check on this thread everyday for new posts. Yeah having not tricked since Wisconsin I'm kinda eager to start again. Already did my leg workout last night so I should be good for both Fri and Sat, or at least Sat but I'll still do a little somethin' somethin' on Friday. Yeah you heard me right. I work evening shifts both days. Anywho, I'll plan on both (assuming G.U. is actually fully operational on Saturday).

[short gorilla]

Yeah............. when I posted that I had intended to call then post again. But I had to sleep and wound up not calling. I'll call tomorrow. Laters.

[Wasted_Savior]

I finally got some creatine today, gonna give that a whirl and look for some gains.. I've abandoned my ideas of cutting for now.. i just don't see the point, Im still tiny at 134 lbs.. I figure I'll go for 145 then cut and see where I'm at

2 more days of exams and I'm out for summer..:tongue: i hope to kick my first day off with a day of tricking.. please god tell me they're settled in for Saturday..

[Swartz]

2 more days of exams and I'm out for summer..:tongue: i hope to kick my first day off with a day of tricking.. please god tell me they're settled in for Saturday..

Yeah buddey! Eat eat eat. I weigh around 175 now give or take a couple pounds. I was 165 at wisconsin and had been that same weight for months. I want to get around 185-200, and then see where I go. Considering my height I likely get even heavier. Legs have been adding the most mass lately, which makes sense and it's cool to finally see the muscles emerge when I flex haha. Though they still suck...for now.

[short gorilla]

When I started trying to cut down I weighed 214...ish. I've lost some mass, but I also lost my gut. I'm down to 185 now. And still cutting. I kick ass.

[short gorilla]

By the way, this weekend I'll be donning my new hat.

[Wasted_Savior]

I saw a commercial for Culvers and i was reminded of Tricking.. please god tell me they're set up for the weekend?! :shocked:

[Swartz]

I saw a commercial for Culvers and i was reminded of Tricking.. please god tell me they're set up for the weekend?! :shocked:

I bet he still hasn't called. I might have to end up doing it myself, though I'll likely forget to anyway. Also, they're building a Culver's near where I live (on Alpine). Before that, Jenison was the closest one I knew of. That and on on 54th street (south side of GR). w00t w00t. Actually I'll probably like never go there but at least it's an option for me now haha.

THIS JUST IN: My legs, unlike every other body part insists on not improving their recovery time so I'll once again be a piece of crap tomorrow. I'm betting I can pull off more than I have the last few sessions on Sat though. Seriously if the gym isn't set up for some reason I know of plenty of other gyms we can consider trying. Same times and everything. Well I don't know what their facilities are like nor the rates but they can't be too much different. That's just backup of course. All I'm saying is we don't have to give up on a Sat session by relying ONLY on G.U. Therefore we should really confirm with them tomorrow sometime, NOT Saturday morning.

[short gorilla]

Well um, yeah I didn't call yet. Lay off it I'm working two jobs every damn day and I'm tired. Speaking of witch, my radiator cracked and I can't go today (Friday). I should have a reliable car to use for Saturday, but today is out. So, yeah. Someone should call G.U. I'll try to call, but I might not. So you guys call too.

[Swartz]

Haha that's fine. I wouldn't have done anything today anyway. We're just harassing you because you decided to take up that responsibility, but only just now are you saying something about it being difficult because of your busy schedule. Anyways I'll call them and update ya guys.

EDIT: Well to make it simple there won't be open gym this Saturday. I got ahold of someone there on my second attempt and they said they haven't really scheduled open gyms yet for the new place. If we call sometime in this next week though they'll have new voicemail recorded stating when the new open gym times are, etc.

Also just so you know their new location is the Georgetown Ice Center 8500 48th St in Hudsonville (corner of 48th St and Bauer Ave). I'll look that up for distance. The woman on the phone said the new place had A/C, which is pretty much super duper if you ask me. Anywho...

Looks like that's about a 30 minute drive now for me instead of 20. 23 miles from my place. Basically it's further west, so it's a little further for all of us. Still that's a reasonable distance I think. Now Pete if you're unable to get rides because of even more distance or just in general anyway, let me know. I'm more than willing to keep picking you up if need be.

That aside, obviously Saturday can still be used. I can see about looking up one of these other gyms possibly since there's numerous ones with Saturday afternoon sessions. I'll only look into it if you're both interested though. I know one off the top of my head close to where I live. It's Alpine gymnastics, same time/hours. Not sure what their rates are but that's just one possibility. I can look up my list. Havne't visited it though or anything.

Also, A&B has new hours for the summer. Every Wednesday now, which is big plus. Both an afternoon session from 1-3 ($10) and their teen night from 9:30-11 ($7). And of course still their Friday afternoon sessions. If Wednesdays either day or night work for you guys at all that'd be a great opportunity as well being mid-week and all. Otherwise I'll just hog it myself. I almost always have Wednesdays off but not sure what it's like for you guys. Pete you're out of school but not sure with short's schedule. Anyways new hours are active as of June 13th.

Besides GYMS, we can still consider outdoor sessions. Pete I'll seriously consider tricking in your yard once in a while. You're more available now so we'll just try to find a few good times for me to come over and trick for an hour or two. I could drive you down to the big park near where I live too if you wanted to try another area sometime too. Okay well I've babbled on long enough.

We either find another gym for Sat (which is possible but up to you guys) or we just wait until next weekend (and they SHOULD be ready then from what they said).

Hmm, if they require waivers signed for these other places that might be a problem for Pete unless I somehow got up much earlier, went and got one, picked up Pete and gave it to him, THEN went to the gym. Well whatever, I haven't looked up details for any of these gyms yet cause I worked today so...please respond to this soon haha. I have until the morning to decide on what to do. Otherwise we'll just forget about gym at all this week. Or maybe...outdoor session? Should be good weather tomorrow. You guys decide!

[Swartz]

Alright screw it. I don't feel like dealing with the stuff associated with waivers and whatnot for an alternate gym. No way that's going to be get handled in time I think. I mean we can go for an outdoor session if you guys are interested (I start work at 5:30) otherwise our next gym session will have to be next weekend. So yeah, let me know if either of you (or both) are interested in a first outdoor session...and that's all. Oh and if not tomorrow maybe something mid week? Well I don't know about short, but maybe pete and I can mess around and pretend to trick.

[short gorilla]

Fuck. Well Wednesday works for me I think, so let me know when those start up. I guess I'll just go to the gym today or something because I don't want to do an outdoor session quite yet. That's okay though, I have a lot of shit I'm dealing with at home right now that I should try to take care of this weekend anyways. But let me know if Wednesday sessions are starting and we'll trick it up.

I mentioned in my post it starts as of June 13th dude, haha, but uh yeah that's fine. So basically THIS Wednesday is the first one.

[short gorilla]

Okay, well, I'll plan on going then if you can go. Dude I read that after two shifts and no sleep, so forgive me for it not all registering.

I WON'T TOLERATE SUCH INCOMPETENCE AGAIN! Consider this a WARNING.

Ummmmmmmmm...............no?

Looks like that's about a 30 minute drive now for me instead of 20. 23 miles from my place. Basically it's further west, so it's a little further for all of us. Still that's a reasonable distance I think. Now Pete if you're unable to get rides because of even more distance or just in general anyway, let me know. I'm more than willing to keep picking you up if need be.
Well my sisters are home from college for the summer.. of coarse this means we have 5 people with jobs/volunteer work.. and only 2 cars.. so it'd be awesome if we could work out you picking me up once in a while, if not all the time - Of coarse id give you gas money :wink:

Also, A&B has new hours for the summer. Every Wednesday now, which is big plus. Both an afternoon session from 1-3 ($10) and their teen night from 9:30-11 ($7). And of course still their Friday afternoon sessions. If Wednesdays either day or night work for you guys at all that'd be a great opportunity as well being mid-week and all. Otherwise I'll just hog it myself. I almost always have Wednesdays off but not sure what it's like for you guys. Pete you're out of school but not sure with short's schedule. Anyways new hours are active as of June 13th.
Sounds good to me, id love to get more gym time in.. im getting like 125$ cuz my family is going to florida/disney world without me, so starting mid-july i should have no problem with going to multiple sessions a week if thats what you have in mind, but if your gonna be picking me up id need a waiver in advance for the rents to sign

Haha they're going without you? You weren't interested or what's the deal with that? If you don't mind me asking. Doesn't matter, just though that was funny. Anyway, the waiver is simple. It's off their main site, here's a direct link: http://www.abgym.net/forms/waiver.pdf

Just print it out and have them sign it, whatever. Yeah taking care of rides for you is fine by me. Not much of a hike. After giving my training partner Ray in Detroit rides back and forth (30 min each way) for a total of 2 hours driving time for me per session, I got used to worse. It was worth it of course. Anyway, about this Wednesday. I take it you're both up for it then? Well let's decide on which session. Would you guys prefer afternoon or evening? At least for this week.

haha it saved them money (flight/hotel/food) and im not to interested in disney world, so i elected to stay home with my dad and take care of the animals/garden for some cash
Waiver Printed
My road is being paved, so i dunno what things will be like.. so far its passable just a few pipes sticking outta the ground.. but if you can't get down here, or seeing as how my mailbox is gone.. just call me on my cell and ill sprint up to the gas station..
And im not too pick about which one we go to, the evening is what? half an hour shorter? but it wont have all those little kids around so it may be worth more then the afternoon.. but the afternoon might not be all that active X.x god i don't care give me tricks or give me death!!

[Swartz]

School's out now so I'm not sure how busy the afternoon session will be. I can guarantee it'll be much less crowded then the night session though. I doubt there will be that many little kids, and even if there are they rarely use the plyo floor, there's so much other stuff in that gym. Teen night is the evening one and the place is usually pretty packed with...teens. So no little kids but room does run out easier on occassion. It's still useable of course but if we want to make the most out of the space we should probably use the afternoon session. Evening one, being shorter and all is $3 less, but it really all depends on what's more important to you guys haha. I suppose I don't care much myself, though I'm guessing we're all in favor of the afternoon one mostly. Now if short would just give his 2 cents that'd be fine and dandy.

[short gorilla]

I'll see you at A & B today, Swartzy. Call me at home if you can't go, so I can sleep in or go to the gym or something.

[xinpridexwefallx]

Haha assuming you haven't listening to your phone messages yet, the place wasn't holding an afternoon gym session. We got there and 2 of the staff were there. The girl at the desk thought there was open gym as well but the owner said it was only the teen night today and the afternoon sessions were next week. Yeah well that wasn't exactly announced on their website so we weren't supposed to know any better. We weren't the only ones who showed up too so everyone was rather pissed haha. Anyway Pete and I are going tonight and if you can come, great. I'm guessing you probably have to work or something though.

Did you sleep in or something afterall? We were talking smack about you the whole time haha. WHERE IS HE?

Cool, you should join us for a gym session or two. How long will be around?
