Michigan Tricking?

[short gorilla]

Yeah, I slept in. Fuck. I work so many damn hours right now it's disgusting. I'll tell you on AIM though.

[Swartz]

GOOD JOB.

[short gorilla]

Thank you. I try.

[short gorilla]

Good news guys. There's a gym in Plainwell that has open gyms and adult classes. I already called for info but no one answered so I'm waiting for them to call back. But yeah, if it looks good we can do a couple sessions here and you guys can hang out in mah crib. If you guys have the time after a session I'll even treat you to some of Joe's pizza or subs. Good times will be had by all.

I just called G.U., and maybe you guys know this already, maybe you even posted it and I overlooked it in my sleep depravated stupor, but there are no more Saturday open gyms at G.U. They have open gym on Wednesdays 12-2, and Wednesday nights (I think they said 8 but I'm not sure). So if we meet up this Saturday it will have to be at A & B, which is fine with me, I'm all for it. I am desparate for a session so I'm going if at least one of you will go.

I have caught up on my sleep and should be good to bust out some moves on Saturday. Yeah.... ok.

[Wasted_Savior]

Meh, i got a family thing this weekend so i wont be seeing you until next weds i guess.. cheers

[short gorilla]

Bah. Well open gym in Plainwell is $6 every Monday and Wednesday 8pm-930pm. And they have Tuesday night classes I will prolly be going to. This kicks so much ass I could blow a load.

[Swartz]

Well having fucked my achilles tendon at the gym early into the session on Wednesday (what a waste) I'm pretty much screwed for tricking. It's getting better but not really that safe yet to trick. I'm not doing shit tomorrow, and I just worked a 10+ hour day cause I had to close seeing as one of the closing drivers quit. I need sleep damn it. Honestly I'm not up to a session tomorrow given shit going on lately, don't feel like putting in the 10 bucks too. I mean I'm not saying it's not worth it short, I don't mind doing it. Spotting you etc, but...meh. Just not up for it this time.

I'll highly consider Wednesday though, even if I'm not tricking ready by then, be it at the Plainwell gym or G.U. or whatever. Yeah I heard that message too I'm pretty sure they said Wednesday 12-2 and some other day 5-7. The second day I couldn't make out, the recorded message must have had an error cause I heard the message more than once. You sure they said Wednesday night and not...Friday or something? Anyway I definetly know it was 5-7. Buuttt...whatever. I'm not in the mood right now to think about this stuff anyway. Forget tomorrow. I'll do SOMETHING on Wednesday...maybe. Might have plans in the afternoon...or not.

I hate tricking and these gay freak accident injuries. Webster crash onto a half foot thick mat. FUCKING SPARE ME. How the hell is it possible to get injured in that scenario? HOLY CRAP.

[short gorilla]

Prolly hurt yourself because you're used to doing it on a firmer surface. There wasn't enough support for the impact.

Well hell, I guess I'll just stay after TKD class in the morning and drill extra hard. Whatever, I'll be doing a lot of shit in Plainwell soon so I'll be ready for you when you're fully recovered. Get well soon buddy. Definitely come to Wednesday if you can, and Pete too, because I seriously need to hang with you guys. I have a lot of shit going on right now and it really helps to hang with you guys and just be stupid.

Hope to see you guys Wednesday. Get better Swartz, you girl.

[Swartz]

Prolly hurt yourself because you're used to doing it on a firmer surface. There wasn't enough support for the impact.
No silly. I've done it more than once and on multiple surfaces. Last time was just normal plyo floor from the first time I went to Wisconsin. Hard enough that a direct impact like that can hurt. But on a 6 inch' thick mat? Give me a break. It's borderline "I JUST BROKE MY FOOT LANDING IN THE FOAM PIT."

We need to decide on a gym for Wednesday either way. We have like 3 options now. A&B, G.U. and Plainwell wtf.

[short gorilla]

Well Plainwell open gyms are at night, and I most likely will have to work during that time. So really it's between G.U. and A.B. until I get some freaking time off work. But I know that I'll be able to get at least a little time in Mondays and/or Tuesdays there, so that will be cool. It's really up to you guys which gym we go to, just let me know. I'll let you guys pick since you'll prolly wind up driving Pete, which is more complicated. I just have to know where to go. So you two decide and we'll go there and stuff.

[Swartz]

There's been some issues regarding my schedule this next week, including Wednesday but I BELIEVE I can still make it to a Wednesday afternoon session. That said I'd be up for trying G.U.'s 12-2 slot, for the sake of checking out their new location and then decide if we still want to make that place routine or stick more with A&B.

[short gorilla]

Okay, awesome. I look forward to seeing you then. My work schedule has been rearranged and it's now more favorable for me to trick and train, so that kicks some ass. Going over to the Plainwell place in a couple hours. "All That Gymnastics." I'll let you guys know how it goes.

[Wasted_Savior]

i may be doing a little landscaping to make some cash during the summer so.. wooh, yah!! WOOH
okay im done celebrating.. carry on

[short gorilla]

You better be there on Wednesday Pete. We all three need to blow the lid off the joint. You know, trash the new restrooms, stain the carpets, stuff like that.

[mrbrent]

Hey, I'm originally from Warren, but I just moved to Las Vegas. I'll be in Warren MI all of July, my aim is mrbrent01 so hit me up.

[Swartz]

That's awesome dude, and yes you better be there Wednesday, as in me picking you up haha.

Definetly. My ankle is pretty good now. Basically I'd have to impact it the same way again for it to be bothersome. I'm going to extra careful with certain moves, but for the rest I'll be able to perform regularly.

Oh yeah, near Detroit. Well man if I can schedule a good Saturday (most likely) with some of the guys in that area (Downriver Gymnastics most liley) then that'd probably be the prime time to hit us up, unless you wanted to drive to Grand Rapids of course. Point is there's other tricksters in the Detroit area and it'd be convenient to all be there at once, so I could drive down.

[Flowers]

Where do u work swartz?

[Swartz]

Not far from where I live. Less than 5 miles and when I move in the Fall more like 1 mile haha. I deliver pizzas at Pizza Hut. Whoopdeedoo.

[short gorilla]

I also deliver pizzas.

[short gorilla]

I feel like a total pussy. I have to do more of everything and drill the hell out of everything. I suck.

[Swartz]

I feel like a total pussy. I have to do more of everything and drill the hell out of everything. I suck.

It was a bad session for you. Accept that or I'll kick your ass. Hopefully you'll be better off tomorrow but even if you aren't don't think you aren't making progress. Every session you have, even the bad ones, you do in some way. I can't wait for a 9-12 session actually, with nobody there and for only 6 bucks at a gym I haven't been too before. WICKED COOL. Also since those gainers are gay I'm going to just work on them from a reverse hop setup instead haha.

[cepopeye]

short, swartz wanted me to tell you that he's going to bail out on tomorrow's morning session, but he'll be at the friday one

[cepopeye]

And Scott wanted me to tell you that your avatar is an endless source of enjoyment for him.

[short gorilla]

HAHAHA! Okay. Yeah I didn't go today either. Thanks Cepopeye.

[Syvo]

Actually I was posting as cepopeye, ho ho. Anyway I'll see you guys tomorrow, ya know...once I confirm they're actually holding open gym.

[short gorilla]

Ha ha ha, ummm.... okay. Good session today. That kicked ass. I'll be going to the Plainwell gym on Monday morning at 9 am, and again at 8 PM if you guys are interested. The morning session is from 9AM until 10:30-11:00AM, or noon, whenever she kicks me out. The evening one is from 8PM-9:30PM. Both sessions are $6. I'll be going to both of them if either of you care.

[Wasted_Savior]

haha =] that stacked mats idea was great, gave me a confidence boost and i swear to god it made short jump higher :ogre:

but im sore as hell! Arrggghaaahhgggghhhhh

[Syvo]

It's kinda nostalgic remembering both that drill and the insane post-soreness afterwards hahaha. Both of you made progress with the move, and if short doesn't get it next time you at least definetly will Pete. It's like right there in front of you and you just have to take it haha. I'll see about Monday morning short. My schedule allows so it's more a matter of how much sleep I end up getting that night, but I'll try and make it. Expect actual confirmation from me later.

[short gorilla]

Yeah, ok. Well I'm drilling those like a monster the next two weeks, as often as I can (almost daily). I was only sore in my abs, and part of that is coming from the TKD class I had yesterday when I was forced to do a lot of ab work and squats.

My shins feel hella better today too.

[Syvo]

In case you didn't get my phone message (because once again you didn't answer), I'm definetly coming tomorrow. You best be there.

[The Tobinator]

You Fags need to come to a gym down here in the Detroit area.

[short gorilla]

In case you check this in the A.M., no I did not get your message because my phone is dead, but I'll hella be there. To get there take 131 south to Plainwell and turn east. Head downtown and turn right on Main St. (also known as 10th St.). Keep going and you'll see it on the left. Dance Dance sign, but the building is called All That Athletics.

Thanks for the directions again, I was about to go look up the gym and find directions since I had most of that written from when you told me, but not all of it. Heading out now...

Oh and Tobinator is a guy in the Detroit area I talked too. He wants me to come down there since I lived/tricked there for like 3 years. Of course once I moved back to GR, all these new tricksters in Detroit started showing up. *sigh*

[short gorilla]

Not a bad session today. I had fun. Hell, I had lots of fun. Hope we can do that again next week. See you Wednesday.

[Syvo]

We are so gay.

[The Tobinator]

And you are.... ?

I'm the one who goes to the southgate gym and Mills. We have had this discussion like 4 times already.

[short gorilla]

.........oh. I don't remember. Well if you're not lying then my bad. Ha ha!

Swartz, we aren't gay. At least not as gay as Bruce Lee. And I did the other open gym at 8PM, did back tucks on the floor, no crash mat. I should have them down in a week or two. WA HA HA HA HA HA!!! I felt high after that. My confidence is through the roof now.

[The Tobinator]

.........oh. I don't remember. Well if you're not lying then my bad. Ha ha!

Oh lol, i talked to Swartz not you. I saw your avatar and didnt make the connection that it wasnt him.

[Syvo]

.........oh. I don't remember. Well if you're not lying then my bad. Ha ha!

Swartz, we aren't gay. At least not as gay as Bruce Lee. And I did the other open gym at 8PM, did back tucks on the floor, no crash mat. I should have them down in a week or two. WA HA HA HA HA HA!!! I felt high after that. My confidence is through the roof now.
I don't believe you, but want to. I just see you doing them with how I was spotting you. Wait, you don't mean land, you mean you TRIED them on the floor without mat and spot. Right? Hahaha. The way you put it could have been interpreted as "I landed backflips and will probably have them down consistently in a week or two." Annnnyywaaay, doesn't matter. That's a big step to be trying them like that. I wonder what the crashes were like hahaha.

[short gorilla]

Actually I didn't crash. I had a spotter but landed a few more or less on my feet. No I didn't do them on my own yet. Dunno if I can come to day, I was throwing up all yesterday and didn't go to FedEx tonight. I'll call to let you guys know for sure.

[Syvo]

Well I'm still going so if you don't reply here in the morning Pete, I'm calling you. Wait why am I telling you that if you won't...nevermind...

[short gorilla]

Listen bro, I know you're gay and all, but I'm still going today. I don't care what your preferences are, even if Jesus has a problem with it. I'll still trick with you today. Just don't try to make me switch teams or anything. Because I'm a man.

[Wasted_Savior]

Jungle love its drivin me mad
Its makin me crazy..

oh shit.. gtfo of my shower
yah i'll be going today although im feelin 70%, i worked 9 hours yesterday doing landscaping, got 80 bucks but the whole time i was shoveling dirt into a truck.. then shoveling dirt out of the truck :ogre: seemed counter productive to me.. it was horrible mentally and physically lol

[Syvo]

YAY!

[short gorilla]

GET ON AIM YOU BITCHES.

[The Tobinator]

You have any pictures of you gym??
Swartz are they better then the ones down here?

[Syvo]

Dude there's like half a dozen gyms I've been to here, but there's 2 in particular we frequent. I'm too lazy to take pics or link you to the sites haha. I don't see that it matters unless you plan to make a trip up here anyway. As far as better or worse than Detroit gyms, it depends. Some gyms are better than others, both in Detroit and Grand Rapids. If Mills in Southgate is still the way it is when I left then it's not better, but Downriver in Riverview is very comparable to at least one of the gyms here.

[xinpridexwefallx]

yep, this sunday to the next one ill be in rockford. for the first time in 2 years. i wonder whats changed..

[Wasted_Savior]

this sunday? as in this week? or next sunday?
because you should come to the gym with us :D

[xinpridexwefallx]

as in ill land at around midnight on sunday, then do my best to avoid irritating relatives as much as possible, then fly out the saturday after that. hopefully, the irritating relatives have forgotten i exist.


oh yea, gym = good.

I might go up there with some of my friends when i get my licence, i doesn't matter if the gym is better or worse anyway, i was just wondering. I don't know what mills was like when you went there but i think its better than Downriver in terms of equipment.

[Syvo]

The equipment may have beenn a little better but not enough for me to squeal over. The main reasons I got sick of going there was:

1) They cut down open gym times, both the amount of sessions per week (used to be 2, then just 1) and the session time from 2 hours to 1.5.

2) They raised their prices.

3) They were strict about you trying stuff and you couldn't spot your own friends (even if you knew how). You needed a coach. Which makes even less sense considering you sign a waiver.

4) Busier and therefore harder to train with that many more kids running around.

Yeah I guess that's it. It's not a BAD gym, just not chill enough to want to train there when Downriver has so many more advantages in comparison. Basically even if Mills does have slightly better equipment, it's stuff that has nothing to do with what I'm interesting in using (plyo floor, mats, and occasionally foam pit). Downriver reigns supreme in all other areas regarding rules, hours, cost, etc.

It doesn't matter anymore seeing as I don't live down there, but yeah. I had 3 years to mess around with gyms there, and that's the way it was when I left.


P.S. I just saw the sampler in your sig, which is cool because it's the first footage I've seen of you guys. Anyway you should make more vids eventually and perhaps not such a crazy editing job next time around haha.

[short gorilla]

Good session today guys. Pete you kicked some ass. I'll prolly be going to All That in the morning, especially if Swartz is going. 9:30.

[The Tobinator]

Thanks lol, thats pretty old now and we are all alot better. We are now more focused on Tricking and less on freerunning. Heres are most recent videos:

ZG2S_RQO_Sw
axyP6eudez4

[Syvo]

Haha that's cool. Well yeah if you wanna make a trip up here we'll work something out. I'll probably be making a trip down to Detroit again SOMETIME, but I don't have specific plans when for the most part. It wouldn't be right away at least. Either way we'll try and meet up before the year is out.

[short gorilla]

So.... Today at 1, right? What was the exit you said I should take this time? To avoid all the pain in my ass?

[Syvo]

Exit Figure-It-Out-Yourself. Oh wait we already discussed this on the phone this morning. FIGURE IT OUT.

[The Tobinator]

I'm going to downriver gym tomorrow and i realized one problem with their open gym. They expect me to get up before 3pm...

[short gorilla]

Syvo are you and Pete going to come to the morning open gym on Monday? Remembers its at 9:30s AMs. Be there or be gay like Bruce Lee.

[Wasted_Savior]

I can't go ='/ im gay like bruce lee

[Syvo]

Quite alright. We keep talking about it but if you want to work in a session in your front yard or something Pete we can. Up to you. Just saying that since next time you'll be doing any tricking with us is Friday. Anyway since I'll be preoccupied with work on Wednesday it's just tomorrow and...yeah okay you know what enough rambling. I'll see ya tomorrow short...you vag. CHEERS. I so wish I could trick shirtless in that gym, then again I'd get even more sweat everywhere. Ain't that a pretty image? So damn hot there! Though it's not as hot this week for the most part...BUT STILL. Do you know when they're supposed to get A/C short? Like preferably before...Fall haha.

[short gorilla]

I have no idea when they are supposed to get A/C. I can find out whenever I talk to Cindy. Also, are you absolutely positive you can't make it to the Wednesday session? What if Pete gets a ride from a family member? GGGRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must trick!!!!!!

[short gorilla]

Better yet, since your main concern (if I remember) about Wednesday was getting to work on time and that picking up Pete might make you late, how about if I pick up Pete? I'll leave hella early, pick him up, get some coffee, then drop him off again after the session? What do you guys think of that? Or you could pick him up and I could drop him off, to save you time. Either one is doable on my part. Let me know.

Well I thought about that, but I wasn't sure you'd be up for that much driving considering how much you have to travel as it is. It's doable if I leave right at 2 and no later. That'd be just enough time to get ready for work. I could pick him up though yeah. Pete? Where are you? What do you think?

[Wasted_Savior]

do we even know if they're gonna have gym on the 4th of july?
Im fine with it but im not so good with directions so i wont be much help.. x.x

[Syvo]

It's extremely easy finding your place and he'll have directions, but you bring up an excellent point. They may not be open due to holidays. Heck, they were closed for less before. To be honest I'm not sure I'd be up for tricking anyway but as far as short providing your transportation if you wanna go, seems reasonable. Either way we need to find out if GU is open tomorrow. According to their website it's schedule for July 4th, but as we all know that info isn't worth a dime.

edit: I called and just got their recorded message. Nothing different and no actual statement about specific days off. I'd have to call tomorrow morning to find out for sure.

[short gorilla]

Please call me at home in the morning after you call. I'll set my alarm and be up anyways, but I figure if you call and I'm not up and ready yet, and there's no open gym, then I can just shut off my alarm since I won't have any other reason to wake up.

[Syvo]

No answer at the gym and I didn't want to go anyway. I hate tricking.

[Wasted_Savior]

im goin to detroit for the weekend so i can't make friday =[

[Syvo]

Golly gee willikers mister. All right. Umm, short are you still up for it then? I'll be there if you are. 1-3

[short gorilla]

Okay, here's the deal. Right now, yes I'm going. But I will call you before I leave, because we have an appointment today to decide if we're waiting any longer or if we are going to have to induce labor, because as of right now Amber is a week over due. So if we decide to induce, depending on when we decide to do it, I may have to cancel today. But either way I will call you before I would leave for G.R., so that you know what's going on. Most likely I will be able to go, because even if we do induce it probably won't be early in the morning. Hell, I might even be able to time it so I get a night off work. :smile:

[Syvo]

I don't care for your latest sig "quote" short. You should get rid of that made-up nonsense.

[The Tobinator]

I love your latest sig "quote" short. You should keep that completely true statement.

Fixed*

[Syvo]

Tobinator, I can't tell you how weird it is to watch your gif because it looks exactly like some of my videos I made from when I was tricking at Mills hahaha. Hey you can 540...yay. Man I need to take a trip down to Detroit. Ray is back now so I was hoping to set up a session with him and the other guys. Do you realize how many are doing it now at Downriver? At least last I knew. Sounds like you don't really interact with that group much. It's pretty much you and your own little group just at Mills mostly right?

[short gorilla]

I don't think I'll be able to have any sessions again until Wednesday, unless we don't have the baby this weekend as planned, in which case we'll be going back to the hospital again on Wednesday. In that case I couldn't trick until Friday.

[The Tobinator]

Well when we first started going to downriver i did notice a lot of people at different sessions. There was Ray and like four of his friends, these three other kids, and a couple more people.(I should start remembering names..) There is also a small group at Mills too, i would say five or six, but they keep to themselves. We try to go to both gyms but we do go to Mills more. We were planning on going to Downriver on Saturday but apparently they are not open on Saturday or Sunday now. Mills also has very weird times for open gym now, so we should be going to pretty much every Downriver open gym from now on, so we should see more of them. We are definitely going on the 13th so if you go then we will be there. Do the gyms up there do the same thing?

I kind of rambled there but you get what I'm saying. My knees have also been messed up so I'm resting now, but we will probably end up tricking together in the next month or two hopefully.

Dude the hours at gyms always change for the summer, but they'll go back to the old or something different once school starts again. Always happens. Same thing here. They either increase sessions or decrease them. Anyway, I work nights mostly and especially Fridays, so I usually have to request Fridays off in advance and the 13th is only a week away. I need at least 2 weeks advance notice, so if you plan on something to take place a little later I can see about getting it off.

This is the first summer that i have ever went to gym's so i just found out about the gay changes. The amount of gym went down by like 75%. Were going on the 27th too, so you might be able to come then. Basically every gym is on friday now down here.

[Syvo]

Which one are you planning on going to for the 27th? Also, what's the cost now and the time of the session?

[The Tobinator]

The 13th and 27th are Downriver, Theres one at Mills on the 20th. At downriver its from 1pm to 3pm and I'm guessing its still Eight dollars with the membership. And i think to buy a membership its 10 dollars.

Calender:

[Syvo]

Actually screw it. I totally forgot I have stuff going down on the 27th and 28th, so that won't work for me anyway. I guess August sometime would be next opportunity.

[Wasted_Savior]

swartz is throwing the crumpled pages of the diaries of fat kids at cancer patients, since he's busy i figured id post and see how the babbeh situation is goin? =]

[short gorilla]

Well guys Blake was born on Monday, at 10:06 am. He weighed 8lbs 7oz at birth, and is 20 inches long. He has a full head of hair and even some hair on his back, just like me. He is awesome.

I just got home this morning, and I'll be going to the open gym tonight in Plainwell if you guys are interested. It starts at 8 PM.

[Syvo]

Ho ho! How was your solo session then short? I knew I wouldn't make it, I didn't get out of work till 10:30. Well I decided to do my leg workout last night so I'm not doing crap on Friday except spotting you jerks (if you're both still planning on it). Oh and glad I know his name is Blake now. I don't recall you stating his name on the phone, short. Of course I didn't ask either. Yay for short and short jr.

I mean Blake. You're a dad now. I guess that means I'm going to have to take you more SERIOUSLY now. Being a daddy is SERIOUS BUSINESS.

[short gorilla]

Ha ha! Yeah it sure is.

I didn't wind up going because Amber had to sleep while the baby slept, so I had to stick around to make sure that he didn't wake her up. But I am definitely going on Friday, and I'm going to try to go to Plainwell today. Laters.

[Wasted_Savior]

swartz your comin to pick me up right? im in withdrawl from tricking =[ i need to go friday/today

[Gazapo]

I just realized this thread has 586 posts. Holy shit. (That is all)

Hello Syvo.

[Swartz]

Yeah it's like our own Michigan Tricking Squad forum, it's a constant chat and nobody seems to notice/care until they actually look at it, hahaha. Hi formerly ats- ho ho.

Oh and Pete yes yes will do. I'm not doing crap myself though cause my legs are screaming at me. All in all I'm really unmotivated to go but you guys want your backtucks and whatnot, so don't waste my time being scared or hesitant!

[short gorilla]

Oh fuck, like I'm scared anymore. I'm going to bust a move and what-not. I wonder if that kid we met last week will be there.

Oh, and news! I'm getting the job at All That Athletics after all. I'll tell you more tomorrow, but yeah. Kick ass.

[Wasted_Savior]

Short chip in a few dollars so we can get shirts that say "i survived a shitty backtuck"

[Swartz]

I just have to say it again:

SHORT, THAT WAS THE WORST ATTEMPT I'VE EVER SEEN!

[short gorilla]

The funny thing is I didn't get hurt doing it or anything. I still am not sure how I managed to make that one attempt so bad, but, yeah. My Mac & Cheese is done, so later losers.

[The Tobinator]

The Downriver session on Friday was Badass. All you n words need to get down here!

[Swartz]

I think Ray mentioned going to a session on Friday or...well was he there?

[The Tobinator]

Yeah he was. Him, the white guy thats always there and two other kids. Corey and Zach i think were their names. Whats the white guys name, for some reason i'm thinking Steve.

[Swartz]

If he's tall and has black hair then his name is Mike. He and Ray were the main ones to trick after I left. Everybody else joined in on it later.

Anyway, when I come down I want Ray to be at the session and that's why it probably won't be until September or something at the earliest. Still that's not too far in the future, but a specific date will have to be set up with everybody and hopefully the session isn't canceled by the people working their at the last minute. As long as I got a couple weeks advance notice I'll be able to work it out. Short mentioned wanting to tag along, though I don't know about Pete. It'll either be just me or 3 of us coming down total. Not sure yet.

[The Tobinator]

Alright i guess we will have to wait until September. All of you should come down. I could get 6 or 7 of my people + you 3 + Ray and the other 3 people. It would be like a mini gathering.

[short gorilla]

Short come trick too. Short kinda suck but want come anyway.

[The Tobinator]

You and Wasted should both come.

[Wasted_Savior]

id like to go, but shit comes up so well have to wait and see :eh:

[The Tobinator]

What could be more important than hanging out and tricking with some bros?

[Swartz]

Shut up fool. Tricking isn't life!

[The Tobinator]

How dare you Swartz. Tricking for life!

[short gorilla]

STFU EVERYBODY!!! TRICKING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!! I WILL GIVE YOUR FACE THE MEANING OF POUNDS AND CRUSHING!!!!!

[The Tobinator]

Tricking = Serious Business.

SWARTZ IS SO POPULAR

[Wasted_Savior]

SWARTZ IS SO POPULAR

only with small children

[The Tobinator]

I heard Swartz almost landed a backflip once.

[Andy Longcat]

hahaha

What an achievement

(for Swartz, I mean)

[short gorilla]

Swartz you missed a good session today. Not many kids there to take up space on the floor. I'll be going again tonight at 8:30, but you prolly work, and it will be crowded anyways. I'm not going to tell you what I did, but let's just say it was a very productive session for me. WA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[The Tobinator]

When you guys finally do get down here, Who's bringing the mangos?

[Swartz]

No I didn't. I would have been a disaster so no matter how ideal the conditions it would have been a terrible session for me, haha.

Let me guess, you landed on your feet during a spotted backtuck! Yay! Of course if you actually landed one on your own I'm impressed.

[short gorilla]

I'm going to be at the gym again tonight (Tuesday night) at 8/8:30 for an hour and a half. Then Wednesday night if I don't kill myself at our noon session at G.U. there's another open gym at 8 PM in Plainwell. I'm getting a lot of practice in. I kick ass.

Also I start work there in August. They will be having me coach boy's gymnastics to start (after some training stuff), and running Friday night open gyms. Then after my instructor in Allegan gives me the go-ahead I'll start teaching Karate there too. Woot for Short!!!

[Wasted_Savior]

short you should go to pro wrestling school, i can totally imagine you doing high risk moves at a special event for the intercontinental championship :ogre:

your signature move will be btwist to human crash mat

[The Tobinator]

Damn you guys get a lot of open gyms. Were lucky if we get one a week.

[Swartz]

And the infamous frontflip cannon headbutt

Damn you guys get a lot of open gyms. Were lucky if we get one a week.

No just short, he lives further away and found a gym he can frequent, but not us in GR. Okay so we have more than one possible open gym time a week during the summer but when it goes back to normal hours we're usually only able to fit in one a week. For the most part we get 1-2 sessions a week, it's fluctuated a lot so on average I think I'm going once a week.

LUCKY MY ASS. What's lucky is the fact you have like a dozen tricksters to train with down there if you want. I've found other guys around here but lost contact and so it's really just us 3 here.

I guess thats true. Don't you guys ever trick on grass?

[short gorilla]

No. Well, we haven't yet. Not as a group.

[Wasted_Savior]

swartz! i just realized when i went through my old videos that you stopped sending out footage of our sessions, it makes me sad =[ because all i have to look at is old videos of me sucking ~hint hint, cough cough, wink wink~

[The Tobinator]

I want to see some clips of you guys tricking

[Swartz]

Okay guys. Tomorrow 12-2 at G.U. Hopefully they're open. I'll call ahead unless short beats me to it or something. Either way we'll get ahold of each other if it's a GO. Are you both in? I know Short is but I don't remember finding out from you yet Pete. I'm ready to trick again. HARD. HARD AS MY...nevermind.

swartz! i just realized when i went through my old videos that you stopped sending out footage of our sessions, it makes me sad =[ because all i have to look at is old videos of me sucking ~hint hint, cough cough, wink wink~
Yeah I know man. I have like 4-5 sessions of footage to capture haha. Of course it's a lot more wasted and useless footage than previous times but I'm still meaning to capture it. I'll try to dedicate a big part of a day to capturing all of it and uploading for you guys. Sometime in the near future. I got that film shoot this weekend (oh wait you don't know about that, but short does) but I might be able to get it all out before the week is over. I'll see.

I want to see some clips of you guys tricking
Trust me, I have a whole slew of training clips but if we were to present ourselves it'd have to be better than just sending that crap around, especially when there's so much haha. Short and Pete/W_S are beginners (well hell I still feel like one) but they have a few basics up their sleeves now and both will have backflips soon (RIGHT GUYS?). Anyway...we'll see about getting some footage for you before any of us come to Detroit to visit. Give you an idea of who we all are and whatnot.

ALSO, you need to return the favor. I saw little of you guys and I don't really feel it was enough. Maybe get some footage from your gym sessions or something, but hell, anything is good.

Oh and you asked about grass tricking. I've tricked on grass a total of twice this year and it was during my little trip to Wisconsin early May. It's a weird tricking year for me in that way. Previous years, especially when I first started it was all mostly grass. I guess I'm spoiled with the gym. Grass tricking is fun but it's discouraging when I don't really have much of a yard to speak of and have to travel to some park to do so. Otherwise I'd do it much more.

[short gorilla]

Yeah I'm going. See you there ladies.

[The Tobinator]

Well ill try to get some footage this Friday but we usually have an issue getting a camera. We have a usb camera but we never get to use it, and we have a DV camera but we don't have a firewire cable to capture the footage we have. We have some good footage on it to :(

[Swartz]

THEN GET A FIREWIRE CABLE AND A FIREWIRE PORT ON YOUR PC (unless you already have the port).

[The Tobinator]

Its Like 50 Dollars for the cable at the stores. Ill Have to get it online. I don't know if i should show you the videos though. You might get intimidated by how good we are and not want to come down here.

[short gorilla]

I don't know if i should show you the videos though. You might get intimidated by how good we are and not want to come down here.

Oh you guys are so funny.

[The Tobinator]

So funny i forgot to laugh! I'm bored. I guess ill go play some Shenmue :cool:

[short gorilla]

Swartz you dumbass. Basic kicks? Your form is shite. You can't even do a proper hook. Looooooooser.

[Swartz]

Do you not know how to read? I said you have better basics. You're acting like I was talking about myself, haha.

[Flowers]

So my dad speaks at camps all over michigan, if I went up with him I might be able to stop by for some gym time with you guys.

Anyone heard of Catubic? or Portage Lake?

[Swartz]

No so they must all be over an hour away. Also, why does your dad "speak at gyms"

[Flowers]

Camps.

Mostly Christian camps. He's like a well known speaker or something.

Portage lake has a skate park. I'll look it up

What the hell does a skate park have to do with all this? Also, unless it's in Grand Rapids, none of this is relevant to begin with. QUIT WASTING MY TIME Towlie.

[Xavier]

Towlie, tell your dad to take you to south eastern MI. Tricking is more important than your father's Christian beliefs.

So funny i forgot to laugh! I'm bored. I guess ill go play some Shenmue :cool:
Shenmue sucks. Just like your backflips! OH SHIT!

[The Tobinator]

Shenmue sucks. Just like your backflips! OH SHIT!

Both of those statements are completely FALSE.

[Swartz]

Yeah if by "friends" you mean "enemies"

[Xavier]

Towels gets on break.com. I'm just going to record him the whole day and make $400. :good:

I don't mind him to much. He can come watch us Trick, and we can watch him do gymnastics.

[Flowers]

lol "but wait, His form sucks, so the gymnastics comment is too good for him"

shit, do people even watch my videos? haha

[Swartz]

shit, do people even watch my videos? haha

Yes, unfortunately.

[Flowers]

how ,swartz, will I ever earn your respect?

[Swartz]

That's pretty much impossible, Towlie.

[The Tobinator]

Towlie never gets a break.

[short gorilla]

Hell, Swartz doesn't even respect me. Not that I really did anything to deserve any respect, but meh. Swartz, how's your project going? Can you come to Plainwell on Monday morning? How does Wednesday look for everyone? Discuss!

[The Tobinator]

Swartz will respect me! If he knows whats good for him.

[short gorilla]

Where the hell is Swartz and why isn't he responding. Summoning Jutsu! Swartz!!!!

[Wasted_Savior]

Where the hell is Swartz and why isn't he responding. Summoning Jutsu! Swartz!!!!

We chased him off, he now lives in kansas and his new name is ttam ztraws

[short gorilla]

I'd buy that.

[Swartz]

I spend my entire last Fri, Sat, and Sun doing that film of course, haha. I really didn't do much else those days since it was an all day thing, and my brother just got home on leave from Iraq yesterday so I've been hanging with him and family. Basically the internet, tricking and even lifting haven't been thought of for several days now. As far as Wednesday goes, uh, yeah I guess. I'm not sure if I'm up for it or not depending on what's going on here at home. Even though the film is done, the fact that my brother is home means my priority is still not here. I'm definetly not good for Friday or Saturday. Well no, Friday maybe cause I won't be doing anything until later in the evening probably.

Wednesday and Friday are both possible with my work schedule so it's more dependent on what I feel like doing. I'll let you guys know for sure about Wednesday tonight maybe.

[short gorilla]

SO? It's well past tonight, which was last night, and now it's this morning. Are you going? If not, Pete are you going? Can you get a ride without Swartz? What's the deal?

[Wasted_Savior]

i just woke up and its noon.. i don't think i'll make it..

[short gorilla]

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't happen today. That's okay I have open gym at Plainwell tonight so I can still do some flippage. Hopefully Swartz will be back to normal scheduling and stuff next week.

[The Tobinator]

So, whats up with you brosif's. What tricks have you been trying?

[short gorilla]

I've been drilling basics, I'm pretty limited so far. Back tucks, working towards aerials, aubatidos, building up to a jacknife. I do a lot of kicks too, I'm heavily in the martial arts. Tae kwon do and Karate. I work on front tucks sometimes too, but it's kind of a joke because my front tucks resemble that barrel roll attack that Blanka does on Street Fighter 2.

[Swartz]

You're not building up to a jacknife short, haha. You need to learn the basic 540 and c720 first then you could say you're working towards it. Anyway, I obviously wasn't doing it Wednesday and I'm certainly not tomorrow, and I don't know what'll be going down the week after with my brother still here so don't plan on anything. If I think I can make a session I'll announce it first, otherwise you guys will have to figure out a way to go places yourselves. Been really preoccupied with stuff here lately, between the film and then family. It's a nice change. Only checked this forum in the last week just for this thread and that's it.

[The Tobinator]

You're not building up to a jacknife short, haha. You need to learn the basic 540 and c720 first then you could say you're working towards it.

Dont you tell him what he can and cannot build up!

[Swartz]

It's like me saying I'm building up for a 1080 twist when I can't even do a regular hypertwist.

[The Tobinator]

A Man Can Dream!

[short gorilla]

Swartz is being stupid. I'm working on a sprial hook a lot that I lead into with a round kick, and the only thing I need to do to make it a jacknife is lead into that with a spinning hook. I could debate this all day with him.

Anyhoo, I'm still going to Plainwell alot so if you need another week off thats fine, I'll prolly have some new moves by the time we get back together then.

[short gorilla]

*bump*

So Swartz, still planning on not tricking this week?

[mrbrent]

I'll be tricking in Warren on August 21st, if anybody wants to join. Also, if you guys wanna get together and trick sometime between the 18th and the 28th I can probably go.

How would it be a jacknife by starting it with a spinning hook? You don't even do jacknifes with a spin hook. The jacknife is a hybrid between a 540 and a c720. Being able to do both is necessary to do a jacknife haha. It starts like a 540, ends as a c720. There's no possible way you can learn to jacknife without actually being able to do both of those. You can spiral hook all you want, but if you want a jacknife you gotta get those 2 basics kick tricks down first. I'm confused why you think you can sorta slid into that move like it has a back door, haha. No shortcuts with that move. Unless I'm just misinterpreting everything you're saying, but you said nothing about actually learning a 540 or c720. Just "addding a sprial hook to the beginning instead of an inside round." Makes no sense. Yes I insist on a debate! Or argument! Either one works!

I'll be tricking in Warren on August 21st, if anybody wants to join. Also, if you guys wanna get together and trick sometime between the 18th and the 28th I can probably go.
I'll be quite preoccupied that day, so another day in that timeframe will have to do. 21st I already know specifically to be a no-go for me though. Wait, isn't Warren closer to Detroit? Well whatever, doesn't matter either way.

[The Tobinator]

Maybe with us, but i have no idea when the next time were going to a gym or anything is, so ill have to find out first.

[Swartz]

Pete and short, this Wednesday seems fine for me to go to G.U. if either or both of you is good for it. How about it?

[The Tobinator]

I just landed a cartwheel!

[short gorilla]

I'm down for Wednesday. See you there.

[Wasted_Savior]

I'm down for Wednesday. See you there.

oh, oh, OH, me too! ME TOO!!

and you'll be happy to know my road is paved :ogre:

[Swartz]

Right on. I'll call you when I'm leaving to get ya Pete.

[Xavier]

I just landed a cartwheel!

Can you make me a tutorial?

[Swartz]

Oh he'll make you a "tutorial" all right!

[The Tobinator]

I don't know if i could yet...I just landed it and its still pretty sketchy. Swartz why don't you do it, i heard yours were pretty good. Now if only you could land that frontflip!!

[short gorilla]

I'll do it.

Swartz you coming Monday?

[Swartz]

For crying out loud you just asked me that 24 hours ago short, and I told you I'd let you know on Sunday most likely. I want to and can but it depends on how I'm doing the night before.
I don't know if i could yet...I just landed it and its still pretty sketchy. Swartz why don't you do it, i heard yours were pretty good. Now if only you could land that frontflip!!

I already can do frontflips silly. Well most of the time on plyo anyway.

[The Tobinator]

Swartz, i challenge you to a battle.

[Swartz]

You could have just deleted your post ya know. Oh and yes you may challenge me when I come down. I WILL KICK YOUR ASS. Not really.

Oh and I hear you and your team sorta keep to yourselves at Downriver, even with the other guys there during the same session? Why? Go trick with 'em haha. They don't care what your skill level is. They just wanna have fun, and you'd all learn from each other more too. Shoot, when I come down you better join the whole group, but it'd be cool if you guys started doing that now.

We usually do trick with them, like the session before last i was with them almost the whole day, but last session was horrible. I felt terrible and was really doing anything at all. Also there was a ton of people there, not including the trickers. The floor was pretty much completely covered so i was either just sitting on the other side of the gym or just watching them. I didn't really do anything at all that day. My legs are pretty fucked to, so I'm trying to rest them so they don't hurt next gym.

[Swartz]

You're describing one day, but from what I was told it was a routine thing. Either way I don't see how any of those circumstances should prevent you from chillin' with them. They have to deal with the same stuff as you guys afterall. I highly encourage it though. Oh and I hear you guys battled. Hope you didn't take it too seriously, haha. They didn't.

[The Tobinator]

Team LD tricks when they want, where they want, how they want, and with who they want to!

I'm really new to everything and am both exited and eager to learn with someone.

[The Tobinator]

Were on the southeast side. Near Detroit.

[ThrusH]

Thats perfect for august at least. I'm around the Farmington area for another 15 days, then I move back up to East Lansing for school.

How often do you guys get together?

[The Tobinator]

The only time that we actually have planned is when we going to gyms. Were going to downriver gym the 13th, but its 18 dollars.

http://www.downrivergymnastics.com/

[Swartz]

What's this 18 dollar crap?

Oh and short, of course I'm going. 9:30 is it? Am I picking you up again or meeting you there? If you see this call me or...I might read it.

Xavier, how the hell do you think I look like Tony Hawk? Hahaha, you haven't seen me either. I've been compared to worse though.

They want you to pay $10 to become a member, and then $8 for the actual gym. You could just try to say you already are a member if you're not, worked for one of our friends.

Also, I seen the uber death party video, in which, you look like Tony Hawk.

I've recently come to realize that Swartz is a perfect Hybrid between The Harry Potter Kid and Tony Hawk.

[Swartz]

No actually you're both wrong. Pete's the only one with an accurate comparison. I most closely resemble Napolean Dynamite. There were no close-ups in Uber Death Party, Xavier. Judging my appearance from that video is pretty much worthless, haha.

[short gorilla]

No, bro. That Percy pic is very you. You don't look like Napoleon, whoever originally said you do was full of S-word.

No! Grand Rapids! He should come to G.R. Well actually Detroit is closer to Ann Arbor but G.R. is supreme.

[short gorilla]

G.R. is supreme. It's okay Swartz, I did a double shift last night and I'm tired as hell and my back hurts and my feet are killing me. I'll prolly go to open gym tonight in Plainwell at 8:00 if either of you can go which I assume you can't.

pffft. Detroit would destroy G.R anyday. Kind of like me beating Swartz in a tricking battle.

[Swartz]

YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE. Oh and short I would have liked to do that tonight seeing as I'm off work but the fact remains my tailbone feels very violated. I totally smashed it somehow, haha. Went to South Haven beach yesterday with fam the whole day (and threw some backflips too).

[The Tobinator]

I eat pieces of Swartz like you for breakfast!

[short gorilla]

You eat pieces of Swartz for breakfast? *shakes head*

Swartz I didn't even go. Slept through my alarm.

[Kitosho]

I'm moving down into the central Detroit area next month, right by the main Wayne State campus. Does anyone know of any good tricking spots down there?

[The Tobinator]

A good tricking spot would be a nice field of grass. A good free running spot would be some of the buildings. No, i don't know any good spots.

[Swartz]

He probably meant gyms too, in which case there's Mills Gymnastics in Southgate and Downriver in Riverview.

You can search around on local city maps for parks. You might find a decent field of grass at one if it's big enough. There's a lot of options if you actually try looking around. I went to one particular place and got away with tricking there a lot only to find out I wasn't allowed to (not a public park apparently). Didn't really stop me though, haha

[Gazapo]

right on. it's about 45 mins from detroit seems like. perhaps possible but i havent tricked in like...over a year at least haha. we'll see.

[Wasted_Savior]

Whats the thoughts for friday guys?

[Swartz]

It's not happening for me. You and short will have to work something out if you want to trick.

[Wasted_Savior]

It's not happening for me. You and short will have to work something out if you want to trick.

oh no, Swartz is quitting tricking!

[short gorilla]

He might be. He's a bitch.

[Swartz]

Tricking isn't priority for me but that's not the reason for Friday. I already have plans for the morning.

[The Tobinator]

Tricking isn't priority for me

Tricking is life!

Also have you guys ever had any serious injury's from tricking?

[Wasted_Savior]

alright i acquired a ride to A&B for 1-3 open gym.. if im going to the wrong place or wrong time.. im going to kill someone..

Your serious injury is called being lazy.

[The Tobinator]

I don't have a "serious" injury. Your serious injury is being a pussy. Maybe if you tried some tricks every once and a while you could do something.

[Wasted_Savior]

no serious injuries yet, but i've got a loose joint disorder so i expect i'll need surgery before i hit 25

so worth it though

[Gazapo]

so worth it though

not too sure about that...haha my knee sucks ass now since i snapped my pcl a couple years ago.

[short gorilla]

Pete, I can't come today. I have some things to take care of around the house. I think I just want to get a fresh start on Monday. I will plan on Wednesday and Friday next week and specifically set aside that time. This week was a bad week for me for everything, too much crazyness going on at once. Hopefully things will go better next week.

[Wasted_Savior]

:dead:

[The Tobinator]

Hooray! we can finally start to discuss this "gathering" that we are going to have thats probably never going to happen again!!

[short gorilla]

Swartz you're a tool. We need to have a session in G.R. at least once this week. Especially Pete.

[The Tobinator]

Swartz quit all that BS your doing and get to fucking tricking. Go do a cork or something.

[Wasted_Savior]

i can't do weds, we better work something out for friday though!
