Yesterday I stayed awake and went tricking with this kid Luis. Unfortunately I couldn't gather myself to go to the session later that night. Today the crew had their last practice before the jam, so I tagged along to go over my tricks.
I just practiced pretty light. Still not hitting the 90 or hollowback from the mill holding my leg. My power is fairly on except for 2000 > headpose > halos. For some reason I'm not dropping down into the pose balanced. Not too confident about those moves, but I think I have enough to put on a show. Speaking of show, the battle may come down to rocking a showcase to make it to another crew. There's alot up in the air about the team I'm supposed to be a part of. The point of this trip was to gain experience and see a new scene. So I won't be too upset not to battle, but I need more experience. Goodnight.
Colorado - Day 3
Super fun out here and getting to know the inner workings of Soul Mechanincs. Vee and I were sessioning right quick in his crib on some carpet. :) No shoes on, but I only hurt myself minimally. It felt like a good warm up for the practice later tonight. I hope to get alot of power in today and clean it up. I'm going to look over my notes and see what tricks I can dig up and clean up.
Ok so alot went on today. I hit the studio practice and it went well. The A squad for Soul Mechanics was practicing routines through a mock battle and I took the opportunity to join the opposing side. I wanted to show my stuff and get front row seating on their routines. Later that night (tomorrow morning) I sessioned with Cuba and Future for a good while in his parent's mansion. We danced for a good hour and a half before we waited for the sun to come up. Highlights: flares (on beat) > flare drop back > swipe > halo.

Colorado - Day 2
Hiked a mountain, ate, napped then sessioned at the studio of soul mechanics crew.
Unrealated: Had a rib from Texas Steakhouse after waking up in the middle of the night, then went back to sleep and promptly had a dream I was in a situation akin to Yagami Light at the end of Death Note. Less killing, but I was slinging drugs as well. A compelling tragedy set mainly in my apartment that has me feeling ashamed and awake.
The hiking was super fun and it cost nothing but some sweat. They call the route I went up the Incline and then I went back down the Barr Trail. So much natural scenery, I had to rethink my love affair with urban landscape. Ate ribs at Texas Steakhouse, but I wasn't very hungry and I felt like I overate a bit. So the itis set in and I wound up being late to their rehearsal. I hit a little bit of stuff but I certainly didn't pop off like I usually do. I think we need to listen to different music. I knew like zero of the tracks they played and I didn't think alot of them were very good. In their defense, I did arrive late and they were lightly practicing routines.
Colorado - Day 1
Cyphering at this bar with some Colorado heads.
Fun times, the DJ played a good amount of breaks and there were some heads with skill there. Cuba and Vee were there and I met Anthony and this black dude whose name I'm blanking on right now. The altitude makes it feel like for every 4 breaths I've only taken 3. That kills my recovery; I think that I've rested long enough, but my body hasn't recouped the oxygen lost. I wanted to try to hit the mountain trail that Vee was telling me about but he fell back asleep and I didn't want to wake him. The next practice here is supposed to be a serious one, so I hope this mini strain in my groin goes away with a good warm up.
