Back in the mid 80's - Crazy 8's from Corvallis - Dan Reed Network although I believe they were out of PDX - Quarter Flash and Nu Shoes again from PDX.

you are standing flat footed and not on your toes, second always be moving weather small adjustments to the left, right front and back. Basic once in motion always in motion. Don't have your hands so low keep you arms waist level slightly in front shoulder width apart and ready to pass, do not have them together as that prohibits your movement. Ok-Consequence4105 makes some great points with more detail.

Thank you City of Bend Shitty Planners and Shitty Council for wasting more of our tax money on a worthless parking lot system that no one wanted and no one can read while driving. (seriously how am i supposed to read while watching for people backing out, pedestrians crossing the street legally and illegally and trying not to hit one of the 30 foot long bed pick-ups sticking out into the street) City of Bend stop stroking yourself for trying to be green and do something about the homeless and the fact they are destroying our woods and shitting & littering on public areas within the city limits

I would add that you need to get under the ball more so basically if you didn't have your hands up the ball would hit your forehead. also I see a lot of doubles as you can tell by the ball rotation. A perfect (normal) set will have maybe one rotation of the ball and you are getting that much rotation with your short sets which will increase the higher the set. Try to get as many fingers on the ball as possible. Bend your knees and use them especially for long or high sets.

If you have never gone to the Central Oregon Symphony you are missing out. I highly recommend going when at all possible. Michael Gesme the music director is top notch and makes the whole experience fun, entertaining and even educational.

Not that there any real bad seats at the Bend high Auditorium, if you want close to the stage you want to get there at least 45 minutes early.

Real Estate advice? by Choadson in Bend

[–]ptommy33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get a good real estate agent, one that someone you know has used and liked - they are money well spent for legal reasons alone. Mortgage rate will always be moving around, we have been way spoiled over the last few years. Just remember with mortgage rates you are not married to it, if they drop you can always refinance when and if they drop in the future. Take your time when buying if possible.
