Hi all!

My name is TamÃ¡s Papp I live in Debrecen, Hungary. firstly sorry because of my english
its not my first language. So im 23 years old and I have been playing for a half year.
My flipside is my left.
I play with a 4 cm diameter ultrsuede light bag, filled with 3.175 mm diameter steel
bearing ball (65 g) and I use quantum 02. I play almost every day 1-3 hours.

Moves list:

atw /bs /both dir

near pickup /bs
clipper /bs
mirage /bs
near mirage /bs
pdx mirage /bs

spinning clipper /bs

dlo /ss

torque /ss
sidewalk /ss

In my sessions I play a lot tiltless and few times I try some bigger stuffs.
In tiltless I can 10-20 contact but I think sometimes my play not enough smooth, and
sometimes I lose the control after few contacts. Before yesterday yesterday I've hit
sidewalk and yesterday ripwalk. This was one of my dream

ohhhh, I'm looking forward to the time when I can 6-8 consecutive ripwalk. I hope I'll
hit it in this year

Today I recorded my sidewalk and ripwalk. Its good??

bump...

so im back.......

I had a really important exam and I didn't have time to write my blog but I can now. Im done with my exam it was physical chemistry and I will be chemist in one year. So Im really happy because I may deal with things that I like. Its preparative synthetic organic chemistry, I make natural organic compuunds, its really interesting.

I was playing while I prepared for my exam.

I've hit swirl yesterday (midtime) on my strongside and ducking butterfly from outside stall (just for fun

).

And I think my game improved a little I can do more contact and I feel myself more comfortable during shred. Here is rainy week now so I think I can't play outside in this year and my room is not enough big but I can (and I will) practice the basics epecially atws, osis, ducking, diving components, and my friend has a basement however I can be playing there few times.

Yesterday I got a bag from Hania and now I know how is a good bag. No, not good, its GREAT!!!
I've hit with it 15-20 op clipper and I really feel the haniabag when I play with it. I think I just never had a "normal" bag, I bought my prevorius bags from a Hungarian kid before that. And they material was ultrasuede but his bags is not good, I think. The last bag was ultrasuede light and it got hole after few days, I picked it up with my hands always.
Anyway I have the right bag now so I am very happy.

I was wondering I should make a new video because my last video what you can watch on youtube is old and my game improved since then.
So I think I'll make a video soon, maybe this week, so you can see my progress.

now im back to shred........

I had a good session yesterday. just practiced tiltless and i had few 20+ contacts. I recorded new entry for my long video but i think i can make it later. I've hit also a new trick---> dyno

so Im finished my video what I made last week and few records today. the editing is not so good because I dont have enough RAM on my computer so I can use a cool videoeditor program and I recorded with a fotomachine and I was able to record it until only 15 minutes with this machine. Its made me nervous because hurry hurry hurry, but its ok, I think I'll buy a normal camera and if I have it I can record all of my session. I recorded the outside game in a park, the inside one though in my friend's basement. He has playing about two months and he can atws, legovers, mirages, pickups both side but he dont want to record himself. YET.........

I play with a haniabag now and I think I never had a good bag before that. Its so nice and soft and stallable and it improved my game. Not only stalls but also the kicks. And its more durable than my prevorius bags. So HANIABAG RULES!!!!

about my shred: I think my current level is ok after 7 months but I think I do too many toe stalls with my left foot. I'll try to avoid this in the future. My clippers is not enough good particularly my left (it is my flipside) sometimes my clipper stalls not enough smooth but I practice ss and op clippers very hard. Im not both sided in 3 and 4 add tricks so I'll learn all of my tricks on flipside in winter. Also my plan for winter I'll practice atws flipside because I cant hit 10 atws on my flip. I think its not ok. Also I'll practice infinitys my current record is 6-7 and its not smooth enough.

what the video does not contain:

swirl ( my swirl is really weak yet but I posted it in my blog)

pixie ss osis

diving butterfly

dada curve ( I dont like this trick I think its just an add hunter trick)

ripwalk (its weak a little)

symp mirage

so here is it----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO-CUrHHWx0

I hope you'll enjoy it
