Just don't forget our "deal" if Matti is in the final ;) Shipping M&M's aint cheap.
What if Matti got to the final but somehow "wouldn't be able" play? Is that enough?

And what do I get if I stick to "the plan"? Would you mind travelling to Calgary and getting Kiprusoff's autograph for me? :wink:

Sunday, November 27th

We had two sessions.

The first one was in the afternoon at Arena Center. It was me, Jani, Janne, Matti Pohjola, Oskari Forstén and Tapio Karhunen present. (The last three from Turku area.) Good training for the Finnish Open which is in a week! I played for the first time ...

Sunday, November 13th

Me, Jani, Jukka and Janne playing. Tuomas and Jaakko not.

I cannot say it wasn't fun. It always is. But frankly I thought about going home after an hour. My legs felt so heavy and nothing really worked for me. I was still exhausted after running my ass off in two floorball ...

Sunday, October 30th

Me, Jani, Jaakko, (Jukka and Tuomas not playing), Liukko brothers, Timo Vorne and Mikko Poikonen.

We had four visitors from Jyväskylä. The games were decent. Jyväskylä posse had improved quite a bunch. What else? ...Good ping-pong (table tennis) games between the net matches!

Man, it must be nice to have more than yourself to play with ;)
Yep. Although, I'm kind of used to playing with meself. :)

Oh, and did I mention Mikka Kiprusoff is a fag?
Yep. He used to do threesomes with Matti and Oskari while living in Turku. :cry: ...Or was it his older brother Marko? He's ...

Sunday, October 23rd

Me, Janne, Jani, Jaakko, Jukka and Tuomas Karki!

First five played and Tuomas was working with his knee. No drills whatsoever, just playing doubles as usual. Good games, nothing special. I think five players is ideal for a two hour session. It was also good to see Tuomas ...

Yes, it was fun. My legs were a bit numb for driving the whole day, but anyway we had some good games. I'm not sure if I'm getting a bit old, but I thought two hours was just a bit too much for me this time. 8O Or maybe it just was the driving. :wink: But seriously, if we have a two hour session it ...

Is ther going to be Team Jesse ?!!

Siistii!

I've played since 1996 or 1997. I competed the first time in 1997 Worlds.
I played also freestyle in 1997 Finnish Footbag Championships ...but not after that anymore.

Sorry 'bout your trip. They SHOULD compensate it somehow! Just full refund is extremely bad customer service and I don't think Aurinkomatkat can afford to lose ANY customers because of bad service. Not to mention they wouldn't just lose you because you are already spreading the word!

I know me and ...

This one is for you, Ben:

Nimeni on Ben ja minä rakastan pukeutua tyttöystäväni alusvaatteisiini, ne saavat minut tuntemaan itseni niin kauniiksi ja naiselliseksi.
Olen myös tatuoinut pyllyyni Calgary Flamesin logon, koska minulle Flames sekä karvainen perse ovat kaksi ihaninta asiaa maailmassa ...

Sunday, Oct 9th

Me, Jani, Jaakko and Janne.

We mixed the pairs all the time and had good matches. Somehow my team was always 5-0 or something down in the beginning, but the games turned out to be pretty even in the end, however. I guess I need to have a mountain to climb before I get going.

Good ...

I'm there. I'm at the very last position after Wednesday. Wankers is my team as you might have guessed.

I'm impressed! You're getting better than Steve Goldberg with your Finnish!

The other guys went on to book another weekly training session on Fridays. It is not suitable time for me and that makes it impossible for me to write any commentary on Friday sessions. Hopefully somebody else does that.

Anyway:

Sunday, October 2nd

Attendance: Me, Jani, Janne, Jaakko and Jukka ...

Free Karhu for you Ben if you show up any given sunday!

What wouldn't you do for free Karhu?

September 25th

This time we had four players: Me, Jani, Jaakko and Janne Uusitalo. It was fun to be able to play doubles after a long break. I don't know about the others, but the last time I played doubles was in Worlds.

So, doubles it was. Nothing more than a little power-kicking and then ...

mohkale wrote:BTW Opa, how is Tuke's operated knee doing? Is he gonna be okay by the time of Finnish Champs?

I don't know much about his knee. He is walking alright, so, I'd guess he will be able to play. It's not going to be 100% fit, though. As it hasn't in past two years...

The long and cold Finnish winter is always a problem for us net players. By 'winter' I mean all the time of the year that we cannot play outside, that is approximately half the year. It is somehow always very problematic to find a common time and space that fits all (or at least 4 for of them) so ...

Hello,

I just thought I'd start a new blog on our weekly off-season training sessions in Viikki, Helsinki. My intention here is to write down how we have trained during the winter. Basically, whether we just played matches or actually went through some kind of drills etc. And also to keep track who ...
