12th August 2004

Had a good session today, taped lots of it, so expect a short video clip
in the next days.

Broke my Ducking Clipper record again, went for 6, and it's on tape!
I'm curious to see how clean they were.

Had some good runs in front of the camera, which is rare for me, as
most of the time I don't even hit a decent toe stall when the camera's
running

Seems like I'm slowly getting used to it.

We had an very slow session, I did not want to stress my twisted ankle too much (rolled it over 2 days before). Despite of that I could my Infinity record to 13

I drilled Clipper SS Legovers, I hope this drill will help me with Clipper SS Illiusions. And again I noticed that I have to train my flip Osis so much more! I drop that move way too often, but thats ok when I think back 2 months when I didn't do any Osis at all. Hopefilly my right ankle is 100% healed until monday so that I can play really hard then + my sister starts again on monday to. She took a short break because of her left calf.

While is was working Jendrik from Kiel called me, he was staying in Munich for a couple of days, and asked if we meet to kick the footbag. So we (Beatrice, Bjoern, Jedrik and me) had a nice session. I can't really remember anything specific, only a run including bsos clipper set SS illiusion and bsos pdx illiusion. During the session we saw one guys at the fence watching us and we asked him to join us. His name was Josh from California he didn't play but he said watching us did just blow his mind

So he hung out with us.

Again a long session with Jendrik. The highlights for me were: bring my infinities record to 14 and I hit "Eggplant" Atomic Legover

I was just messing around with atomic set with out any idea what I was doing, At the end of the session, after 4 1/2 hours,

I was sooo close to Atomsmasher.
Hmm ah yes Jednrik showed me a new and better way for consecutive clippers! I always did 3 steps between two clippers, which made me look like an wired step dancer, now I only do 2 steps in between. I guess I could have figured that out by myself but Jendrik just opend my eyes

So thanks again!

ok now I got it

25 August 2004
Bjoern and I decided to kick in the center of Munich to do a little promotion for the Streetlife Festival + handing out flyers. But Bjoern was admonished by an police officer while he was handing out flyers 2 hours before that

So I just gave the flyer the ppl who really came and watched us, and not random people walking by. There was an cold wind in the streets that evening but the session was good anyway. I hit Pixie SS Mirage BSOS + Magellan BSOS my pixie set is getting more consistent every time I play

And for my total suprise I hit 4 or 5 alterning Ducking Clippers

they really came out of nowhere! But I guess watching Bjoern drilling that move over and over again helped me out too

My most recent goals now are: Geting Dimwalk down! Butterfly > Osis > Far Butterfly drill repate until me feet fall off! And drill that new alterning Clipper technique Jendrik showed me.
Now I need to distribute more flyers

So long

Today I had an 45 min dirlling only solo session. I practiced that new alterning clippers methode. And I did this combo: Butterfly > Osis > Far Butterlfy > Infinitie until I hit it 10 times on each side. Furthermore I did the good old Infinities and Clipper > Osis repeat.
Tomorrow we want to shred at an festival here in Munich and hand out more flyers for your upcoming Jam

We (Bjoern, Darly and a friend of his) had a session at an sporting ground right behind the Munich Olympic stadium from 1972. We really drilled a lot and I hit ~10 Pixie Legover

I was very suprised about that! I worked a lot on my Butterfly and Osis technique. We will kick again with Daryl on thursday, I hope the guys from Dortmund are aleready here then.

Beatrice, Bjoern and I just had an nice session close to your place. Again I drilled Osis and it paid of a little bit; I hit the Butterfly > Osis > Far Butter Fly > Infinity repeat 3 or 4 times without dropping. Schooling basics can be fun

I also did 4 Magellans in a row, I bet I can do maybe 6 or 7 wiht more training. Another good combo for me was Magellan > Pixie Legover > Magellan > Pixie Legover, I also hit that combo with Smear instead of Magellan. This will be one hard shred week with the upcoming Streetlife Festival

Finally I'm back blogging

(can you say that?) I had an wounderful two week holiday with my adorable girlfriend.
But let's start before that:
On July the 4./5. the Streetlife festival happened here in Munich. And we invited some footbagers over to play with us. It really was great fun to have such a big circle in our city! Thanks again to everybody for comming!
On sunday after shreding almost two full days I hit Atom Smasher after like 50 trys

That one guy from Landshut (can't rember the name right now) and I pushed us really hard with that trick. He didn't hit it that evening but I'm sure he has hit it by now. A lot of other nice stuff was also hit, the only trick I can rember on top of my head was Whirling Mirage by Viktor. Beatrice hit Pixie Butterfly on both sides that weekend. I hope Bjoern finishs the video soon so all of you can participate =)

Tunisia
From September 11th to September 25th my g/f and I stayed in a nice hotel right at the sandy beach

I played Beachvolley almost every day and we had an really great time! Every second day or so I shreded before dinner, but most of the time only for half an hour or so. Despite of that I achived soem new things: 16 Infinities

Atomic Butterfly and Paradon (Double Butterfly)

Ok now I can right about todays session. After renovate stuff in our new house my sister and I shreded in our future dining room. First I thought the session sucks but the I started to try some new stuff. So I hit PDY Whirl on both sides and Blurry Whirl on one side for the first time! So Blurry Whirl is my first 5 add trick

ok thats enough for today...

Grischa from Paris is in Munich this week so we all (Beatrice, Bjoern and Daryl) had a session in our regular monday evening gym. It seems like Bjoern is back from his injury foreced break. We all played really hard. Some new tricks were hit: Grischa did Grifter for the first time an 2 other tricks I can't remeber now. I hit Bubbabeater for the first time.

ebo · Post by **ebo** » 28 Sep 2004 13:17

Grischa hit Flux for the first time, and Matador, if I'm not mistaken.
Good session!

Beatrice, Daryl and I had our usual monday evening training in the gym. I was a really cool session

Daryl hit his first Magellan. Beatrice started learning osis. And I hit some new stuff: Blender and Spinning Clipper but both only on one side. I also did the Butterfly > Whirl combo 4 times in a row + I hit Osis > Whirl on both sides. AND I hit one Blurry Whirl in the locker room

Whirls are really my favorite trick right now. I ahve to drill them over and over...

Word ! Today' training session was fucking brilliant

Actually i didnt expected it to be that much fun, because today
i had my first day back at work after a 10day holiday, plus i
felt feverish and shaky, being caught between flu and
a mad hangover . But when i spotted Bea and Max shining,
i couldnt wait to join in.
Just a few mins after the warm up, i asked Max about
magelan, he showed me, explained it to me, and bamm !-
a couple of tries later, i hit my first same leg double dex

I couldnt believe it, what a feeling...i wanna own that mother.
To my surprise i got props for my illusions, for being clean
and all up time !
Then i tried some spinning and ducking...feels good, but
needs a lotta work from my side though
Bea worked hard on her infinities and started to learn osis;
she seemed to be a little frustrated, but with her determination
and her great learning abilty, she will have 'em locked down soon .
None of us did a long run,this was more like a drilling session,
but this guy hit some kool whirl combos
and a superclean blurry whirl in the changing room .
It was a shame that bjoern couldnt be there today, but apart from
that, tonight was as sweet as a nut !

I'm so excited about shredding and i slowly beginn to understand...
this sport is so great and its beauty and its possibilities are inexhaustible

Daryl and I had an nice 2 1/2 hour session at our new house here in Munich. Theres no furniture in there yet, so we had a good spot right in our future dinning room

There was an oldies special in the radio so we played from the 50's straight to the 80's =)
We mostly drilled stuff. I hit no new trick but some combos.
Toe flipside dlo > toe flipside dlo. Dimwalk > Ripwalk > Bur (attempt) and a 6 contacts guiltless string: Pixie Legover > Pixie Legover > Symp. Mirage > Butterfly > Butterfly > Ripwalk + I hit 13 Infinities

Our session was dedicated to Bjoerns health!

Thanks guys for the kind words. Paul called me yesterday. We should
hook up with him soon!

Since I'm injured, all I do from time to time are clipper>flapper combos
on the strong side, which are getting more consistant. I've never done
flappers before, so this is kinda new to me, but fun!

I hope you will join us in the gym tomorrow! Paul and I had an short but hard session. I hit Butterfly > Blur > Symp. Mirage > Butterfly > Blur > Symp. Mirage (bsos) + I did a Ripwalk again midrun. And my Pixie set worked so great today. Beatrice hit Dimwalk BSOS ! Paul did some crazy stuff: Inside Set Fariy Rake, Spinning CLipper > Spinning Osis, Peeking Osis. More tomorrow.

Despite the fact in have an cold, wich freaks me out

(I haven't been ill in the last 1 1/2 year) the monday gym session was quite good. Just a few words on it: Beatrice did some runs with Dimwalk bsos and hit her first Parkwalk.
I hit Pixie Illiusion midrun for the first time and another premiere... My first 4 > 4 > 4 combo

Dimwalk > Ripwalk > Blur
