Consecutives. stamina. control. smashin' records - thats the way 2 go
Since i couldnt shred myself until today, i spend a lot of time thinking
about various elements to upgrade my game :
timing, control, stamina and good form = better moves (quality) +
longer strings (quantity)
Where i'm at, its very important to refine all the basics along those lines ;
i've been passionatly playing freestyle for 8 months, and i want to
make sure that i dont loose the plot now .
Inspired by Bea and Max i was always onto solid basics and i learned,
that its good to have em on both sides, and that was a lot of sweat
After a while my legs felt smart and reliable enough to try other
concepts than pixie or ducking, and along side of stepping/atomic
experimentation it was also the time to work on some next level
core stuff like dlo, datw, whirl/ rev swirl .
Slowly, it became all about trying to hit every basic trick out of the
four concepts i can ( to some extent

) do and although
there is still a lot of stuff missing - legbeater, tapdown, ducking symp
mirage, stepping ss mirage - i was suddenly able to hit a bunch of new
tricks, all 3's or 4's on both sides without the former hassle .
Now its very tempting to get caught up in the wish of hitting bigger
moves, but i realized that only the fanatical drilling of basics enabled
me to get this far.
In order to get all the small things i can do under control, i should give
the fundamentals even more time and attention ;
I'm kinda already doing this by working on hitting every move out of
every move - thanx Max for the inspiration ! - its springtime, and
alot of guiltless combos are suddenly poppin up
Once Bjoern pointed out to me, how useful it is, if you understand
a move through its components in order to get to the root of it.
So when i went out to play today, i worked on in to out atws to
stimulate my weak ! pixie .
Later i drilled atw out>atw in> ducking toe rpt, i want more solid
ducking anythings and more of that datw stuff, only 12 contacts though...
But it was enuff to lead to
ducking legover and ducking pick up bs
When i footed ducking legover b2b, another thing came to mind( again) :
its realy important for me to focus one every single element of a move
or combo, cause i tend to rush things a bit ;
i simply didnt hit it b2b, because i was like wow, 2 duck legovers in a row,
and i wasnt concentrating on the fact,that i need a delay for that last legover to have it ..hahahahah.
All this concentration, timing and contol stuff also makes the moves
more relaxed, more economical and thus nicer looking.
Its fun to get deeper in the matter called footbag, and its kool to have
met all these people sharing their knowledge and appreciation and
i feel like thanking a few :
Bea, Ian and Jason : just watching you guys is a lesson in style !
Bjoern and Max : sharp eyes and exellent intructions.
Elli and Hania : thurst for knowledge and fighting spirit .
i want to heal up for good and frikken kill shit
