Great session today and my boss isn't at work so I actualy get to write about it. Today was the first day I
Shredded in about 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong I've had about 12 footbag sessions just not shred. I don't think enough people distinguish the 2.
So my main motiovation these past few weeks has been Mr. Schnider and his philosophy. I pmed him once asking him if hes every hit a six add and he said that most of the stuff he works on now is 2 or 3 adds. Maraxus also likes to tell me I need to throw more big moves and that convinced my rebelious side to stay away from 5adds for a while
Sorry Arron. I thought about all the style hack-like moves I've been neglecting and got to work.
Drilled:
toe no plant cross body rakes
osis>far cross body rake
osis>same x body rake (carol style)
whirling/drifting xbr
spinning/gyro xbr
weaving/zulu xbr
pdx miraging/illusioning inside
gyro miraging inside
gyro guay
ducking miraging inside
ducking guay
osis>reverse wrap
pdx mirageing inside>wrap
clip>ss spinning outside (like a dragon but with the spin to the outside set)
ducking spining outside
spinning/gyro so
pixie/steping so
butterfly so (like waxpin but caught on the outside not toe)
so>drifter
In other words take 3 fairly unused components(rakes, insides, spinning outside) and mix it up with basic sets. When I was feeling comfortable I was linking things like
spining spinning outside>pdx illusioning inside>x body rake
gyro guay> butterflying spinning outside
And lots of the components mixed up with bops in between. It was 2 weeks very well spent and now I have a new(but still unconsistent) arsenal to throw, even when I'm realy tired or sore.
But today I did some shred! Hit a 5>5>5 for the first time in a while, although it was the uber standard pheonix>blurry whirl>ps whirl. Hit blender>blender and dyno>dyno, torque>pdx whirl>rpt, reaper, a fairy and some good atomics, double pickup bsos and far swirl bsos, blurrier a couple times and some other random stuff that made me feel like a shredder again.
Thanks if you made it threw all that. My best bud James doesn't seem to be into footbag or hangin' with me anymore so my footbag emotions may be coming out here more (scarry). If you spend a day working non shred moves you won't regret it. I'm moving to SF in 5 days so I plan on getting torch and tu(and sunil while hes still in town) throwing down.
