Atomic rocks! Major props for that! Thanks for the postcard again! I love it.

I wanted all the Munich shredders to know that I've been reading your blog and I just haven't known what to say because you're all hitting awesome stuff! Keep it up!

Go Bea ! Tap bs is very nice and they looked good too 8)

Hopefully your boyfriend really gets into footbag and
becomes a true fanatic, so that you show up more often :wink: !

Shredding with Beatrice seems to summon my best qualities :
i feel confident around her,she's my older, respetable si - hing,
my comrad in arms and older kung fu brother ( eerrm, sister, i meant ).
Lately we dont shred often, so i am eager to spread the news around
and show her all my recent shit, its kinda kool when she goes like :
wow, same side butterflies :lol: .

Her and me had a good warm up, which shared the same resemblance
with a most rippin run thing, sans the battle element though .
Once i had some odd 20 something tiltless run, which was longer
and better themed, then the one i did at the orphanage b ball court.
I should definitly count the contacts next time, because it felt like
i went on for ever, i didnt drop the bag either, something in me decided
to stop and i flicked it up to hand catch and passed it to Beatrice .

After reading Eli's thoughts on no hand passes, i will try to kick the bag
to the next in line, instead of tossing it over...so much kooler...

From time to time one of us looked over to my man Kue, who
was sweating like a gladiator from miraging in the evening sun.
We watched him, gave some brief comments and occasional cries
of pleasure, but he had to fight for himself then :lol: no mercy here !
He hit it both sides, and in the moment when Max entered the scene,
Kue hit his first tiltless combo : mirage> around the world :D
Some twenty alternating toestalls later he had me convinced, that
he will keep at it and go hardcore !

Bea had some awesome runs, plus, like she already set,
her pixie returned from holiday just in time to hypnotize us
with sheer delight :P.
She has a good balance of thinking ahead and being spontaneous,
its really good to watch, i love her form and style, its just so tasteful
and on point ! ADMIRATION !

When we skooled atomic together i hit tap bsos with no anstrengung,
and flipside legbeater( first atomic butter ever, 7 tries )
...straight after the handcatch, it came to me why Ian asked me at gfo,
if i ever tried it flipside, when i almost killed my self trying to nail one .
Of course its easier on the flipside, since my strong butter delays the
footbag like that. Slow burner :lol: ..felt wicked nevertheless, though .

Runs were on again, but only for 2 thirds of the sesson ; when i began
to hate the idea of stopping because of a long and draining shift at the
club, that was waiting for me, i got a little nervous and my game was
straight sketchy .
But before that, i started a run with ducking butterfly, followed by some
2 adds, butters and pixie moves and a Betty Ford clean ducking symp mirage midstring.
In another run, beginning with dlo, i hit plo, smear, symp mirage,
ss butterfly and both ducking clippers
, and again i finished a string
at will, with out a drop .

Inspired by Max way of theming runs, i managed to incorporate
smear, ss smear, pixie and dimwalk, accompanied by a ducking mirage
and a nice symp miraging stallberger mid string.
From other runs i can only rember the beginnings ; blur, flip dimwalk,
butter>pdx mir>b2b, tap>legover>smear, atomsmasher>smear twice !

Max was busting hard, but he didnt play long, nor did he seem tooo
happy with things on monday ; what can i say, your links get ever
more difficult and you also choose at least two motifs for your guiltless
strings, i'm still recovering from this 1 dlo run you had in the u - ground !
Boy, you ve became so good - i just watched or latest vid,
and apart from being stoked how poor my posture in this one is,
i was actually shocked by the progress of your game, man !
I hope we can shred soon again, i love these hardcore fighter sessions !

I love diving and i need to improve spins n steps, its kool cutting down
that size of my butters to minimize the effort for landing them smoovly,
pixie and atomic are slowly getting in the right direction and i shall
rise tomorrow to speed that process up a little :D !

Today at work i hit 2 clip set diving legovers, one to a short, sad run !
Announcements like that are the devil, but my hearts set now on
hitting diving pdx illusion /zulu legover and one other, secret move 2morrow !

Today I hit, in full clothing:

Far Symple Dyno to handcatch

(like a far symp reverse whirl bailed to osis)

Had it rolled of my foot 3 more times...

8) 8) 8)

Mike, you get your shoegoo in the next days, along with a surprise..

Wow, this page of our blog seems to be pretty active...i like that :D

Well, i had a nice session tonite with Kue ; this kid is really going for it -
after our swimming sesh, we went to this rain protected, well lit corner
close to Hohenzollern Platz and he was working hard and learning fast.

Kue hit mirage again a couple of times, also atw and his first legover !
The dexes were a little big, naturally, but very clean and styly looking,
i sincerly hope he keeps up that interest and nurtures our lazy club with
some more enthiusiasm :wink: :D
Another kool thing was the courteseous energy in our two man circle ;
after each ones turn the bag was nicely passed on with a kick, the next guydid some kicks, then a run .

Thanks Eli for enlighteninng me once again :D .

While we were at it, this old buddie of mine, with the promising name
Beast came by to watch and talk, and at the end of our shred-in,
he hit atw twice and this guy hasnt even kicked ever before !
Lately i meet a lot of people, who show talent or genuine interest
at the worlds greatest sport, i only hope that they'll bear with us for a bit
(crosses fingers, biting a chickens head of ).

My runs were mostly good, everything, even stepping and those
dammed dlos kinda worked, only my atomic was sorta absent .
I did 108 kicks, 17 mirages and 25 legover for warming up, then
it was time for butters.
Its so much fun to integrate them more into my strings and at one
time i hit butter>butter>pdx mirage>run>butter>ss butter>run,
which felt good and controlled.
The fact that i rather work on bops, instead of trying shit out of my
reach improved my game and the attitude towards it like mad -
plus i can play longer too, since i dont waste my energy anymore
and butters really help for the "stabillity" of ones performance.
I will skool em more, i want them more economical and properly
effortless ( and i dont mind all the fours comming along with that either...)
I didnt go for hard combos all the time and i put the focus on long
tiltless runs, trying to keep a good form and style, though later on,
when i was a little too tired for long strings, i hit most of my 4 adds
out of the pixie/ducking area.

Hits :

beta smear>butterfly>run

plo>datw>run

one run with dlo, plo, ss smear, both butters and pdx mir

zulu legover from cilp, selbstredend :wink: ( 3 times, 1 to a run )

3 double switch overs :one usealed, one to hand, one to run

and i also hit the best feeling, most wicked looking move in my time :
DIVING SYMPOSIUM MIRAGE :twisted:
from clipper; twice, once to a run :D

Single Session Yesterday: I was three times so fucking close to pdx dlo had some nice ideas for my routine and a few good runs with lots of bothside clips, butts and osis.

Everything seems to be all right for EUROS. Daryl buy bus tickets for us today. Wroclaw and back for 82,- €. I think it´s o.k.
registered myself for interm. freestyle.


Four and a half days EUROS here we come!!!

Ayyo, i had 2 little sessions today and i hit some nu shit :


ducking ingyro toe :? ?

toe zulu legover both sides

clipper set barrage both sides

and OSIS>pdx mirage bs :twisted:


Other than that, i'm more keen on doing my BOPs, working on my
weaknesses ( flip ducking, stepping, dlos... i could go on 4
ages..
)or having long tiltless runs rather than wasting my
mojo on stupid combos or "big" tricks.
2morrow i'll try some reapers for Bjoern tho :wink: !

If Nikka Costa didnt say it out of sheer laziness, she's probably right,,
when she sings :" i can be strong and willful, but i rather let it fall
in the palm of my hand !" ( in this context the greek word "hand"
means clipper stall in most cases .)

Oh Yeah, Poland will be like a storm !



rocknroll !

SCHOOOLS ON FOR SUMMER!

Yeah I'll be going to school again from september on - rock on daryl!

Festival was cool, we had a little hut were we sold the bags and had
some infos, there was lots of 4square, and Max, Bea, Alex (Bea's friend)
and me played lots. Since there was grass all around, I didn't feel my
calf nor my knee (I'm talking bout the surface here..). Anyway,

Alex hit his first mirages!

I hit:

2 clean far symple dynos (I'm so in love with this trick)
2 pixie reverse whirls
(new for me!)

and osis>far butterfly>infinity rpt was much more controlled than ever.
It's getting really good.

It was so cool that I was able to play.

Oh, and a new link: Osis>DLO felt rather easy too.

We sold a couple of bags, gave lots of info out and all in all it was a fun
day!
