I'm 18 for 7 hours ...

Have got some cool birthdays card from my sister, mum and dad. I don't know if I wrote about that before, but this camcorder I used for my movie, and I'm still using it ;], is my 18th birthday present.

I'm adult now... wow... at least I'm considered as an adult by the law... I feel the same as I wasn't adult yet

Hehehe... There is some huge cake in the fridge ;] yummy!

Happy (belated) 18th Pawel!

I've been 18 for 8 months and 26 days now and all I have to say about it is where did all that time go?

Enjoy that cake for me

Thx Byrin...

Nad 14th session in a row today.

It was nice. I've hit some nice runs. With 5s... I've got them on tape...
The weather was perfect to shred. It could be the same whole year ;]

I'm straight after 15th... I mean.. 15th shred session in a row.. without a day break...

Hit some nice runs, etc. Drilled Stepping set, and Double Downs...

Whatever... I feel fuckin' strong! You know. So confident and etc. I feel strong when starting run, feel strong when doin' run, feel strong on the end of run... I don't have this fucking thougths... When I want hit some move I don't calculate if I will hit it... I don't think: Should I go for this move? The chances that I'll hit it are something like 2:3, so really should I? Or should I go for something easier?, as I used to... I just, for the God's sake, hit it... And I think only about this move, not about all this bullshit... It's so easy... I just do the move and then I do other one. It's so relaxing... it's the spirit
I think that I just got the minds condition that is good for footbag. There is only "I'll hit", not "if I'll hit"...

Ok...

I'm proud

I'm haughty

I'm conceited

I'm STRONG....

PoliSh Whirl a.k.a. PS Whirl

16...

ptaku · Post by **ptaku** » 30 Aug 2005 12:15

flipside PS Whirl ... 3 times to handcatch, 2 of them were in a row

...17...

Ps. If you want to learn PS Whirl you should school ss downtime symp whirls - set the bag on waist height and do whole motion when the bag is downtime. You'll catch th ewhole motion very fast.

17th sessions in a row?! Wow!

Do you feel strong enough to get to the finals at Polish Championships?

Props for the polish whirls.

Blurry Whirl > 15 contacts run
33 contacts run with Smear > Smudge on flipside, Smear s-side, Smudge s-side, dimwalk, Ducking Butterfly BS, Ducking Osis, lots of Ducking/Diving/Weaving Clippers
Legbeater > Ripwalk > 13 contacts run with Superfly midstring
Others 20+ contacts run with some 4's, Barfly BSOS, Atomic tricks ...

These are the highlights from my yesterdays session, after watching the tape. I wrote them down, because the picture on the video is too dark and it's useless for the video.

Greets!
Pawel

Nice session after me... it was 19th, and it was 3 hours long.

I was schoolin' my Fairy sets on both sides - now I can hit some Fairy tricks midrun more consistently.

Then did some runs to camcorder. Got some nice, quite long (maybe a little bit shorter than yesterday, but much harder) runz with some quite nice links, and even some short genuine combos in them...

I feel progress all the time... ;] It makes me want shred more... And tomorrow it will be 20th... ;]

I see some improvement in my style when watching footage from sessions. It makes me even more happy, than the higher level of my shred...

Close to new five... Ohh... If I talk about fives... They weren't working quite good midstring today... I could hit them to start a run, bu I don't think that I've hit any midrun...

Later,
Pawel

Just schooling session today.

I was schooling:
Double Downs
Steppings sets
Atomic sets
Nuclear sets

Nothing new was hit.

It was 23th in a row.

I forgot to mention that I set my new Ducking Clippers personal record. Now it's 32 - equall with my Osis' record and close to my Butterflies record (which is 35)... But for sure... I feel much more confident with Ducking Clipper than with any other trick.

I'm quite bussy with school so I don't have time to read and write on forum. But I'm still shreding everyday.

On the 25th (the 7th of September, 2005) I hit Spinning Paradox Whirl... This is the 5 I was talking about, that I'm close to hit it (post from the 1st of September). But... I hit on the other side... not the one I was close then, just the other ;] I hit it on right side, and I was close on left side before, so I think I can hit it bs...

On the 26th (the 8th of September, 2005) I hit Spinning Ducking Paradox Mirage (from left side clipper).

And yesterday, 27th session in a row (the 9th of September, 2005) I hit
Toe Flux

and then ...

Paradox Flux

So I'm shreding for 27th days... If I will it will be the 28th = 4 weeks of shreding without a break.

The shortest session was 1 hour 35 minutes, there were 5 sessions under 2 hours, most of the sessions were about 2 h 30 min (+- 10 minutes). There were 4 sessions over 2 hours 40 minutes - two of them were over 3 hours.
And in the last week I had two sport-lessons at school. On the first we were runing (6 full circles on stadium = 2400 m), and on the 2nd one we did some speed work-out - my muscles were really tired after that.

Footbag gave me great endurance for runing. I ran these 2400 meters without too much effort. And I finished as the first, though I started about one minute later `cause I was stretching longer before the run.

On the 10th of September I had really nice session I hit:

9x Ripwalk

nice, clean Scorpion's Tails (finally know how to hit them... I think that I would be able to controll them and hit something out of them - or even do them midstring)

flipside Spinning Paradox Whirl

Mobius

This one was the 28th

On the 11th of September I had the first session in my room (the weather wasn't too good) since the summer be.
I beat my Butterflies record and set it on 47. And I was working on my routine.

On the 12th of September happened next session in my room - worked on routine ... This one was the 30th

And yesterday... on the 13th of September I .... injuried my quadricipital muscles in both legs! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! KURWA! KURWA KURWA! It was on my gym lesson. We were doing sprints, and then runing 100 metres... And during the run they just started to blow... I don't know how to write what is with them in english... I would just write that they hurt all the time. Even when I sit... I have problems with walking, and the worse is to stand up when I sit... FUCK! I can't play.. there was no 31th..a. 13 was always my lucky number... but this day was awful.

I'm chapfallen.. I don't know what to do with myself ... I don't know when I'll be able to shred... I want to cry... But I can't cry

I'm not able to for the God's sake!
