Big props Riku :D This stuff is really cool, great fearless combo, and Symp. Bubbabeater and Frankenstein are awesome!

My back also hurts sometimes from PS Whirls, but it always stop after about 2 hours. I hope it will be the same with you. Keep shredding :D

Wow... Riku Ahola in da haus...

Awesome stuff. Nice fearless and other tricks. Frankenstein and Symp. Bubbabeater - it's so stylish and cool.

Keep kickin'!

Later,

Ps. Sometimes I have got some some back pains from doing Superflies... but it's almost everytime from not correct landing... I touch the ground first with my toes, and this is good, but it isn't good that I don't want to stay only on my toe for longer time to cushion the move i just flop down with my whole foot straight after touching he ground with my toes :P It sucks ...

Thanks for the props. I appreciate those.
My back is OK now :D

I shredded at the amphitheater the day before yesterday. This time with my own shoes.
There were Dacco, Samu, Iiro, Mikko, Darra and me. Darra was over 1½ hours late... asshole.
We played a lot of circle. I couldn't shred long strings because of shin splints :evil:
I still hit something:
5-5-5>infinite>footed mullet
Barraging ss osis
Footed BS Phase
Footed Reverse Fury
That's all I can remember. I should always write about yesterday because that's what I remember. sigh.

Yesterday I shredded at my college with Samu, Aleksi and Lauri.
I still haven't heard of Tuomas. Probably because I haven't called him :oops: .
NO!! IT'S ALL HIS FAULT! HE SHOULD HAVE CALLED ME OR BEEN IN MESSENGER AT THE SAME TIME THAN ME!!! ..or not..

Anyway I hit a few long runs with lots of four adds. again.
I tried nemesis and the first set wen't higher than my groins but I failed to do the barfly.
Next tries didn't go as high..
I hit .. umm.. crap, I don't remember what I hit. I think I hit barraging ss clipper. Oh, and 8 drifters (last record was 3)
And DLO>Toe Drifter>repeat. Finally!

I don't even remember when was the last footbag holiday for me.
Meaning more than two days. Maybe 3 months ago? I'm not sure.
But let's keep it that way! I'll go come back here (I'm in school :wink: )later today and shred.
And I'll hit nemesis!! :twisted:

Haha! Great signature, Tuomas! :lol:

I didn't go back to my college because Aleksi and Lauri left to Lapland, so there would have been only me and Samu.
But don't worry I still did go to the Amphitheater :wink:
There were Mikko, Miika, Samu and me - And like 100 other people!
There was somekind of a concert.
After they stopped that horrible "music" a guy said that we would have to leave because there was a Wushu Kung Fu show starting.
We stayed for a while and watched the show, which was pretty cool.
But then it started raining and we left. I wasn't so happy because it was raining, we played only for an hour and I didn't hit anything new. Not even a long run. :evil:

Today I was supposed to go play net at 10AM. I went to sleep at 3AM so I was pretty sleepy in the morning..
And that's why I was a half an hour late. But when I got there, there was nobody! :?:
I tried to call Miika, who was supposed to come there. But he didn't answer.
Life sucks.

I need to shred today. But with who?? Maybe Tuomas' ankle is OK now?
I hope so.. Or I'll have to play alone - and I don't even want to think about that! It gives me the chills!

:lol:

Last saturday:
I tried to call to Miika but he didn't answer.
I called Tuomas but he was somewhere (I couldn't understand where because he was breathing so hard)
... So I was forced to have a solo session - and it was a good thing:

BS Phase
Symposium DLO
Toe ss whirling swirl
Slicing mirage
Symposium slicing mirage
Furious legover (crispy flurry)
Footed Flipside Fury a couple of times
Footed PS eggbeater many times

Flurry>Pixie swirl (muted)
Fairy swirl>Ripstein
Terrage>Toe ss swirling mirage
Symposium whirling swirl>whirling swirl
Spinning clipper>Spinning ducking clipper>spinning clipper
Whirl>Janiwalker BS
Terrage>Paradon>Barfly>Barfly>DDD>Barrage>DATW>Terrage>drop on DOD
A run with Blurriest BS, Dimmiest, Blurrier and Dimmier, footed flipside Dimmiest
A run with Pixie ss whirl, Pixie op whirl, Blurry whirl and Stepping ss whirl, footed flipside blurry whirl

Yesterday:
Yesterday was one of the most awful days of my life.
It was raining all day long and I had to deliver some papers.
We went to Kisahalli but it was closed. Then we went to another sportshall but it was closed too!
Then I went back home. The whole trip took over 3 hours! :evil:
Though I ate some pancakes inthe evening, I was still really frustrated.

Today:
I had a Mr. Sandman with me in school. A guy named Iiro said that I should show him some tricks.
So I did a toe stall. Then we kicked a bit and then I catched his pass with a clipper stall and I hit a run with clippers, legovers, butterflies and a diving clipper.
He was really amazed :D
Me and Aleksi drew some footbag trick name picture riddles during the class.
Actually we drew a lot of them. Over 15. It was really fun.
We also played some Handbag during the chemistry class. I hit:
Rubberman 2>Rubberman>Plastic man>Xanabox>BAP drill>Blubberman.
Then our teacher said that if we want to continue playing we'd have to go outside.
So we stopped. My life is full of footbag :wink:

I have to leave now because I'm going to go shred at my college.

We went to my college yesterday but it started raining again (man, I love Finland :? ) so we tried to get inside.
I asked "Could we play footbag inside because it started raining?"
"No, no, no. You can't play inside".
I think he heard football :wink:
So we had to play outside under a roof.
There wasn't so much space and we had to stop shredding at some times because some people tried to get in/out.
We played for about 1½ hours. Circle and Shred30.
I hit a few long runs and a new trick: PS Eggbeater.
I also hit a long improvised run going with the music (pretty fly for a white guy) really well. It was fun.
Lauri hit one dropless shred30 with more four adds than usually.
I hit one good one with only one drop. It was almost the same as I did in worlds 1. round.

I forgot two tricks from the solo session last saturday:
Pixie gyro mirage
Fairy butterfly swirl

I've played twice at my college. Yesterday and the day before yesterday.
NO new tricks but one sick combo:
Janiwalker>Blurrier
I tried Blurry Reaper but it wasn't even close. That would be a nice sick3.
Yesterday my spinning set was going straight and I hit spinning whirl after a long time.
I hit it for the first time over a year ago, but I've hit it only like 5 times :oops:
But from today on I'm gonna skool my spinnning whirl and scorpions tail.
They're both such cool tricks. And Mobius. I HAVE to hit Mobius.
I've been trying some really big tricks but they always fall from the foot :?
I need a better crank. Much better.
Is stretching the only thing I gotta do? Or are there some other things to get better crank?
I'll go to the Amphitheater today. And shred hard! ..as always :wink:

I checked my old goals. There's only two that I haven't hit:
:arrow: Plasticman
:arrow: Rubberman
Rubberman is too hard for now but I could probably hit plasticman.

I had to glue my shoes again. And I'll probably have to do it today too.
I've been stretching my ankles and now walking it hurts. :?
But I'm not gonna stop! No pain, no gain! :lol:
I shredded yesterday with Samu, Miika and Mikko.
Mikko hit Voodoo...After trying (and selfserving) a hundred times.
Samu and Miika both hit Flipside Blurry whirls and Pdx Blenders.
I didn't hit anything new. But I was close to slicing osis.

Air is Gyro Swirling Mirage. It's a new trick. Lauri Airinen invented it.

I played for an hour with Samu near my house.
Pretty boring session. More blah blah than shred..
My last run was cool:
Muted Pixie swirl, Pixie butterfly swirl, ripstein and symposium whirling swirl in the same run.

I went to sleep at 11PM, but Aleksi woke me up at 3AM. He called and asked if I wanted to come outside.
I couldn't sleep after that so I went outside with some friends.
Now we are at Heikki's house. We just watched Lord of the Rings Extra Material.
Booooooooriiiiing.

Me, Samu and Aleksi went to my college yesterday.
We shredded for about ten minutes and then a car drove to the parking slots.
A foreigner asked that is the swimming hall open. It wasn't.
Then four foreign guys stepped out of the car. They were really amazed when we did some strings.
They kicked with us for a while and then they asked if we could listen to their music instead of our's.
Their music was some old boring finnish music. It was horrible.
They asked Aleksi to get them a chocolate bar and a bottle of ED from the car.
Aleksi went to get those. After the guys got those they started to build somekind of a pipe.
And then they started to smoke pot. They asked if we wanted some.
"No, thank you", we said.
We shredded and they smoked pot and listened to music.
I hit a cool link: Bubbabeater>Flail.
The guys started to leave. But then one of them came back and claimed that Aleksi took 50€ from the car.
Which of course wasn't true.
he said that he's gonna take our stereos if we don't give him the money back.
He already took the stereos but then the other guys came and gave the stereos back.
They said: "Please, don't call the cops!", and finally left.
We played for some time after that too.
I was close BS Bedwetter. And I hit a run with Flail, symposium bubba and footed pdx Flail.
My life is sooo exciting!! :lol:

Me, Aleksi and Samu shredded yesterday at my college.
It was really windy. I shouldn't blame the weather for my bad strings but I did..
I hit 4 terrages. Terrage is really easy on my flipside now.
I've tried DATW>Terrage>rpt, but I can't do flip DATW>flip terrage.
I practiced my double-dexes. Flipside Barrage was going really easy too.
I tried a few cool double-dex drills but didn't hit any. Damn you flipside!!! :evil:
We played some sick1 circle. I was close to Zulu PS Whirl. And some big flipside tricks.
Spinning whirl isn't so hard anymore. I'm glad about that.
I hit it in mid-string the other day, but I forgot to mention it in my blog.

Tuomas is back!! :twisted: He's ankle still isn't perfect but that didn't slow him down:
First 6>6: Food processor>Mind bender and downtime food processor!

We played for about 2½ hours at my college. We started with circle but soon eveeryone was playing alone.
I hit three new tricks:
Neutron Smasher
Phasing Whirl
Flipside Blurrier
And I footed 6>6: FS Janiwalker>Mullet
I also tried another one but It wasn't so close: Whirlygig>Mind Bender.
Aleksi also footed 6>6. I think it was Food processor>Spinning blender.

Great session. But now I have holes in both of my lavers (again).
And my legs hurt. I'm gonna take a break. Next session will be on Monday.
