I didn't shred yesterday.
I glued my shoes.
This time they won't break as easy.
Samu got new lavers.
I'm gonna get Samu's old Lavers.
They are in much better shape than mine.
I was supposed to take a longer break.
But Juha Linnanen called me.
He asked me and my friends to come to Leppävaara today.
There is an event.
Or something.
We are gonna shred on a stage.
It's 13.21.
I am at school.
Though I don't have anymore classes today.
I am bored.
The event is going to start between 5 and 6.
I am hungry.
I am downloading Iain's new vid.
It's gonna take at least 20 minutes.
I have to wait 20 more minutes.
I am sleepy.
Ramones is the gratest band ever.
I'm listening to it right now.
GIMME GIMME SHOCK TREATMENT!!!
I was feeling sick loosing my mind I heard about these treatments from a friend of mine he was always happy smile on his face he said he has a time at his place
Yeah.

18 minutes.
I'm still hungry
and bored
and sleepy
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I will start modding my new Lavers this weekend.
They are gonna rock.
Modding lavers is hell.
I hate it.
But afterwards, when you try shred with them, It's heaven.

I have to stop.
Before it's too late.
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go I wanna be sedated...
Actually it's fif-fif-fiteen minutes to go I wanna see some shred...
I want to eat something.
I could buy something from the cafe.
But I don't have money.
I am poor.
And hungry.
Must... stop... now..

sigh

We went to Leppävaara yesterday. It appeared that there was a carnewal.
We had a footbag stand with footbags, stickers and these little booklets of footbag.
We had two circles next to it. I hit two links that I have been trying for some time now:
Pixie ducking mirage>Pixie ducking reverse mirage
Beta Smear>Beta Smudge
I also hit an awesome run:
Blurriest BS, Blurry whirl BS, Phoenix BS and Bedwetter. I footed flipside Bedwetter.
We only sold one footbag.

But I think a lot of people got more interested to the game.
We taught one boy how to do jester and toe stall.
We played for almost 2 hours, I think.
And then me and Tuomas took a break and went to buy some Fanta and sweets.
We came back and heard that we would have a footbag show starting in fifteen minutes.
We warmed up and went to the main site, where the stage was.
We couldn't play on the stage because it was full of wires and microphones and stuff.
So we played in front of it. There were a lot of people there watching.
Me, Aleksi, Lauri and Juha were the players at first but Tuomas came too after a while.
Jere Linnanen couldn't play because he hurt his back. So he was the ...I don't know the word

.. "The guy who talks shit to the microphone".

We started with some short and easy strings. I didn't drop for four rounds I think.
But after that I dropped four times in a row..
Just when Tuomas was entering he circle I hit a really long guiltless run with Blurry whirl and Blurriest in the middle.
Later I hit a 1-2-3 combo. Meaning that I showed 'one' with my fingers and did a mirage from clipper.
The I showed '2', and did a barrage. And '3': Flurry!
The crowd really liked us. At one time Jere asked the crowd: "Have you had enough, already?"
"NOOO!!!"
"I said, have you had enough, already??"
"NNOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Then we played for a couple of more rounds.
In the end Juha hit Pigbeater on his second try and then we stopped.
It was so much fun! I want to do it again!!
We're gonna shred today right after school ends.

lol - I thought for a while that you ment Juha Vilpas there

riku · Post by **riku** » 12 Sep 2005 01:29

No, not Juha Vilpas. I forgot that I also hit Pdx drifter BSOS and Fog>Darkwalk>Bedwetter>Phoenix in Leppävaara a few days ago.

9.10.2005 (I'm gonna put dates from now on)

I took lavers and shorts to school so didn't have to go back home and then come to my college again.
We didn't play for long. Only about one hour.
I don't think I hit anything new. Some long runs.
I'm hitting longer runs more often now.
Aleksi, Heikki, Tuomas, Lauri and Toni stayed at my house for the night.

10.10.2005

At 3am we decided to go outside and shred. It was too cold for me to put shorts, but Aleksi, Tuomas and Samu played with shorts.
Tuomas used Samu's old lavers and Aleksi used my lavers.
It was hard to play with long pants and without lavers.. I still hit a symp. whirling swirl.
We went to my college twelve hours later. Aleksi didn't come. He was sleeping.
We played circle for about an hour. I hit 2 flails. And symp. whilring swirl>symp. bubba.
Everyone started to play alone. I tried Nemesis a few times. Not even close.
Then I tried spinning whirl - and landed on my foot!

I went home because my ankle got hurt.

12.10.2005

Now I'm at school. We are gonna go shred at five o'clock.
My mother is going to buy a computer this week. Finally.
My ankle is OK now. We'll see if I can shred but I think I can.
I modded my new lavers yesterday. I'll probably start shredding with them by the end of the week.

12.10.2005

Juha Linnanen called me after school and said that he read from my footblog that we were going to go shred.
He and Jere would also like to shred so he asked where we were playing.
He didn't know where my college was so I picked them up from the railway station.
We only played for 20 minutes and then it started to rain. Again.

We sneaked inside but after five minutes the caretaker said that we can't play inside.

We went outside under a roof and the same caretaker said that we would have to play in the side so we don't frighten (?) off the customers of the swimming hall (which is in the same building as my college)

I was suprised that we still played for over two hours under the roof.
Jere was hitting crazy runs. He got props like over 15 times!
I hit one really long run. Definetly the longest that I have ever hit.
Not sure but it was probably something like 40 contacts. There was one bail clipper in the end though..
I hit a new trick too: Clipper set Miraging Flail (Downtime Beta Blizzard).
I was pretty close to Beta Bedwetter too. And Pdx Illusioning Flail (?)
Weird..
Oh, and WHAT?! was close too. Again. That's hard.
I do it with infinity instead of ss butterfly but I don't think that matters.. Or does it, Ken?

13.10.2005

Now I'm at school downloading Jorden's scaaary session.
We're playing today too. Jere is probably coming too.

EDIT: I watched half of the scary session: HOLY MACARONI!!! 4 beastly??? Delusioning butterfly???? He is insane!!!

13.10.2005

I went to Kisahalli with Samu, Tuomas and Jere.
I hit Tapping butterfly swirl and Pdx illusioning flail. (All downtime)
Samu hit his first eggbeater.
Jere hit BS Fusion!! Huge!
We didn't play for long. About an hour.
After that I played barefoot. I hit Pixie ss DSO and footed Pixie op DSO.
We went to McDonalds after the session... mmm... greasy unhealthy trash food... mm..

15.10.2005

There was a bunch of people in Kisahalli: Juha, Jere, Santeri, Tuomas, Miika, Samu and me.
We played for over two hours.
My furious was going pretty high:

Fission!
I tried nemesis. It was close. But still so far away..

I hit Toe set DLO>Smog>Eggbeater>Pigbeater>DLO.
And I started a looong run with Janiwalker.
Janiwalker>Ripstein (again), I tried a sick3 out of it: Janiwalker>Ripstein>Shaft
Janiwalker>Blurrier (again), I tried a sick3 out of this too: Janiwalker>Blurrier>Blurry reaper
Samu hit Blurrier and footed Whirlygig several times.

16.10.2005

Me and Aleksi played barefoot at the sports class.
Barefoot clipper stall is hard for me because normally I stall the bag in the front of my foot.
I hit Whirl, Paradon and Toe Barrage.
I'm not sure if I've got time to shred today.. I hope I do.

Great idea..

15.10.2005

.. and props for being able to foresee what you are going to hit next month

Anyways, thanks for always being ready to shred and inspire others.

lol - good point Juha

:D
It's September, not October

or am I 18 already?

riku · Post by **riku** » 19 Sep 2005 00:30

Those were only predictions of what I'm going to hit next month. Of course.
What did you guys think?? That I'm stupid, or something???

18.9.2005

We were supposed to go outside and shred but it was cold and windy, so we went to Kisahalli.
Jussi, Pekka and Iceman were at Kisahalli too.
I hadn't played for two days (!).
I hit two new härski tricks:
Muted Pixie swirling gyro toe
Ripsteining gyro toe.
Footed BS bedwetter again. And Blurry Illusioning Flail.
...And I also hit a little trick called
NEMESIS!!!!!! Jussi and Tuomas said that it was good.
A new player, Jani, was also there. He is an old friend of me and samu.
Jani has played for five days, or something.
And he hit Clipper stall BS, Legover and Mirage. He has hit ATW and Walkover BS and Wrap BS already.
It took me over three months to hit mirage!

?

And yes, I still have a black mohawk

. I'll put a picture as soon as I get the internet connection to my computer.

I forgot some things from yesterday's session (because I was so psyched about the nemesis

):
Bedwetter>Pixie Barrage>Pixie Butterfly swirl
Toe Barrage X3
Flail X3

19.9.2005

Pretty big session in Kisahalli. Tuomas, Miika, Iceman, Santeri, Samu, Aleksi and me.
I started a run with Fury

I hit my second oldest challenge: Phoenix>Blurriest>Blurrier.
I footed it first time over 6 months ago..
We had a fearless circle for a while. But I couldn't hit a new record. Not even close

I was really close to another challenge too: Flurry>Parkwalk>repeat.
After the shred, we went to the gym. Now I look pretty much like Ales.

..Well, perhaps not yet...
In Euros, Steve called me 'Skinny Finn'. When he dropped out of the 4Square because of me

20.9.2005

Me, Samu, Miika and Juha V. went to Kisahalli. Pretty lame session..
No new tricks. I practiced my flipside barrage, DLO, whirl and blenders.
I was close to hit two of my challenges: Flurry>Parkwalk>rpt and Spinning butterfly>butterfly>rpt.
My flipside spinning looks pretty much like inspinning.

It's horrible. But maybe in three or four years of hard skooling, I'll be able to hit two flipside spinning clippers in a row.

Maybe..

Props on flurry > parkwalk and blurry ilusioning Flail. It's hard 7s

keep shredin..

21.9.2005

It was pretty warm outside (and it wasn't raining!) so we went to my college to shred.
Really nice session:
Blurry Illsuioning Flail. 7 adds!
Two new challenges:
Flurry>Parkwalk>rpt
Spinning butterfly>butterfly>rpt
I hit a few good flipside spinning sets, that didn't look like inspinning! w00t!
It might only take TWO years of HC practice to hit two flipsie spinning clippers in a row.
