6.10.2005

We had a really nice three-hour-session at Kisahalli.
I was close to some sick stuff: Flipside Ripstein, Flipside Whirr and strong Double Blender.
I hit Flipside Parkwalk swirl and Blurry Grifter (One minute before I had to leave(!))
I did some really long runs with some big tricks like: Pixie Barrage, Flurry, Whirr, Janiwalker.
I also hit FS Blurry Ripwalk but the stepping was slurry and the Quantum was a bit 'the'.

Tuomas did it cleanly afterwards.
I've never seen Miika even trying Torque and today he suddenly hit Mobius! And Vortex just after that!
Miika also started a run with Gyro DLO.
Samu was hitting Vortex like nothing.
Am I the only one who can't do Gyro tricks????
Oh, and Tuomas hit PS Torque. HUGE.

Very fun session at Kisahalli. We played a lot of games/competitions. And laughed our asses off.
I practiced spinning again. I hit flipside Spinning ducking clipper.
And flipside Gyro mIrage and Strong Scorpions Tail. Those aren't new but I haven't hit them in a very long time.
And Tuomas hit Montage!!!!

We had a show at Kontula. That's where Miika lives.
I like doing shows. Though this was nothing compared to the one we had in Leppävaara.. but it was still fun.
Miika told something about the history of footbag and I told about the competitions and the add-system.
And we all shredded. Tuomas hit PS whirl BSOS.
That was probably the only big thing that was hit.
Juha V. is editing the video we shot a week ago.
Soon it will be finished and I will put it into my footbag.org gallery.
Can't wait.

We had a nice session at Kisahalli. Lasse Salmenhaara, Ilkka Malin and Iceman were there too!
They should play more... Though Lasse is in the army right now. But still.
I hit Bullwhip on second try EVER. I did it with a plant after the spin though..
And three new drills:
Merkon>Dimwalk>rpt
Ducking butterfly>Spinning butterfly>rpt
Ducking clipper>Diving clipper>Spinning clipper>rpt.
I forgot that I hit spinning clipper>gyro clipper>rpt a couple of days ago.
I've noticed that you can do anything with enough practice! (Now that I've learned flipside spinning).

Read my last post (written in Finnish) in Lauri Jaakkola's (sniikeri) blog.

It contains information about You coming to Turku next week.

Me, Miika, Samu, Ilkka and Samuli Viitanen (!) shredded at Kisahalli.
I hit some really nice runs in the beginning of session, but after an hour I couldn't anything...
Except Ducking Pdx DLO and Pixie Ducking DLO!!!
I was really close to Mobius, Pixie Mobius and Gyro DLO.
And I hit Flipside Gyro Mirage many times.

We had a really nice session at Kisahalli. There were me, Samu, Tuomas and Miika.
I hit a lot of really long runs with lots of tricks BSOS.
And Gyro DLO.
I footed BS Wet Dream

After I hit that, I only have to do one illusion in the middle. And that will be 8 adds! (with x-dex)... piece of cake

Tuomas hit Rev. Montage first time, first try. And he hit it over five times later.
Samu hit Janiwalker, Whirr and Spinning pdx DLO!!

Pretty basic sesh at Kisahalli. Nothing new. Some good, long runs.
There was a new player there - A GIRL!!! OMG!
There's like one shredita in Finland, and I'm not sure if she even plays anymore..
The new girl, Pia, had started when she was at worlds in Helsinki.
And she was already hitting pixie sets and butterflies and osis!
After the session I bought A LOT of sweets and Fanta. mmmmmm...
Only four days until we go to Turku! I can't wait.

Pretty big session in Kisahallli. There were 7 people there.
We had a competition with Animal: Who hits Pixie Blur first?
He won...
I hit it afterwards too. And Pixie Atom smasher first try! That was a surprise!
We played Horse. It was FUN!
Nobody could hit my two links:
Legover>Legover>Pixie Swirl

Legover>Legover>Pixie Ripwalk.

Lauri was so tired that he even dropped the Legovers!

Samu hit Rubberman drill!
He has got so much better Atomics than I do.

wow riku keep up the good stuff! Your game is still skyrocketing every session it seems!
I remember seeing Pia, she knows Kolo pretty well I think

Hope I'll see you at worlds next year!

riku · Post by **riku** » 18 Oct 2005 23:16

Yes, Pia said he bought his FootFighter from Kolo.
She was at Kisahalli yesterday too.

Flurry>Pixie Paradon>Barfly>rpt...
I've had problems with flipside barfly>flipside barrage, so I haven't hit Plasticman yet.
I'll hit Plasticman first and then start practicing that one!

Thanks for noticing me!

Were you hitting Whirls at Worlds?

...or who was it then? Definitely some girl was there at Linnanmäki who hit them. There were at least me, Riku and Juho Vilpas (?) in the same circle, and ...oh yes, Tina and Manu were there too.
