I had a session yesterday. First I was going to film at the sport hall but I felt too lazy to go there so I ended up in shredding our shed.
I hit Whirr bs again, this time a couple of times. Also to a run once both sides. Gave a few tries to Double Blender and almost footed it. I think I need to set it higher.
I also noticed that I need to skool my Symp Whirls more to get those Whirrs better.
Skooled some shuffle most of the session. Man my shuffle totaly sucks salty chocolate balls. I can't even hit any shuffle 5's mid shuffle string.

The year is changing
I thought that I'd post a some kind of memorial about the past year. Something that I can remember...A year ago in December I hit my first 5-5-5 which was Janiwalker > Pdx Torque > Pdx Blender. In the same month I hit Spanishfly b2b for the first time.
I hit my first 7 adder in February (I think?) it was Alpine Marius. A couple of months later I hit Montage and Superdeeduperfly the same day
I remember that the other sides Superdeeduperfly was with first try ever. THAT felt sooooo sick. I just had to hit it again to make sure it was clean. But hey four new unique 7's one day - not bad, huh? I tried to hit Ducking Superfly back-to-back on solo sessions for something like a week. That totaly busted my knees. First my right knee started to hurt and in a month when I just kept playing it hurt even when walking. That's when I understood that I needed a break.
After a month long break in spring my knees didn't harm so much anymore but when doing Clipper ending symp tricks they always reminded not to do them. I dropped out all the Symp Doubles at that point.
Normal double dexes kept hurting as well but that didn't prevent me from hitting a new WR for Spanishflies - 5
Then at summer I hit my first Beast: Maelstrom > Mullet > Spinning Blender. Usually I hit all my big new combos both sides the same day but I was so happy that I had just hit a beast I didn't go for the other side anymore after hitting it one side. But then everyone I told it about kept asking why I didn't hit it with other side too so I hit that the next day.
Then there were Worlds
An AWESOME experience. I did my best competing, ruined my Shred30 but ended up being 16th in routines. I didn't save my knees when playing in circles and kept hitting Ducking Superflies or Nemesii everytime somebody asked my to, or Superdeeduperfly to end a run with (I still think that was a fluke).My best footbag memory from Worlds was at the amphitheather when I hit Nemesis on command with like more than 20 players watching. My hands started hurting from all those props...
Then to Autumn. My knees were totaly annihilated from busting a week in a row at Worlds so I had to slow down a bit again. I didn't play very much but when I did I played great.
I hit my current fearless record in September (I think it was then): Phoenix > Tomahawk > Spinning Whirl > Tomahawk > Spinning Whirl > Pdx Torque > Pdx Torque > Pdx Blender - 8 contacts.
Then I had my 18th birthday in October
that kinda harmed my shredding because I spent 8 weekends in a row in clubs. AND that harmed my wallet as well :SIn beginning of December were Finnish nationals. I crashed my Shred30 totaly again. But did quite good in routines. My goal was to get into finals and I ended up being 6th! Losing only to all the BAP players.
After the nats my dad finally bought a video capturing card to our comp. That ment that I could edit footage filmed with our analogical camera. You've seen the results already - my blog vids for example.
So now is the year changing. I was going to a party tonigh but it got canceled
So I'll just head to some bar...-------
Tomorrow I'll write about my goals for the upcoming year! Stay tuned.
But now - Happy New Year to Everybody!
