had to go and search for our blog. it got lost on page two.



yeah. kick-mas-jam was a lot of fun!!
my legs feel like ones of an eighty-year-old woman right now though. :?
actually i'm too lazy to write a long report about kick-mas-jam, so just a few things:

friday:
that's mainly the reason why my legs are so very tired right now.
i hadn't played since any other players outside of vienna since worlds, so i was so looking forward to shredding hard and well.
it didn't work so well, because i think i put too much stress on myself. like i wanted to show that i progressed, but because of this and because of shredding the previous four days, my legs were tired.
i had a few nice runs though.
i can't remember what i hit in my runs though, besides a run with smear>atomsmasher and ripstein, and fairy whirl>barfly. also tried to hit pixie double over down, but failed. also tried to hit whirr and failed. :evil: however, i hope that soon those tricks will be mine.
i played for 3 hours and had to stop, because nobody wanted to play with me anymore, because they were too tired. losers! :wink:
then alex and me had a footbag show at 12 o'clock. didn't go too well, because it was so dark that i couldn't see the bag.
went to the party at 2 o'clock, got home at 5.

saturday:
was pretty tired the whole day and was very slow in every move i did. it took me two hours to eat breakfast and take a shower. :o
the club where kick-mas-jam took place was pretty nice. just for playing it wasn't good. well, it wasn't austrian championships, but just kick-mas-jam.
both shredding and my routine didn't work. had 6 drops! that really sucked! also, i felt like i was gonna die when playing on stage. my legs felt so tired at that moment. i guess they also were, since i had played so much the day before.
nevertheless i won, because everybody sucked even more than i did.
i think that everybody's routine was quite bad though. almsot everybody had so many drops.
the party was a lot of fun. after the club closed we went to ali's place. went to sleep at 7:30.

sunday:
met hania and ales and tried to shred. wahhh! it was an horrible session!

monday:
kick-mas-jam was over, but alex, hanna and me had to do a footbag-show.
it went surprisingly well though!!
i only warmed up for 10 minuted and hadn't done a single whirl or ripwalk when the show started. 8O
that was because it had started ten minutes earlier.
however, i played pretty easy, but still did all our synchro stuff dropless. i only had a drop on pdx whirl in the very end and dropped our last trick (datw)...well...i hadn't warmed up, so i wasn't surprised and also they cut of the music, so i was a bit confused.
still, 2 drops in 3:08 minutes is pretty good. :)



today i need a rest. also my ankle hurts a bit, because yesterday i twisted it again.

It was the opposite way for me. Friday was one of the best performances of this show I ever did! And at monday's show I sucked sooo bad.

Kickmas-Jam was so much fun. First vid is in the Party at Alis thread on footbag.org. It has nothing to do with footbag and is mostly in german, so maybe don't waste your time :wink: Hope it's still up (yousendit.com :? )

Will post the results tomorrow, don't remember exactly now.

See you tomorrow, David!

yeah. i'm back.
i hardly played footbag the last three weeks. three times in total.
i've got two ilja-bags and new g-units for christmas though.
i've been to the mountains (tyrol) snowboarding and polishing lots of cutlery.
i celebrated new year's eve in innsbruck.
and i've been to upper-austria for four years.

well. actually after this break, i'm very motivated to play footbag again. don't know when i can start to play again, since i caught a nasty cold.

Oh no!
I hope you get well soon (tomorrow)!

Also played not much footbag. once last week and I will play tomorrow. That sucks. Especially because I had 2 weeks of holiday and I end up playing two times :(

Had a short (a bit hung-over) session with Verena yesterday. Verena didn't feel good at all, that sucked. Drilled flip pixies and got a new drill:
smear > dimwalk > blur rpt.
also hit dragon first time
at the end we trained 2 bag juggling. So much fun and it's getting to feel better. Will do this more often :) Maybe the next time I'll don't drop it in my show/routine as usual.
Can't wait to shred again on Wednesday.

1st day of work after holiday wasn't as horrible as I thought. Nearly fell asleep, but whatever... I'm now a senior research assistant :wink:

Thanks David!
End of january I'll fly to Frankfurt for 3 days, getting shooled in quantum :) Unfortunatly not the footbag-set. The program I work with is also called quantum :roll: I'll check if Frankfurt is cool enough for worlds 8)

Had some sessions lately and drilled a lot of flip pixies (finally :oops: ) and did or tried a lot of drills.
new stuff:
- pixie legover x10 or more (stopped counting cause I thought I messed up)
- flip smear x4
- flip magellan midstring
- flip pixie drifter
- tap > atomsmasher bs
- atomic drifter :D
- dlo > whirl > drifter rpt. feels nice

Also sewed a bit :)

hello philip. nice to hear from you. hope to see you at 3:30 pm today. :twisted:

.
.
yeah. after the three weeks break i took due to snowboarding and being sick, i had a pretty hard time getting back.
i've been playing again for a little over a week now, and i'm starting to get the feeling for the bag again. really, i just didn't play for three weeks and all of a sudden even mirages and especially clippers felt so different. still don't understand what happened.

so no new tricks for me. a few things that i was satisfied with were:
-flip pixies out of fear feeling nice
-ss smear x3 (including 2 flip ss smears)
-smear>magellan>pixie rake
-my pdlo's were feeling nice
-blender>pdx drifter
-juggling...changing feet twice

yeah. can't remember anything right now. my list up there looks pretty stupid. well, hopefully this week will be better.
however. i'm still playing footbag. :lol:
two more footbag-sessions for this week, then i'll go to upper-austria for a snowboard-tour! yeah!

decided to have a short session (1 hour) by myself, because i can't make it to today's training session.
just drilled my pixies and stepping and it wasn't too bad. even though my legs were pretty tired they felt very strong.
however. i decided to do double dexes in the end. and finished with flip paradoning ankle twisting. i hate that shit. i twist my ankles so often. wahhh. it really hurt. just hope that the ice i'm curently putting on it, will help. i'm supposed to go snowboarding tomorrow! :cry:
it's always my left ankle that i'm twisting!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
