Yes. I will go to Afrika someday. But not in many years... I gotta graduate and go to the army first...acxel22 wrote:come to afrika with me, always warm
and you would be the badest rock star, no one have mohawks over there
No I didn't. It's just a mirage. Or an illusion. Or maybe there's fog, smoke or smog between you and your computer. Or maybe there's a Leviathan and a Stampede (EDIT: I somehow mixed up stampede and a caterpillarLauri wrote:did you just said you hate finland?!![]()

Friday the thirteenth! omg...
I'm home alone. With lots of candy and Fanta.
I'm going to have a session soon. A filming session.
Ahh.. I'm all alone. That means I can play music and guitar at the same time and VERY loud.

We had a tiny session.. I hit Furious ss Mirage and some drills:
Barfly>Spinning Clipper>rpt
Pdx Whirl>Spinning Clipper>rpt
Blur>Dimwalk>Rpt>Stepping ss Mirage>Parkawalk>Stepping ss Mirage>Parkwalk
^same with illusions instead of mirages.
Barfly>Swirl>rpt (challenge!)
There's going to be a pretty big session today. And we are going to Hesburger after that.

That's one of the funny stories from worlds that I've told to a lot of people
I've had two sessions since the last post...
I can't remember any new tricks been hit...
I really should stop playing footbag for a while...
I've got shin splints, I suck at school, I've had problems with my knees, I've had some footbag depression, exam week starts at the end of this month, and I should start saving money for the worlds already in case I don't get a summerjob.
But I don't want to!! argh.
Bus to the Kisahalli leaves in half an hour.
Should I stay or should I go?
Riku Ahola
Yeah, but I wouldn't suck if I'd do my homework and read instead of going to shred.setman wrote:i suck at school too, but i won't stop !

I woke up pretty early so I had plenty of time to do my homework and to clean my room before I went to Kisahalli.
I brought something to eat from home so I didn't spend any money
I was feeling really good and I hit a lot of new drills and other stuff too.
Drifter x13
Barfly x6
Plasticman Drill
18 Tripless (I think that's my record..)
Drifter>Spinning clipper>rpt
Drifter>Symp whirl>rpt
Drifter>DDD>rpt
Atomic ducking was pretty easy:
Atomic Warrior a couple of times (not new)
Alpine tapdown (not new)
Alpine Atomsmasher (new!)
Alpine Tap (also new!)
I forgot to write that I bought three juggling clubs from Iceman.
40€.. I think that was a pretty reasonable price.
I juggled for about 20 minutes today.
Cascade is pretty easy and I hit some "easy" tricks too.
I'm not gonna shred tomorrow cause I got other things to do...

We had a smooth session today.
I hit high plains drifter BS. And it was verified as clean. I've hit it before but those were the...
I hit triple around the world again. And a short run after that.
I juggled with the clubs for a while... No new tricks. Just drilling the basics..
Nuthin' else, I think........

I also hit my 2-dex record. It's now 10. I think it went like this:
Double Pick-Up>Paradon>Barfly>Barfly>DDD>Barrage>DATW>Terrage>Terrage>DOD
30-31.1.2006
Two days. Two sessions. No sign of any kind of footbag depression anymore
I broke my 3-dex record. It's now 7.
Janiwalker>Flurry>Pigbeater>Smog>Pixie Barrage>Dimmiest>Blurrier
Not a single move from flipside
hmm... I don't think I've hit any new tricks except Diving Ass Stall
I footed some: Flip Mobius, Flip Fury, Plasma BS...
New drill: Drifter>DLO>Toe op Whirl>rpt. I was sooo happy that I finally hit it.
And I also hit the longest drill ever!
Ripwalk>Sidewalk>Step Far Legover>Magellan>Dimwalk>Step Clipper>Schmoe>Parkwalk>Whirl>Ducking Clipper>Diving Clipper>Ducking Butterfly>Repeat
That's 24 unique genuine tricks. A little something after that and it would be a good shred30.
I tried to do an even longer drill today but I always got mixed up or dropped like the 10th trick already...
Also first 5>5 BSOS! (Phoenix>Blurriest)
Probably a new session tomorrow. Not sure.
I have a music test tomorrow morning and after that I have to deliver the papers...

Geez. All that stuff is so ridiculous, Riku!!
I love watching you shred, you've totally gotta be one of my faves!! The first time I saw a video of you I thought you were Yves Kriel with a mohawk... That triple dex combo is DISGUSTING!!!! So is the double dex run...geez.
Props on diving ass stall!
Will you post videos??????
:D:D

Thanks Erik. I'm not gonna make any videos until I get that Firewire.
The quality really sucks without one. I'll buy one by the end of this month...
And Kamil, you'll have to wait until worlds... I don't have money to go on any other tournaments in Europe
I've been playing guitar a little every day. I'm happy about that.
But I noticed that my playing technique kinda sucks.. Gotta work on that today...
I'm still not sure if I'm going to shred today.......................

Biggest session after worlds!!! There were 15 players! That's more than in Finnish champs! Which is kinda sad...
I hit Pdx Whirling Swirl and Flipside Whirling Swirl for the first time.
But at the end of the session my IljaBag broke again

3.1.2006
Pretty shitty session... I couldn't hit any good runs nor big tricks.
So I only practiced some basic trics.
And I hit 963 toe stalls!! Old record was about 340 or something like that.
I couldn't get anywhere near that 400 inside stalls (which is the new world record by Michal Ostrowski)
