I'm really happy to hear that you're throwing down osis more, cause for a while I thought you might have forgotten about them

HARDCORE schooling session today. decided to play footbag instead of go to jiu jitsu.. which seems to be happening a lot lately.

hit flip drifter 3/10 and strong drifter 5/10 .. attempted way more than that but i wanted to see vaguely how consistent i was.... (not consistent enough.) drifter>drifter twice

paradox drifter BSOS! first time hitting it flip!!

i had a revelation about my atomic because jeremy was trying to teach me quantum yesterday, and said i should be jumping off the opposite foot like other sets; well, i guess i hadn't been doing this and that's why i was missing atomic lately.

today i hit legbeater both sides, tapdown, crispy eggbeater, atomsmasher both sides FOOTED bsos

hit curve but no seal; it was flukish but i got real excited anyways.

i took my challenge sheet with me and tried some of the drills, hit mirage>pixie>mirage>pixie 28 contacts

ss clipX5>infinity>osis>infinity>ss clipX5>infinity>osis. took me soooo long to get that far.

hit clip>ss legover>ss clip>ss pickup>ss clip>ss mirage>ss clip>ss illusion BSOS>opp clipper>ss pickup>ss clipper>far legover>opp clip>pdx mirage>opp clip>pdx mirage>drop

at the end of the session i decided to warm down with consecutive clippers..

hit 25 consecutive same side clippers left foot, tried to hit it bsos but missed the first contact cus my legs were so tired.
Hit 22 consecutive, 23, then 28 on my right foot. i dropped on 29 as i collapsed to the floor in utter exhaustion. this marked the end of the session. hope i can walk tomorrow.


*EDIT* I sat down for 20 minutes and then got up; my hips feel like im 130 years old. thanks atomic!

[David Morawski]

Three hour solo session = beastly. You are a Greek god.

Hit 22 consecutive, 23, then 28 on my right foot. i dropped on 29 as i collapsed to the floor in utter exhaustion. this marked the end of the session. hope i can walk tomorrow.
