Sitarski's Dragonblog - guess the move on pg 8

Sitarski · Post by **Sitarski** » 10 Mar 2006 16:19

Deciding to start a blog and see how I progress. I live in Maine, the state of lobsters and blueberries, amazingly exciting.

THis last month has been a real success; I've hit pixie ducking double downing osis, flipwalk, and paradon spitfire. This last week all the sessions I've had I hit no clippers (well hit a few clippers on accident), replaced with dragons and xbody rakes.

Session #1 (1 hour):
-dragon slayer bs
-hit paradon spitfire a second time on strong side
-Hoe > xbody rake [rpt]
-hit fireflys with ease usually bsos like firefly > pdx mirage > firefly
-flip pteradon

Next session I want lengthen my strings, hit flip spitfire and maybe even flip paradon spitfire

oh and of course dragon starting and ending nemesis heheh

Nice weather today, 55 degrees and sunny, but a bit windy and got shin splints from hell today.

Session #2
(1 hour : total 2 hours)
-Spitfire from toe bs
-PLO > pixie dragonosis > dragonosis > legover > fire..(drop)

Not really a good session kind of drilling dragons over and over, trying to get that good crank and the set straight up.

Next session want to work on firefly > firefly links and longer string lengths
oh and of course dragon starting and ending nemesis heheh

Bleh session, seems as though my dragons are getting progressively worse.

Session #4

-Drilled dragons over and over

Next session more drilling, ducking from dragon to dragon, firefly> firefly, lengthen strings.

An ok session, nothing great and nothing horrible. Went down to tiltess level with dragons and got around 10 contacts on average. No clippers in this session, I think I'll just keep it this way.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a camera to record my sick 1...

Session #5
(1 hour : total 4 hrs 40 mins)
-quantum firefly one side and footed quantum firefly on flip, suprised myself since I don't really try quantums.
-firefly > firefly
-found what I was doing wrong on setting from a dragon

Next session drill more, ducking from dragon to dragon and lengthen strings.

You're the man dude. *cough* FOOTAGE *cough* No seriously though, I hope I get to see something from you or you at least go to grass. Otherwise I'm coming up to New Hampshire or whatever lame state you live in and kidnapping you.

Took footage, turned out crap quality so I'm going to go back to filming but with a higher quality since I figured out how to change it and will try to get some on Film. The camera only does 15 sec videos and it only has a 8mb stick (enough to fit one good clip) and to top it off the battery dies in 5 mins, but I will get better footage.

Last two sessions have been not bad. Nothing really new.

Session #6 & 7
(4 hrs : Total 8hrs 40mins)
-List of things that suck: Flip quantum and atomic (so-so), flip double dexes, and fireflys.
-almost dexed some wierd set - toe(set) > op in > same out
-annoyed with dragons

Next session: Fireflys, footage of some stuff (hopefully sick 1) and the stuff above that suck.
Pending: ducking from dragon, stepping from dragons

Sitarski · Post by **Sitarski** » 21 Mar 2006 13:22

Ok, got 3 clips on film. In order: Dragon slayer (atomic firefly), pixie spitfirefly, and paradon spitfire. The dragon slayer was from 2 days ago before knowing about the higher quality option. Link:
3-moves

Sore from yesterday's session.

Session #8
(1 hr : Total 9hrs 40mins)
-Realized that my flip quantum is not bad at all, both sides are pretty much equal.
-Got 2 moves on film.
-toe blur one side
-spitfirefly bs
-Noticed that the dragons set a little higher

Next Session: Flip toe blur, Flip atomics and flip double dexes, fireflys, more on film, longer strings... much longer strings.
Pending: Dragon stepping, ducking from dragon

Sewn my first playable bag, not the best but it does its job. A two panel with bbs and plastic pellets as filler, smaller than a sandmaster. Played with it in the 10th session and it is a clipper virgin

.

Forearms sore from lugging rocks around yesterday... yeah.

Session #9 & 10
(2hr 45min : total 12hrs 25mins)
-flip toe blur, satisfied with both side quantums now
-flip dso a few times
-dragon > outside > outside > dragon
-PLO > PLO > dragon > far legover > dragon (drop)
-drilled dragons with new bag
-1 hour net hack

Next session: More flip atomics, more flip double dexes, fireflys, more on film preferrably my sick 1, lengthen strings quite a bit.
Pending: Dragon stepping, ducking from dragon

Weird thing happened, when I was turning off my mp3 player a live evanescence song was finishing up and I went inside, but on my computer the exact song was playing the last minute. There are 2000 songs on the computer and mp3 player and both were playing shuffled

.

Oh well, short session just drilling. Didnt want to tire my muscles out before tomorrow where I shred for 2 hours with the orono gang. Was sick for a few days but still played and somehow these session were good. Looks like my sick 1 is not happening maybe next time.

-PLO > PLO > dragon > dragon > legover..... (one of the first times hitting dragon > dragon midstring)

props on dso bsos, Adam.

Do you have any polish family in Poland ?

Sitarski · Post by **Sitarski** » 01 Apr 2006 07:41

Hey, thanks. Haha how did you know?

Actually I was the first person born in the states in my family, my grandmother aunt and cousins live in Warsaw I believe, or near there.

-footed flip dragon > ducking dragon twice

Next session: actually hit flip dragon > ducking dragon, flip atomics, string lengthen (more variety also) and hit something out of drag > outside pixie and drag > atomic

Sitarski · Post by **Sitarski** » 03 Apr 2006 19:17

A Monday session, need to say more?

Session #16
(2hrs : Total 22hrs 5mins)
-pixie ss dragon bsos
-dragon > hoe
-lap > ducking lap (haha)

Changing this whole what I want to work on next session to just goals I want to hit during this summer. Also going to hit 100 consecutive dragons before each solo session each leg (maybe not 100 but as close as I can get).

Goals for summer: actually hit flip dragon > ducking dragon, flip atomics, string lengthen (10+ guiltless with dragons only), hit something out of drag > outside pixie and drag > atomic, dragon stepping, solid fireflys, dragster, dragon whirls, dragon torque, drifting rake, pteradon more solid, and others I will want to hit.

setman · Post by **setman** » 03 Apr 2006 21:03

what is lap ?

Sitarski · Post by **Sitarski** » 04 Apr 2006 04:56

Lap stall, putting legs together and stalling on top of both thighs and in a sort of sitting position. I hope that makes some sense.

Sitarski · Post by **Sitarski** » 06 Apr 2006 13:05

Session #17
(1hr : total 23hrs 5mins)
-110 dragons bs, 40 pickups bs
