Yeah my first session outside today :D It was awesome!But the strong wind created inconvinience but i got used to it.
Worked on my tiltles the best run was with 15-20 tiltles tricks and in the middle i did butterfly>pdx mirage.Also a good run was which ended with butterfly>pdx mirage>butterfly :D
Outside rules i spent 2 hour's training,warmed up with kicking at home,stretched and went to shred :)

Wow it's been a long time since I've posted in here. Way to keep the blog going. It's nice to read the info you all have posted. :D

Anyways, I've had to take a short break from footbag due to illness, lack of space, and then lack of sanity (my professors are killing us with exams and papers). But things are beginning to look up (though I still have a paper and a test on Friday).

I've had a number of solo sessions (dorm room style) just trying to get back the little skill I had. It didn't take as long as I thougth it would. Now I'm just trying to work my flipside (which is horrible now). That's my main focus. I find it's too easy for me to work my strong side because it feels good to hit stuff, but I know deep down that I have to work my flipside if I"m going to get anywhere. ::sigh:: oh well.

Well that's all for now.

Peace and newby love,

Hey all :) had a cool day today.Toke part in a transaliton competion,i had to transale from english to russian.A girl was reading sentence's and i had to translate right after.Well i managed to do pretty good but not so :) still it was fun.But i had to wait so loooong for my turn,good thing there were two really cute girls-student's i had a nice chat with them :).
After the competition i stretched at home and went shreding.Toke a little radio with me,so now i have music when i shred outside!As i was going to the stadium i met my naiber from the first floor,he was like where are you going, to train said I ) i said ill show him what i will do.So im like in pant's doing toe>op toe and then did i mirage he was already like omfg :D.Then i toke the pant's of and started doing all kind's of tiltles stuff,he was impressed! :D

Also while i was training a lil kid with a football came over and started hiting it against the wall and later his dad comes and ask's me am I doing it(shreding) to improve my football skill's im like no it's a sport.He told me he know's and even said that they play over a net too, i was surprised.He saw it on tv.

About the stuff i did
lots n lots of tiltles strings
For the first time linked dlo! I started with lo>dlo>mirage and then more tiltles like 6 contact's and 2 btfly's.It was cool :D
Learned to spin :) made me dizzy almost fell trying to hard :lol:

Btw the first 14th paneled bag i stitched yesterday turned out to be sooo small like a penny, i gave it to Zenja she said she will hang it on her keys :D

Hmmm today was a cool session,though i had to stitch my friend a footbag really really fast before the session.The first session with someone outside ) Ramil and Ilja are going to freestyle too :D.Ilja is working on his basic stall's he managed to do a weak cliper today and Ramil is going a bit faster he did mirage for the first time today!
While we trained some lil kid's came over we talked to them,gave em bag's to tryout a kid managed to do a toe stall,they will buy my 14th panel bag's tomorrow(two of them) the third will buy on sunday.I will sell them for 2 usd.And another guy ordered a bag.I've haven't been stitching for a week and im already going to get some cash for it :) that's cool.
I've schooled titles today, i hit more bsos butterfly's in my strings that feel's cool,makes my string's more interesting.I didn't hit any moves lately,though i didnt try to, i want to get my basic down really good.
So i have to stitch two bag's till tomorrow 6 o'clock.I will do one now and one tomorrow after breakfast.
Im really happy Ilja and Ramil are geting serious about shreding! I will have someone to shred with :)

Oh yeah and my mom gave me money to buy laver's! So im sending them tomorrow wooooot :D
