Had a session with Dan today, was good to see him enjoying his shred. He hit whirr BSOS and pixie double down and some really good combos. Thing started off slowly, but got better during the session, worked on flip clipper for a lot of the session and ended up hitting pdx illusion and pdx mirage bsos

did more illusions and eggbeaters, and a bit more pixie stuff. Finished off with a mega run that included: ducking mirage,symp mirage, eggbeater, some illusions, some pixie stuff and finished with a toe DLO. Talk about ending a session on a good note

new moves: lynton style flapper set legover, pinchy symp mirage and pixie op clipper (flip clipper too

)
new links: pdx mirage bsos and pdx illusion bsos

edit: totally forgot, hit DATW for the first time in shoes, out to in on strongside

hey everyone
we had a good kick today
i agree with janis
the best stuff that janis did today was doing left clipper> right toe repeat
and strong clipper set spinning attempts
his weak clipper is improvving
and i am thougherly delighted by what i do see
sunday kick looks good to go
i was directed to the posts on net
i actually have a badminton net which we can use
so we could actually play this weekend if ppl want to
we may also witness the return of music
janis is trying to fix my radio player atm
so that will be good
also, i didnt hit whirr bsos
but i hit other stuff that i dont remember
i am feeling quite relaxed when i play now, so its good
no pressure
dan

Yeah, I stayed up to watch the soccer, 2-2 so Australia progresses to the next round. Played some pool, I really suck now, but so much fun.

Short session at home, did some more flip clipper stuff, and drilled some tiltless. 9 contacts of pixie>illusion and atw in>atw out>pixie>rpt x3. Also did a bit of toe diving, but didn't really hit anything out of it.

new moves: Lynton style knee delay, flip clipper set mirage(near) and flip clipper set DLO

So sore today, definately not going to take inflamitories and shred anyway, from now on if I'm sore I'll take a break. Some of my relatives came to melbourne today for their flight tommorow. Practiced the spinning motion today, without a bag(cause I lost mine), got some more confidence in flip clipper spinning now.

janis · Post by **janis** » 01 Jul 2006 21:42

Had a short session with Dan today. Now I've got a bag, even though it's an ace32p its better than nothing. After the session we went to vic market to have a look for some world cup soccer shirts.

janis · Post by **janis** » 03 Jul 2006 06:17

thx, I've hit PS mirage before

Session with Alex today in the carpark at his place. Alex was owning it up like usual, hitting lots of pdx whirls and really good swirls, I recon he'll hit revstein soon. I was getting really close to assasin, footed it a few times and finally hit pinchbeater, it took at least 50 attempts to figure out how to do it properly but I reckon I've got the idea now.

new move: pinchbeater

Played with Dan earlier today, some people I vaugley know were filming some stuff at fed square for their tv show. We hit a really good doubles run for camera, that was great

later on I played with Alex, such an awsome session

, Alex was hitting really good torques, DLOs and blenders, and had the best osis and clipper form I've ever seen. For some reason ducking and diving were really strong for me today, the best it's ever been. Had a good run with 4 ducking mirages(1 on flip), footed merkon, pdx torque and pdx eggbeater. Hit heaps of new moves and links

new moves:
toe diving mirage
toe diving pickup
toe ducking pickup
toe diving legover
flip toe ducking legover

toe ducking clipper

props man, ducking's looking pretty tight!

janis · Post by **janis** » 10 Jul 2006 22:13

Had a bit of a session (about 1 and half hours), tried to do lots of legovers, best attempts were 24 ,29 and 35 annyoing because I had the stamina to go on but no the concerntration. meh, will try again later anyway. Did some pickups and toe ducking (6 consec ducking toe), flip clipper is way better now. As for clipper game, I hit 7 consec ss clipper on flip and ss clipper>op clipper> rpt.
