I need to stop playing.. I say this every day and still dont do it
result: I have troubles kicking the bag 3 times because I have so much pain in my legs now..
anyways I managed to hit drifter>drifter today... toe set ss motion yesterday.. and some other stuff.. like I finally ducked strong pixie again (havent been able to in over a year) .. didnt land a trick but ducked it yesterday and today.. flip pixie is duckable all the time.. just need to be concentrated...

I need to rest..

for the last 3 weeks I don't feel I did any progress, in fact, I haven't been looking to progress, just playing with what I'm good at..
I played a lot, usualy 6 times a week.. I'll take a small break and get my 100% energy back.

on another note, I'm starting a new job tomorrow, video game tester.. probably no more then 3 months, but it will be fun

Props on whirlwind!

thanks fletch

so I still feel really off footbag, even tough I may still be the player in montreal who shows up the most to every session...

today motivated me for 2 reasons, even if I feel I played bad again

got a 6 contact pixie shuffle

and one move wich I love so much and never tought of hitting, far symple swirl! this move is so cool, and the way I hit it was really epic..

me : "Hey Koa check this out!"

he looks

BAM ! first try far symple swirl

I wont go to funtastics since I feel really off, and the plane costs doubled within the past days... that sucks

yess.. my first date since I got back from africa tonight, and I got screwed by a stupid "I dont feel weel, maybe next weekend"

I got screwed.. Well screw her, footbag solo sess instead

worked on some stuff, I didn't school enough stuff for too long, even if I still play enough, I feel lot of elements of my game are getting worst all the time

worked on whirls, eggbeaters, then it was getting dark and I had too much problems with ducks ans spins, especially with the non stable ground in my parking ....

then worked on steps, especially flip... playing on tip of toes helps so much, 3 consec ripwalks...
I stoped after..

time to eat alone, or maybe head ot head with my bag and date it...!

Goldberg or no Goldberg, I'm positive we'll have some good 'ole, fun-ass, laughing-my-ass-off 4-Square with you and Kolo. 2 1/2 more months!

Good work on all your drifter/pixie/d.butter madness and thanx again for your helpful advice on gyro dlo ; helped me loads .

Thinking about it, might steal your latest toe drill for my own selfish reasons

So I've been playing the past 3 days, even with huge sleeping problems, not many long runs, but worked many links I've never done before. It felt good to hit many new combos without too many attempts.

Also PS Whirl is getting more consistant. I foot it almost every time now instead of having the bag land next to my foot. I can hit it more often as well. I think it's safe to say in a month or two this will be an easy move.

I'm starting to like playing by myself.

I found a cool place to shred at, but the weather is so cool now that I can't shred there, but managed to kick for 8 minutes. It was so cold my legs felt twice as heavy and it was hard to kick the bag

The place looks good, I look forward to kick there next year.

Hi Mathieu, i'm .... the other Mathieu from Montreal

. Just fall on your post here and thought I'd read it, I see you made big improvements since 2 years, been a while I didn't come to shred with you guys. Still playing and trying to improve my clipper game a lot, should see me again soon.

Oh and, I liked the place you found at the tam-tam place, hope to shred there next summer!

see you in Chicago.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 09 Nov 2006 09:58

Alright Jeremy! Good news knowing you'l be in Chicago! I tought you where not going to be there this year.

Thanks for reading Mathieu, keep playing, will see you again soon, maybe when I come back from Paris!

I'm taking the plane tonight, hope to have some good fun at french open, and hopefully be completely restored from my sleeping problems once I arrive there. I've had sleep problems for the past 2 weeks and it shows when I play, I get tired faster..

MatS21 · Post by **MatS21** » 09 Nov 2006 11:04

Well I continue to play and I'm getting some new stuff, just want to tell you good luck for your tourney there! Hope to shred soon.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 22 Nov 2006 19:55

some new stuff lately
fairy sets are now possible.. before I did sucky fairys and would only do fairy ss osis, fairy ss pickup, fairy ss mirage..

Now I can do fear, fairy ss whirl, fairy buterfly (ss and op), fairy ss legover... and some others.. only one side but still major improvement

Also working a lot on flip DLO now.. I used to suck so bad at it, and now it's getting better and better.. I can do it midstring, and out of many moves, but it's not consistent yet.. hit some stuff like pixie ss clip > dlo > rpt whirl > dlo bsos...

also flip gyro DLO !

nice playing with you at the Fr open! props on fairy and flip gdlo too

Had a sess today, some stuff.. but when I got home while watching an hockey game I felt like hitting something that has been missing in my game for way too long, the 1 missing datw. On flip toe, o-i.

Well after trying it for the last period, the OT, and the shutout, I finally hit it. I'm happy about this! More then hitting vortex over 20 times today, and footing it flipside!
