Why does Daryl always write so much in here ?

The more clipper work i do, the more footbag dreams come true

I started my solo session with a bunch of clippers and basic drills like
ss clip>ss legover>sspick up> ss mirage rpt, then the same drill with
ss butters instead of clippers, infinities and butter>whirl.

In the spirit of anti-neglegence, i also drilled some toe moves, mainly
(pdx) illusion and tapping legover .

Playing in a powerful, yet relaxed manner is one of the best feelings
that i know of - plus the shift towards a more balanced game makes
me sweat a litlle less and makes everything look a little bit better .

My mom likes pdx dlo .


tapping legover>ducking mirage>ss butter>pdx mir>tapping leg

d.mirage>ss dlo>rpt>sealed with 5 or so guiltless contacts

atomsmasher>dimwalk>ducking butter

ducking butter>blur>atom


PS WHIRL to handcatch with good form

Why weren't you in Praha?

[Asmus]

video.. i want to see a video..

[dazza]

Why weren't you in Praha?

Hey J ! I didnt make it to Prague cause i celebrated my birthday party on the same weekend, and you only turn 30 once, at least thats what i've heard..
If u find the time, please write a full Todexon review in ur blog ! That would be nice .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Fifth sesh in a row and i found out something quite valuable for my game :
there's a fairly big number tricks that i've hit so far and many of them,
i can do on command so to speak , but i tend to neglect a lt of em,
because i dont link em to other, more standard moves.
Drillwise, my main focus was always on hitting hard ( instead of useful ) drills,
and it happened a lot of times that i kinda
forgot about many of these after hitting them

So, what i do need tha most - and thats what i did 2day without knowing it -
is close work on important single moves and links !
I mean, what the use of all the variety in the world, if you fail to connect
all your different elements ?


new mini links

d.clip>blur>ss butter>whirl bs

paradon>ducking clipper

para>whirl

para>drifter

ducking butter>drifter

symp mirage>atomsmasher rpt



Mr Asmus, i'd also like to make a new vid...but...ahh srew that,
i ask my buddy to bring his cam next time we play !

Daryl - happy birthday - keep it up

[dazza]

Thanx Jochen !


Munich is so fresh and beautiful right now, spring is in full effect -
the perfect excuse for spending time outside with friends, ice cream,
bavarian food and beer instead of studying history !

My legs were really heavy from all the previous sessions, but if you're
chillin in europes biggest park, in shorts and lavers, a small session is
kinda inevitable !

I messed around, did a little tiltless, some juggling, then i decided to
try some fn single trix since i lacked focus and endurance to do anything
more crowd pleasing.
For some obscure reasons, i hit far butterfly swirl , definitly one
of my favorite feelings so far i dunno, but i really enjoy the possible
gracefulness and "fine-tuning" that one aquires by learning clipper
tricks like that . Juho must be such a happy boy !

My girlfriend liked the trick too and asked for the names and differences
of all the swirl moves, and after hitting far symple swirl she was like
"that wasnt bad, but i would like to see you doing that move all on one
side" . I was perplexed, to say the least - befor her request, i couldnt
even wrap my head around near symple swirl, but i've always loved it,
when Lise or Stefan hit them. Suddenly it was all crystal clear, and i hit
it after 3 minutes of practice thanks darling <3

[dazza]

Somehow i couldnt fit these into my previous post

eclipse

ducking clipper>near symple swirl

ripwalk>near symple swirl

paradon>near symple swirl

[dazza]

I never thought that clipper tricks could be so much fun, and i also used
to believe that i will never learn them i never thought that i will ever
be able to hit stuff like tomahawk or far butterfly swirl .
Toe tricks used to fit my style the best, since i am not the greatest
technician, but realesing high energy in a fast and agressive way is
excactly my thing . The little advancements i made in regards of fine tuning
and a more relaxed, technical way of going about the whole footbag thingy
made me realize how hard dominatrix actually is !

In that spirit, i worked some more on clipper tricks and links, mainly
whirl, drifter, ducking butter, symple swirl and paradon .
The session itself was kind of funny, cause i never footed more kool
stuff in one sitting and felt like progressing nevertheless .

I know what to do to get clipper set drifter down, i found a more efficient
whirl tech and i believe in the whole "impossible is nothing" more than ever .

THANK YOU FOOTBAG .

Hey man, this season seems to become the "Spring of Swirls". Props!

I'm slowly getting the hang of swirl AND reverse swirl, too.

Man, you gotta come to Olybad today, we gotta skool dem swörls like crazee!

requests for the next session:

osis>near symple swirl
alpine atomsmasher (please!)
anything else

[Asmus]

we gotta skool dem swörls like crazee!

I am going to start spelling it that way now, so much cooler.

Funny how all three of us just started getting the hang of swirls..
Race to Ripstein?

The story with your girlfriend and near symple swirl is awesome.. Thanks for making me smile.

I want to shred with you soon..

SWÖÖÖRL!..

How is your fairy set? Fairy Swirling/Phasing isn't really that hard.. Give it a try.

[dazza]

butter>drifter>ducking clipper >10 guiltless of the usual content

[Asmus]

I challenge you to hit Symp Atomic SS Kneebump SS Symp Butterfly without planting the leg you start from..

I really don't know where that came from..

[dazza]

its normal for kids your age to experiment with all kinds of substances...
and some people continue this way, which might explain this :




other than that i hit :

spinning clipper>blur>butter bs ( almost b2b )

tap>ducking legover rpt

ss butter>diving mirage rpt

ducking clip>tomahawk and ducking clip>spinning clip>tomahawk

[ebo]

those are some massive combos, man!

you're so inspiring.

next week we gotta shred again!

[dazza]

Thanks Bjoern ! Next week sounds good

Before Work Session :

It was mainly clipper to clipper, i skooled ducking, stepping, butters,
spinning clipper, whirl and combinations of those.

spinning clipper>>whirl bs

ducking clip>diving clip>whirl bs

ducking mirage>butter>whirl>pdx mir>d.mir>butter>whirl>catch

sidewalk>ducking clipper>rpt - i wanted this combo so bad, since i saw Stefan doing it in Ians great Heroes vid

butter>whirl>rpt gets heaps easier, so do ducking clip>stepping/whirl .


hooray .

[dazza]

quick 30 minute evening shred :

butter>ducking clipper>ducking mirage>ss butter>ducking clipper>ducking mirage>butter>butter>pdx mirage

ducking butter>d.mirage>some bops bs

lots of spins and ducks .

[dazza]

That two day break was much apreciated by my legs, it felt good to
be all fresh . Still working on the same downtime moves, still trying
to get efficient bops and reliable dexless abilities .
I also practiced stepping, double dexes, pdx dlo and atomic.

paradon>pdx mirage>rpt>nice seal

paradon>ducking butter bs

long ducking/bop runs

ducking clipper>stepping clipper>symple swirl

atomsmasher>paradon>butterfly swirl - easily the coolest sick i've hit
so far - it was completly random and second try

it felt good to hit pdx dlo, para, drifter, whirl bsos midstring

longer runs with a nice mix of elements - yeeeeey !

[Asmus]

That photo up there is awesome..!!

paradon>pdx mirage>rpt>nice seal

BAP-drill soon?

Have you hit any 6adders? If yes then which? I just hit my first one

[dazza]

Hi Asmus ! What is the bap drill ? Anyways, i have hit a six - phoenix rake -
getting the cleanliness twice after 50 tries, so i decided i'm not quite ready
for that kinda stuff . I'll learn ps whirl real good, then i give it another shot,
just gimme two months ! What have you hit - i bet its something
unusual and stylee

I guess i'm at a crucial stage of my footbag developement right now ;
all the clipper trix i've been drilling begin to make sense midrun, the toe
stuff, flip pixie excluded, is still there . My runs are still abit short, but
the time for integration is nigh and i just have to remind myself how
happy i will eventually be whenever i get tired of skooling .
I dont have any exciting things to post, its always the same stuff,
just put together differently, some runs are shorter, some average around
acceptible 15 contacts . I cant wait for the times when i can hit everything
in one run, well "everything ", but you know what i mean .

Until that big breakthru is in full effect, i will rather talk about my feelings
towards footbag than posting every little combo that i nail for the first time.
Unless its something that i want to share, like my last sick 3 .

It feels good to start strings with spinning clip>stepping something,
it feels good to hit paradon and whirl midstring more often, both sides
of course . Another cool thing was that i was able to seal symple swirl
with osis and pdx mirage for the first time .
Re-working clippers is probably the smartest and most rewarding thing
i did footbagwise so far .

yeah.

[Asmus]

BAP-drill is Paradon > Blur [rpt] Give it a try or 2.. And tell me when you hit it..

Yeah its unuasual and stylee but still legit and cool as hell.. hehehe.. will hopefully post a video of it soon.

Talking about video.. You should make one soon!
