New stuff from today:

Drifter > PDX DLO > Drifter (rpt)
run with Rev-up and Twirl BS
run with Plasma and Fusion BS
PS Whirl > Superfly > PS Whirl > PS Eggbeater
run with Eggbeater BS, DLO > DLO BS, toe ss DLO BS, PDX DLO BS, Gyro DLO and Fog
Revstein! :)

It was a good session. I did my best DLO run ever :) And Revstein, because Radek challenged me to do it. I was close about a year ago, but never hit it. And today on 5th try or something like that it clicked.

We had the "Wykopany Jam" yesterday and it was great! There were about 15 people, from Strzelin, Oława, Chocianów and Warsaw. We shredded, played 4 Square, Net and Frisbee. We had a grill to, so there was something to eat and drink for every participant. The weather was great, blue sky and sun (I even got a little sunburnt :) ).

I played some shred and a whole lot of Net. It was cool to play with better players who could set me up for shots and stuff. My play of the day was digging a vicious spike from Damian Budzik and sending it right behind his back :D In the end we (me and Kosik) played some matches and won one set haha :wink: Tossing frisbee was fun too, I taught Tukan (the guy from Oława how to juggle, and juggled with Bałtyk a bit. I remember hitting Pixie ss Mirage > Tap (rpt) in my Net shoes which was nice :wink:

The atmosphere was super chilly and footbaggy, for days like that I really love this game :D

My dog died, so I feel pretty bad right now. I have to deal with the fact that death is a part of life. That's the second time I lost my dog, but last time I was a small kid so I guess i didn't notice it so much. I wanted to go play some footbag but the gym is occupied by some people that try to find out who they were in their previous lifes ("rebirthers" or something like that). I think I'll go and hook up with my friends.

I actually feel a little better after writing this.

We played in the town center today, because the weather is perfect :) Well, it was a little bit windy, but we could shred no problem. There were 6 players: Wojtas, Radek, Olaf, Artur, Budzik and me. We played for 3 hours, so it was a solid session. My flip Stepping sucked, so I should definitely work on it more, but instead of doing that I schooled my DLOs, and felt an improvement. The best run of the day started with Quantum Drifter and had both Plasmas, PS Whirl x4 and a Pdx Blender. I also had a long run with lots of Whirls. BUT the highlight was ending the whole session with:

Flail > Symp Mirage > ss Symp Mirage (rpt) > Symp Mirage > ss Symp Mirage > Symp Mirage > (DLO > ss DLO (rpt))

I also have Budzik's bag so I have to remember to give it back to him on the next session.

I'd like to take these challenges over. :wink: Especially Symp Torques, because Ners doesn't do them... actually I am responsible for Torques in Wroclaw :P

Props for DLOs and Quantums! Very solid.

If I remember correctly I was hitting Symp Torques when you were still schooling your regular ones Olaf 8) I don't do them as much as you, but it doesn't mean I can't my friend.

I uploaded some older videos on my youtube account, I still have some really old ones I think I'll upload too. Other then that my final exams are getting so close I can feel their cold breatch on my spine. And it sucks. But on the other hand after they're done I'll have 5 months of holidays. And it will rock. So I just need to stay positive!

We played in the Worcella gym today, there was me, Artur and Olaf. I've hit one new trick, which is:

Symp. Whirling Swirling ss Symp. Mirage aka Gamma Jolimont ss Mirage

It was first try too, so pretty sweet :) Other then that I worked on DLOs and Eggbeaters, Pixie sets and flip Stepping. I had one symp. run started with toe Symp. Whirl > Pdx Flail (rpt) > Symp. Mirages. Consecutive Symp. tricks feel cool. I had a couple attempts at Symp. Flux, it's very hard, but after experimenting with set placement and planes of dexing I came kinda close a few times.

It would be nice to hit Eggbeater > Quantum Illusion (rpt) > DLO > Quantum Mirage (rpt). Also Symp. Whirl > Symp. Twirl > Pdx Flail > ss Symp Mirage.

Phew! The first exam is history. I think it went quite well. The first part was reading comprehension (sp?), it was some text about reporters/journalist in the past and today. It wasn't super easy, but after checking the suggested answers I think I could have scored 8/10 points, so not bad. The second part was the essay. There were two "topics" to choose from, the first was about different ways of creating and presenting "countryside" (well something like that, hard to translate) in fragments of two books. The second one was something like "small fatherland, find the role of different references to "Pan Tadeusz" (our national epos) in a fragment of poetic text by someone I don't remember :) I decided to write the first "topic", because I schooled essays that are based on comparing two texts more. After leaving the class where I was writing the exam my legs were shaking haha :) Quite stressful experience. I'm not sure how much points I'm going to get, but I'm optimistic.

In the evening I shredded with Olaf and Rożo in South Park. During the session I felt super weak and dehydrated, which is the result of having a sleepless night before the exam and all the stress. BUT after the session was over I felt definitely much better then before. The work out finally let me relax and took the thinking out of my head. And I've hit Eggbeater > Quantum Illusion (rpt) :D

On Monday I'm writing English, then Knowledge of Society on Tuesday, spoken Polish exam on Wednesday and spoken English on Thursday. Then one week break and History. And then I'm freeeeeeee! :D

Shredded with Radek at Morskie Oko, he was an hour late because the tram he was into broke in the middle of the street and he had to walk most of the way. Finally he arrived and we had a good session. I worked my flip Stepping which of course sucks :) I noticed some improvement, but sometimes I feel like I have 3 different styles of doing clipper sets :roll: Recalling my Barraging sets from the vast nothingness of history felt nice, with some work I've hit Janiwalk, Sunilwalk and Fury on both sides. Had a good run with both Whirrs, Blurry Whirls, PS Whirls and Spinning Whirls. In the end we did a run through the list of basics and finished the session.

Session update - we played at Worcella gym (it was raining so we couldn't shred outside anyway). Almost whole squad showed up, only Radek and Wojtas were missing. Today we focused on schooling concepts, I did some work with Pixie sets, which led to hitting Magellan > Plo (rpt) > Smear > Pixie ss Mirage (rpt) > Pixie Pickup b2b. I'd love to hit Pixie Everything but I'm still far away from it. Eventually it will happen :wink: Other then that I put some more effort into remastering my flip Clip form and correcting the Stepping set on that side. Definitely felt improvement in the end. I just need to remember about some crucial things and it should get reliable again.

Other then that I schooled downtime stuff, Quantums (Quantum Legover > Toe Blur (rpt) worked pretty well today), Flails and Fairy sets. Hitting Stepping Whirl > PS Whirl (rpt) again felt good.

Tommorow I have my English exam, but I'm pretty confident that it will go well, so I'm not so stressed. Which is good.

The English exam went very well, I think I should score about 95%. The next day I was writing Knowlegde of Society, and it was definitely harder :) The first part was troublesome, but the second and third were easier, so it should be ok. Today I had spoken Polish exam, and I was really nervous about it. Thankfully everything worked like it should, and I said all I wanted to say. I got two questions about my presentation. The first one was why Kreon from Sofokles' "Antygona" can be called a tragic character, and the second was why we can call Orwell's "Year 1984" an anti-utopia. I answered the questions pretty precisely so I'm happy with my performance.

Now I'm going to shred my ass of with Bujo from Góra. It should be a good session. Tommorow I have spoken English, but I'm feeling confident. Soon the finals will be over :D

What was your score at this spoken Polish exam?

PS. You should take a camcorder to the session with Bujo ;).

I don't know my score, because while it was beeing published I shredded with Bujo at Morskie Oko :) Hopefully I'll find out tommorow. As I predicted, the session was really good, we had a solid two man circle for about two hours, and then Artur showed up (yeah, a little bit late :wink: ) and we played for about an hour more. It was really refreshing to tear it up with a player I don't see often and we really pushed each other, so lots of new stuff was hit. Some highlights include:

Alpine Fog
Blurry Drifter > PS Whirl (rpt)
DLO > Eggbeater > ss DLO (rpt)
Phoenix > Alpine Blurry Whirl > run with Stepping Whirl, PS Whirl b2b, Fog and Blurrier
Stepping Whirl > Blurry Drifter > far Motion midrun

I schooled my Blenders too, and did some oldies but goodies, like Croxton, Symp. Whirling Barfly or Spinning PS Eggbeater. In the middle of the session we decided to try some Beastly links, and even though no Beasts were hit I was happy with managing to step out of Blurtigo (which may lead to hitting a Beast with this trick in the future). My Quantum sets were working well too, I remember hitting Plasma a lot on both sides and a run with Quantum Drifter too. Too bad we didn't have a camcorder.

Thanks Rozo, I think my flip Stepping is getting a little better. But today I'm celebrating the fact, that my Polish and English spoken exams went extremely well - I scored 20/20 points in both of them :D There's only one exam left, but it's the most important one - History. I'm writing it next week so I have some time to refresh my memory and study more.

Of course I will shred too, because mind exercise shuld be balanced with body practice :) I'm thinking about attempting Fury > Plasma > Mullet, that would be a cool combo. Also Radek wants me to try Mullet Swirl, so I'll give a couple shots at this trick. After my exams are over I'll be a free man, and I'm sure some travelling will happen. Can't wait for it.

Really good session today! Lots of highlights:

Plasma > DLO (rpt) > Butterfly > Alpine Blurry Whirl > run
Quantum Ducking Butterfly BS
Symp. Flux
Torque > Twirl BS

Fury > Plasma > Mullet BS

I'm very happy about the Symp. Flux, because I always thought this trick is close to impossible. It seems my recent work with Flails gave me the speed and dexing ability to pull it off. Also being able to hit a Beast I thought up the day before on both sides was an awesome feeling. Radek asked me to try different stuff, like Mullet Swirl, but I couldn't hit it. Next session tommorow, and now I think I'll study some History.

Today I was playing alone, since Radek decided to stay home and rest for tommorow's session. Because of that I mostly worked on concepts, drills and single tricks. I tried to hit each of the tricks from the Basics List in some kind of drill. This led to one new combination - Grifter > Reverse Whirl, which was fun to hit as it's reversed version of a drill I tend to hit very often. I decided to try Quantum Motion too, and managed to land it in a couple attempts.

Schooled Quantums and Atomics with Rubberman and Blubberman drills, my flipside still has inconsistent set placement, but I'm fixing it. In the end of the session I tried to hit all the basic tricks in a run, with as less drops as possible. I dropped on flip Eggbeater, flip Swirl and flip Symp Whirl. I skipped Grifters though. I fihished the session with 50 contacts BOP run so I should also work on endurance.

EDIT: Forgot about one highlight, which is flip Arch Nemesis! :)
