I was yesterday in my college to check the results of two exams. I failed one of them but it's not a problem because I'm changing colleges. I was also in the new college with the application. I wanted to turn on the machine of changing colleges but unfortunatelly I came too late and the Dean wasn't at his office anymore. I have to go there tomorrow. But it wasn't a waste of time! When I was coming back home I found 5 zł on the street :).

In the afternoon I went to the shred. There were a lot of players again: Cod, Sebastian, Werek, Mateusz, Krzysiek, Chester and some new guy whos name I didn't remember. It was a pretty nice shred. I had some long nice runs. I didn't hit any new trick, though. Krzysiek has hit TATW mid a small run. Chester and I were trying to do a run with as many 5-adders as we can. We were tired already and have both did only 5. I had a combo with Dominatrix, Beta Blur, Merlin, both Phoenixes and dropped Darkwalk. And he had a combo with both Blurry Whirls, Superfly, Spinning Whirl, Sumo and footed PS Whirl or something similar. After more than 2 hours of shredding we decided to play some 4 Squares. Chester had to go back home and the new guy was still practicing Toe Stalls so we there were 5 people playing. I won almost all matches 8). At the end we played some matches with the freaky rules, for example: tell some color name on every kick, colors can't repeat; the same with female names; same with countries names; same with capital cities; do a spin after every kick outside your square; and many others. It was a lot of fun and we were looking like idiots I think :D.

Today I was on the training with my brother, Hubert. I was playing not so well. And after the shred I felt a pain in my right shin. I have to make a small break. Hubert had one highlight. He has hit Paradon Swirl! Too bad his combos are still ugly and short. He is trying to elimante 1-adders from them, though.

All right, now I have to do some push-ups. Before starting this post I finished the 26th day of A6W (exercises for belly).

Any comments are welcome! :)

No, I didn't. And I think I would have troubles to hit it BS now because I haven't tried Atomic Ducking for months.

Edit: I've just finished stitching next Dorshbag which is coming with me to Vienna. Here it is:

So, I have 4 bags at the moment! :)

If you want to reserve one (or more, hehe), PM me. Only the multicolor one is already reserved.

I was yesterday at the Dean from the new college I want to study in. I gave him my application and he told me I would study there. Yey! To hell with stupid Math Studies! :D I'll start the new studies on the 2nd year. But I will have to study some things from the 1st year too because of differences in programs. It will be a lot of work. I hope I win with my lazyness! :D On Saturday I'll have the last exam in the old college. Wish me luck.

I had a break in playing footbag yesterday. But today I shredded a bit. Actually not shredded, just trained. It was a solo session at home. I was fighting with my routine for Vienna. At the end I was trying to hit some new moves but I couldn't. I footed few times Zig Zag. Frustrating! ;)

Hi guys!

It was an awesome day yesterday. And a day before it was also pretty cool.

Two days ago I had a really nice training. It was a session with camcorder. I wanted to make a video because I hadn't posted any for ages. Some nice new things I hit was a drill Phoenix > Beta Blur > Phoenix > Beta Blur and one move - Zig Zag. I have also hit one new trick with Railing set. It was Railing ss Dada Curve. But unfortunatelly I deleted it from the camcorder :roll:. After an hour of shredding came my brother Hubert. His highlight was Ripstein. During our training some little kid was riding a small bicycle and he was so sweet :). I videotaped him a bit. You can see what he was doing with a footbag in my newest video. Well, you can see there some Cod's nasty footbag stuff too ;). Here are the links:

And now about yesterday. I had the last exam on my old studies in the afternoon. I think I wrote it well. But that's not the main point of this day. In the evening I was celebrating with Asia our 3rd anniversary! Wow, such a long period of time with one girl :). We went to some cosy restaurant in the Old Town. At first we both ate a delicate soup from mushrooms. Then I ate spaghetti Carbonara and Asia ate some tasty meat with spinach and potatos. During eating we were drinking some excelent Argentinian wine. It was all so delicious! After that we went for a walk and as a dessert we bought some really big ice creams. Yummy! In the late evening we went to Asia's place and here I'm going to stop writing ;) :twisted:.

Hello guys!

I haven't written here for a week or more, sorry.

At the end of the last week I was with my friends from highschool in one of them's allotment/plot (?). It was a lot of fun there. And I mean A LOT OF, really :). The funniest thing was, I think, swimming in some small river when it wasn't so hot and when it started raining and then hailing. It's a really weird feeling when you're under the water and you feel hailstones hitting your back :D. There was a lot of funny drunken actions too but I think writing about this is stupid ;).

Few days ago I finally received cash for some webpage I had made with Alek some time ago. Actually, if you want to check some of our recent projects, here they are:

:arrow: http://www.megaplast-machines.pl (it has an English version)
:arrow: http://www.xocolata.pl (only Polish)
:arrow: http://www.lbevents.pl (only Polish)

At the moment we are working on two e-shops. Damn, I like making webpages! And I love getting cash for them :D.

So. If we are talking about cash. I bought today train tickets to Vienna for me, Wiktor, Gosia, Gielnik and Kuba. Yey! I'm so happy about this competition. I haven't prepared my Open routine, though :/. Now, I have only two weeks for it. I have to focus on this. But I prepared my Sick 3 and Shred 30. On the last training (which was, BTW, really long - 4 hours) I played it once without drop and I scored 204 points! My previous record was something like 190. Woohoo!

One more thing. Yesterday I was at Asia's place. We had a "romantic movies evening". Actually, I should write "night" because we finished at 3 am :D. We were watching a BBC version of Jane Austen's "Pride And Prejudice". It's 5 hours long - 6 episodes and each last about 50 minutes. It's one of Asia's favourite movies/shows ever. Unluckily, we were so tired after 5 episodes that we didn't finish the whole thing :oops:.

All right, I think that's all for now :).

PS. I bought today also some books. Three of them are from my favourite writer - Harlan Coben. And one of them is from "John Case". I hope they'll be good! Well, I know they'll be good :).

Hi Modified.

I think I should write something about Euros. I came back yesterday. It was a really hot event. I'm talking about the weather (one day we had Austria's biggest temperature in 10 years or something, it was like 45 C, OMG) and about the shred level. I'm not talking about the organization because I didn't like it at all. Well, it wasn't so bad but the places for shred and the competition were just not professional. The whole event looked like a big party and not like the sport competition. Really good point was that we had free cold water anytime we wanted. Nice girls were still going around the place and giving us bottles with it. And Dexter was still telling by microphone that we had to drink a lot of water. Sleeping place was not so far from the event place and that's also a big plus (remember Worlds 06?). The hostel we were living in was absolutely good! It was clean and we had own toilet in the room. And the guy from the reception was from Poland :). Breakfasts was nice. Too bad juices were full of water but who cares, hot chocolate was perfect. Ok, that's all about the organisation. Now something about players. I'm shocked how good Polish players was on this tournament. Five out of eight finalist in Open routines were from our country. Props to Olaf Piwowar, Marcin Bujko, Kamil Wysocki, Wiktor Dębski and Damian Gielnicki. I'm really proud of the first two because you haven't known them before Euros and they didn't failed! Muchas propsas to Wiktor who was 3rd in Open routines just before Honza and Vasek! Shock! 8O Props to our Doubles Freestyle players. Damian Budzik and Damian Piechocki won the Open Doubles. Wiktor and Gosia Nycz was the 2nd. They won with Dexter and Pavel Cerveny who had really nice routine but dropped too much. Maybe it will be btter next time, guys! Wiktor and Gosia won also Mixed Doubles Freestyle. Mega props to them. I hope they will win Worlds this year! The 2nd place in this competition had another Polish pair - Kamil and Karolina Modrzejewska. Shred 30 final sukced. It was played in a really, really bad place. It was dark there, no space for warm up and I think it was played at 1 am or something! That's why Vasek didn't compete. Props to him for that. Anyway, Paul Cronjeager won this competition. The 2nd was Kamil. After him was Honza and the 4th place had Marcin. It was a shame for the organizers that at first at the ceremony they forgot about Kamil and gave silver medal to Honza and the bronze one to Marcin. I don't know how many points they had but I think not su much. I haven't seen Sick 3 finals. They were in the same place Shred 30 were but this time players did a good job. Vasek won with Stepping Whirling Swirl > Montage > Furious Flail or Backside Clownface. Someone should tell me what the combo he hit in real. The 2nd place came to Olaf who hit Nemesis > Food Processor > Spender, I think. The 3rd was Honza with some Beast I can't remember. Circle Contest was the shit! :!: Vasek nad Honza didn't compete because of some injures or something like that but it was still a really high level of shred there! Two guys from Poland were in final circle. It was Marcin and Olaf. Serge Kaldany and Mikko Lepisto were playing with them. Mikko had some really long runs. On of them was over 60 contacts I think! That was incredible. The other guys had shorter combos but with hard links and tricks. Mikko won the whole competition. Olaf was the 2nd. Marcin and Serge was both the 3rd. Before annouincing the results of Circle Competiton BAP members told us that they had chosen 3 new members to their group. Now Poland, France and Russia have representants in BAP finally! They chose Damian "Twister" Gielnicki, Sergey "Kalashnikov" Kozlov and Serge "Cerberus" Kaldany. Mega props to them! Thee other people were mentioned: Olaf, Marcin and Jakob Wagner. Ok, and what about Cod? I failed in every competition I started :(. In Open Freestyle I was 6th in my qualifications group with a not so bad routine with 5 drops. The other guys was just better. I footed my Sick 3. I had 159 points in Shred 30 and it gave me the 16th place. 15 guys were in finals. In the Circle Contest I had "Twister" in my group and only one guy from every pool went to semifinals. I don't know which place I had in the group but I think it could be the 2nd. So, I'm not proud of myself at all. But the party and the people were freaking awesome so I'm happy I was there. I'd like to thank all the players with whom I was fooling around. So, thanks to all the Polish crew, but especially for Olaf ("Chemiaaaa!"), Marcin and his girlfriend Marta and Manuel aka Esperanto. Thanks to Jana Sassakova from the Chech Republic. We had a really nice and long conversation about life in one of the afterpartys. Thanks to Ramil Abulov ("Liż mi jaja!") and Aleksey Zikin. I hope you guys will love your Dorshbags. Thanks to Ales Zelinka with whom I was talking about the logarithms, but also about some other stuff ("Ogol jeża!"). He also showed me what am I doing wrong in Osi. Thanks to the Dannish crew - Asmus and both Mads'. I hope you'll make some good videos from Euros, guys. Don't remember to put some of my shred in them, not only the "golden shower" thing :lol:. Thanks to all the players I was shedding with. I especially liked the circle with Yves Kreil (excellent style), his friend and Mikko. I also really enjoyed to play with Marco Hartig and his friend Bea. I pretty much liked the circle just before the Sick 3 competition. Me, Olaf, Ales, Vasek and some other people were trying to hit our Sick 3 combos. I hit mine in the 3rd try (Dorshatrix > Conniption City > Pixie Merlin), Vasek "wowed" and clapped my hand. It was an awesome feeling. Too bad I didn't hit it in the competition, though. I also pretty much liked the circle with Riku Ahola, Ramil and this 3rd guy whos name I can't remember, sorry dude! Ok, I think that's all. At the end some of my highlights:

:arrow: Stepping Far Reverse Whirl :lol:
:arrow: Frootie ss Mirage :twisted: (I have to name it somehow)
:arrow: Railwalk Zipper
:arrow: Spinning Butterfly Zipper > Swixie ss Pickup > run

I've got another small break in writing here. Sorry.

For three days I have schooled my routine for Polish Champs. The first day was really shitty. The next one was better. I played it 5 times and had this drop count: 2, 1, 4, 2, 4. Today it was the best, I think. I played it 7 times with a drop count of: 1, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, 0! Yes, the dropless routine! It was my second ever dropless. What a nice feeling. And I was pretty schocked beacuse it was my last try and I was so tired. Yeah! The other nice thing is that I tied (thanks Daryl) my old record of unique Fearless run. But what's really cool about it, it was all Toe To Toe! So, I hit 5x5:

:arrow: Rap > Dominatrix > Conniption City > Royal Assassin > Merlin

I'm so happy about it. Hmmm, some other highlights from last days are:

:arrow: Toe set ss Sidewalk
:arrow: Pixie ss Sidewalk
:arrow: Toe set ss Schmoe

So, as you can see, some really weird stuff :).

Hmmm, what can I say more? I've got a funny situation few days ago. I was in the underground speaking with my fiend and suddenly I realized that some girl who was waiting with us for the metro was wearing Rod Lavers! I was schocked. I walked up to her and asked where she had bought her shoes. At first she was a bit scared but then she responded. She told me she had bought them in California, then she smiled and said "They're nice, huh?". I said I had my own pair which I had bought in the USA too. Then I explained her that I had thought she had found them somewhere in Warsaw and that was why I had asked about it. Damn it! :D

Okey, at the end of this post you can see some Dorshbags I stitched recently:

Best regards to everyone who is reading it! :)
