Kuba's footblog

Kuba · Post by **Kuba** » 04 Aug 2007 14:05

Hi modified!

I decided to make this footblog baceuse I want to school my English and I think this is a better way to show you my footbag progress.
I just introduced myself on other topic, but these information should be in my footblog, I think. So, my name's Kuba Grabarczyk, like I wrote I've been interested in footbag for 4 years but I've been playing for only 2.5, because I was injured. Now, I'm fighting with my knee, and from day to day it's getting better. I'm 17 and normally I play with Gielnik. My best succeses are 3rd place on wilanÃ³w cup 2005 open freestyle and 43rd place on european championships also open freestyle

On last 2 years I've been judgeing many competitions in Poland, and I'm proud of this. I split my footbag adventure on two parts: before contusion, and after contusion. My best trick before contusion was a montage rake, after I didn't hit any seven adds trick. Recently I slowly started to play with my left leg, and I'm going to back on Polish and maybe European stage

Ok, now something about current shreds. A few days ago, Norek came to Nowe Miasto, where I live. Shreds with Norek and Gielnik were terrible! They've been repeating sevens on pyramid, and during these days I got only one point! (lovely blr torque!

) Today I hit:

locomotion>foodprocesor, It's my first beastly link

spinning ducking butter>blr whirl>pdx torque>far motion>footed PS whirl

stepping reaper, yeah - I very like DSOs

Hm, surely, It's all. I hope I'll be writing someting if I'll have a time, of course

Bye!

Today was quite a nice session. I was so tired, but apart from it we played for 3 hours!Norek and Gielnik were playing very hard, as always. I was training my left leg and I was trying some new moves, because I want to have better variety. I hit two new drills, blr whirl>sidewalk and torque>pdx whirl. Furthermore, I hit locomotion> PS whirl midrun, I'm happy that my motions are getting better.

Today I spent nearly all day in Warsaw, where I was shopping with my familly. I came home quite late and I was tired, but I decided to start shred behind my house, on terrace. There was a very little place for shred but I was hard

I wanted to have short shred for fun but I hit bunch of new things, though it. I again did 4 x fearless, and again I dropped on fifth! :/ It was:
phoenix>blr whirl>blr whirl>far motion>drop on pdx blender

far motion>far DSO, very nice link

3 x blr whirl
ripwalk>stepping whirl (rpt)
whirr ! I'm very proud of this, It's my next new component which I hit during last days

P.S I'm sorry for my mistakes, I didn't write a lot, I hope

A few days ago, we got a message from a local newspaper's redactor because he earlier had wrote an article about us and he said that he wanted to organize a footbag show in half-time of football match. We agreed of course, and yeastarday we went to TÄ™cza 34 PÅ‚oÅ„sk's stadium, there had to be this show. I was shocked, there were about 600 spectators!I was little afraid of this, I hate play under pression. Fortunately, we were playing very good and during nearly 5 minuts show, we together had only 4-5 drops

People were clapping and weren't whistling, I'm happy about this

After that we started shred near stadium. I didn't hit anything special, excerpt fog, blr whirl>pdx dlo and blr whirl>blr whirl>bluriest

Apart from today's weather I decided to start alone shred in my old garage, I felt like really american shreder

Alone shreds are very tiring for me, I was playing for only one hour. It was raining and sometimes was thunderstorming, in my garage was a very nice climat. I should more often play in this place, I think. I hit two nice for me links:
blr whirl>grave digger
blr whirl>tombstone>PS whirl

Nice to read you are doing good shows! Props on this.

You should learn some Toe moves, Kuba

O! It'a so nice to see You on Modified, Kuba.
I have been looking for Your results in footbag since end of Your contusion and I see big progress. I think You will be much better than before contusion very soon. Props for last moves and good luck.

Kuba · Post by **Kuba** » 16 Aug 2007 00:25

Nice to read your posts, I know somebody reads it, It's motivating me to write more

Cod, I can't try any t2t moves because always when I want to do it, my left leg aches. Toe daley's move causes it but every time I train my strong's pixe

On yesterday's shred was an quite nice ambiance. We played near lagoon where was a beautiful weather. The sun was shining, lot of people were sitting on benches, swimming on canoes and we were shredding, of course

Though it, I didn't play good, I don't know why. I remember only one nice run with tomahawk BS and mobius BS. It was my first strongside tomahawk after about 2 years but unfortunately, I then felt an little ache

Apart from it I don't sadden because I've just found a new music for me and now I'm evolving my routine for Polish Champs. I want to be in open freestyle finals

From Tuesday's session with Dorota:
4 x far motion
far motion>barfly>ddd midrun.

P.S Dorota hit flying inside kick BS

Nice session was in the Saturady's evening. I was practicing my routine for Polish Champs, It will be a superb stuff, I think

Exactly, I don't remember how many drops I had but mostly it was something about four. I don't pleased with this because it wouldn't be enough for Polish Champs's final. Generally, I was playing weakly but after little break I hit 5x5 ! It was the best moment of that day

It was:

ripwarior>blurry whirl>pdx torque>far motion>PS whirl

Except it, I did gyro ddd, very nice trick.

Today were two shreds, I also was practicing routine. My drop count today was again about four. I must play it often, Polish Championships is comming

Milo · Post by **Milo** » 20 Aug 2007 14:51

Props Kuba!

Now try 10x5

:D:D

Kuba · Post by **Kuba** » 22 Aug 2007 02:50

Three days to start Polish Champs. I train my routine every day and day by day it's getting better. Yeasterday my drop count was: 2, 3, 4. In first routine I had one "stupid" drop, it would be 1

Unfortualenty, I had a sadly adventure, yeasterday. Normally, I was playing footbag, I dropped and I kicked my bag when it was falling. Everything was good but suddenly I saw a hole in my bag!One panel has perforated. I don't know how it has happened

Now, I'm going to shred with Damian. We heve to play with one bag. We will be training routines, will be good, I think

I saw you in my dream today Kuba

You and me and a village of people were waiting for your dad as he crossed the river on a canoe

.

You said that your family members were canouist for generations

Kuba · Post by **Kuba** » 28 Aug 2007 06:25

Haha, what a strange dream Aleksei! I'm famous in footbag world, I know it

Yeasterday I came back from Polish Championships. It was a great time!I met many of my footbag friends, I was playing with them, I love it. Footbag events always give me motivation to shred. Unfortunately trip to Wadowice lasted nearly 13 hours!However it was worth the candle, I think

I'm happy about my results, I was 3rd in my pool after Norek and Kierpca. Only two players were promoted to final so I fell. Finally I was 9th ex aequo with other players which were 3rd in theirs pools. In Sick3 was in the final, in qualifications I did ripwarior>blr whirl>pdx torque and blr whirl>tombstone>PS whirl

Unfortunately, I didn't repeat it in the final but though it I'm proud of myself - it was my first final on such a big competition

I was judging all finals and I think it was a good experience.
Now I'm going to rest and after that I'm going to back to hard shred, Wialnow Cup is coming

Today is a very sad day - 1st of september

On monday I'll have to go to school. I won't have a free time to write on modified, I think. I hope I will shred regular, though.
But now we have holidays and today was quite a nice session with Damian

Despite the cold weather I decided to start shred. It was raining and we had to play on Zielony Rynek's stage. It was my first shred after a few days I was relaxed and I had an inclination to shred. I resolved I should work on my style. I was training new links, I hit bunch of its:
spinning osis>mobius BS
mobius>gyro mirage BS
mobius>driffter BS
pdx blender>ripwalk midrun
driffter>matador
spender and foodprocesor in one run
spinning duckinng butterfly bsos
and...
matador>blr whirl>grave digger

I think that it's my best sick3 what I've ever done.

Rozo · Post by **Rozo** » 02 Sep 2007 03:14

Really nice Kuba! If you want to work on your style, why don't you practise more toe moves? You will get better variety then. Go go go!

Kuba · Post by **Kuba** » 02 Sep 2007 12:03

I can't do any toe moves because my left leg is injured. It hurt always when I want to do flipside toe moves or some hard dexes with this leg

Today was a nice session with Damian. We played nearly 3 hours! The weather was really good, in the Nowe Miasto's park was very pleasingly. I was training my spins and duckings, and I think they're getting better. For example, I did:
spining clipper>spinning butter>ducking clipper>spinning clipper>spinning butter>ducking clipper>spining osis>spinning osis>pdx blender>osis>run
and some new drills:
ducking osis>ducking clipper (rpt)
stepping op osis>ducking clipper (rpt)
pdx torque>ducking clipper>ripwalk (rpt)
We also were training doubles freestyle, it was very fun. We're going to shock everyone on WilanÃ³w Cup

The scholl year just started. Like I wrote, I haven't got free time for writting but I try to shred regularly. Yeasterday I had a session with Damian. I was working with torques. I hit a few new things with it:
ducking pdx torque
pdx torque x 3
pdx torque>pdx blender>pdx torque>run

Today was a very hard day, however I decided to start a shred in my garage. I like it, it's very climatic

Finaly, my dream came true, I hit
nuclear ss torque

Kuba · Post by **Kuba** » 08 Sep 2007 01:31

Yeah, finally weekend!

This week was very tired I wasn't wont to work hard. Unfortunately, day by day it will be getting harder. Despite it, in this year I'm going to play frequently, alternately with a scholarship

Yesterday I had a session next to my house. It was nice, because my neighbour was standing at the window and clapping after good combo or when I ended my routine. He was so far and now I still don't know who was it

I was practicing my nuclears, driffters and torques. I also was trying some new moves and I hit a great one:
torquescrew

I'm proud of this I've learned it from scratch
