I've changed again my shoes from qm's to lavers. Now I see how small is the toe area in them, but I like it. I felt in lavers more solid, maybe because they're tighter than my quantums. Qm's became a lot bigger and looser after 2 months using...

It seems that finally we have a shred place for winter season. It's the brand new skatepark, where is enough space for us to shred. The only drawbacks for this place is noise and clouds of dust on the floor which are terrible. When I was going back home, I was feeling dust everywhere at my body and inside me. I hate this.

Nevertheless it was good session and I hit:
pdx whirl x4>spin pdx whirl>pdx whirl>spin pdx whirl>pdx whirlx3
pdx whirl>symp swirl>rpt
butterfly swirl b2b
dlo>eggbeater>toe drifter>rpt
atomsmasher>atomsmasher>toe blur>toe blur

I'm back from Wilanow Cup. It was a great tournament, I was having fun all the time during this trip. I was 4th in shred30 with 163,9 points. I was also third in semifinals of circle contest. I played pretty good in that circle and I was self-satisfied. Next event will be probably Zocha Jam which takes place in my city : ). I'll try to find more time and prepare better to my routine.

Today I was playing for one hour in drying room in my block. It's small room so I can't do long strings there. But it's just right for some drills or single tricks, so I hit:
far lo>ss symple swirl>rpt
pixie ss symple swirl BS

I practiced pixie set which is worse since I switched from qm's to rods. These walls irritate me. I trained also symp whirls and swirls.

Thanks for replies guys! I'm always happy when somebody writes in my blog :)

Two short sessions since last post. One - yesterday with Agata and the other one, even shorter - today with the crew after a demo. So I play often, every day, but have a short sessions - not longer than 1 hour.

Some new stuff:
atomsmasher>symp mirage>rpt
fairy legover>symp mirage>rpt
pixie ss mirage>tap>rpt
spikehammer flip

PS
I forgot to write about it earlier:
When we were comming back from Wilanow Cup, I bet with Ners that I will be still playing footbag in three years' time. He told me that I won't, but for me it's simple that I will. So we will know it in 1st october 2010... :P

Recently I had no time for footbag. When my trainings became irregular, shin splints came back. I've lost the good flow, I'm tired and need more sleep. I hate this state, because everything I do, also not connected with footbag, I do carelessly. I need a break. But I know that state like this will came back after a few weeks of school and it sucks.

But the very positive thing is that on Sunday I'm going to a concert of one of my favourite Polish artists - Fisz. And yeah it will be sooo great to be there with my friends enjoying the music and the atmosphere.

I played well today, hit some new links and made a few nice toe shuffle runs. Generally it was good session, although I feel a little bit overused ; )

peace

Crisis...

Today we should have done the demos in a brand new shopping centre called Magnolia. But we haven't even been there, because they called us earlier and told that there are to much people and not enough space to do the demos.... lol.

So we made a shred session in skatepark, there were 7 shredders! The only good thing I did was blurry torque on flipside. Oh and whirl>far swirl>rpt a few times during a pyramid with Olaf. Nothing special, I was pretty frustrated and don't know where is my motivation. Same in life. Since monday (day after that f*ing great concert) I've been so tired, tons of schoolwork, no time for footbag and cold weather. The last thing I want to do now is to learn that stupid things which I won't need in the future. I'd like to just begin studies to study mostly important things for me, and to go away from my class which I don't really like.

There is a possibility, that those demos will be tomorrow. I hope so, because we would get some cash for this ; )

Searching an inspiration...
Bless!

PS I'm waiting too, Macieju!

I haven't been here for almost two weeks. Now I'm 17 and waiting to come of age. Three days before my birthday my dog died. He had been with us exactly 7 years and was the part of our family. Now I can see how much positive energy he was giving us just being.

I haven't enough time for footbag, I'm able play 2 or 3 times a week. Anyway it's better than nothing. I've started playing doubles with Agata and it's fun!

Yesterday was pretty nice shred.
I hit:
blubberman
fog>phoenix>fog>dimmest

and on previous shred I hit:
fog>smog>dimmest
eggbeater>ss eggbeater>rpt


I've bought a ticket for the concert of Gentleman who comes to Wroclaw with the far east band! Yeah 8) It can't wait for 23th nov. It's gonna be jammin!
