BAM!!!!
WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!
After much discussion with the Master of Disaster James McCullough, (less then one minute), we've decided to resurrect the Montreal blog and try and bring some life back to the scene.
With Ianek Regimbald, James McCullough, Sebastien Duschesne and Mathieu Gauthier, we got the third rock on lock, we can't stop. All of us are keen in to playing a lot more and pushing harder then we have before.
FIRST SESSION TOGETHER YESTERDAY!
It went well, though Ianek is coming off of an injury and had new lavers, so couldn't go through his usual repertoire of tricks. He was practicing some very interesting ducking concepts from toe, such as zulu whirl/swirl,and some spinning variants as well... definitely moves that I would like to steal from him one day.
James was playing a bit off but I saw him hit some links which I know are tough for him, which was good. Style Supreme. He is also making a comeback, so I'm expecting him to skyrocket back to his usual greatness and more in the next coming weeks.
I played strongly for someone who hadn't played in about 3 weeks. It was shaky at first, but still managed to do some fun links/tricks, and worked a bit more on my flip barfly, which is my most difficult component. For the record I can hit it now about 1/2 times, and it will be getting better.
Some stuff I hit included: Reverse swirling pickup > Phasing swirl, Pdx. Flux a bunch of times (didn't drop it once), footed GYBAS > Janiwalk (rolled off the catching clipper, but was clean).
Before that, my PS whirling swirls have been really on, and I expect to re-hit Swirlwind soon enough. In fact, last month I stepped out of PS whirling swirl but didn't have enough energy to hit anything spectacular.
I've been very happy with my style, especially after viewing Chan's latest video of me. Even though I hadn't played in a long time before that tournament and I sucked ass, I very much like the way it looks when I play.
Liking your own style, to me, is a big leap in learning how to improve with footbag. Ever since I hated my style and concentrated on it I've only been minutely improving, and I would like to think that now that I don't worry whether what I hit looks good or not, I can focus more on my physcial game instead of the mental one.
My future goals are to increase my consistancy across the board, to be able to easily hit 15+ contacts in a run. I COULD do this now, but I refuse to sacrifice quality for quantity. I would like to stop abusing merkon as a bail, and to include more interesting ducks/dives into my game.
In
OTHER BIG NEWS, I have an interview friday for a ....
FOOTBAG JOB
HUGE!!!! It pays extremely well, and is full-time, but because I'm an ass and I don't want the company flooded with other footbaggers, I refuse to say which company it is and what they are looking for. But I may be one of the first professional footbaggers (literally) in history! Very exciting.
That's it for NOW, stay tuned....
same BAP place,
same BAP time....
Tommorow: Solo-session at NDA, working on consistancy and performance-related moves for my audition friday.
ps: I also told someone that I followed their blog closer then a pedophile follows an ice-cream truck, and I find it funny so I'm re-quoting it here.
I follow your blog closer then a pedophile follows an ice-cream truck
The quote is over. Now go away.
I know you're not really quitting, and I'm just giving you shit. What moves have you invented nick laroche? I don't know them offhand. And just s you know, you shouldnt compare yourself to Jorden. He's not the bestest ever ever ever, he just works extraordinarily hard and is very dedicated. So dont feel discouraged when somebody passes you up. I know its hard, because I feel the same way, but be happy for them, and then pick something to be better a than they are
