Ramil apologized yesterday.Anyways i dont feel like talking/shredding with him.

Yesterday we did a show on one of the biggest TV channels b-day! It was a huge party.

We did semi-good.There were 4 of us, me ramil fedja and ilja.

Fedja and ilja fucked up their doubles. While our with ramil was good.

I did very good in my solo strings.

So im satisfied how i performed, dunno about the others.

After the show we got to hang out.Eat and drink wine for free and some smirnof ice drinks.


Today i played for 2 hours.Played by myself then ramil came, i didnt talk to him at all exept hi,bye,no i dont want to circle. I drilled alone all the 2 hours.
Got to train alot of the concepts i can do.

Got fear>fairy lo>rpt on camera. I tryed to film a bit,but it got boring. =))

Stretched really nicely , my legs feel really good.

Going to spend the evening with my gf.

EDIT:

Dimwalk>ripwalk>step op lo>rpt(new drill)
plo>smear>rpt (7 contacts) so close to double rpt
plo>smear>rpt>magelan>plo>rpt(drop on last plo)
fear>fairy lo>rpt 5 contacts

thats all i remember but there's more.

This week is going to be a bit tough beacause i have some test in Uni but i dont study at home at all.Im lazzy, and dont really care much about Uni.


Ill study at night before the tests, so i wont fail too bad.


I loved WTS and the other 2 parts.They inspired me.


I received 10 Mr. Sandbag yesterday.Resold one to a beginner from other city.

Shred is improving i geuss.Todays second session ended nicely.

I've hit far symple swirl b2b quite easily.Hit whirling swirl bs barefoot.

Had nice looks on pdx whirling swirl.

Retied my quantums like a normal shoe, or maybe i should leave the wings? I dont know... any advice on that?

I was fucking close to spinning clip>gyro clip>rpt.Finally i started to understand gyro clips.

A new move - flipside reaper.

Im almost done writing the footbag project, it will get aproved in december and ill start doing lots of good shit in january :).

Ok the physics test today went quite nicely.

It was really nice of my gf to bring me some sandwiches to Uni so i could eat them before footbag session. :) They were really tasty!


Shred:

First of all im proud to say that i've hit fussion BSOS :D

I probably need to take a day or 2 off.Im sore every morning, but i want to shred and progress :D.

My foundation is getting better.Im drilling it when i shred solo (happens 3-4 times a week).

Hit ps whirl b2b quite a few times today.I think i understood this move.

sidewalk>ripwalk>rpt>5 ripwalks i need to drill steps more! :)

Edit: Blazing legover bsosed ;)

I certanly need a few days off.

I was drilling basics mostly.

Though i've hit

ps whirl>osis>infinity>rpt first try

whirling swirl BS i was happy for my flipside :)

Toe blender BS, bsosed blender a quite alot of times.

footed symp whirling swirl and symple rev swirl.

Had some fun with rev walkover after stuff like toe or pdx whirl.

Torque on dead contact both sides.

Filmed toe barrages ill check now if they look clean.Getting some progress with In double dexes.

Fuck day offs :).

We filmed today for TV and right from the start i played good :).Tho my legs do hurt.

Vasek didnt rest,did he? I remember i used to think of him playing 5 hours a day or something like that and go shred even if im sore and shit.

Maybe one would think why do i struggle? I could take a day off and relax and then shred or like shred for fun. I want to get better , i want to goo for endless strings when you lose yourself in the string.

I wish i could shred 2 times a day.

Had a nice session with Ilja today.

My drifters feel better, though flip needs some work but it is on its way.Barflys,pixies feel better too.

Im not playing guiltless anyway yet, i just dont care about it.

i remember doing

barfly>whirl>rpt>barfly b2b>btfly>pdx whirl b2b>ps whirl(Drop?)

barfly>drifter>pdx torque first try on strongside.

I cant link flip barfly and flip drifter though, ill work on that.

Ilja looked at my toe barrages said they were clean.Good.both sides ;)

Today we did a charity event in a centre for homeless kids.

I was playing footbag there, 2 guys were beatboxing, one was rapping.Aslo there were some concurses and stuff, gifts.They liked it.

They were shy to try footbag though.
My routine wasnt good, i did do 1 minute dropless but then i sucked.. but still pulled of some nice tricks.

Maybe its lack of skill atm, or its just because i slept 4-5 hours that night didnt have enough power.It was hard to play.


Anyway i gotta train harder.

Liked the video, good job Aleksei.

Your right foot pixie is pretty the (maybe thin) though, maybe try and make it more of a circular dex? Like, push it in first before you go out. I dunno, it's hard to give advice on pixie because the set just gets engrained into your head, they're hard to change.

Had a session with Artur today, he didnt play for a long time and i didnt see him since august.

My steps bother me, the same side stuff like sidewalk and legover.They fucking suck :?

I can do ripwalks,blurs,blurry whirls normally but ss just doesnt click.I geuss i should just drill it more.Weird that on the right side my leg doesnt want to plant after stepping(moves like sidewalk, step ss clip) i didnt have this problem before.

Didnt feel enough energy on this session, well we didnt have music which sucks.I always play to music.

Sent out my project today.I will know if i get sponsored on the 15th of December.

Fuck quantums i feel better in G-units.Going to play in them and order a new pair soon.

So i figured out my problem with step.Hit ripwalk>sidewalk>blur bsos today.

Ripwalk>step ss clip>sidewalk BS

Other highlights i remember:

Run with 3-4 torques both sides.

paradon>dyno>pdx whirl>pdx mirage>rpt 10 contacts (had problems with dyno>pdx whirl on flip)

btfly>barrage>paradon>pdx mirage>rpt damn was this hard :D i fucking hate barrages :D hahaha but nevertheless i hit it and i was like yesss finally.I ended my session on that.

I wanted to film but forgot my digital camera at home.

Stretched really nicely, getting back to working out a little bit at home after sessions.Just did that, going to shower now ;).


Today was a good session, i feelt like im back on the track again.

Im sick. :? It sucks. I cant shred.

I played on my balcony yesterday, it was -2 outisde, well the balcony is lodged but still that might be the reason of my illness.Or im just so tired.

I didnt take a break from footbag for like 3-4 weeks :D.


I need new G'6 because mine dont have toe walls.Its harded to do fairy,pixie set in G units than in quantums.Maybe its just me.

Recent highlights:

PS whirl on dead contact BS

Mullter>reverse walkover (close on flip).

Otherwise im just drilling basic's, steps(they seem to get better), symp whirls,drifters,dlo,eggbeater, etc.

I feel like i should be playing better for the time im practicing already.Maybe its just the illness that makes me think this way, anyway i gotta train more but now i cant.Maybe its better for me, ill rest for a few days.
