I played on friday evening.Played solo, did some filming.

Almost done with the video.

Taking a day off today, probably tommorow too.Been designing a webpage for our team, which is no longer Killah Bees.We changed it to Gravity Control.

I need to work on my barflys damn it, and in double dexes more.I slur blurriests and whirrs.Im really happy about the pixie/step shuffle progress though, and for steping whirls.

Its almost 4 am here.Last night i went to sleep at 4 am or something and i feelt this feeling i didnt feel for a long time.When i layed down on the bed i actually felt sleepy and wanted to sleep.Ussually it takes me up to 3 hours to fall asleep because i just dont want to sleep and just think :).

Been thinking about footbag.Like there a phases/levels which you achieve, when stuff clicks or just becomes easier, you start understanding how its done.Its not that easy when you learn by yourself mostly, theres noone who can teach you.But its rewarding.I looked back and remembered my first monts , im still as motivated as then even more i think, because im alot closer to my goal and i feel like im getting on a new level when harder stuff clicks, now just to drill it off.

I love drilling recently, like we play for 2 hours with Ramil and then i like start trying a drill and say to myself i wont leave untill i hit it, feels great.

If Ansi will read this im sorry i didnt like continue your training programm.I had back problems and shins etc.But even 1 session helped me.Ill try to do some of the stuff from it every session.

Cant wait to get my new G'6 :).I shred in old ones atm, they dont have toe walls which kinda bothers me.


Oh yeah im getting addicted to gitarre.

Tommorow me and my girl will be doing a workshop, making sweets :D, we will be teaching kids, should be fun.

I need to drill spins, and toe shuffle i do drill the shuffle less spinning drills i geuss.Im all abou clipper normally, soon ill mix it up.

I thinked i thed a few(or one) trick in the video, well its not a big deal.

Oh yeah i made up a cool drill
Pixie op osis>symp whirl>osis>pdx mirage>rpt .Maybe ill try to replace pdx mirage with blur.

I cant hit whirling set on my other side, even though its strong whirl there, well i do get the set but its like straight i cant hit a legover out of it.But im still pumped to drill the hell out of it. So one day i can hit this drill

ripwalk>blazing lo>plo>tripwalk>rpt.

My legs just didnt want to do anything this afternoon, and i has shins on my left leg.

But i've hit 2 new drills:

dyno>rev swirl>rpt

pixie op clip>pincher>ss toe>lo>rpt

Then we did this workshop thing with my girl.It was quite fun, the kids are cool.Well the little girls are, boys are stupid and clumsy :lol: .

I didnt want to shred in the evening cuz i thought it would be useless, but Fedja talked me into it and i was quite glad later that he did.

barfly>ddd>rpt i need to drill this more,flip double over downs are sucky.

dddx2 on flipside

b whirl>b whirl>blurriest>nice string. First try that was awesome i droped on ripwalk>ripwalk>blurriest attempt(flip bluriest).

close to step ss clip>sidewalk>blur>smear>dimwalk>rpt( i did 8 contacts, droped on smear)

paradon>step ss whirl>blur BS

There was a redicilous situation on our session.We played in the city sporthall.All kinds of people go there.There are some dumbasses that just throm balls in a wall near to our shred place =)).

Lots of hot girls sometimes too.Well today we saw one like really tight girl on our way to the shred spot.Later she comes near our place starts doing her stuff, then like grabs a mat and comes over us(2 meeter distance) and starts like stretching , doing all kinds of stuff. Like it was so demonstrative, her stuff was like 10-15 meeters away and she decided to stretch there.Well it was fun.

Had a nice late dinner just now.My back is tired and so are my legs.

edit:forgot a nice drilled i almost landed
legbeater>b whirl>blur>rpt (missed the blur on last mirage).

Push yourself ! :D

And kick alot for a warm up.I do alot of toe kicks lately, i didnt school those before so they were lame.

I wonder if they want our footbag for a long period.Anyways its a nice thing for the sport itself.

So i decided to bring myself together and continue my b-bboy trainings.

Its tough, but fun. Ill try do it like 2 a week.

Only a little bit footbag today.

the best part was telling tips to the new guy about his flip atw and he hits it 3rd try, frist flip atw :).That was nice

Drilled DATW in, strongside is pretty good now.

Then i trained mah b-boy skills.

I didnt want to play, so i could me in good form on the weekend.

I had this idea.Ill make a video in spring, or in the beginning of the summer, which will include all my skils.(shred,break,beats,gitarre,maybe juggling).Going to order juggling balls, Stefan siegert inspired me to do that shzzle when you juggle and do toe to toe combos.Well Perer Irish or J.M could inspire me too but like they are too good.

Need to find a place where to train backflips.I wanted to keep this in secret , but looks like Tom Mosher is into the same idea, so like no point in hiding this. Im working on Kamikadze set too(as i call it :) )
