i feel like talking a bit more about about my experience of Anssis program,
probably because thats all i did shredwise the last couple of weeks, and because it changed my game in a big fukken way .
Atomsmasher and BOPs : i didnt really increase my personal
best
significantly here ;am i happy nonetheless ? yes i am, because i can
get close to that pb within, like 3 tries now .
nice example for the process of a formerly higher level becoming the
fundamental basic structure of another, higher level.
6 atoms b2b, 15 infinities, 14 cons ss butt>osis>pdx mir rpt, 7 osis
Plo b2b and dlo>plo rpt : my flip pixie got better, but i'm still sceptical
towards its cleanliness, or better, the reliabillity of its cleanliness.
still, i had on-phases, and hit
11 plos and 11 contacts of dlo>plo rpt
my flip plo benefit the most from this drill - i understood the mechanics
of it in a sudden flash, and now can use flip dlo a lot more freely.
Ripwalks : hmmmm. they turned out, to my suprise, to be the tuffest
mothers to get to since a looong time. i tried to blame it entirely
on my change to lavers, but failed. it was the good ole clipper form and
sucking at flip "far" in a broad sense of the word.
it also struck me as odd, that i had a bit of devolution going on there ;
i hit 4 in the first session, 5 in the second, then only three and the rest
of the program, it felt like two from either side was a crazy feat .
whirl>drifter rpt : maby my favorite, because its a delicate matter of
direct and indirect importance, and its exciting to master ( and still
a long way !). i hit back to back 7 out of 8 sessions ; on four sessions
i hit the full drill twice -in two of those work outs, i hit the drill both sides .
once i managed
6 contacts .
despite all appreciation, i feel like a dumbass, that i've disovered the
marathon method that late . But it also showed me how much the
structure and method of learning actually matters - in contrast to
all kinds of "genetic" and mythical explanations for impressive skill
levels that go around the forum

.
i feel optimistic about my future learnig process, i know what
i want, and, more importantly, i know what i need to fix and practice
to get there .
re-reading the bold "highlights", i dont get too carried away, bearing
in mind i play footbag since three + years .
the positive and most interesting reason for my asymmetrical progress
is my love for variety .
i work on a lot of stuff at the same time - which is fair in its own light, but
it doesnt clearly help to do long lines .
I learned, that a toe players game only benefits from having all basic clipper
(-downtime) elements -like so, i can finally breathe, and thusly
hit longer runs with more opportunities to hit creative and hard toe 2 toe links.
now i feel that i have the glue to connect all the various bits and
come out with some good shit soon .
thanks Anssi
