Kiper's fiutblog (little vernissage on last page ;P )

The most important things and events from last time:
- my fairy got worse, I have was having the worst shreds ever
- next I repaired it, I've been playing barefoot, because game with boots (especially my new rod lavers) was injuring it again
- I've got an contusion of left foot again, so I was resting for an week.
- after this repose I had few very nice shreds, I was satisfied; Among other things I hit:

toe barage BS

witchdoctor strong, almost BS

fairy ss symp mirage>atomic LO>fairy ss symp mirage and the same combo but with sequence atomic>fairy>atomic; in one sentence - almost rpt.
-Next I went together with Woras on Zocha Jam 2007 to Wroclaw (7 XII 2007); my game level was doleful, becuse I was playing with boots first time since three weeks. I couldn't do the most basic runs, I have became very angry with it and I have decided to change it.
- two days ago I went back to home; yesterday I had 3- hours shred at home. I was training only basics like mirages, leg overs, illusions, pick ups, generally shuffle. I was recking on accuracy and exactness. I was very tired after this shred, but today I feel that i can play again. Maybe I will do it

On Christmas I wish got boots named Nike (something, I don't remember) SI. My mate has this model of Nikeshoes and I saw that they are designed like lavers, but they are lighter and thinner. They will be great in t2t game. I must have them!

ah, I forgot, on ZJ I hit:

toe massacre

merlin
I'm not very proud of these tricks, becouse I did them only on one side, but I always wanted to do them so they give me some joy

flog>eggplant midrun - first time I did other set than fairy after flog

almost: toe barage>ss DLO>rpt

Yesterday, as I said I had an 3- hours shred at home. Second time I was training only basics. It's just second shred like that and I see results. I'm going to play about 5 similiar, next shreds.
There weren't any new moves, but I cleaned my illusions and I learned playing only on toes; heel doesn't have contact with floor - it's good technique for upgreat the amortisation.

Good luck with your plan of drilling fundamentals!
Great attitude.

Thank You RoÅ¼o

Your words motivate

Bless for You too

On last session (two days ago - Sunday) I was playing with Woras, but I had little leavens after shred from day before. That and foregoing shred I use to training my.... shuffle basics! Wow, so various

Maybe it looks boring but I get some satisfaction from learining everything from fundaments. For example at saturday ("night"

) shred I found the deffect in my flip Fairy! At last! I was so happy when I did 10-contact Fairy2Fairy run, first time since.... 2 months (?!).
From fundamental highlits I hit:

eggbeater>lo>rpt.>dlo>lo>rpt.>eggebeater>lo>rpt.>dlo>lo>rpt.>eggbeater>lo>drop

FLO>mirage>rpt.>ss mirage> Fairy ss LO>rpt.>FLO>ss lo>rpt.>lo>fairy ss lo>rpt.>FLO>illusion>rpt.>ss illusion>Fairy ss LO>rpt.>FLO>drop

It's good example of stuff which I do on whole shreds. In next time I'm going to add symposium mirages, flails and some duckings. As last part of my plan I'm going to train atomics, then I'll get back all stuff which I could before, but in new, better version.

ouh... Christmas... my stomach is full of rubbish, my condition touched the depth. I haven't had real shred since ...week (?). It's too much time. I have tendency to getting overweight so in the result of it few days of eating, watching TV and shredless make me fat.... it's not good I must come back to normal life...
... but finish with these grumbles ;P

Christams has also good features xD My mum came to Poland on holidays and she bought me my dreamed footbag shoes! yes! The model's name is Nike Capri SI. They are made of chamois-lether, have nice toe box (even without modifing) and they looks very resistant. I don't have to cut or resect something because all is able to play. Today I played first time with them and I' m very pleased. They are little havier than lavers, because of sole made of real cautchouc, but I hope it will lengthen their vitality.

On tomorrow I'm planning big shred with my new boots and new motivation. yeah! let's go!

The Christmas finshed, at last

Today is last day of a year, however I'm not going to go on any party. My plan is big night shred at home and going to bed then. I thought that it's normal day as other. I don't drink alcohol (I finished with it about three months ago and I'm proud of myself when my friends drink and I can refuse

) so I don't like parties where everyone is "on a storm". I can have fun without drinking.
Yesterday I had first real shred in my new shoes (but it was only 45 minutes, at 16 p.m. gym was closed). However shred was pretty good. my flip fairy is getting better. Especially I was happy when I hit ss DLO>Fear>rpt. in first attempt - I did this drill first time since holidays ;P

My new year resolve - shred more, take care about my health (especially about fatness - I have been using diet for few days

), learn and draw more. Use every minute to becoming better!

Happy new year everyone!

"The New year note"

My third calendar year with footbag has started

Yestrday, as I said I had very nice shred @ home. I was playing only for an hour, maybe little more, but I was so satisfied of it. I have been thinking about this shred for about two weeks and I've been seeing only positive version of it. It was session for my joy, it couldn't be bad. I wasn't looking on my game deffects, but I was only thinking about fun. Effects were much better than on normal shreds - my runs were pretty long and more difficult tricks like ducking DLO, Flogs, Glaucomas weren't big problem. I must use this style of pondering in all my shreds, then I will get joy from shreds, as once. Additonal effects of it will be better results on shreds. Maybe it will help me in coming back to good shred mode

On winter holidays Koxy Footbag Team Cieszyn is going to make a new video, on last holidays we made, if we'll make this year it will be good progress show

Maybe today I'll be training too. I have big motivation.

That's cool that you're hyped for footbag Kiper! Shred hard and try some new things, that you never schooled before (Rakes? Eclipses? Quantum sets?

). I hope to see you and the rest of the Kox crew on the next tournament! How are the other players? Cukier for example?

Pozdrawiam
Szymon KaÅ‚wak (Ners)

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 02 Jan 2008 11:38

Thanks for visit Ners

Connecting to new things in my game - I must school all my basics first, all what I can do now I have to do 10/10 everytime. When I'll attain this level I'll go forward. I think next will be quantums... Maybe some symposium double dexes (symp. eggs, Novas) I have good teacher of these components

If You think about next ZJ, while you saying "next tournament", I'll be surely, if You think about other competitions... hmm ;P
What about Koxy footbag team, in the general? Now we have only three real players - it's me, Woras and Cukier. I play the most frequently, Cukier and Woras have problems with time, but they go on shreds about 2-3 times in a week. heh

Today I had 1,5 -h shred in the gym, so I was playing with shoes (at home I don't play in shoes, it's too loudy). Woras was with me. He hasn't very good form, but I didn't show high level too. Session was little "lazy"

Playing with boots is still little problem for me, my style is much havier and sometimes Fairy hooks on the toebox partitions, but it's normal. I will win with it very soon.
There weren't any new highlights. Still drilling foundamentals.

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 04 Jan 2008 11:08

Today is first shredless day since new year has started. In the resume it were 7 (+2 days from forward year) days with shreds

Nice ;P I feel good and bad effects of it - good - I'm in good shred mode, bad- my feet hurt ;P The second is reason, why I am not playing today.
Yesterday I had really hard shred in my room. I was training generally toe tiltless which I conected in drills

(1) 5x ss LO>5x LO>rpt.
(2) 5x ss mirage>5x mirage>rpt.
(3) 5x ss pick up>5x pick up>rpt.
(4) 5x ss illusion>5 x illusion>rpt.

(by Kevin R. - I read about these drills in somebody's blog as Kevin's advice)

(1) I do when I want, with (2) I had little problems, especially with flipside toe set, but yesterday I repaired it - I hope I won't forget this repair to next shred; (3) I do in 80% of events, I must be very precise with it; (4) I haven't done it yet

- when I do illusions I finish them on "inflexible" leg, and delay is very shall, I have to improve the amortisation BS, yesterday I started doing it and it has been working.
My record is (3)>(1)>(2)>drop on ss illusion. It's so tiring, but it's good way, how to improve my footbag condition, because it's not nice ;P
Besides foregoing stuff I was training DLOs too. Till now I have been doing drills like DLO>ss DLO>rpt. but I haven't been looking on techinque at real. I've been doing it "on speed". Now I take care about precise toe sets and stability - flip DLO always 'stretchs' me on left.
Whole shred I ended with drill Illusion>ss DLO>rpt. (I haven't force on antyhing better, so I had to persuaded myself taht it was really good ;P It's one of selfmotivate tricks ;p )
It's all on today. In last time I write here very often hm... however it's still big problem to translate my thoughts on English...ehh ;D

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 20 Jan 2008 05:20

So much time ago I wrote here last time. More than 2 weeks ;O I've been shredding much... too much. Few days ago my hip haven't standed these intensive shreds. The majority of fault pertains to strings like atomic something>atomic something on my strongside and "unflexible" DLOs on flip. Now I can't do all mirages, fairies and whole tricks which need high leg uplift. I've been resting since Wednesday (my last shred) but zajawa is too strong. My hip haven't stopped hurting but tomorrow I'm going to have an sesh.
From things besides footbag - tomorrow is starting second week of my winter holidays ;P First week i spent generally on drawing and painting (I bought new pastel cryons, they are grejt ;P ). Next week will be similair, I think; but I hope too there will be more footbag than in last week

jazda

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 21 Mar 2008 06:26

more than 2 months without footbag ;O I almost forgot the feeling of good shred. My hip injure was so strong, I met with doctor and he said that is ripped back muscle. I haven't been training anything, inclusive everyday stretching. This time I spent generally on drawing. First time in my life I felt that I draw for myself, not for teacher or kind of popularity. So break in shreds has also good side. In next week I'm going to come back to trainings, but now it will be only relax, not the most important thing in my life - art is more important, especially in June I'm having tests to Art school. Painting, drawing, composition and history of art. I must show what I have, because my diploma isn't as good as I want to. However I'm pretty confident about these tests. If I develope my knowledge about history of art a bit I will be full convinced.

It's great to hear you'll come back to footbag. I hope yoo won't have problem. Nice to hear you want to go to art chool because you are talented and you must do something with this. You must build up your skills. It would be nice if you could show us your the latest drawing.

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 23 Mar 2008 07:39

heh, Thank You Maciek. Nice to hear You on my f-blog

It would be nice if you could show us your the latest drawing.

I was thinking about sharing my drawings on the blog sometimes, but every time I wanted to do it I was forgetting

In addition, now I draw in majority on bigger formats - it means A3 and bigger, so scanning it makes a little problem. if I won't forget I'll show You something with next note. Thanks for being interested in my activity, it's nice motivation.

Yesterday I played footbag first time since 2 months. I "hit" DLO on both sides, Fairy Leg Over b2b few times and some "highlights" like Guillotine and Ducking symp. mirage! I was so suprised when I did it, becouse it came very easy though the huge break. I saw, I'am full of energy and I tried Nova few times. I was very close to it, I think the closest in my life, but then my injure started to hurting again, so I have to stop playing.
I've observated that when I train footbag I commit to it so much, maybe to much. After only one shred my all thinks were devoted on footbag. It could be good attiutude, if I want to be the best footbag player in the world and earn money playing footbag, but I don't want to. If I want to train footbag I must change my set to this sport, because it "addict" me too much

Since few weeks I dance a bit too. Dance -it means kind of popping, electric boogie and locking, maybe some hip-hop. I always was impressed by these styles dancers. In next week I'm going to go on Popping lessons, which are giving at the gym in Cieszyn. My few mates have similiar plans. I think it will be good fun

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 24 Mar 2008 05:38

How I said, if I won't forget I would show some latest drawings. And I didn't forget. I've just finished scanning chosen pictures ....

now I'm uploading them on the server............

and here it is:

Little vernissage

Two drawings of my left hand, made with aquarell-cryons, about 3 months ago

My autoportrait made with pastels, painting from last week

Second autoportait, from last week also. Two days ago I counted all my autoportraits which I made and the score was more than 15

Every picture is different than other and not very similiar to me

It's funny. I think that, if I will draw the autoportait which will be in 100 % similiar to me, I will can draw other's people portraits. Quality of these autoportraits mark by Your own, if You know me ;P

A tree in a park and dry leaf, drawings from last month

Monster (?). Fantasy improvisation, I drew it, when I woke up in the middle of night some time ago

Town Hall in Teski Tesin

Big effort, lot of details and result not good as I imagined

I was drawing it in the time which I should spend in church on "Recolection" days

And on the end:
Funny collage from yesterday:
Bob Marley, Woras & Peja on the party at Woras' house

In my opinion it's massive

Milo · Post by **Milo** » 24 Mar 2008 10:42

Wow. I'm impressed. You are really good. You should show us your draw often.

Also I really enyoj pictures from Woras' party :d

Kiper · Post by **Kiper** » 25 Mar 2008 10:33

Thanks

Here is more stuff, which I scanned yesterday:

plant from my window ;P made with pastels

squeezed peace of paper

Hard work, but nice result. I like this drawing

"lifeless nature" (I don't know how to translate it from Polish ;P ) made with sepia

drawing of wooden sculpture

glass with water and brush. Made with aquarell cryons.

And it's all now
