Xenias b-day was a good time, i'm happy she liked my presents!

They were: two scarfs (one for summer time, other for now) and a neat hat.

We had dinner at her place with her family, then went to the center of the city, walked there for a bit and went to the cinema.We watched I Am Legend.I liked this movie alot , so did Xenia.We both feelt a bit sad after it.

I stayed at her place, and left today at 4.I came home toke my shred stuff and went to meet Ramil.We played footbag for a little less than 2 hours.

I didnt hit any new tricks. Few new/or just hard/feelt good drills.

magellanx2>plo>rpt Actually i can feel how pixie gets better.

step clip>sidewalk>ripwalk>rpt>run

pixie ss mirage>smear>rpt - first time hitting it, also hit it first try> run

ripwalk>whirl>step clip>rev whirl>rpt - new drill , i should do this kind of stuff more. sealed it with pdx whirl>step clip>pdx whirl>drop

I need a solo session so i can drill spinning,gyro mirages , drifters and stuff.

I just toke a shower: i decided i drill DATW and just setting pixie and fairy.

I defeated my bro in Age of Wonders 2 like 3 times

he was all like prepare to die and stuff

and gets owned.

I thought about the stuff i could do at night(i dont go to sleep untill 2-3 am ussually)

Beatboxing - well its under qeustion if it wont be loud and disturb the sleeping family.

Guitarre - fingerpicking technique and learning to switch chords, intergrating barre chords.

Webdesign - adding info to our crews webpage.(i should do this and get it online)

B-boying - i can train waving/gliding.But i can get lazzy or i get carried away and start hitting ill have to go to bed being a bit sweaty cuz taking a shower is noisy and noise=bad=angry father

.

Juggling - If i get a few juggling balls i could learn how to juggle.It isnt that noisy.Im looking forward to this.

There's alot of stuff to be learned/done.I definatly should spend more time training toprock and footwork, and powermoves.Oh well, i should become a good bagger first.

Oh by the way, im loving my new Ilja bag.Old school mothafucka(it's kind of big).

Maybe some1 could suggest something cool that i could learn/do.Maybe i dont even know about it.

I received a letter from the goverment today.They want to play footbag on the presidents b-day.

Yeah righttttttt

It was a call to army.I need to go to the med comission on the 7th of February.

Had a small neat session with Ramil hit some new drills.

Osis>step clip>rpt

step op osis>ripwalk>rpt

osis>ripwalk>osis step clip>rpt

torque>ripwalk>rpt

drifter>spin clip>rpt .Also hit a bunch of spinning moves BSOS (clip,osis,legover) and spin clipx5 strong,x4 flip.

dimwalk>step clip>step ss lo>pixie op clip>blur>rpt (dropped on last blur).

Some neat shuffle combos the longest prolly was around 9-11 contacts.The best thing that they dont wear me out much, especially stepping seems to eat less energy.Bops become easier too.

Another session with Fedja and Ramil in the town hall in 3 hours.Gonna shower, eat and prolly play guitarre.

Cleaver is sick, watched his new video alot.Sick sick sick, i hope ill be on the same level one day(in 2-3 years hopefully

).

A good session it was with Fedja and Ramil.It was lots of fun at the end.

hit symple swirl>ripwalk>rpt again(2nd time ever)

ss btfly>bubbabeater>rpt>ss btfly>dlo>rpt

sidewalk>ripwalk>rpt>step clip>ripwalk>rpt

step clip>sidewalk>step whirl>ripwalk> went for repeat dropped on step whirl , on the delay.

pdx whirl>rev whirl>rpt>far rev whirl>whirl>rpt i call it whirl war mix

Had weird dreams this night, oh well i rarely see them so i geuss even weird dreams are good.

Had difficulties waking up, but i did drank coffee had flakes with yoghurt and now im sleepy but trying to wave a bit

.I discovored a way to do waves b2b on my legs, so today is already a good day

a new element is understood.

Trying to convince Ramil to shred

he is being lazzy.

I decided ill post in one post/edit it during the day if i feel like it.

EDIT 1:

A bit than hour long session with Ramil.We both felt extremly sore.

Symple swirl>ripwalk BSOS, in a nice run

clip set dlo>ss whirl>rpt

bubbabeater>ss whirl>rpt

symple swirlx2 BS

rev whirl>symple swirl>whirl>symple swirl BS (maybe not, im not sure)

toe rev whirl>pdx mirage>rpt>whirl>pdx illusion>rpt

Dont know what else.

Gonna shower>eat>go to the youth center guitarre there for a bit and b-boy, maybe a bit of swirling drilling.

EDIT2:
B-boyed for an hour or so, low power.

Feeling progress(and i do mean progress) in toprock and handstands, other stuff is coming along slowly.
I geuss my beatboxing is better now too, sort of

Gonna finish my tea and train waving for a bit, then shower.

EDIT3:

Leaning glides/walks is kind of fun, stupid too.

Breaking is hard, well power moves are fucking hard. Damn it.Hard

hahaha, ill get them anyway.

Pumped to get all this stuff, and make a skills/promo video.Maybe just a vid first in spring, promo summer or if i go to military after it... Its okay to go there, we got 6 hours of free time everyday.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 09 Jan 2008 04:58

Bummer i went to the post office today, they G'6 arrived BUT i need to pay 950 krones which is like 85$ WTF. :S

Going to go train in a few.

EDIT:

We decided to make a quantum session with Ramil, we didnt school quantum set for hours

we just used the shoe.

They are definatly lighter than G'6 double dexes , eggbeaters are easier to do.

I had some sweet shuffle combos, and bubbabeaters were sauced many times.

Close to:
magellan>smear>magellan>plo>rpt
dimwalk>step op lo>smear>pixie op clip>step op lo>rpt
Really close to these drills.

New move - fairy op symp rev whirl Bs
fairy ducking btfly BS - this one probably has been hit before.

Had a sweet run that started wirh pdx blender>pdx whirl. Had blenders sauced, 1 bubbateater for sure something else... ended with dyno>torque>ps whirl(drop) so missed the delay.It was flip torque>ps whirl btw.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 10 Jan 2008 12:42

Productive workshop today.

Hit DSC bs today, flipside was for the first time.

close to magellan>smear>magellan>plo>rpt dropped on last plo.

Going to visit Sanja tommorow, we have a show on saturday.should be fun.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 14 Jan 2008 02:38

The trip was quite cool, im lazzy to write alot about it.

But, the battle was good, i enjoyed getting all the b-boy inspiration, next year im going to battle there too

.
Our show went okay, i fucked up a bit, i need to drill juggling more.

Also played footbag with Fedja yesterday.

barflyx5 (ended the session with this).
infinity>ddd>Rpt Flip DDD sucks, needs to be scholed more.

Close to some neat drills.

Pixie in quantums is easier than in G6?

Still cant get my shoes, i dont have the cash.Stupid taxes.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 14 Jan 2008 11:55

Good day.

First of all my shoes will be rechecked and i will have to pay less for them at the post! Check pointtt.

New moves:
fairy op dyno BS
legeater (miraging pick up)

Didnt step much today, shins were on (to much symp practise yesterday btw i've hit 4 or 5 rev ps whirls).

Also when ill go to army in autumn (90%) so it is fucking awesome, summer spend training/chilling with gf , and ill be in Prague!

Oh yeah ill sooo be battling when i return from the army, ill be a nice b-boy.Im going to try and toprock atleast 5 times a week.

One question Aleksei! How can you rpt this without a pdx mirage/blur or pdx illusion/blizzard?

But anyways, props!

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 15 Jan 2008 02:58

yeah pdx mirage in there

forgot about that one.

The beginning of the day sucks, i slept to much.My father started bitching about stuff. Bleh...

A good session raised my mood, so did Ksenia.

Almost hit ripstein BSOS, aint it cool, i was close 2 or 3 times(in a tiltless run with osis and op/ss clips).

new move - rev whirlwind BS

whirling swirl BSOSx2,symple swirl bsos,and far symple swirl bsos in one run, tho tiltless too.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 16 Jan 2008 10:59

Another workshop today, this one was operated by Uve and me.Well it was fun, though this time the kids were kinda lazzy.

But as it seems to always happen, when the crowd is gone a kid comes in and i kick with him, and teach him and give him my msn so he can ask me qeustions, well if he starts shredding.

I've hit a new move - blurry eggbeater.It was cool to hit it right infront of that random kid first try(well i tryed it before he came in).

I played in quantums, i dont like them.Slippery.

Went to the youth center when we arrived in Tallinn, had a little b-boy session, thought of a new toprock variation.Hit a really deep hollowback it was sweet! And one hand stand BS for about 1 sec, well its a start.Ordinary handstand feels alot more controlled, though far to be perfect.

Didnt train waving for 2-3 days or so, and right now i ate so much food that i turned lazzy, maybe later.For now ill go play Heroes 3 campaign.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 17 Jan 2008 10:34

End of the week, im low on energy.Well not right now, but while training i feel tired.

New drills:

toe op rev whirl>whirl>dyno>dlo>rpt

close to toe op whirl>reverse whirl>blender>dlo>rpt, hard to set for dlo of flipside blender.

yet again close to ripstein bsos, ill be saucing them like its nothing during the summer.

divex2>duckx3>rpt all nice and clean, as ramil stated.Working on cleaning my ducking/diving.

Had a little b-boy session too, nothing new there.Also waved for a bit in the morning, i might do that later in the evening too.

Getting my new G'6 tommorow! Fuck yeah, and ill have to pay only 10$? instead of 85!! Now this owns, i wanted to rest tommorow but ill have to try them on

.

Oh yeah i also liked pixie ducking clip>pdx blender>run

Gonna shower and eat.

Peaceeee

PS.

Order old school size bags from Ilja, they are awesome

.Maybe a bit harder to double dex them, but hey

bigger bags own.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 18 Jan 2008 09:57

Fuck yeah, i got my new G'6! And i love them, they fit mne perfectly!

Though i had to run around the town quite alot to get them, they told me i need one amount of money, and then i come there and find out that i need a little bit more, and the ride there from my house is around an hour and a half, anyways i the end i got them

.

My cat stole one of my glass holder thingies, and without i tend to lose my glasses while spinning, well atleast i had 1 of them for todays session, ill try to find or buy a new pair.

Okay, shred.

7 contacts of step clip>blur>smear>dimwalk>rpt so clooose

tomahawk>whirling swirl midstring , dropped on saucing flipside, and i missed the fucking delay on whirling swirl.

whirling swirl>ripwalk BS, i might repeat it soon.

One shuffle combo was about 12-13 contacts (pxie,fairy,stepping).Need to drill flipside atomic, i've lost it.

blender>op clip>blender>ss clip>rpt, same with dynos.

Just overall great session, nice runs.Ramil was busting out too!

Oh yeah, a new move - whirling ss mirage , both sides.Sauced whirling far lo again too.

Had a little b-boy session too.

My gf will come over my place in a few minutes, i was out of the town the last weekend, so we didnt get to spend much time together.This weekend im not going anywhere!

Oh yeah ill take a footbag break for the weekend, well ill try too.I love how every session i/we have is always great!

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 18 Jan 2008 17:04

This feeling i just got while watching a bunch of videos.Many awesome footbagers from all over the world.I sat and smiled, footbag has a great future.

Im so happy that im a footbagger, i love to live it.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 25 Jan 2008 14:23

I was soo sick sunday>wensday.It sucked.

Im feeling better now.Had a crappy session yesterday.

Played low today, drilled the basics, and flipside DDD.

Hit rev swirl>rev swirling pick up(rev up?) BS, and rev up bsos.Trained my flip pendulum, whirling rake bsos.Gonna drill them uns moves more, they are fun to do.

Toprocked for 10-15 mins? Though of a new variation.You all will see my break skills when i make a video, though it will be in June

.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 30 Jan 2008 11:17

Im feeling quite lazzy to write here lately.

I geuss i've recovered from the stupid illness, though i sometimes feel low energy on shred sessions.

I lost the stupid swirling set, its coming back slowly and it is harder to do it in new shoes

.

Im on a period right now, when i need to force myself to drill shit and ill level up, now im feeling a bit down.

Bsosed stepping ss swirl today in like 30 tries? I wanted to do things i wanted to on my second session, well thats basicly what i did.

Im soo into whirling swirl/symple swirl variations now.Trying to work on spinning more too.

Doing longish ~30 contacts tiltless drills.

Filmed my toprock today, my footwork is good but my arms are doing nothing and it doesnt look complete.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 31 Jan 2008 12:07

Today i filmed a bit and here it is a little blog video for those who are interested, there are a few drills and stuff.

Also i started working on tutorials for Gravity Controls webpage and just youtube ill be doing them in russian,estonian and english

buahaha it is fun.

My paradons are fucking the, wtf.I used to have really nice deep dexes, oh well fuck them.

Here's the link to the video.

http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/13711

Im happy about the last drill.Actually i started filming it because i wanted to show off it to Fedja

and then i decided to film more stuff.

I might film again tommorow.It is fun than just solo drilling.

Oh yeah this drill didnt make it to the video flo>plo>smear>plo>rpt. Thanks to jajjoo for inspiring me to drill toe shuffle.

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 31 Jan 2008 12:16

you look like you bend over a lot when you do stepping, you should experiment with standing more straight up, and i want to see you hit that flip stepping ss clipper with a plant instead of that wierd leg extension thing, if your going to be doing a lot of tripless i think random clipper bails look horrible i think i saw 2 of them in here. Sometime i agree with others when they say you body lets you do more than your really capable of, and it shows in your form i think.

i really like where your shuffle is going, expecially clipper shuffle it looks pretty solid, even though you say your paradons are the, its all good, i wish they were my paradons, because those look really good. Your nukes are getting pretty consistent it looks like too awesome!

all in all, nice blog video

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 31 Jan 2008 15:06

That stepping ss cliper is actually strongside

.

Thanks for the comment, ill try to be straighter.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 01 Feb 2008 06:40

Low energy session today with Ramil.

Though i hit 2 new tricks barefoot:

pigbeater BS
downtime DSO BS

We also had heaps of fun with this game.From 3 meeters you have to pendulum footbag in too a jug,cup,little box, or shoes.Who ever first scores wins a king size tupla.

Loads of fun, Ramil scored first he got the jug

i had a turn and if i wouldnt score anything i would lose.But with the very last bag i scored his shoe

.Later Ramil scored 2 times in his run and i lost.

Well it was fun.

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 04 Feb 2008 12:03

I toke the weekend off and didnt shred or break.Spent it with my girl, which was nice.

Fedja came back to Tallinn, so we had a session.It was quite a session, my legs are soo sore now.

I hit some okay strings.Close to the end we started drilling stuff.

I almost landed ripwalkx3>sidewalk>step clip>sidewalk>rpt missed the last sidewalk.

Then i started trying fearless links and just 5's.

Hit superfly BS and they feelt easier than before.

tomahawk>blurry whirl BS (new link).

Veeeeeery close to PS eggbeater on both sides.

b whirl>spinning whirl BS (i think a new link too).

toe whirl>diving whirl>pdx eggbaeter (nearly BS). This would be a really good drill.

I geuss i could play better if i would try to push my limits more often.

I really enjoyed hitting all the fearless stuff, i didnt mention all of it.

Too bad i didnt hit b whirl b2b>ps whirl>mobius.Mobius is cool.I need to catch up on it on my flip and same deal with pdx blender/food.

Oh fuck i slighly footed montage on my flipside! I was so pumped, i geuss ill be saucing it one day.

Oh yeah dsox3>paradon>whirling swirl>spinning clip feelt cool too.
