Putain de merde - the times of abstinence and horrid boredom are over !

I felt really strange and unbalanced for the last month .
When one is injured and out for a bit, no matter how low and sucky
one might feel, things arent that gloomy, since you know what
your injury is and that you will come back sooner or later .

In that respect, i`m quite unlucky - my feet, esp the right one, are just
worn out and battered and will act up, totally uncalled for, and usually
with the most impossible timing . French open comes to mind, or the
xmas holidays ( thats when i got the keys for the shred room that Asmus mentioned ) .
Irony is a funny bastard i guess.

The doctors that ive talked to had mixed news for me . i dont have any
type of athrosis, no bones grinding on each other, but also, i dont have
a chance go be cured.
Whenever my feet give up on me, i have to wait it out, they`ve told me.
I got some pills, some exercises and might get new, different insoles.
Thats it . I think, i should look for another job, running and standing around,
with some sort of death penalty for sitting down, isnt the right thing for me.

But at least i feel better now and had a mini sesh today .
Rusty as a coffin nail, impatient like a annoying and arrogant child,
but equipped with enuff muscle memory to bust out some standards.
Fun nonetheless, barfly bs felt soo good . i hit some ok guiltless runs out
drills and stuff . Tomorrow i shall have a proper session, and i hope that
i behave myself and stay clear of silly expectations .

there will be a lot of rambling and self-indulgent analysis a few posts down :roll: , be warned !

Never believe school doctors.

I believe the solution for your problems is a change of style.
You should play more on your toes than on your heel - I strongly
believe this could help you.

The doctors couldn't help me with my knees either - but complete
rethinking of my game did help me. I never had any problems
with my knees since then.

I know how you feel Daryl. I know too good. But I also know that
there's a way out of it. Watch videos of yourself and analyze your
game and you will notice moments where you just put too much pressure
on your heels.

Keep shreddin',

i dont have a footbag injury.
my problems stem from the bad combo called :
flat feet, ignorance ( i.e. not attending krankengymnastik as a youth)
and a shitty job that turned this "condition"
into a problem over the years .

after i worked 6 hrs, like today, my foot hurts. i dont see how playing on my toes more shall help me with that ...

i dont have any pain when or after playing. i need a different job,
or at least, different shifts.

that said, a fine-tuning of style will surely help, in many respects and
i will also check into some alternative types of medicine .


forgive me the unhappy tone, i DO appreciate your caring.

I know how much your job at Foot Locker means to you and how much fun you had there but maybe it's time to move on.
I say this because I am absolutely sure that staying on your feet and footbag means more to you.

Comeback Session

and a bloody good one . not necessarily in the terms of shred,
but i had the right mind, the atmo was nice and my feet aswell as
my endurance choose to be on the good side of things. finally :P

the vibe of the day is best to be characterized as mildly chaotic,
i was suprized that i will shred, esp with other people, and sorta
had to squeeze the session in between all the other things that were
going on yesterday . i was a little late, didnt really warm up or
followed any structure known to man .
but that was probably the best thing to do for getting into the game
again, all kinds of selfinflicted drill nazism and
result-orientated narcissism were on holyday that day.
some basics, some drills, big ones, runs, chit chat, juggling, new links
with no order, but with great feelings provided by petty triumphs .

symp atomic legover>atomsmasher>run

atomsmasher>symp atomic leg>run

symp atomic leg>asassin>nice long run

quantum whirl

all my standard fives ( stampede, skullsmasher, tomahawk, phoenix,
alpha atomsmasher )


more to come on friday. hardcore drilling and form checking probably.

i switched from clutch to meditation and hit my first ever 5-5 combo :

symp atomic ss symp mirage>pixie ducking butterfly

when i played yesterday, i wasnt as mind-less as last time ; having trouble
with dlos, stepping and osis kinda set me back a bit and there were times when i thought about stuff during playing .
drag and distraction .

anyways, i was lucky and didnt get stuck in that loop and managed
to pump out a few good runs.
we didnt drill at all, just a bit of warm up - clippers and bops 4 me -
and went straight into shred. that was fun and intersting -i broke certain
habits in linking, and some trix turned out to be more integrated than i thought they were.

some fives begin to be downloadable more often, even skullsmasher.

and

i hit one of my dream trix :

Quantum Ducking Mirage :twisted:

No Shananigans Session :

this one was all business - no hard new trix, no pseudo prestige upping combos, just work .
but it was good work . being back on the anssi meth is soo the right
thing for me .


at the beginning i did tiltless and all kinds of clipper(drills), for like an hour.
i read something interesting in these highly reductionist threads
that go around in the general footbag section, it was about style, if i remember correctly .
anyway, somebody mentioned how precise Mathias clippers are and
how that is related to a good style.
Not a new thought by any means, but it struck me in the right moment.

then i did at least fifty butters, then 50 osis ( not in a row, of course ).

then 50 cons of dlo>butter>pdx mirage rpt - my best was 11 cons bs

after that i drilled paradon>pdx mirage, again 50 cons, followed
by 50 of dlo>para>pdx mir . i managed to hit the full drill only once tho...

i finished the session with ducking clipper>drifter>osis bs and dclip>whirl
>spin clip rpt - no seal on that, but considering the late hours, i still give
that one a :)

i wanna keep on with this way, with clipper/tiltless/bops being a constant
element, while the rest of the program being subject to change.
the way i feel now, i will work on sets, dlo, various whirls and barfly
next session .


Last but not least :

thanx for yo kind words, gang - i really apreciate that :D

Marco, i'm not sure bout todexon ...so i shall keep my promise and
send you bag and money with the hope that you will not take as long as me to send the bag back :lol:

I redeemed my promise and warmed up in the same fashion as last time.
Maby 80 tiltless, adding three runs up here, followed by a lot of clippers.
The clip>op clip thing stops to annoy me - it still feels too straneous for my tastes, but i guess i'm loosening up atm.
All this stuff is good for my infinities ; of course one might think, but i post this simple relation for exactement deux raisons, one being the vain hopes that some lost noob find my ramblings useful, the other is that i have to be reminded of this kinda stuff constantly.

My butters gave me a strange and crampy start, but i subdued them .
now i have to learn to let them flow on thir own.
Bea said, i should avoid jumping and told me to fall into them more .
true enuff, but i also have setting isssues i gotta smoove out, and most importantly i should do this slide/hop thing AT ALL TIMES .
All that shit was pretty intensive, so i left out working on osis today.






I hit at least 50 contacts ( in summa ) of the following drills, often more.
The only exception was the third combo - that one was first try and not
part of my program .


RESULTS :

10 contacts of ducking clip>whirl ( nu pb, former pb was 5-6)

dlo>ducking legover>rpt>run bs

d.mirage>ss dlo>rpt>small combo

legbeater>whirl>pdx mir>small run bs

legbeater>dlo>run bs

spinning clip>drifter bs



i couldnt hit those last two back2back for the life of me . but i have
a hunch that at least of of them shall fall into my lap next session :P


6 alternating toesalls while juggling ( 3ball cascade)

weird single trix like zoid pdx mirage or toe (in)gyro mirage
poppin out of nowhere with good form. kinda stoked on that...

Will try, old friend !

This was the first time in ages, that i was able to play three spectcular times a week .
It feels so great to play at the moment, and i'm grateful and happy that my feet and my motivation -
which clearly had suffered from all the countless injuries- didnt gave up on me .

It feels like i got a second chance and so far i can keep my vow of avoiding
my old mistakes . I tackle all the shadow material that hinders me to get good
( not clavens good, i'm kinda oast that, but good in my own world ),
and i perceive progress . sound and slow, on all quadrants and all levels.
I look over my shoulder more doing flip clippers, i get a more even rhythm
doing clip>op clip and infinities, flip atw and pixie are getting a bit deeper,
i found a way to keep up my variety and at the same time i stabilize and
lengthen my runs thru all that bop training .

The thing i like best about this new phase, is that i dont waste good time trying to hit some wild stuff anymore .
I know the locator points of my abillities at last . When i hit a new combo, but especially when hitting new moves,
they just manifest themselves, ending in a safe stall, within a few tries.


As for today, i started with a biiiig warm up/check up thing, same stuff as the last two sessions,
with osis this time, and some nice bop experiences.
The rest of the times went something like this :


butterfly>osis>symple swirl ( an old reqest of bjoern )

atomic gyro pick up

flip symple swirl !!!

paradon>gyro mirage>run>bothsides

paradon swirl :twisted:

toe blur>toe blur>atomsmasher>atomsmasher>run

toe blur>toe blur>toe blur

flipside skullsmasher


i almost got tb>tb>as>as on flip, but the last atom is another session away.
but thats kool, since i dont recall that i hit tb>tb starting on strong
until tonite



:P

You, sir, are a crazy madman. That last session was more than epic.
Paradon Swirl?! Atomic Gyro Pickup? Weeeeeeee!!!!!!

SCREAMING FOR A DARYL SOLO VIDEO! When someone really deserves
it, then it's you.

You are really pushing footbag in Munich to new levels, man. I'm speechless.

Thanks daddy ! I'm in a really passionate phase i guess, and i try to tackle
all my various weaknesses, those harder moves are more or less random and dont reflect my abillities at all, nor are they my main focus atm.
i work a lot on my downtime stuff and on basic clipper shit in general.
Today i did the typical warm up, but in a shorter time and afterwards, i drilled whirls, followed by a bit of flip toe blur .
It was a low session afterall, playing crappily is something i can bear,
but playing wanting to crap is a little to hard, even for me :wink: .
It seemed as if all my energy went straight into my digestion, and there wasnt much left for shred .

Anyways, i was close to hitting toe blur>roe blur>atom>atom from my other side .
but i hit two new trix and one drill .

gyro symple swirl

pixie gyro mirage

butter>whirl>whirl>rpt>rpt
