4th sess in 4 days, and I'm also going to play tommorow!

Played at place des arts, first outdoor sess of the year. It was too cold, lots of wind.
I played for people and not for myself. Made 3$ without advertising for money. Got filmed by CBC local tv. Got taken in picture by Le devoir local newspaper. And 2 rnadom guys took pictures.

That picture from Le Devoir was amazing, but I doubt I will ever see it. With all the past experiences I had giving the journalist my email I never got anything back.

The surface where I played was in angle, about 20 degrees angle. Not really good for footbag.. I did easy tricks, crowd pleasers. Lots of spins, ducks, datw. and simple tricks such has consecutive legovers, mirages..

Also had a 10+ contact 2 bag juggling, super controlled. Havent tried that since december!

Boooobs!

I've been practising gyro a bit in anticipation for my trip to montreal. Your gyro looks really consistant on videos. Gyro, symple/symposium, and diving/ducking are currently my favorite concepts.

Jean-martin is in Edmonton. We kicked twice last week and spicking of kicked I somehow managed to get us kicked out of my university athletics building.

What stuff have you been practising recently?

See you in less than 2 weeks.

What I've been working on lately? :
I've been practicing long runs while including 2 adds in the process.
Playing more for public then myself for over a week, and it's fun :D

Yesterday was tamtam, I played ok, had some good runs, a the'd whirr and smog bsos for the first time.

Played with Kolo for the first time in like 10 months! He's so good at 2 bags juggling now, really impressing, I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks :D
