Today i met up with Bea for a sweet innocent session at a new spot
in Olymia park-which turned out as kool and shred-convinient as can be -
close to Munichs summer tollwood festival site .
We had a little chat and then went into very chillaxed warm up proceedings
such as circle kicking, tiltless orgies and a fair deal of
bop work. She hasnt been playing for a while, so when i went on
trying to fit in as many concepts into the warm up as i could, she wisely
choose to take it easy and stuck to the simple stuff for once .
Andi also found his way down an hour later, and we started to go for
some runs. He was doing very well, tieing his records many a time,
and even breaking them twice
. This kid got some nice out-in dexing
skills, he will be sooo good at all double downs and eggbeater trix !
I dunno, but the thing i love best about crew sessions is to watch other
people play - i just love to watch hack, and Bea is so fun to watch too.
Her style and execution are immaculate on certain concepts, esp.
infinities, pixie and stepping .
And the second best thing about group shred is the plain fact that i finally
get to freestyle ! I dont know, but when i'm doing the akon thing,
i never do runs for real . I might seal stuff with a string, but thats it -
90 % of my late footbag life is dedicated to reps and drills
Anyway, the more tired i became the more into it i got, and shattered
this pdx with a vengeance . Everything went so well, i hit some big whirl trix
with good form, hard combos,lots of first try stuff, some on command, some on the spot.
I havent had an "ON" day like that before, i would like to say "out of
control", but the opposite is true.
For the first time i felt that i know what was doing.
I planned a start, 3 atomsmasher e.g., then some bops to get into the
next segment, dlos lets say.
As the first wave of tiredness kicks in, i delibarately take refuge in some dexless,
taking out speed. Pdx mirage>toe2toe galore, butter>a biiig pdx dlo to catch my breath, then a risky combo to finish off.
I felt as if i was preciously rewarded for all the work of late, at last some
longer runs with decent variety and bothsidedness - but i'm most glad
about the emerging ability to "theme" my runs at will.
I love to have footbag in my life .
20+ non drill-like bops
