Tried this drilling system out. Today I drilled whirls, swirls, drifters, torques, DODs, DDDs, paradons and barflies. Drilling is ten times tougher than shredding (at least it feels like...) so at the end of the 45 min session my shirt was soaking wet. I guess I should have longer pauses between the drills.

Apart from that it felt really good. I actually hit new stuff like:
Paradon>Barfly bs
Symposium Whirl bsos
Barfly b2b (I'm pretty sure I hit it, but not 100 %)
DDD bsos

The other two "programmes" consist of:
1: mirage, legover, pickup, illusion and bops
2: pixie, fairy, stepping, atomic, ducking, diving, spinning

Nothing much but I had this challenge: 15 guiltless, as genuine as possible. Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time that I hit a complete 15 guiltless streak with this little bops, but this was a good run that I got on film. Here it is:

I have to say, efficient drilling is all too hard for your breath so I haven't done the 45 mins of drilling each sesh. That said, I don't mean I've only shredded and not drilled. In fact I drill once in a while every session. Today I mostly tried to improve my stepping, atomic, pixie and fairy.

Today I played 2 hours with Robert in the garage. He hit a new 5 today: pixie ducking osis and another new trick, fairy ss butterfly.

I hit some new stuff aswell:
Pixie diving legover
Smear>Atomsmasher rpt
Barfly>Ducking butterfly>DLO bs
Zulu clipper flip

We had this beer and shred session with Joonas and both of us were hitting new stuff.
What I can remember Joonas hit DOD and Paradon (there was something else too but he can post it himself).
I had a good run starting with symp whirl with dyno>ducking clipper bsos.
Also I hit a new trick (strong side) zulu whirl which I'm pretty proud of.

Yea it was so nice day, hit those you said + Parkwalk & Pixie Osis.

Yesterday I hit my first 5-5-5. Phoenix>Blurry Whirl>Paradox Torque. I got it twice during the session but the one I got on tape was actually a bit uncontrolled. Here it is anyways:

We played for like 3 hours and a half today with Joonas. For me it was a really good session and I guess for Joonas too after he got that relieving 4-4-4. (He sure got to drill his stepping set to hit that 4-4-4 which was Ripwalk>Stepping Osis>Blur

)

I actualy hit two challenges today which were: Smudge>Legbeater>Mirage rpt and DLO>ss DLO rpt.
Also I hit a run with Barrage>Paradon bsos and one side of DDD. I always drop DDD when dexing with the right leg... That's something to work on.

I hit eggbeater yesterday, only one side though, which has been haunting me for a long time (well not really). Today I hit bubbabeater (one side only) and Frankenstein which is a trick I've wanted to hit for a long time.

SSICKKKKKK. i didnt even think of linking any of my 5s yet but i will try to get 5 minimum ttoday! your getting sooo good.

Kimbe. · Post by **Kimbe.** » 23 Aug 2008 00:28

Manna you definitely should try it. Five 5's might be hard but three in a row you would definitely hit in one session.

Well, I made a small vid yesterday. I had a 50 min session a couple of days ago and I wasn't playing that good. The vid contains too many bops but the purpose was to show my double dexes, symposium whirls and blenders which are kinda new for me.

Hey both of you guys Â¬Â¬

Kimbe. · Post by **Kimbe.** » 25 Aug 2008 09:35

Haha. Well, thanks for the comments guys.

In other news, the summer holidays ended like 2 weeks ago and I'm already tired of school. I can't seem to find the least motivation to do homework and such stuff. It's been all about footbag and just hanging with friends. In fact, I dont think I've ever played as much footbag as last week. In hours I played 15-16 that week, which (I think) really shows in my shred now. Today we played again with Joonas and I hit really good stuff for me, I actually called this my best shred day ever: Spinning butterfly bsos, Barrage>Drifter>Whirl rpt to a run, Dyno>Torque>Ducking butterfly, DATW>DOD>DDD and last but not least Pdx barrage. Also I hit long runs in general.

After seeing some of the highspeed slowmotion videos Joonas decided to spend some money on a video camera with the highspeed function. Yesterday we tested this device. We filmed some single tricks with 300 frames per second and made a video. We made it in little time so the editing isn't perfect. Well, take a look at it:

We havenÂ´t been updating this for looong time, but here is some highlights from today!

TRIPWALK, bitcheeees!!

footed Toe Blur
pixies are getting better, strong side Smear mid-string, PLO bs.
a couple good attempts on nuclear set!

I cant really remember what Kim did, but iÂ´m quite sure i saw a SYMPOSIUM WHIRLING SWIRL!!

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here in our blog. Same goes for modified in general: I've tried to keep myself from posting lately, because I feel like there is nothing important to say and lot of what I'd actually post would be rubbish. Isn't it fun how it was said recently that European's posts are boring because they are only about footbag.

To keep it brief and European: some highlights lately (starting from the weekend two weeks ago)

- Whirling Swirl bsos
- Blurry Whirl bsos and later b2b
- Blurriest and Tomahawk bsos in a run starting with Ripped Warrior (otherwise only bops)
- Ducking/Zulu Drifter
- PS Whirl bs
- Symposium Whirling Swirl

Today:
- Pdx DLO>Dimwalk>Pdx DLO>Dimwalk>Butterfly?>PS Whirl, something like that.

And then a new 6, which I only got on the stronger side:
-Whirlygig

Now that's a bunch of high add moves, and I don't want to make it sound like I've only been working on them, but I feel like I've had good runs in general also.

That's it for now.

Hello, our non-existent readers!

Finally, my pixies are getting better; hit flip Dimwalk today.
Other highlights:

Legbeater>Blur>Dimwalk

footed Pixie muted Swirl!

And.. Kim had sooo many nice runs, and he hit Stepping ss Swirl. Such a cool trick. (I said lets try it.)

Thats all for today.

Yea this forum sucks.

Props for all the stuff you guys have been hitting, you're really making progress.
See you at FFO.

EDIT: Oh and make routines for FFO!
