played on the french ocean today! had lots of people asking for questions.
was my first sess in a week, felt a bit rusty, practiced routines a lot, ended up getting at the level I was for my routine, averaging 2 to 4 drops ( too many)
had a 1 drop routine. also did a pretty good improvised routine to the 4 5 6 7's song Woo Hoo, it was really good and varied, had a lot of props from the crowd.
footed gyro whirl>drifter>drifter>gyro whirl

aaaah please mat i want you and ianek back haha! I'm kinda alone now in montreal as you left 
. Sam doesn't play much since he works and kolo and julien do maybe 1 session per week with me. I don't have any news of mathieu soucy so i'm playing alone most of the time. Well, it's not that good to learn to move but it allow me to put a lot of time to get my basic more consistant 
. Hope you'll have fun at worlds!

so already 9 days since I left montreal, for a total of 2 shreds and one was 20 mins
Bordeaux was fun, got to see an old friend,
Montpellier is a really nice city, but after 2 days I felt like I seen enough, the bike ride for the whole day was great. The net players are soo good, Miquel and Nico are the bomb together, I hope they play together at worlds and do good. Played with PT as well, it was really fun to play net with such good players, and they where very encouraging.
Went to Carnon from Montpellier by bike, nice place, nice beach. Oh yeah, I totally did`nt know in Eruope babes would only wear monokini! Another great thing. Also went to another beach close to Bordeaux, good images in my head
Yesterday was a mess, I was suposed to take the bus at 7AM from bordeaux to Frankfurt, at 11:30AM the bus was`nt there yet. I hoped with some german guy by car with 3 other girls, the guy was weird, real weird. He left us in Freibourg, from there we took the train (without paying) to frankfurt.
The girls got cought, not me tough. That`s right, they are scared of Canadians in Germany I guess
The controller actually said they had enough from our group of extra fee`s, no need to charge me more! The girls are never going to pay anyways...
Today I will probably see Daniel and Mathias from Franfkurt and Mainz, then I will take the bus to Wroclaw. Cannot wait to be in Poland, one of my favorite countries so far.
Shredwise no news, but in the next week the footbag will pick up a lot!

1 hour drilling
new tricks: flip eggbeater (bsos too) and pdx eggbeater (almost bsos on pdx)
It's very hard because my flip symple legovers are bad
working a lot on steps, doing many step ss clipper
flip record is 2, strong is 3, not enough control on those yet, guess I should have worked on steps like this long time ago, anyways, theres improvement, some flip sets are starting to surprise me, maybe it will be way better then my actual strong side
stolen from james blog, I hit zulu clipper - pdx drifter - rpt (maybe he had it the other way around, but I can do it either way, took me few attempts
wanted to hit flip symp whirl, but guess it's not ready yet, still need to do a lot more training on flip leg, more jump rope in the next days.

more flip eggbeaters
worked a lot on steps again
managed to hit a drill in the process, step far legover - pixie legover- dimwalk - rpt
also ripwalk - symp whirl
also I did'nt feel so well in my overall game if I tried to do runs, at one point I wanted to do a pdx eggbeater, and for god sakes I could'nt even get close anymore, it was frustrating, so I switched to easier stuff..

.sick again, this fall sucks, Sorry Jay, I keep getting sick.
Played for 2 hours, full of crap. No trick was working at all, so I focussed on single tricks for most of the session.
Also worked on trying to be patient with myself, when nothing is working, getting frustrated makes it worst.
Tried to make flip steps less slurry, can't do it. I know what to do but my body won't do it. I tried slow, fast, with the bag, without it, nothing works.. ughhhh I think I had a not so slurry blurriest and blury whirl, will look at my cam later.
Got flip pdx dlo within 3 tries, working flip pdx egg helps a lot on my flip symple legover tricks. I need to keep doing it.
finished the day with eggbeater-toe drifter-dlo-rpt *footed last dlo

one of the worst sessions of my life.
nothing worked at all, easy or hard tricks. sucked
I had food 1 hour before the session, and used a pair of shorts I never used. Don't know if there is a link, but god I felt so good but played so crappy.
2 highlights worth of mention:
toe set double pickup on one side, hurts too much to do it on flip
7 consec ripwalks, new record, but could go for more.
