I read this blog regularly, I just don't post much.

Thanks for the vid. Next time could you prop up the camera a bit so your head isn't cut off? It was a little disconcerting.

Tu as l'aire de bien jouer ces temps-ci! Ton shred a un bon look, c'est cool!

Aussi, les quelques rip walk que tu as fait back à back avaient l'aire pas mal plus facile que ceux que tu faisais avant!

Lache pas!

basement shred
62 infinity`s (new personal record?)

I dropped a lot on 20`s and 30`s, but the lights need to be improved in my basement, still some shadows causing the bag to slightly disapear.

at work : rev swirl - ss symple legover, rev swirl - far symple legover
on other clipper : symple rev swil - far symple legover, (did'nt hit the near version, or the non symple swirl version )

1hour backyard sess, almost no shred last week

worked on steps

blurry whirl both sides (I hit more flip blurry whirls today then I did in my whole footbag career!), on cam too, I'm looking forward to see what they look like.

then I worked on stepping out of a stepping trick, hit one drill : ripwalk - shmoe - pixie ss clip - rpt

then tried ripwalk - blur - pixie ss clip, - rpt, but never got that 2nd blur on either side, but some attempts with the first 3 tricks in good control

if it still goes like this, maybe I will step more in the future

1 contact away from ripwalk-blur-pixie ss clip-rpt

hit ripwalk-shmoe-pixie ss clip-rpt 2nd try

9 deep ripwalks in a row, took less then 10 tries.

step out of pîxie whirl first try, could'nt step out of pixie paradon, but for some reason they sucked and I gave up, bad day for paradons !

I kept driller that first drill for almost 1 hour, it was challenging and fun!

after yesterday's session I had things to prove myself

1 hour solo sess, and it was good, some great highlights

new trick: reverse whirlwind

run with both pixie drifter and pixie ss drifter bsos

flip pixie torque is a joke, actually became strong :)

Trying to do smog - plo - rpt, but too hard still.

watching my video from 2 days ago, just realised I hit reverse whirlygig for the first time.

Besides that no shred yesterday, no shred today, probably shred tomorrow.

Started emptying my pool today, this takes forever :(

40 mins shred

hit most of my 6`s on camera, gonna make a small video for that later.

runs sucked, but I wanted to hit my 6`s and tried some new ones, but the ones I can hit where hit fairly fast! I think at one point I had 4 different ones in a row on first try

another 1 hour sess

pixie ducking clip - gyro dlo bsos

pdx whirl - ddd (new combo for me) also worked a bit on ddd, I figured I set the bag way too far, and setting closer helped, but is still confusing even tough it's simple.. bad habbit.

gyro diving clip - gyro whirl.. took so many tries but was whirling every try? just could'nt stall for some reason. also footed flip.

working on my steps as well, doing steps will make me hit flurry one day, my attempts seemed better then before today.

oh yeah, also flip pixie ss dlo, new trick, never tried because I was sure I could'nt hit it, but flip symple legovers pay off slowly :D
