Hmm..

Some random highlights from the last few weeks.

Flail*12 bs.
Smog->Pigbeater*10 contacts bs.

Funny story behind massacre bs. My friend, who is ~tiltless said "it'd be so cool if someone did a move like the matrix, where they just did, like," and then he mimicked massacre while holding onto a beam above him. I then thought to myself "Ah hell, I should be able to hit that trick by now"...So, I got it first try both sides. He looked at me like I was an asshole.

Scorpion's tail*4 one side, and scorp*3->spinning butter->scorp the other.
Scorpion's tail->ripwalk*12 contacts.
Void->void.
Spinning ducking drifter bs.
Senior Overbo asked me about toe symp whirl, and I had never done one..So, I got his drill of whirl->pdx dlo->symp whirl*rpt, being a new drill and trick
Matador*3 bs.
downtime swirling pickup bs.
Fairy spinning double down. Fairy tale?
Mobius->mobius bs.

Anyway, school has been kicking my ass for the last 2 weeks. I've probably only played 4 times this week, and I feel, useless? I had a calculus midterm, which I studied about25 hours for, then a statics midterm for another 25 or so hours, an economics midterm tomorrow which should be "stupid easy", and then a dynamics midterm on Monday which I will have to start studying for RIGHT after economics is done. Luckily for me, my room mates are typically noisy with their friends, so Jorden Moir is going to help me move my room's worth of furniture on Sunday morning. A little bit more going on than usual.

The only way I've gotten my scorpion's tales to actually work, is by doing them Anssi Sundberg style..Which, is infact just a Finnish twist on "vasek style", which, is likely just a twist on "The Regulator" style. It is that "Hey look, this is basically slurry, but since Vasek does it it's considered clean" story. I mean, there is none of seeing the bag leaving my foot or anything, and my set foot doesn't just dangle out beside me while I turn my head, but, well...Just slo-mo "Feeling Worlds" by Mads and look as Vasek's Fearless combo. The spins for scorp/spinning whirl are just, well, drop dead sexy.

I don't think I posted Jorden/johnny/Larni session highlights either. I hit flip gauntlet, and spinning far rev symple swirls in that. Other than that I sucked.

By the way, my right foot blender is awkward. I need to do about 1000 more next session and just say "HEY YOU, SETTING FOOT, keep setting it to the same place". My fundamental problem is, I'm not solid enough on my delay for blender to get a nice, low, perfectly straight set everytime when doing twisty combo's. For osis, you can set just about anywhere and catch it, but that whole "dex" involved with blenders makes training them unique, in that you must learn a new "set"...Or rather, refine the "blender set". Well, this is for me anyway, those out there with Klouda, Bujko, or Goldberg for last names probably don't have these problems.

[jay7]

I am visiting my sister in Ottawa, and just got done a session.

blender->vortex->dyno->vortex->dyno->vortex->blender->vortex->twirl->vortex->infinities->twirl->vortex

Taking some Jorden notation,

Vortex Swirl, bs

One side, my swirl foot stomped the ground and the bag popped up about 6 inches, the other side it was ~heel and I spun out of it, so both weren't really solid seals. However, it is still nice to know that it will, in time, become a real trick for me.

I also drilled toe for about an hour. The main goal I had in mind was "Get my fairy / atomic as useful as pixie". I think that for the next while, I'll work on the Vasek Combo (until the ps whirls / mobius,..Thanks Vasek..) with fairies, and also I'll see if I can get fog->atom->alpine legbeater*rpt.

A few days ago, I started drilling ducking illusions. I was thinking that like, if I did a typical clipper->toe trick, like blur, and into toe ducking illusion, Jorden might grin a little.

Double spinning is definitely coming along. I got ripwalks out of both of them, and I hope that by the end of the month I'll be able to do a drill with those. I also got inspinning clipper*2 bsos, which is surprisingly hard for me. I think I may, also have my definition of inspinning clipper wrong, since mine end on the opposite foot resulting in a change of direction...IS that right?

I got some needles from Johnny the other day...Time to start stitching again

Farewell, "his fizzied".

[mc]

dude.

this page so far is nasty. that vortex run is off the hook.

Will is preparing his halloween costume for tonight. he's wearing a bandana with skulls on it, and a wireless modem held on to him by a super long ethernet cable that he has wrapped around his upper body.

What is he, you might ask?

a software pirate.

Hope you can come visit soon.

[acxel22]

crazy stuff Jay, I am happy to see you pushing the limits! I was waiting towards this!

[jay7]

Thank you for the comments, both of you! You two in particular, have influenced my game in big ways. Without either of you, who knows where I may have ended up. I also thank you for that.

Today I had a decent session, watching Johnny. Fuck he's good. Did you know his knee can move, right across his body when he plays footbag? Like, he literally just, takes his knee, puts it through his stomach, and it ends up on the other side...And the bag just nukes itself. I also hear that this phenomenon allows for "speed holes", making a quick return with little air resistance possible. The same concept can be analyzed by watching Anssi Flurricane, or triaging legover....

After I was done watching Johnny for an hour, and I went to a few more classes and whatnot, ate dinner, did some homework, I had a session by myself....

-Fairy Everything,
-Fairy dlo->fairy ss dlo*rpt
-Fairy ss symp mirage*rpt, Johnny footwork style, not Jorden style.
-tapping ss symp mirage->fairy ss mirage*rpt
Trust me, it took about 20 minutes to actually figure out the footwork. The amount of taps, timing, etc, is easily confused, and can come out as a "stomping" variant..So ugly
-Quantum dlo, bs.

I also "sacked" myself, while trying fairy ss miraging flail. The bag, and heel of my shoe decided to just get all up in my grundle. Thanks. Great session ender.

[Asmus]

Make Johnny make a new video. I am craving. And say hi from me.
Haven't talked with him in a while.

Nice with Fairy Everything!
Was thinking about this the other day:
Clipper Downtime Everything! Something along the lines of:
Blender, rev whirl, whirl, dyno, butterfly, osis, swirl, rev swirl (will be hard).
I think it would look sick.

I seriously cried once after sacking myself. Try to stay of that.
You need to make footbag babies one day you know.

You are welcome to come visit me in Copenhagen anytime.
Hope to chat soon.

[jay7]

Asmus, that is perfectly understandable. Johnny literally shits style, even on a fruit heavy day.

I am sure I could hit clipper everything, the way you wrote it. I have hit the blender->paradox blender*rpt->dyno->far dyno*rpt, which is the hardest part I suppose. Tell you what, the next time I see you, I'll make sure I can hit that. Sound fair? :p

As for a Johnny video, your wish has been granted. For the last week I worked on a Johnny video, and finished it, but yesterday Johnny and I agree'd I should change one, non-shred part. More on that, sometime later..If you check out fourkast.com, eventually. Good things are stirring in that area of the web.

As for footbag, I have done some interesting things as of late I guess. I can't say I will recall them all, but I'll write some things down.

Today:...

Inspinning torque bs.
Flux->Torquescrew bs.
Drifter->vortex*rpt with a torque inbetween every contact.
Stepping far rev whirl.
Spinning far rev whirl.
Ducking far rev whirl.
Toe rev whirling swirl.
Far rev whirling swirl.
Stepping far rev whirling swirl.
Stepping ss rev whirl (hardest)
Smear->toe blur*16 contacts.
Wonton dyno bs.
Wonton Refraction, bs, half the attempts of dyno
Wonton ss osis, muted? All one jump anyway.. bs

Just before I ended the session, I said to myself "It'd be nice to get good at whirling too"... So, I learned that again the way Johnny and Jorden do it. Obviously angels don't start to sing, all I did was whirling far clipper->spinning clipper*rpt, but it was pain free, and felt, smooth. I want to hit whirlwalk soon. Manna hit that, like shit, a year ago? What ever happened to him. *shrugs*

I forget most of the highlights since, 10 days ago, but I'll list what I can remember..

Fairy symp swirling ss blender, bs.
Blur->tripwalk->blur->quantum ss butterfly*rpt->whatever->blubberman
Jani->jani bsos with 4 additional janiwalkers.
I didn't hit the entire drill, but I've hit many halves and many different orders of the following combo.
smear->toe blur->*rpt->magellan->toe blur*rpt->plo->quantum ss mirage*rpt->pixie ss mirage->quantum ss mirage*rpt.
Toe inspinning clipper->rev swirling toe*rpt
And a footed attempt at swirling spinning motion. Both sides would have been those really, really ugly motions, dirty in fact, but it also would have been a nice trick. The spin would have been pulled too. Ugh, just, splurging set I think. not slurging, nor surging, but, splurging. Not the good kind, the kind that stings.
*edit* 25 spinning butterflies b2b..

...I hit ps whirl yesterday for the first time, since, October? ps whirl b2b, whirlwind bsos,.. All kind of lame. Ps whirl doesn't interest me much as a concept, in comparison to, like, diving legover. That is a lie, I actually wish I was Vasek, but to make myself feel better I say that. Ps whirl is SO absolutely epic, when you get a massive, massive jump with a silent plant, and just dig that spinning clipper out of it. Makes your crank feel oh so tender. Like the pork chops I made for dinner tonight. Mhm. Why must I lie to myself you ask? Because I know ps whirl is bad for you, and if you don't have knee's made of steel it isn't a sound idea to wreck them.

Will Digges.

Hell, Anssi Sundberg. Has anyone read that 3 dex thread? Like, blurriest->whirring swirl*rpt? Accelerating he is my friends. I can't wait to shred in his shred shed.

AS for Champion's league, that is still such a great DVD. Nice, cheery music, baby Vasek, baby weber, and Ales. It'd be nice to have an epic face like Vasek, but I don't think I can really control that. The shot where he's just, looking around near the golden gate bridge...Ugh, such style. He was only like, 15 when that was shot? Pure Mastery.

[Asmus]

As for a Johnny video, your wish has been granted. For the last week I worked on a Johnny video, and finished it, but yesterday Johnny and I agree'd I should change one, non-shred part. More on that, sometime later..If you check out fourkast.com, eventually. Good things are stirring in that area of the web.

So stoked!!
I owe you a kebab!

I like rev whirl and wonton action and some of the other highlights are ridicolous.
Props from Scandinavia.

Sunil > Jani > rpt ?

[Will Digges]

Because I know ps whirl is bad for you, and if you don't have knee's made of steel it isn't a sound idea to wreck them.

Will Digges.

Are you implying that I've injected Adamantium into my knee's like Wolverine? Well I have it was the best operation i've ever had.

You are getting so damn good Jay!! Mad props on everything, and i'm wicked jealous you get to go to finland!

Can't wait to shred if you come to Rochester in a couple weeks. I will be back the Sunday or Monday after Thanksgiving, so I hope that we will get to play!

Peace n love,

[jay7]

I just spoke to Juho, for about, 20 seconds. He told me he was drunk.

So dreamy.


On another, less serious matter.. I've been working on footbag. Turns out, my legs and back aren't strong enough yet to handle quantum / furious. Ever since ever, Jorden has said to me "your posture sucks, especially during shuffle", [in a nicer way] but I haven't been able to pinpoint the problem. I now realize, it is because my muscles aren't strong enough to raise my knee's properly, and keep my back posture nice and straight. Since typically, you can get away with this lack-of-strength by hunching, I have...But with Furious especially, hunching really doesn't work. For this to make sense, you might need some tools first, such as lotion, a ten pound weight, and an old towel. Find Anssi's "genesis" drill on youtube, and observe his posture. Straight as a board. Mine isn't that, and it needs to change.

Grumble.

[Iron Clad Ben]

Dude. Strength training. Seriously. Dooo it. I used to be able to only play twice a week and got injured all the time. Got really badly injured back in May and started hitting the weights. Especially lower body and core (it releases more testosterone than upper body anyway). Now I can play 4-5+ times a week no problems. You owe it to yourself and your footbag game to get stronger. I'm sure they probably have a gym and weight room at McMaster. Hit that up dude and don't worry about all the hair-gelled-roided-up "brahs" grunting on the bench press. Just do your own thing and work on legs and core.

BTW your Johnny Suderman video is off the freakin' chain.

[jay7]

Well, I had a session with none other than The Larni, Christoph Landorfer. It was a 3 hour 2 man session, but for some reason, it took WAY more out of me than my typical 2 hour solo sessions. I think trying to do, runs, was part of that...And pushing some more limits.

Some stuff I was happy with.

6 blurriests, first try.
3 paradox blenders b2b, both sides.
Blender->paradox blender*rpt first try.
torque->p torque*rpt first try.
Xanabox first try.
dimwalk->mantis*rpt.
Spinning clipper->spinning butterfly->spinning whirl->spinning osis*rpt. I didn't think that would actually be hard, when Larni challenged it, but it took quite a few seals of spinning whirl->spinning osis*rpt before I could actually get it. *shrugs*
A run with four torquescrews (2/side), and later I hit a super clean mobius-screw. I should have put more than 2 attempts on the other side, it bothers me that I didn't hit it now...
Janiwalker b2b bsos.
Bling blang bs (new)
Whirlwalk first try, one side. 5th try the other side. The words out of my mouth, to Larni, were "I would be SO ecstatic if I could get THIS close to whirlwalk", as I haven't tried it more than, 3 times in my career, at least a year ago, and I got it first try. That was cool.
Torque->whirling far butterfly first try, and 4th try the other side.
Flip whirling illusion, 4 / 4 attempts.
Delusion felt, really, easy overall today.

I think the biggest accomplishment today though was, my Quantum practice paid off. Blubberman was easy, other variants on rubberman were easy, and...Consistent.. Felt poetic. Like, even things like wonton mirage were first try and no misses.

Something that did bother me however, was that my months of not trying symposium eggbeater...Caught up to me. It took me multiple tries before I could get my one side padarox symp egg to actually catch the eggbeater, instead of over dex it.. Tisk tisk. Ugh, on this note, there are many things I've now noticed that I wasn't up to par with. Like, I did a good fairy run for a friend with about 12 contacts fairy in a row->run, quantum was great..But like, I didn't do many DLOs, no flails (aside from flailing set), no grifters, no fluxes,. It is hard to keep all the concepts on demand, like Jorden has. I mean, I did ps whirl b2b both sides, and both whirlwinds within a few tries which was nice I guess, but they should be first try...With ease. With time I guess, but, the only way that "with time" will work is if I keep on schooling.

Jorden is so fucking good. Like, I felt happy hitting some new whirling stuff today, and then I say "Lets try gyro whirling"... Do you know how hard that is to make not look completely flamboyant? He makes it look like a Polar bear ripping apart a fishing shed, while I made my attempts look like a feeble ostrich watching the twilight movie. Grundle bunnies.

It was funny today, as well. The typical comments Larni and I were making were as follows... : "Why can't I do this with Johnny style? (failed atomic ducking attempt)" or "Johnny would just do it this way (pixie muted swirl)" etc. I'm kind of happy that people have enjoyed him on video so far,.. He deserves every bit of it. He's literally the coolest cat of them all.

Oh, I meant to comment on the few guest posts above.

Dear Asmus: Since you've said sunil->jani*rpt, it was been my main goal. I haven't thought about that drill in over a year, when it was impossible for me, but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with it. Thanks for the inspiration, it WILL be hit.

Dear Will Digges: As for Rochester, I'm not sure if it is going to work out, because you'll be out of Town for thanksgiving when my only free weekend is. rpt. And, yeah, I didn't mean to comment on you + Ps whirls like that, I was simply changing the subject, as my mind said "Shit, Will Digges is badass with a footbag". But I guess if my comment came across to you as, a compliment of sorts, then that works too

Dear Benulis: You raise a good point. I should get stronger, I'm sure it would help my footbag game in the long run. I looked up some lower back ? core exercises this morning, and I plan to, at the bare minimum do them while I stretch for footbag. Oh, and I saw your one shot - DAMN! It looks like that exercise has really paid off. Long run, and for some reason, your osis looked "strong". Good job.

[jay7]

Sunil->Jani*rpt is becoming much more of a reality. First try yesterday, I got each trick bsos, first try. That was new, but, I assume by the amount of effort was definitely within grasp days ago. Today, I played with Jorden, Johnny and Adam at a fellow named Liam's house, and hit a bunch of Janiwalkers, and all of the sets were between knee and waist height, rising plenty after the last dex. I hit jani->sunil bs, ugh, so close I can taste it. And by so close, I think June.

Like, shit. I had each link of blurry whirl->stepping ss whirl*rpt drill since, 1 year ago probably? It took me until about June this year before I could actually hit it the drill with any amount of pizam. Maybe this drill will come easier however, I do hope so.

I'm really not satisfied with where I am in footbag at the moment. I watch Johnny's first string of the day, and it is badass, guiltless, to pimp, and already cool quantum tricks flails and steps within the first string. I watch Jorden's first string of the day, where he does about 30 different kicks, flying stalls and weird shit, all of which I can't hit...Consistently at all. Then the bag goes to me, and I want to do about one minute of toe stalls, another 5 of pure ATW / Mirage / legover / Illusion drills, about 100 clippers, spinning clipper*20, 30 ripwalks, and go through my typical warmup.. But like, if I don't go through that warmup I'm completely useless. I guess they've both been playing about three times as long as me, but crikey, where are the huge matinees when you need them?

So, while they kicked, I scurried off into another room and did my warm up. 20 minutes later, came back, entered the session, but they were well within badassery ranges, and I was right at the point where I'd do like...Pdx mirage->smear. I guess the point of this is that, I should be able to string. Every string I attempted today, was a robotic, disgrace to the word freestyle, especially considering JOHNNY and JORDEN were the other players in my circle. Like, if it was, say, Norek and Anssi, I'm sure I'd have a grand old time hitting those blubbermen, but, with Jorden hitting every concept and inventing 3 moves in the average string, and Johnny hitting non symple reverse swirl->symp whirling swirls, with a mask like "zoro" on, how do you compete with that? Like, I think I hit ~20->30 spinning osis*b2b, and like, how lame is that?

It just also feels, like, drilling is what I need to do. If I don't drill, millions of concepts to death, how do you command them under pressure? I guess, this will all compile itself into less of an absurd mess when I'm in year 6 of playing, rather than year 3. But anyway, on to some highlights. I'm always confused, when I should say highlight, or new stuff. Because, 99% of my highlights are "new". Whatever.

Stepping ss symp whirl bsos
Fairy ss symp mirage, stepping ss symple butterfly, atomic ss symp mirage, bsos.
Stepping ss symp double down bs.
Ps whirl->Whirlwind bs, first try for both.
Ducking pdx blender, first try flip.
Delusion bsos, second try? Where Jorden later commented "Was within the top 3 best delusions I've seen". I think when I'm 90, I'll cry to a nurse beside me, giving me the sponge bath about how that made me feel.
Footed triple pickup. Gnarl.

And a slight drum roll for this one, dedicated to the Accelerator,

Flurricane bs. Apparently my first one was confirmed clean as a whistle, but no one saw me seal flipside aside from some drunk guy, who said it was cool. It was probably clean, but again, for my first flip flurricane, I wouldn't be too ashamed if I found out it was toe-y on high speed camera. I overdexed the legover soo many times, so I know at least 50% of the attempts had swooping badass barrages, which was nice.

Fuck yeah Anssi.

i should have done this for a long time. good memories?


i love reading your blog. you're getting so good. have fun in finland.

[jay7]

Dear Footbag: Sorry for loving you a little too hard. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger right?

So yeah, today I kicked, and made a bag. Upon first kicks, just after birth, the bag seemed great, upon first stalls a few hours later, I realized why I hate playing with my own bags. Maybe the bag filler does just suck, maybe it's not just broken in, maybe it is a negatively charged placebo, I couldn't quite put my finger on it...More likely a gathering of all those things together, but either way, I just can't play with my own bags. Brrr,

Dear 3 beloved comment makers. Thank you! All three of your comments, made me feel far better than if they were not posted.

Specially for Matthias, that song does bring back good memories! For those, who didn't read my long winded 2 year footbag post (I should probably re-read that,..) Matthias was the ground manufacturer of my footbag life. For half a year or more, we played 1->2 times a week, and I learned everything from him. There are multiple sessions, the first time I learned what a ps whirl actually was, and upon trying the footwork nearly killed myself, learning what a magic hop was, learning how torque, actually worked... Matthias assisted me in my career most, second only to Johnny probably. I've listened to the song you posted alone, perhaps 20 times..I don't even remember the song, just the atmosphere that probably went with it...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... d+update+3#

So, yeah. Today I had Jorden legs, for the first time ever I think. I will write briefly, some reasons that may have went into this..

1.) While standing in front of my mirror, trying to figure out why my blenders on both sides felt different, I realized, with a very large and animated breathing in sound, as if I just emerged from cold water, "I'm at minimum, 60% calf-upgrade levels!". It has been my dream, to unlock calves that Vasek, Jorden and Dave have gotten. Just those brutally powerful chunks of mass, just willing to dex. Anyway, yeah, I'm just about at half mass for those.

2.) I messaged Lon Smith like, 2 weeks ago, and he messaged me back! What a king. There were 58 words on his part of the deal, every one of them meaningful.

3.) I spoke to Tina for like, 8 whole minutes! About nothing special, but I re-watched the random "green" video of her on youtube, and the words of "I don't play to become world champion, it is nice that it happened, but that isn't the reason I play" (very loosely quoted) was neat. I can't say that changed everything about me, it did rather the opposite, and for some reason fueled me into wanting to become really good.

4.) I watched Marcin Bujko's pdx blender, during his new routine dozens of times, trying to figure out if I could make mine look like that. On one of Jorden's beginner tips in that sticky post, it said "16. Don't play through pain. It won't help anything. Rest days are just as important as shred days. Wait till you feel refreshed again and then bust huge. If the pain reappears, try fixing your form. ".

Well, yeah, the pain reappeared. After a few weeks of spinning, ducking, blurry, symple, and double blenders I realized I had to go back to square one. Instead of hoping the pain would, just, disappear, I think I took the right step in saying "Ok, do 50 contacts of infinity->flip blender*rpt, both sides, in this EXACT form". So, after a bunch of that, I tried Marcin Bujko style pdx blenders, 4 tries / side, and it felt majestic today. I congratulated myself by saying "Now hit flip spinning motion", and I did first try. That has been, a weird trick for me...I didn't hit it until, 4 days ago. I hit blurry motion 2 years ago....

4.) Competition in general. I feel like, the next event I go to will be a very large personal letdown, if my level of shred isn't decent. Let me tell you...Ugh. Finland, is inevitably going to be a letdown. I'm giddy about this like a 7 year old girl thinking about her wedding. Here are some words that were exchanged between Anssi and I, just yesterday.

Jay: So, should I buy groceries when I get there? I don't want to disrupt how your family normally works.

Anssi: No.

Anssi: We will only eat on kebab.

Anssi: We will swim, in kebab.

Anssi: We will feast on the meat.

I mean, with verbal transactions such as this, how does one NOT dream about Finland? I'm so god damned hungry. But yeah, I quickly thought about Vegas jam today, and hesitated to go...Because like, I feel like I'll be as I was last year, and play on a level that just, burns my brain. I can't stand going to jam's and sucking, but it pretty much always happens. Love hate?

Anyway, yeah...Time to write what I hit today, I guess..

-Pdx egg->Toe inspinning clipper*7 contacts.
-Swirl*15 bs.
-Spinning rake->toe inspinning clipper->spinning osis->inspinning osis bs.

On that note....

I thought in the elevator on the way to kicking, "I've studied, and tried copying just about every good players way of playing...But Bevier. So I tried that combo. Damn he's good.

-Blender->spinning clipper*20 contacts, making sure I saw the bag on "the other side" when finishing the osis. Nick doesn't do it that way, but, I feel like it makes sure that my stalls are good enough.
-Toe kick->sole kick*5 bs, same foot....So, muted.
-pixie symple inside kick->ss legover->pixie symple inside kick->opp legover*rpt.
-Symple inside kick->opp symple inside kick*6, (I can't do flyers, so heres the start)
-Ianek's first trick, in his Christmas video, the, odd, turn and "oh, hi there bag, I see that you found your way onto my foot" stall. bs
-New trick, Symp rev whirling swirl bs (Double helix?), bs.
-Symp rev whirling swirl->reverse swirling blender, bs. Hence, "Jorden legs".
-Reverse swirling blender->torque bsos.

And, a possible invention. bs.

"Stepping ingyro twirl", but I'm not sure if that is immediately sensible.. If it were executed extremely poorly, it'd be the exact same as a stepping far reverse whirl, with a head twitch in the middle, except, I did it so that I could see the twirl happen cleanly, and I rotated a great amount on the first stepping set for it. I know it is possible symp, but I haven't tried it yet..

-Inspinning butterfly+inspinning clipper bsos. Inspinning butterfly, is THE most fun trick to bail on, and miss completely. Because like, you go for the butterfly, but the bag is not even NEAR where the dex should happen, and it turns out looking terrible.

[Asmus]

Diggin' the creativity and you know it!!

Try quantum out of symple inside kick, that would be cool.
Also film the invention.

I wish I was going to Finland as well!

[jay7]

Played with Larni yesterday, which consisted of glow bag shred, which resulted in big tricks, and little links..Strings = well, harder.. I hit some ok things, like pixie dolomite swirl, nemesis, montage, flurricane (first try ), quantum whirls, nuclear ss drifter, 69, and a couple good shots at atom bomb..

Anyway, that got me in the massive "Ugh, I suck at everything in footbag, I can't string for the life of me mood". That mood is the worst, so, when I played with Johnny today it was light hearted. We walked to the spot, chatted, did light shred and stringed, infinities galore, an it was fantastic. Best session I've had in a while. Not too long 1.5 hours, got up and left, Chatted some more on the walk back, and done.

I got blurry drifter->ripped warrior bsos (last one hit my neck, but whatever), jani->ps whirl on command, barfly->barrage->paradon->double pickup->double over down bsos, some symp eggs, some nukes, some flurries, showed Johnny the weird twirl trick,...Couple drifters...Quantums,

Just like, a simple, awesome session.

I wish I could have ended it with a Kebab, in Berlin worlds 2009, so I could have enjoyed footbag bliss a little longer.

Lets see if I can turn this momentum Finland's way. I think I can do it.

[Johnny]

Best session I've had in a while.

+1

I have a present for you next time I see you. At least I *think* it will be ready in time. Be excited.
