So, blog, how are you doing today?
How are the kids?
Oh really? That is great to hear, I always knew Timmy would outgrow his guinea pig. What about the weather around your parts?
Oh wow. That is terrible. I wish the mole people good luck.
EXCUSE ME?
...
Anyway. That 'whipping" business people were talking about, that was one of my earlier attempts at the symp quantum whipping, which can turn more into a symp phasing, if you time it wrong. I actually can't tell if that video was my sealed symp quantum whipping, because of the randomness of it, but who knows. In my head, the timing seems much, cooler than that video shows. Thanks Ken for that.
Now that the room has been re-drywalled, I just found out that my shred room in my basement has much the same flooring type as Anssi's shed. It is the vinyl type flooring, that is cracked in a few players to reveal the concrete subfloor. Right now I'm listening to the online stream of "radio rock", from Turku, and I plan on living that up. At the moment, I've been playing at school, which makes it hard to play everyday depending on schedules. When I do play, I am making it the 3 hour session of absolute exhaustion and glory, which feels good. Doing the "Hey, I'm laying on the floor panting" and then doing the 'Just ten more drills", and then the "Ok, 10 more" after that, feels good afterward.
I feel like I might get good doing this training program I have at the moment. It comprises a lot of the elements I could also "do", but never master for say, a routine. Woot woot.
highlight of the day...Hmm.. Probably doing far eggbeater->dimwalk->side eggbeater->dimwalk*rpt to 30 contacts. My that drill was sketchy when I first began doing it at the beginning of the session. yay relearning clipper? I almost had twist up->near twirl*rpt today too, which is pretty quirky.
So yeah, since the room is the size of the shed, sub all of the desks / tools Anssi has in it, I hope to become awesome within that room. Makes videos in it, and like, have people say "That is the room Jay plays in" when they see my videos, much like the former "johnny green room" from when he was all inspired to make videos two years ago.
I wonder if I should try furious ducking.
Jorden Moir comes back from Copenhagen in a few days, and I think that will slightly mark a new era in our shred game. If it continues at all like the month before he left, we'll both get good at footbag. Well, he'll get better, and I'll get good. Playing with Jorden multiple days of the week is just insane to think of, for his potential.

Recently, due to a few irregular motivations, I have decided to more or less forgo the consistency idea for long runs, and just drill single tricks. Things like mobius, blurry drifter, and some double dex type tricks mostly. Some of the things I'd like to be able to, without a doubt, do in a routine, for example. The difference between hitting a trick 10/10 times, and doing it in a routine, for me is surprisingly staggering.
So yeah, training with the idea of "I need to get good at -these- elements, and these elements of my game only" with vigor and piss in your veins is nice. Just the "if I don't hit x amount of blurry drifter->ripwalk*rpts I'll smack a cheese bagel on the floor" attitude, is kind of nice once in a while. Because once you hit all those cheese bagel blurry drifters, you can feel nice about the fact that you are neglecting, say, double downs.
Oh neglect, you sloppy drunk you. I think that is one of the largest issues with my game, is the inevitable fact that you can't really get better overall, you have to just creep along getting really good at one thing, letting it slide a bit, and then going for something else.
Thankfully, when some random guys at the gym ask me to do something cool I like popping out a ps whirl or two, and knowing I can at least still do them.
But yeah, inventing tricks / learning rare ones is fun. Over the last week, I think I've done at least 10 different ones, including a few new sets. I just video-recorded one new one tonight, not quite as pronounced as I'd like, but hey a toe->toe four dex invention might not have the first of three uptime dexes quite as deep as wanted. I've had a couple good looks at five dexes, which, would be obbbsceeenely hard to get all clean. Thankfully, at the attempts I've looked at, it isn't always one dex that is 'the', usually just one somewhere in the middle
I feel like adding another switch on the trick I got tonight would be certainly possible for a very legit five dex. Wouldn't it be cool to invent a 41 add trick one day, with no xdex.
Sauna life is a good life. I uploaded a few pictures of it on facebook, and the finns seemed to appreciate it, which is nice. Here is a shot of it, with my calf.
Building a sauna was totally worth it. I mean, it was either that, or move to Finland and say good bye to two years education tuition.
I realized today that open near double down is kind of hard. So, I got open near double down->stepping near mirage*rpt, which took some cleavering. By cleavering, I mean, just imagine him stepping out of that trick, and making yourself do it. Unlike, parkwalk, or whatever open near down is, for this I found I had to hop during the open set a wee little bit in order to really get the strong clipper position to step out of. My calves liked this drill, since they were sore from a lot of triple dexes yesterday, and I just felt like a monster pushing through the double downs.
I'd like to hit my first 8 add soon. That is a milestone, that I feel annoyed at that I can't hit. Originally my plan was to just get good at a downtime 5 add, and toss something in front of it, but now I see some potential with just a few more mirages and a few more flails just to get all the adds in there. I suppose this is making Anssi cry, but, I'd still like to say I've hit an 8 add before the system just really takes a shit in the corner.
I hope to have a nice video of myself before Christmas. I haven't had any real hd footage of me since like, last-last april when Flavio had that video made of me. Something that'd be worth putting on fourkast would be nice.
Oh... General inquiry for anyone who feels like answering it. Would anyone be interested in paying a little too much for a tshirt? I have some random ideas, but in such limited quantities, I imagine the shirts would cost a wee bit too much. All the drawing would be sort of that "vector" style, like on http://theoatmeal.com/
Shirt idea #1.) Juho + unicorn on a shirt, somehow.
2.) A shirt that has two rocks and one bird, with text "Johnny Suderman can kill two rocks with one bird", or something to that effect.
3.) A shirt with Tom Mosher, or Anssi Sundberg's face just right at the side, near the hip.
Anssi would be wearing aviators, or Mosher with a blue jay's hat.
4.) A giant footbag, so, a panel being about 30 cm x 30 cm, just covering the front panel of the shirt. White shirt, black outline, or something. So, from 5 meters away you could tell it was a footbag, but up close it'd just be some lines.
5.) Think the "hackrifice '-05" shirt, the bloody one Macro wears, except a little different. It'd be more like a calvin / hobbes rain style drawing
(last panel) with two or three footbags, and a little fluid underneath them or something, and lit as if they were under a street light.
I have more ideas, but whatever, just an interest to see if anyone wouldn't mind spending $20+ on a shirt or something with me.
Enjoy kicking fellows.

So, this apparently held true. Don't let the bed bugs bite?Jorden Moir comes back from Copenhagen in a few days, and I think that will slightly mark a new era in our shred game. If it continues at all like the month before he left, we'll both get good at footbag. Well, he'll get better, and I'll get good. Playing with Jorden multiple days of the week is just insane to think of, for his potential.
Anyway, as advertised it'd be nice if some of you party people would check out a certain thread come the Midnight before Halloween day.
AS for Chicago, Matthieu, don't count on it
... Those dates unfortunately conflict with my exams, as I am sure will happen to everyone else, and I wont make it.As for Sauna cost Dante, it would be multiple thousand dollars. If you're actually serious, I can price things out over Email / PM.
Fortunately, I've got tickets booked to Finland for this Christmas season, and will be repeating the trip that was everything but erotic from last year. What up, Ali Baba Kebaberi, "shit" is going to get "real".
My game kind of sucks at the moment. Due to the last month's shred routines, my consistency is shit, form is terrible, and I've really fallen out of the footbag scene. The yester-session I did ONE trick for 2 hours, which was flip blur. My left clipper somehow took a shit a few months ago, and apparently ignoring it did not make it go away. So, again, two hours of my life spent trying to get 100 perfect blurs in a row. Didn't happen.
Today, I just did a lot of form addressing issues. So, holding a clipper with the biggest crank angle I could muster, and stretching as high as I could. Watching footage of me is gross, most of the time, so, posture might as well get corrected if I'm going to be sucking the hind tit for a few weeks. I also did things like ss whirl *25 a few times, making sure the clipper never hit the ground, and actually felt pretty ok. I am still trying to figure out the spark for this shittery that is my left clipper, since, for 3 years prior I had no flipside, and it actually feels like I lost a shin muscle. I did the Vasek book 500 clippers, except I allowed ss repeats, and my right leg felt like a mule pulling through on slavery, but my left leg, specific shin muscle, felt like little Jimmy who died and was left for the emus. So, yeah. I suppose that expecting just a form analysis, and change, isn't going to happen. Which makes sense, because for the last months I felt frustrated and not getting anywhere. So, I guess yeah, strength training? But if I play everyday, how the fuck do I lose that muscle in the first place? Just laziness? That would explain why I didn't notice one day losing yee old clipper.
Fuck.
Oh, new trick of the week, twisting symp whirl..Those feel relatively pimpy. I thought about tossing the swirl that was suggested in the "inventions" thread, but then remembered "Oh wait, I'm trying to figure out how to do a proper clipper delay..Why the epidermis am I trying to invent things?"
SUOOOOOOMIIIIIIII

Ha, thanks for the replies guys, disguise, comprise, buys, dies, pies..cake. AS for that week in the summer, it really all depends on work. If I make Saunas, it is much more possible to do footbag related things... If I work fixing cars / engineering stuff, then the answer is pretty much no.
Lets hear it for Sauna building.
Gotten back into more of a normal regime. The sole focus of the game for me at the moment is to fix yee old clipper, but after a session with Jorden today, I see that I have made a lot of progress. There were 'instances' of my clipper being a pirate hooker, but in general it did what I want. Then again, I avoided things like stepping near whirl, which is the largest culprit of ground hittery. However, stepping far business was back,
And oh-baby-justice, I need to buy some government issued war bonds. It just felt so liberating to not think, and then realize "wait, I just pumped out stepping tricks without screwing the pooch, or even thinking of moralizing a puppy". It also felt really good to realize that I can still string, since, after a month of tossing single tricks, I felt quite shakey my first strings back.
Here is hoping that I can look better than I did at last year's NYJ video from TUUKKA... I'll certainly try for it, playing everyday is now a reality again, since, your legs don't feel like dried up peaches after a 3 hour invention session every few days. Speaking of which, if I didn't get at least a 3% calf upgrade in the last month, I'll be pissed. So much twitch type movement, symposium, and just body-twisting in general, it'd be nice to compare say, measurements, and see that there was indeed an upgrade. Megaman x2 style. One thing that I do notice about my strings now, is after kicking with Jorden for a month, it seems to me that I'm outright trying more ball-sy stuff in strings these days. If after five contacts I haven't done anything eye-candy worthy, I sort of feel like I'm doing something wrong. It would be special, in my mind, to be one of those players that is like Jorden... Not necessarily the most dense, but kind of mesmerizing to watch simply because of variety. Even still, I'm noticing I can get quirky with density these days. To get full mastery, like, Jorden 2007 worlds comprised of huge links, fearless, massive tricks, wtf tricks, etc, would be an ultimate goal to attempt to surpass. Who knows, maybe I should start thinking cocky and assume I can beat that goal...I'm sure Milan got to where he did by breathing pimp, and pissing vinegar. What a fucking champ.
I need a tournament / jam / something soon. School is tearing apart at my travel needs.

I went to my school gym last night, and found a room that reminds me 100% of the "late nite shred" video by Jere, with the banana. Same layout, roof, etc. This I believe will be my new shred spot, as it is tucked away high up in the facility, and I doubt people linger around there. Plus, it is high enough up, and removed enough, that shirtless play is totally possible with no viewers. Having one less 100% soaken shirt to take home everyday would be nice.
Speaking of which, I want one of Tom Mosher's bags for my birthday/Christmas. They look cool, and giving Tom money would be excellent. I encourage any of you to check them out, as he gets good deals on shipping because of his messenger hook-ups. Just walking around with a custom backpack...I don't know, I guess I didn't know I had an inner hipster? Damn. Whatever, it's for the kids.
I think that the highlight of my month, was seeing Matt Cross watch Badassery. Just synching up my video on my screen, muted audio, and then hearing and seeing him react to what was on screen... It was just awesome. Making a 2month project happen was scary, because there was always the great possibility that it'd fall on it's face..But after seeing Matt's eyes light up like a school girl on Valentines, I knew something had been done right.
So, I took that feeling to the gym with me. And for the first time, in say, 6 months, I saw a potential in me that I previously hadn't. Jorden has told me for quite a while that I am far away from my potential yet, but just this flip clipper thing, really took me back and made me feel like "What if I never get over this?"... Anyway, only but for furious now, is my clipper a gimp. Yesterday I warmed up, and my clipper felt like the tamed bull it should, and I spun, stepped and grunted with ease. SO much so infact, that I had one of my best sessions ever, in terms of everything feeling like I was a newborn hercules. Like, the "oh, I should hit this" and bang, a drill had been done, or a "Ooh, this combo would be cool", etc, just everything felt cool.
Now that badassery is done, I suppose I'll begin writing highlights in yee old blog again.
1.) Shut far down->swirling osis->whirling far switch*rpt
2.) Blender->spinning whirl->wait whirl->blender*rpts.
3.) Far blender->gyro blender->ripwalk->far blender-gyro blender.
4.) A massive barrage, lon style, run. After I finished the second spinning far barrage, I just grabbed the bag, and felt "like a G", and verbally admitted so. It had each toe, near and far, gyro, and spinning barrages bsos, intertwined between lazy osis, spins, and lon style trickery. It felt like, hmm... Not like it was my bitch, but like, we had been going out steady for 6 months and I was feeling really comfortable about things. Probably getting laid that night type of deal.
5.) Mobius->Whirling far mirage bs first try.
6.) Symp torques bsos.
7.) Reunited with bedwetter. Did a lot of spinning whirl->bedwetters on one side, just to get the combo to feel saucy, and then when I went to flipside (i.e. the bad stepping) it happened first try, and it was so confident I decided I'd leave it at that.
8.) Some strings with quick whirl->whirl->wait whirl, just thrown in to get control. Just messing with timing makes it seem like a joke.
9.) Beginning to see gyro blender->spender*rpt as possible. Who has done that?
10.) Something that just came to me mid run, which I later drilled, flurry->very relaxed shut near clipper->whirling near switch. Felt kinda Jorden-y.
11.) Gyro whirling set near rake. Talk about ant-iclimatic.
12.) A good 30 minutes put toward swirl->late toe, whatever that trick is. So, far, near, symple, etc. What a weird concept.
Lets hope this style of me carries into Finlandland.

*sniffle*
These dear Gunits, I've loved them so much. They started out being bought from papa Cleaver Clavens, at NYJ 2008... They made it through to worlds 2009 with ease, and then stumble their way into Finland for 2009 NYJ... And then all the way to worlds 2010 with flair... They became the dagger shoes, where the toe is so thin it just feels like you are slicing through the air. Ugh, I just put my feet into them and they know what to do, it fits all the nooks and crannies... I'm nearly emotional, remembering all the places I've been in them.
Here, however, is Jay 3.0... Assuming these last as long as the former black Gunits, two worlds should see these babies, and I *hope* that some of my career highlights are paved through with them on my feet. Potential...
I already miss my old shoes, and I haven't even had the terrible few weeks of getting used to new shoes.

They made it through to worlds 2009 with ease, and then stumble their way into Finland for 2009 NYJ... And then all the way to worlds 2010 with flair... They became the dagger shoes, where the toe is so thin it just feels like you are slicing through the air. Ugh, I just put my feet into them and they know what to do, it fits all the nooks and crannies... I'm nearly emotional, remembering all the places I've been in them.
Here, however, is Jay 3.0... Assuming these last as long as the former black Gunits, two worlds should see these babies, and I *hope* that some of my career highlights are paved through with them on my feet. Potential...

I'm pretty sure I was right.
I watched Badassery with Ben two nights ago. It was great seeing that again.
We loved it. Our favorite part was the shred. I hope that's not disappointing to you, but we're all about the flow these days.
I think, deep down, everyone is, although I appreciate what I feel the point of the video is, that being "to open people's minds to new concepts and remind them that the book of freestyle is VERY far from written", a point that it clearly succeeded in making. It was a real privilege to watch it "with" you.
Keep pushing. It's awesome, seeing how far you have come and still not knowing how far you'll go. The footbag community is really lucky to have someone with true, intense passion like yours.
I hit 4 5s the other day, footed 5. It's silly to think that I never got that before.
BRICK!

As for personal blogging from this...Meh, I guess. I was trying other stuff I didn't want on camera all day. The only cool thing that I didn't capture was open symp double down bsos from myself. Just remembered that toe symp existed as of this session.
