The session started a bit off, but I got into a groove as it progressed. Unfortunately my timing has been off for the last few sessions, wish it wouldn't do that! Still, I am playing a lot more consistant than ever before, just need to play a lil' more often. Juggling is beginning to take up a bit of my time. I want to be good. I'll never be amazing, but good is good enough for me, just like in footbag.
Also, I've decided I also want to do a bit of acrobatics, parkour and breakdancing. I did a bit of parkour with some guys I met before during a solo session, it was pretty cool seeing them again, I asked them to show me some stuff. I already have the upper body strength and good legs from footbag so it's not too difficult for me. At least the starter stuff.
And then I went off to shred, just me and Mathieu. Like I said, it was a decent sesh. There's a breakdance crew that practices right where we are so a lot of times we're right beside each other, shred and break.
Breakdancing is definitely a lot more visually appealing than footbag, especially to the untrained eye. And of course it's damn cool. People go for that a lot more than footbag. At one point it was a group of about 8-10 of them and just me shredding beside them and there were crowds of people everywhere. I was trying to shred my best and put up a fight for my athletic abilities. But handstands are cooler than blurriers and ps whirls. Though I'm pretty sure I impressed enough people. I mean who can resist spinning osis>drifter rpt x10 (I did that specifically for the crowd, and 'pretended' to be dizzy after hehe).
In any case, I'd like to be able to do frontflips, backflips, and some other acrobatic/breakdance stuff. Gonna have to find time for it somehow.
Juggling is really addictive. But it's really funny how you can just not be able to do a pattern or trick in juggling and then all of a sudden it 'clicks'. Definitely not like that in footbag.
The Montreal Jam is coming real soon and my only wish is that I play like I was the last few weeks (right after GRASS). My timing has been just a bit off lately.
Oh I have a correction, I can't do mills mess
Juggling newb.
I'm close to getting the box though, that's a damn cool pattern.
4 ball sync and async are getting pretty easy. I'm still trying to figure out 4 ball half shower. I need to get some clubs, even if it's just to do cascade. And rings whooboy. I heart rings.
Alright I've rambled enough.
One last thing, Marc and I have been shooting some footage for a vid, look out here we come!
peace!
