Bit of a muck around sesh. Hit 9 dyno's, new aussie rec! :roll:

Rubberman has become a struggle lately, don't know why, I just seem to be always chasing the bag, it doesn't feel controlled. Then I remembered what happened when I got my first Peng bag, shuffle became easier instantly! So I busted out my new Peng bag even though it's nowhere near broken in yet (due to my own laziness) and it instantly became easier! Even though it's rolly as heck. Score. Must break in that bag.

Then I hurt my ankle at the end. Friggen hate my ankle. Stop being such a friggen n00b there's nothing wrong with you so stop complaining. And there is no way I'm taking time off to 'let you heal' you whiney peice of crap, just man up and stop being so weak. Geez.

Kickass sesh. Played a bit with my peng bag even though it still isn't broken in... finger rolling it whenever I remember, which is not often enough, it should be shreddable :evil:

Whirr was awesome today.

Whirr > run > midrun whirr
:!: Double Blender
Flipside Whirr twice
Butterfly > Ripwalk > Whirr > Blur > run (tried to get this yesterday but no luck, got it in 3 minutes today :) )

Whirls looking better.

Dynos hard today.

I'm naughty, not supposed to play in my room. Just wanted to try a couple of tricks, but of course it turned into a session... :(



:D

Some more whirrs... some fun strings etc, stuff I don't usually do. Because I didn't set out to have a sesh I just mucked around the whole time, which was fun.

Hit shooting op butterfly, and footed sailing op butterfly (desien?)

It's late and I'm not going to bed. Because I'm an idiot.

edit: oh yeah... sailing rooted toe stall. No, I meant it, really... no I did! Stop looking at me like that. OK, fine, it was a fluke.

(fuckin pigs) but it was the kids fault really... anyway, i stayed out of trouble and hit

osis>torque>rpt
oh wait, i was gonna ask if you could too, but i just remembered its too easy for you :cry: blur>toe whirl rpt as well.
i'll finish your bag some tonight and definitely positively have it sent out by tuesday. maybe PM me your address whenever you want (fuckin NOW! ((ok, i didnt completely stay out of trouble at 'freedom fest' :idea: ))

Yeah, those can be fun, sure include them :P

pete: that's a hard drill for me, my torque's are almost non existant. And I have only hit flipside probably twice, ever ;) I would try it, but the only reason I haven't fixed torque is because my list of things to drill is large enough as it is, I will get to it sometime soon hehe.

Props on toe whirl > blur rpt.

Really hard session! Legs were killing me but pushed through cause I wanted to keep working on whirls, mainly.

Drilled whirl a lot, flip whirl is starting to improve, but still a long way to go.

Hit reactor bsos

Footed the last move in crispy torque > ripwalk > spinning butterfly rpt, bummed.

Other than that anything which required a lot of energy or precision was too difficult today. Might take a day off tomorrow.

Days off are for suckers.

Monday September 18th
Length:
1 hour
Drilled: Whirl, Whirr, BOPs, Illusion.

Whirls looking much much better now. They're still frustrating but little by little I'm starting to feel good about them. It's also nice not getting annoyed when I drop drills, because I'm more concerned with form than drill length right now.

Blurry Whirl > Whirr

Whirr > Stepping Whirl - footed this a number of times, caught it once but only by sheer luck, I wouldn't count it.

Stringing BOPs is annoying right now, I'm nowhere near consistent enough. Got between 40-50 contacts a few times but a lot shorter a lot more. Far/toe set flipside osis kills me, must drill that.

Really productive session.

Are you kidding? I love torques! I just haven't got to them yet... no way torques rule, especially mobius, every footbagger should be able to do mobius in their sleep :!: :P

Props on porque. makes me hungry.

Also I am jealous you are shredding with the c-fan himself... I can't believe I missed him when he came to australia :x

Whirl looking better and better. Hit 5 pdx whirls but my flipside was pretty awkward, I have to concentrate a lot for that. Progression rules.

Sunday 24th September
Length:
2 hours
Drilled: BOPs, Illusion, Tiltless, Whirl, Stepping, Atomic, Blazing, Whirr.

Siiiick session. Really fun, and made some good improvements. Whirls are almost satisfactory :P

BOPs were looking good, although didn't break any records. Just feels good to know my consistency is always getting better with that stuff. Illusions feel pretty tight these days.

Hit toe flux and footed clip flux, woo!

Blazing getting better, my flipside has switched on this, go figure! Hit blazing pdx mirage bs. Cool trick.

Almost bsos'd whirr 3 or 4 times.

rubberman - 9 contacts. Slowly improving :) Felt really tight and controlled too. It often does, and I just don't catch it for some reason, I feel like I could keep going but don't :( gay

Played around with bent knee dexes. This can be done with almost any hippy dex. Instead of dexing with the thigh, bend your knee and pull your foot up to your butt, and dex with your thigh and calf together. Super cool! Especially on sets. Some people wouldn't consider that a dex, but I don't care what name you call it, it doesn't change what it is. And it's as much a dex as toe set reverse whirl so THERE.

Hit: Bent knee ripwalks / sidewalks
legbeater with bent knee atomic
bent knee wauxpin - this is awesome, but very hard.

Also had an idea for bent knee butterfly whirl. Unlike normal butterfly whirl, I believe this can be hit cleanly. You sort of do an S with your ankle... it's hard to explain in text though. I couldn't get it, but it's definately hittable.
