Had a one hour shred today
I felt good, hit some good stuff, but stopped early because I wanted to see superskills nhl allstar. havent seen one of those for so long.

http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/10887

Basicly I only used moves I feel confortable with, and schooled a lot flip gyro stuff and managed to hit things out of that more consistently. Flip dlo felt great as well.

I hit a challenge Seb gave me to finish the session too, that was a good thing.

good sess even tough I didnt hit anything good
flip dlo is feeling better even tough I drop it a lot
footed smoke a bunch of times both sides
footed pdx drifter a bunch of times (only working one side), I've hit the move before but sloppy, now using a correct technique

footed phoenix>mob again, but uncontrolled, I want to add PS Whirl for first 5>5>5

was fun playing with 2 players I have not seen for a long time!

pdx drifter on one side, I'll try other side tonight
finally ducked fairy, fairy ducking clip
still trying to flip fairy correctly, can only manage fairy ss osis and fairy ss mirage...
I need to get good at toe drifter so I can hit smoke, the set is decent, I just do my drifters too big, and it lands most of the time on my foot, a tight dex would fix the problem.

PS Whirl is now getting there, I foot it on most attempts, Also gave mullet a serious try and it was close, I'll try that again tonight.

Thanks Tom


Today :
Phoenix>PS Whirl
a lot of torques, some work on DLO's, trying to get them super constant (especially doing sets out of dlo)
Tomahawk (pretty sure it was clean, I do the dex more fast then a pdx whirl)
legbeater (hippy set!)
a string starting with about 25 contacts of weaving/zulu/duck/diving clippers
footed mullet, didn't try it too much, but looks out of reach

I liked the vid.

Like Tom said your run length is looking really good. And your gyro mirages are money.

some stuff today, started session by working on barfly, torque and drifters
Hit many barflys today, some midstring, I never try the move when I play, I should try it more and get constant with it
Torque>pdx whirl, been wanting to hit this for a while and finally did, really deep torque and whirl too :)

smoke both sides
footed flip pdx drifter, tried it a few times tough.

footed some mullets as well, dex looks good

pixie zulu buterfly

and some good strings in the first 2 hours, after that it was more just messing with tricks I'm not constant with

managed dlo>pixie ducking cliper midstring and also a tomahawk midstring

My game didn't feel good at all today, not many big strings, tried a lot of combos and most had no sucess.
I did however managed to do some stuff which may not sound big, but I think is good

Gyro legover>pixie something both sides
many combos with toe drifter
a deep legbeater
the few eggbeaters I attempted where all hit and felt really easy
pheonix>spin whirl on half the attempts, couldn't add the mobius for 5>5>5 .. mob out of spin whirl is harder then I tought..


footed more mullets
footed flip pdx drifter .. only tried 2-3 times tought
worked a bit flip torque, will work on that tomorrow again as well as flip barfly

flip pdx drifter
many flip pdx whirls, pdx whirl>pdx whirl starting from either sides
steping ss whirl
almost bsos pdx drifter
legbeater and tap midstring

:arrow: gyro diving clipper>gyro diving clipper

that's about it, forgot to work on a lot of stuff, but it's best to concentrate on little stuff and improve it then doing a lot and not improving I guess.

a huge session tonight..
not from be tough, but there was 8 players!!! I think this is the most people ever in a winter session in over a year or two in montreal.

I played like total crap. I can only think of one highlight that took me a lot of tries at the end of the session
pdx whirl>pdx drifter

other then that I had shitty string after shitty string. Only good side is that flip DLO is getting constant, almost as good as strong, dlo>pixie trick midstring is not hard at all, in fact I try to pixie out of all the DLO's I hit to really master them.

I was so angry the whole session, I ended up leaving the room, telling myself how it didn't mather, came back, skipped a turn, and shut my mouth for the rest of the session.. I need to remember this and stop acting so negative when I play so bad.

solo sess, worked on moves only no string whatsoever except if I was trying to hit a move as much as possible in a string
whirl>pdx whirl>rpt
Parkwalk>dlo>rpt>parkwalk
A string with 3 DLO's of each side
pdx dlo>dimwalk, felt easy and controlled
downtime paradon

45 minutes of drifters
20 minutes of pdx whirls (flip mostly)
20 minutes of torques
20 minutes of DLO's
10 minutes of double downs

Hit some motions, god damn this move is so easy, I just don't set correctly, but with a good set, ridiculous..
Gave motion sickness some tries, can't set correctly, but footed it couple of times

finished session on a deep scorpions tail

finished my week session rally, 6 sessions in 7 days, skied on the day I didn't shred.

Not much to highlight from today, neither yesterday. Footed many down double downs, footed a flip barfly, but that was one in a hundred..
Worked a lot on flip whirl motion to do it correctly, had some really good ones today
barfly>ripwalk
ingyro mirage, pretty easy move, can hit it 1 time out of 3, but never worked on it, some work will defenetly make this an easy trick.

other then that I'm happy of some of the progress I made this week, I can't wait to play at 100% again, my legs feel like total shit after this week, never had a chance to regain.

a small sess today, well yesterday...
I was still tired and waking up from work, but still managed some stuff with bad style
http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/11083
first down double down and dimmiest in there

flip whirl felt good for a short moment and quckly reverted to sucky and incorrect again

I suck at illusion tricks.

I've been playing really bad lately, the easiest combos seem very hard, I can't hit a 10 contact string... Feels bad.

I am improving components tough, so there is some light.

Pdx drifter bsos today

Trying to hit new combos with drifters, I'm tired of bailing to osis after every drifter trick....
I loved hitting toe drifter>rev swirl

I should step out of whirl more often, pretty easy.. pdx whirl is still so hard to step out of tough...

I hit an ok sick 3 and a nice sick one today for the modified comp

I need to chek the sick 1 hoping its clean.. but I`m happy hitting it, and hit it many times today

I wanted to hit motion sickness but no luck, altough I`ve footed it a bunch

flip gyro is improving, I hit some flip gyro dlo and vortex today, I think I had 3 flip vortex attempts hit in a row as well.

Couldn`t bsos gyro dlo, but I footed the strong one again while trying to bsos it... feels bad but oh well

bah my sick 1 wasn't clean after cheking it's thin and not worthy of online comps..
it was rev swirling symp whirl, but foot dex on whirl :(

Today I had some good stuff happening, toe set ss rev swirl (not symple)
then I hit some variations of it like fairy ss rev swirl

Hit flip barfly for the first time

I'm trying something I'm pretty sure no one as ever hit, it's pretty original and hard, hoping I can hit it soon and show off :D

oh yeah.. footed motion sickness a bunch of times, was playing with Marc and he tought they looked good, it's great to hear such compliments..

hit some new tricks today
footed gyro diving dyno.. but of course I`ve hit diving dyno easily

worked on spinning zulu a bit, the zulu's feel so good on the spin, but my flip osis prevents me to hit spin zulu osis consistently, I can do the clipper or buterfly version without too many problems, also footed spin zulu mirage

worked on ps whirls a bit too, ps whirl>spin osis, was a while I actually tried to spin out of ps whirl, hit that before but felt good doing it again.

hit a new 6

couldn`t bust too hard besides that, left knee is hurt and I can`t do many moves involving left leg dexes.

some cool combos like : blink> ss rev swirl

if my knee feels like shit all week, I will play anyways, but drill stuff on one side only, like spin zulu, pswhirl,,, stuff I can hit but not consistent for me.

I'll try to hit my 3rd 6 adder this week as well, either spin duck dyno or gyro diving dyno.. I'm pretty sure I can do that easyly.

fairy ducking buterfly
since I started to duck fairy`s my fairy have improved greatly.
PS Whirl is getting more constant, today I've hit plenty of them midstring, same for motions.

My knee still hurts, but it`s getting better. Hard to play with concentration tough, the pain often leads me to drop even tough the bag is right on the sweet spot.
