mathieu, you're getting too good! can't wait to play with you at worlds. Mini net game between me/someone else and you/kolo!

thanks Henry
today was 9th day in a row shredding it up.. well not that hard.
I was exausted from the start and played like crap

only thing I can think of is pdx torque getting better, had a run starting with gyro dyno>torque and ended with perfectly controlled pdx torque> handcatch

Ok so tomorrow = no shred, maybe no shred saturday as well.. I'll think about not playing

yeah i forgot some cool combos I hit yesterday as well, like spin whirl> pdx torque.

Today I played for 2hours and a half, practiced routine and shred30 mostly.
I can hit first half and second half dropless of shred30, not the whole thing tough.. dropless would be close to 195points if I'm correct. But even if I can do most of it wth less then 5 drops on stage I'll be happy. best I did so far is 2 drops. and I've been practicing it for 2 days, still time to get it better.

I was bored tonight, so I went to shred again, worked on spin out of pdx whirl, I figured what was wrong, now I land on the tip of my toe instead of flat foot, fixed the problem.

Worked on atomics as well.

made some highlights of that sess on video, nothing crazy, but I really like the last combo.

terrible session today.
I was due for one, I will probably kick a bit tomorrow, I`ll be at a water park.

After that, I`ll rest till sunday to be in good shape for worlds.

Seriously. This is the worst Monday ever.

It was really fun hanging out with you at worlds. Thanks for the help and the bag loan. See you in Chicago at NYJ.

Love,
Emily

This was the best worlds I attented so far.
I've seen so many of the people I apreciate the most on this planet, and added some more in the process.

I can't wait until next summer in prague, and after just travelling around the world seeing most of the scenes one by one.

Too bad I could'nt say goodbye to so many people, but I will see them again !

hey Mathieu it was nice meeting you, and watching yours and henry's doubles was priceless.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 21 Aug 2007 10:28

Had a sess with quantums
I sucked so bad
I cant do flip clipper for shit, my form is bad, everything about it is bad, I need to re-learn them so I can be better. Flip step is horrible and I`m so ashamed of that.
at the end of the sess I was ok with quantums, but I realised some parts of my game are way to weak and need to be fixed. That clipper penalises me too much. I can do a lot of stuff on it, but it`s just not effiicient.

Yea, why can't normal life all be at a footbag tournament with your best friends who you never see.

See you sometime within the next 12 months, Mathieu! Good luck with your travels.

Today I had a small sess at tam-tam.
I didn't care about hitting a big trick or making huge combos, I just tried to have fun.
I was just going everywhere while playing, doing legovers, mirages, butterflys, ducking clippers.
It was so much fun, just walking while playing.
I impressed some chicks in the process.

I hit vortex>drifter>vortex> good set for drifter but hand cach because I'm like that!

Playing like I did today was really inspiring, and I'm so down to prepare my routine for next worlds already. I got the song, know my cues, now just need to practice more playing while moving around the play area because it's that much fun.

Its always good to have a bounce-back session. Glad you had one. Good seeing you at Worlds, too bad we couldn't session much that last night. Thank you also for putting up videos so soon.

It was awesome hanging out with you again. Hopefully we can get more time to kick and hang out at NYJ.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 27 Aug 2007 09:43

all of you who posted lately I`m hoping to see you guys at NYJ.

Today had a small sess, had flip vortex and flip gyro dlo midstring

Other then that no consistency whatsoever in quantums, I suck balls with them.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 30 Aug 2007 11:26

So I`m still sucking in quantums, I just fool around instead of trying to shred as good as I should be.
pdx whirl>pdx whirl is getting more consistent,
pdx whirl>torque both sides first try
getting better with flip zooming in quantums, I never really tried to land the bag on the good spot for osis, now I do and it works.
I still shred a lot while moving around, it's really fun even while doing legovers and clippers.

I ripped a lot of skin from my right ankle, I won't play tomorrow.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 01 Sep 2007 19:28

a lot more flip whirl action today
gyro whirl bsos
gyro whirl>pdx whirl on one side (flip gyro whirl)
spin whirl flipside, that's been a long time I didn't hit it.
pdx whirl>pdx whirl>torque midstring

had a run with royal assassin and spinning PS mirage.

pretty close to pixie ducking out of symp mirage tricks.

atomic getting slightly better every sess, had a great attempt at reactor today.
