Last week was kool - i made a lot of progress regarding my teaching skills,
met my new student, an 11 year old persian boy with crazy cognitive
abilities that skipped a whole year and has to learn the basics of the
lingua latina in a crash course, and i cant wait to hit him up with my nu plans.
I also had some visitors over from Ontario - Ben Roscoe and Jamie .
Although i was pretty short on time, i hope those guys enjoyed their
stay nonetheless . We had two nice sessions, hung out at the pub, where
my Dad performs, went to a lake nearby and checked out the city .
We also wanted to party on friday, but that didnt happen, because of
the troubles i had to sort out with my gf . But, by the holy St.Absinth,
i pledge to make it up to them in the up and comming week of WORLDS .
Worlds. In Praha. Wow . I gonna be there with Pia who's bringing a friend,
all my main footbag mates will be there aswell obviously, and i will meet
one of my best friends - whom i havent met in ten years - for his
twisted version of a stag night . I hope still be able to walk when i come home.
Footbag. Well, i gotta say "Mixed Emotions " comes to mind - not a great
state to be in, and clearly one of The Stones' weakest songs .
I did ok i guess, but when i watched Ben, who has an awesome style
and is a few levels ahead with the stuff that i'm currently learning, i peeped
a lot of flaws in my game . The main thing that needs improvement
is my consistency - i know its natural not to have the stuff thats in
process solid, but i hate short runs. I also gotta work on my concentration.
Like i could hit frontside atom, ps whirl, rev-up, quantum whirl, phoenix and pixie para,
but i dropped butterflies and even ducking clippers...
And watching Bens flowing symmetry and ninja like shuffle, it hit me
with the fist of Zeus, THAT STYLE IS EVERYTHING (as in form and execution).
It feels good to know where to start ones work, and although i made a big
leap forward, there is sooo much more to be learned, loved and understood.
All of this came out crooked, over-long without being exact, xmas aint every day i guess, but its good to record stuff anyway .
Today i had a hardcore drill session, well it was some sort of bootcamp
shred that might have been used in the time of the prussian army.
Wether i got stuff down or was constantly missing the last and deciding stall, i continued .
I worked tiltless, failing to go past 50 , but hit 40+like 4 times, also skooled my
flip clip>far abilities and illusions (thx Ben).
Then butter>butter>drifter>rpt, then quantum, double downs, swirls,
dexless, atomic/tapping, gyro,stepping, rubberman and some bigger trix. 3hrs in total
dso>quantum legover>short string bs
(flip) toeblur>toeblur>toeblur>fat string (20 cons ?)
blur>atom>legbeater>blur>atom>atomic drop many times, same thing
when i started with legbeater.....sooooon
(legbeater>dlo>rpt)
toeblur>dlo bsos in a decent string (1.try)
legbeater>stepping legover>rpt>string (1.try)
some strings i was pleased with aaaand, as a sweetener, i finally hit
MULLET (twice)
