Strange i played worse than ussual today.I had a solo session in Uni.

Maybe it is because im ill? Or beacause of the hardcore stretches my legs feel more loose and it takes time to get used to that.


Does any1 have an ultimate tiltless drill or something like that? I need to work on endurance and stuff.Tiltless is damn essential.


I've hit osis>osis>ps whirl bs today

symple swirl>ripwalk bs , tryed to bsos it.This is a rad link that made me happy.

Need to work on flip barrage/whirr and double pick up,reaper too.

We had a nice trip to Paide today(a city in the middle of Estonia) we did a workshop there.Now that loads of people seen us on TV we seem to get more kids interested in footbag.

I forgot to write highlights of my session during the week.

I dont remember any now.Though today i've hit toe drifter>drifter>torque.

I didnt realise that i dont insert drifters into my game at all.I should do that!

Im into symple swirls though.They click midstring both sides.Not always though.

Especially happy of buttefly swirl,infiniry swirl and far swirl.


Sometimes i wish i could play alone for a week or so.I dont mean that playing with someone sucks it is always fun.I had a blast seeing Ramil hit pixie double rev whirl it was crazy.It was super clean.

But alone i could drill alot of concepts and stuff and drilling is effective! :)

Huh

My guitar practice was interupted for a few days cuz i didnt have a guitar.Everything is back to normal now though.I enjoy it and want to be really good at it.

Hey blog :)

Life has been good this week.I played footbag everyday,which is very good.

My legs are really sore right now.Double bsosed clip set barrage today.Fucking finally flip is working.

Spinning osis>pdx flail BS few days ago.

Double spinning clipper! Yay! though i delayed it and it set it inside my shorts.But nevertheless i hit it :)

Had some nice atomic/quantum runs.I like these sets more than pixie/fairy.Though i try to school them too.

Going to eat shrooms with Ramil tommorow! This will be fun! Cant wait.

On monday we gonna have a rehersal with 2 beatboxers.And if the manager likes how beatbox and footbag look together we will do shows at local clubs.

Peace

I don't think that this is ultimate, but it is still a descent tiltless drill.

clipper>mirage>clipper>pdx mirage>rpt
clipper>illusion>clipper>pdx illusion>rpt
clipper>far legover>clipper>same legover>rpt
clipper>far pickup>clipper>same pickup>rpt.

I've hit atomic paradon which is fussion i believe.

Fairy paradon felt good :)

Tips for plasma..

Hmm i think it is all about downtime paradon.Train paradons set from hand.

Do you know those ones?

You can watch my video the ones that was released in June i do a plasma there and it is in slow motion.

Today we did our first show on breaks in a basketball game.

The show goes for 9 and a half minutes :D it is fucking hard.Anyway we did good and the people liked it.

We had a session afterwards.

I hit alot of new links and combos after the show.

smear>plo>rpt (not new)

magellan>smear>plo>rpt>smear>plo>smear(drop)

fear>fairy lo>rpt

toe drifter>ripwalk BSOS

tomahawk>stepping BSOS on one side toma>blur,other side toma>stepping op pick up.

some new step combos , bsosed.

flipside blender>ripwalk(missed the delay,happy i did the set)

btfly>ddd>pdx mirage>rpt

long bop string (around 40 contacts).Actually it aint long :D

I dont remember i did more new stuff, well makes sense we toke up a bit before this session :D.

EDIT:

ss btfly>osis>blur>rpt
sidewalk>step ss lo>pixie lo BSOS

Overall more shuffle :)

Need to duck/spin more, i kicked flipside double spinning clipper a few days ago, and was darn close to double spinning osis on strong side.

I cant sleep very well the last few days.

There is alot on my mind.

My girlfriend.

Uni ( i dont want to study at all)

Footbag.
Thinking over and over.How to spread it in my city.How to make it popular.What is the problem.How to plan that and that.How to train.

Actually i found out that my foundation has some serious holes.Going to work on them.At first when i started playing i had this hunger for bigger moves now i understand that a good long string with a flow even if there are loads of 2's is better than addhunting.

I dont care about adds anymore, adds suck.

Im going to get a bag , sized like a tennis ball and play with it.Hopefully to stick to these type of bags.

Footbag would look cooler if the bags were bigger.

G units are good for clipper game i really enjoy them.

But the toe without walls or its just the toe isnt good for me, i cant pixie/fairy like i can in quantums.

So ill stick to quantums.


We are offered to sign a contract.Stupidly though i dont want to be teammates with Ramil.The disrespect i get from him inreturn of the help i give/gave him is bothering me.Its not just the todays argue with him on msn.

So i think i wont cooperate with him, i dont give a shit if beacause of this i wont sigh the contract, who the fuck cares.



Bubba beaters became more consistant.Pdx eggbeater on both sides seems almost ready to be inserted into strings.


Univercity aint that bad, i have more free time compared to school days so its good.

Things with my girl are just perfect :) I love how flawless everything is.We've been together for a half of year.Time flyes fast.

Going to write a project and if ill get sponsored by my city footbag will start spreading effectively.

Sorry to hear it's not going well with Ramil :oops: Maybe ask Jorden to talk some sense into him :)

Screw contracts any ways. Play for fun. You are damn good at footbag so you will definitely get other offers later on. Getting sponsored by the city sounds better. Did you contact that new guy from Tallinn?

Props on getting those eggbeaters down.

Maybe ill sign the contract by myself,i've worked that out anyway.

About Ramil im pretty sure that i wont cooperate/shred with him.I dont feel like.

Yeah if the project will get sponsored it will be nice.Im going to bring back to life our website and make it functional, make estonian and russian versions,advert it too.

And might look for a sponsor of my own, like Reebok or something.


The new guy from Tallinn wont answer my e-mail.

Thx for the props :)
