Huh, I just ended a record session, like 2 hours long. I'm still in sweat, but it was really successful.
New self-records, born this evening:
47 mirages
53 ss mirages
83 flipside clippers
34 magellans (not new, hit them on thuesday but not mentioned yet)
257 legovers

Also practiced osis stalls and ducking clippers, all of them went really good. I hit osis>spinning butterfly.

Uff! I'm tired.

Wow, 4th page. That's a 33% increase.

Yesterday I played alone again (at home). I'm lucky that I have an own room that is big enough to play footbag in. The session was short, but enjoyable. I made a second one of my self-challenges: eggbeater>ss eggbeater rpt. I played well, but after like 40 minutes, my left ankle began to hurt. I don't know why, perhaps the warm-up was too short. Anyway I don't feel like injured, but my flipside clipper get so wrong (it's flexibility sucks now) that I decided to keep some rest. So I will not play today, even if I want to. I hope it will be better tomorrow.

These days I became a little bit ill, but I'm overall happy, and play as much as I can. I'm still busy with school and will be in the next 2 weeks too. Yesterday I had a short session, ca. 30 minutes long. I could have been longer, but it became dark pretty early. I had to play outdoor, 'cause my father went to sleep, and my sessions are pretty noisy (because of the landings and the music). Our rooms are next to each other.
Anyway, I was pretty inspirated, and ejoyed playing a lot. I hit 2 new records: 24 ducking clippers, and 5 pdx whirls, with and infinity at the end. Actually, the last infinity was an "accident"; my self-challenge is to hit 6 pdx whirls in a row, maybe I could have hit the 6th too. Practiced some blurry whirls too, they were good, but didn't hit it b2b.
3 days ago I completed one more self challenge: blurry whirl>infinity>infinitiy>blurry whirl.

Hey, I saw your routine on Youtube, good stuff!

[TomTilly]

Thanks Roy!

Now I'm taking some rest. My illnes is fortunately gone, but I still have a lot of stuff to learn, which is draining my brain, and I was also physically tired today. Now I'll learn and take a bath, relax, etc.
Some good things happened these days:
1. Today I had a sport lesson, this semester we had to learn how to swim, which wasn't a problem for me, I can swim really good. The sad thing was that I had to learn how to dive (jumping in the water with the front of my arms and head I mean... sorry for the bad english). I never liked it, better said I hated it in my whole life, but I could learn it, and today I showed it to the trainer. He said it was okay, so I completed this little exam. Huh.
2. I got my credit card, finally I can order Ultrasuede light facile and planetfootbag filler! One of my dreams (stitching professional, shredable footbags) is coming closer and closer
3. I'm exited about the tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to have a rendezvous with a girl in my class I like
4th but definetly not least: I played in the 2 last days. On tuesday I just shredded 2 hours long without a rest longer than one minute, it made me sooo much fun It hasn't got any highlights, perhaps 15 contacts of ducking clipper>diving clipper>rpt. while warming up.
Yesterday I played too, and hit a new trick:
Ripstein on both sides (not so good stalls but to handcath)
And a new drill: smear>pixie legover>magellan>pixie illuson>rpt. Both on video, I'll upload them here

Now I have to leave, my bath and the biology book are waiting.

edit: here are the videos:

Have a nice day!

So well.

I finished my tests this week, they all were fine, I got good notes (exept for one, but it does not count), now I will prepare myself for the exams. The good thing is, that the semester is nearly over, I don't have to go in the school between the exams. This way I have much more time to learn and SHRED of course I can't wait for the sprnig and summer, love to play outdoor. Yesterday, after finishing a good session, I went out and hit some tricks. I was wearing an only shorts, and swet like a horse. It was rather cold. Anyvay, I hit a few ripwalks and blurry whirl on both sides first try . Sunlight is simply fantastic.

These days I practiced spinning, stepping, atomic and flipside pixie sets a lot. Nothing huge highlights, but the sessions were enjoyable. I loved them.

My Kozlov-bag is really old, still good, but gets more and more holes But the ultrasuede light I ordered is on the way, and today I ordered some planetfootbag filler too (the same that Hania uses) I can't wait to work with them, I'm pretty exited

[TomTilly]

Yesterday I played like 2,5 hours, it was crazy. I was tired, but thought why should I stop? The whole session was really good. I practiced torques at the end, they went pretty good. Most of them was footed, but the dex and the spinning-like jump in the middle, which is the hardest element of the trick in my opinion, was good controlled. I tried flipside torque many times, but couldn't do it. Two times footed it, but overall I was satisfied with them. I'm not so far from it I think.
Today, after learning psychology 5 hours long, I decided to play some footbag. My controll was very good, but I was surprised about my stamina. After like 40 minutes of playing, I felt totally exhausted. I don't really know why, perhaps because I am mentally tired, or it's too dark in my room, or the last session was too exhausting, I don't know. But I still don't understand Vasek's stamina. How is that possible??? My whole training were a small warm-up for him.
And I thought I'm a well-built man with good stamina and strong legs

[TomTilly]

I did not hit yesterday the fearless combo Ã

[TomTilly]

I haven't posted here since a long time. I was busy with learning and celebrating with family, so I had some shitty sessions, but some goods as well. some news:
I got my ultrasuede light I don't have planetfootbag filler yet, but stiched some bigger, 12 panel footbags, filled with little aquarium-rocks. They all are good and shredable in my opinion
I don't really remember to my last few sessions and their highlights, but on 31th dec. I hit ducking far swirl with a bag I made It was good.

Some goals I want to reach in the new year:

b2b blurriest and blurry whirl
consecutive barflys
ripped warrior bs
mobius bs
blurrier bsos
2 times Hungarian champion
stitch good-looking, shredable, professional 32-panel footbags;)
do all my currently self-challenges

Now that's all I remember.
Happy new year, modified!

Yesterday evening, or better said today dawn, after meeting a sweet girl, I was waiting for a bus in Budapest. It was pretty cold, like -5 C, and I had to wait like 35 minutes.
Fortunately, I had a bag in my pocket, so I started just kicking and stalling fully chloted. It went pretty good, expecially if we see that I was wearing trousers, 2 pullovers, a leather coat and ordinary street shoes.
I think the "highlight" of this little session were 35 opposite inside stalls>clipper stall>ducking clipper>handcath and b2b ducking clipper a few times. The fact is, that just kicking around easily never made me so much fun before

Anyway, the rendezvous was also good. It was sunday, so the boozer we were in closed at 23:00, but after that we walked near the Donau and talked. A funny moment was that I found a piece of icy snow, put it on my foot and hit a perfect atw to 2 inside kicks with it. Actually, she did not really care



I can't wait for the summer.

[TomTilly]

Yesterday happened, what I missed in the last few weeks. No, I did not do the sweet girl I mentioned above, I just had a long and enjoyable solo session. Practiced atomics, guiltless game, flipside pixies and far clippers a lot. I hit a new move too: Toe opp. flux. I was really happy about it, but after filming it and seeing it in slow, I saw that it is completely "the"
I had some other tries, 2 of them is propably okay, but definetly thin. It depends on personal opinion, but those two aren't very clean as well. I'll post a video about them soon.
Anyway, the session was still good. On monday I'll have an exam, but it will be not a hard one, so I think I'll play tomorrow, or at least on Monday afternoon

Anyway, these days are fun. I have some things to work on, but nothing to worry about. I don't want to forgot the philosophy I had during the whole summer (check out my post from that time ). Can't wait for the end of the semester and complete all of the exams. There are a few things about the school I'm going to do differently in the future.

Today I wanted to send money to my paypal and finally order the planetfootbag filler, but I made so many mistakes with the long passwords and codes and notes etc., that I get banned from my e-bank account for 24 hours But tomorrow I'll do it for sure - And so an other stitching career began

[TomTilly]

Today evening I had a short sesion, like 40 minutes long. After a short warm-up, I practiced ducking & diving clippers, whirls and pick-ups. I hit diving pickup bs, just for fun.

After a quick thought and a several tries, I hit flipside paradox blender I was really happy about it. I thought if blenders are going such good, it's time to hit other blender-variations. So I hit toe opp. blender bs, and pixie opp. blender on one side, but with flipside blender I should really work on all my blenders, I think it's a good trick, but my stalls and control by this move isn't smooth at all.

[TomTilly]

Ungh, an other 20-day long break in blogging.
In these 20 days I had a lot of exams, I finished all of them, but sucked with the hardest one, so I had to skip it till the end of the next semester.

In these 20 days I had some good sessions, and fortunately only one shitty one, but it was also fun, though.

One memorable moment: I finally hit whirling swirl, 2 times, and a week later, hit dlo>ss dlo> rpt. and eggbeater>ss eggbeater>rpt. in a guiltless string. On that session, I was close to bedwetter>phoenix, but footed it. Anyway, the pixie ducking after the bedwetter was smooth. My flipside pixie become much better controlled.

The above mentioned session was but pretty epic, 'cause I hurt myself again. I twisted my ankle while barflying, but it wasn't so serious. After 12 days, it still hurts at some movements, but get much better. The sad thing is, that it kicked me off from shredding for 2 weeks.

The best thing going on these days is my stitching project. I finally get the planetfootbag metal filler (1 kg), and I have been stitching like a freak since that Now only 12 panels, filled with aquarium rocks and pf filler; they'll fly to Denmark. My friend Ã

[TomTilly]

Some updates:

My ankle feels much better, I can shred without any problems. At thuesday we had a crazy session with Grek, Tompi and Bálint, and we all had a good form. Sadly we only had 1,5 hours to play, which felt a bit short. I enjoyed every single string of this session. Some highlights for me:

tripwalk bsos, spinning pdx illusion and a blurry whirl in a like 15 contact long guiltless string
blur>atomsmasher>guiltless run with a bedwetter at the end
blur&blizzard bs in a guiltless string
pdx eggbeater>dimwalk>pdx eggbeater>slapdown>run
10-20 contact long strong guiltless strings (with a lot of 4-add moves I mean)

The others were pretty inspiring though, grek hit stepping whirling swirl midstring, and Tompi hit one of the most relaxed sailing legover and ripped warrior I've ever seen. He has the most beautiful style in Hungary I think.

My stitching-project goes well, I'm making bags like a machine. We played with them last time we shredded with the Hungarian crew, and they're really good and shredable, without any need of break-in I posted 2 pictures about them in the "Bags you have made" -thread, but I show you the last 3 I stitched:

[TomTilly]

Kicked a little bit in my room; practiced juggling, and hit atomic illusion bs and fairy mirage. Run out of planetfootbag filler, but still stitching. Proud of my bags, they feel awesome.

[TomTilly]

Wow, such a good session today, I've just finished it. After warming up, I practiced guiltless strings, and counted the contacts, and also the averange of every 10 strings. The averanges were 9,9; 8; 7 and 7,5 contacts. The longest one was 18 contact long, and they were not unique.

It was fun though, I was a bit more pissed up about 2-contact long strings than usual, but it ispired me to work, not just mess around. I'll make stuff like this in the future. It is also a good method to see my development and increase my stamina I think.

I hit some good new moves too:

ripwalkswirl (sadly only on strong side)
toe ss symple swirl bs and
pixie muted ss symple swirl bs.
I never practiced symple swirls before, but I can hit them, and they feel good I love them. Have to get pixie muted ss symple swirl bsos that would be awesome.

[g00d33]

Hey, those bags are looking really nice!

And props on the swirl highlights. They're so much fun!

[TomTilly]

Thanks John!

I played with grek today, get tired a bit early, but played well. I had a lot of good guiltless strings, and other highlights:

Fog bs
92 infinities
toe ss symple swirl bsos I was really happy about all of them (the last one wasn't so hard).

I'm totally satisfied with my bags. Washed the red - orange one I use now, and it become veeery soft I want to play with them a lot, before I offer them for sale here, on modified. I'm also going to order some other colors of facile in the near future, and stitch at least 10 good bags, before I open an own topic for them.

[TomTilly]

I had 2 sessions in the last 3 days. I miss the warm weather and SUNSHINE a lot!!! Can't wait for the summer, I'm rather bored on my dark room.
Anyway, both sessions were kind of enjoyable; nothing huge stuff, but I always feel good after shitty sessions too.
The first one had a good highlight: tripwalk>far swirl bs. Not bsosed yet, but I'm on the way I fell in love with far swirls.

During the last few weeks I put on some weight, but decided to lose it and do some workout. 3 years ago I went to the gym 4 times a week, worked my ass off, and loved it as fuck. I lost that passion and like half of my muscles too, but I still love and respect every well-built guys, 'cause I know how much work and sacrifice it needs.

I also quit stitching until I get the filler I ordered on thuesday. I have 5 non-filled bags , and they look so empty and sad I'm still trying new methods and stuff, which I can't really judge, if the bag isn't filled. A filled and finished bag looks much better than a non-ended one. Oh my, it's such a beautiful feeling to see it after that My goal is still to make the best bags on the Earth, but I definetly need some practicing.

[TomTilly]

Wow, that's I call a good session. 2 hours of pure shred, with some great highlights:

quantum mirage bsos
blurry whirl bsos
Bedwetter bsos, all of them in guiltless runs;
(had some tries on fog bsos; didn't hit it yet, but hit a lot of nice fogs )

a 28-contact long guiltless string, and an other strong guiltless one over 20 contacts (we didn't count that one, but it was pretty long)

and a new move: dimwalk reverse swirl

I tried some records close to the end of the session, but broke only one as I remember: 5 flipside eggbeaters. I was satisfied with all these stuff.
I got very tired at the end, but felt pretty good
