Me either, Kevin :wink: (look! I didn't call you Johny!!)

28.-31.10.

I've been playing solo for the last four days. Been back to some basics, trying my challenges and doing new drills. And boy, have I hit some stuff, especially Drifters and double dexes!!!! Dear deer here has been cold... today it was +3 celcius and very cloudy. I was playing with shorts, t-shirt - and a cap! I guess I'll be doing this outside for the start of December :twisted:

* New trick records:
Barfly x6 (old record was 3)
Drifter x10 (old record was 3)

* New drills:
Paradon > Double Pickup > rpt (on first try ever) (I did this earlier this week)
Barfly > DDD > rpt
DATW (o-i) > Terrage > rpt
DDD > Dirfter > rpt
Barfly > Pdx Drifter > rpt
Pdx Drifter > Pdx Whirl > rpt
Drifter > Pdx Drifter > rpt
Torque > Dirfter > rpt
DLO > Toe Drifter > rpt
Blur > Legbeater > Ripwalk > rpt (one of my challenges)

* New tricks:
backside Toe Blur (starting to get the feelig of Quantum set...)
Diving Drifter
Ducking Pdx Drifter
- both sides, yeah ofcourse...

*And:
New 5>5('s)
Drop bag from hand to RIGHT Clipper > Janiwalker > Pdx Torque > hand catch > say "Yeah!" > drop bag from hand to LEFT Clipper > Janiwalker > Pdx Torque > hand catch > say "Yeah" loudly

Ohhh... I want to hit Pdx Drifter > Pdx Torque > rpt :P


I filled the form for the Senior Seconday School Student ID (read my last entry on this blog and you know why). And I'm going to post it tommorrow. I should get the ID-card in about two weeks... Then I can go to the ticket lady and say "One student ticket, please." and she'll be like "do you have student card?" and I'll answer "no..." as very pondering. She says "didn't I told you that I won't be selling you guys tickets with student prices if you don't have ID's!!!" And then I'll be like "oh yeah, I think I got it!"

I will Byrin 8) - You too!

1.11.

Today me and Antti were playing. Outside. That's why we didn't even ask Felix to come, because he wouldn't have. It was +6 celcius, pretty warm compared to last few days.

Did we flimed? - Oh yes, we did. But we didn't get very much useful material, but little is better than nothing.

Nothing big was hit as new. Antti hit Pixie ss Clipper and I hit Ducking PS Mirage.

Tomorrow we are going to play at the school near Antti's house like every Tuesday. Felix should be coming too and heavy filming is to be expected...

That's what Stone C- is, Jeremy :P

2.11.

Today we were at the school. Felix dared to come too. :roll:
We catched Antti's Witchdoctor on film! Finally! That was second time (I think) when he hit it.
Also some neat stuff from Felix.
Nothing from me...

If I remember right Antti hit a new trick, but I can't remember what it was :oops:
[EDIT]I asked him today. It was PS Mirage[/EDIT]

Felix hit first try ever Backside Fury wich looked cool.

I hit Ripwalk > Pdx Illusion > Toe Ripwalk BSOS - going for the drill

3.11.

Today we had a session outsides again. Even Stone Cold was brave enough to come. You hit just where it hurt, Jeremy :P
Now as the winter is coming the sun sets down very early and we didn't have very long session.
And we didn't film - Antti had forgot the cameras memory card to his home :(

We haven't been playing together much lately...

But today Jussi Lahtinen and Pekka Raitio from Helsinki came to visit Turku. Me, Felix, Juha, Pekka and Lahtinen were playing at the sport hall. Pekka didn't play, but tomorrow he should.
Tomorrow we are going to have a footbag show in a town nearby, Kaarina.

14.11.

So today me, Antti, Felix, Lahtinen and Pekka went to the footbag show at the town Kaarina. There was a happening called "Sporty Father's Day" or something like that...
We just played for three hours and that was it :D no routine shows or anything like that. Some people came to ask and try, but we didn't make any contact with the audience. Haha. We just shredded. Pekka played today too as he promised. He is a very good player.
Pretty good day.
For making the show we got ticket to an ice hockey match next thursday. It's TPS (Turku) vs. Ässät (Pori). At least me and Antti are going to go there.

16.11

Today the first snow came - and lot's of it! The whole ground is white now!
Also I got my Student's ID card today! Yipee!! I'm already waiting for our next session at the sports hall so I can say: "In your face ticket seller lady!! I got student's ID card this time!!! The ticket costs only 1,20 euros!!!!"

We played at the school as every tuesday. Tried to film some runs this time

We filmed some hardcore shredding from me (haha - well at least the clothes were harcore. You'll see! - maybe) and some barefoot playing from Felix - ofcourse he didn't like it so we can't publish it...

When filming Felix with shoes on he didn't hit anything wich he liked. And just when he did the camera's memory card run empty and only half of the run was caught, damned. But it was a really good run with sick stuff.

I hit Superfly with both sides. Also some decent strings. Mediocre day.

Antti kept low profile during the whole session. I don't think he hit anything new/big.

I think tomorrow I'll have a solo session where I try to hit some of my challenges.

Riku: Thanks buddy! I hit both Dolomites two days after Superflys. I need to try Shaft now when I remember...

Matt: Don't look at us :roll:

Just kidding, that was a good question, but maybe a bit wrong place... Well Turku is about 160 kilometers from Helsinki so we can't host anybody. And I don't think so many people from Helsinki reads this blog - but it's a positive thing if they do :)
Maybe you should start a topic at Journies to Tournies? It not too early for that and it has to be done before it's too late.


30.11.

we (Felix, Antti & me) played at the school like every tuesday. Hadn't been palying together for like two weeks... We all had test weeks so no time for shredding together. Felix hadn't played for something like 9 days :? for medical reasons - luckily not the ankle this time.

Antti had brought the vid cam ---- buuuut, no memory stick - Jippyy... xD
We were planning on starting to edit our vid at the start of December, but looks like we are going to need still some time filming...
We try to make it a nice chirstmas present to all of you guys :D

Decent sessions... "nothing new was hit but close to everything big," as always... haha - that rhymes...

yeah, well, I'm having a solo session now... going to try Shaft now that I remember it...

5.12.

Today the net single championships finals were held in Naantali. We went there to disturb them by freestyling... 8)
Me, Felix, Juha and Antti from Turku and Pekka Raitio, Jussi Lahtinen and Darra (I don't know his real name...) but Pekka wasn't playing. :(

Good day. I and Felix had soooo long strings. :P
Lahtinen is extremely good in symposium toe stuff. He has so cool combos with them.
I haven't seen Darras game enough to say if he had a good day.

Me, Felix, Lahtinen and Darra had some funny competitions. Like running competition with consecutive Toe Stalls and Mirages. "Longest Mirage" and "Longest Symposium Mirage" and other silly stuff... :)

Antti and Juha had both some good runs that I saw. They are both starting to play decent tiltless.

I hit Fudge for the first time today - wooo!
I feel that Reaper > DSO > Paradon > rpt is so fucking close that I'm getting sick with it... Damned Xanabox drill!! :evil:
And... I footed both Nemesis' today... 8)

Whoa! :roll: Good job, Antti!

8.-11.12.

I and Felix arrived from Germany, Rostock just some hours ago. Rostock has Finnish days at the moment and there was a youth meeting so that's why we were there.
That was some fucking cool time!! 8)
Mostly we just drank beer and insulted each other with funny german sentences, but we had one session too yesterday :wink:
I had a bit hangover so much game wasn't rolling very well. I hit Vortex BSOS with no problémo and Atomsmasher x3
Felix hit Symp Whirling Far Reverse Guay wich was styley and some cool runs wich I can't remember... well he hit PS Whirl x5 with like three tries so I think his ankle doesn't hurt so much anymore:lol:

We should be starting to edit our vid next week, but we don't have enough footage yet... at least I think so.
Looks like it's not going to be what we expected, but something at least.
