No busking or anything yesterday. Officialy single again after the last 2-3 months of a degrading relationship.

I'm going to practice my routine right now, and looking forward to a great time in Boston this weekend to change my mind!

What was your big one, Mathieu?

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 03 May 2009 15:04

big one was spinning motion

today I improved one trick, near double switch, I've hit it many times and now I know the technique. Almost hit it in combos, footed vortex-near dbl switch and also footed pixie whirl - near dbl switch

hmm, I footed pdx torque b2b again.. nothing much more worth of mention besides it was a nice tamtam and I was exausted due to my friends bachelor last night that I was organising

A really interesting busking solo sess today
50 minutes
23.50$

For about 20 minutes I was dropless, hand catching after 10-15 contacts, felt super pro

the last 10 minutes I was dropping often, so I decided to step it up and stay until I earned another buck, did'nt take too long.

4 cops where watching me the whole time, I was a bit nervous at first but they did'nt do anything.

I did something I never do midstring, and was fun : knee bump - ss legover - knee bump - ss pickup - knee bump - ss mirage - knee bump - butterfly

not much shred in the past week, was sick for past 4 days and weather was crap
played hockey friday, felt so good and played great and was lot of fn

footbagwise, return after one week today. shitty session but new stuff:
miraging pickup
pdx drifter - ps whirl (new I think)
something from last week but I like: gyro pickup - symp whirl
footed ingyro toe - symp whirl

and finished the sess by almost hitting my first 6-6 motion sickness - mullet, I'll try again some oher time

Frustrating most of the time doing 4-5 tricks or having tips for stuff I learned the wrong way, it felt like all my tricks are wrong

Ianek gave me good tips, and I'm thankfull for it, but sometimes you take it the wrong way. In the end it's all good anyways.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 12 May 2009 17:00

mobius - tomahawk
late inside
almost hit far late toe - dbl switch - rpt
nuclear legover after switching nuclear technique!

and after drinking a red bull ( I never drink them) : Sumo! crowd goes wild

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 16 May 2009 08:16

flip reaper!
reaper bsos

pdx whirl - reaper almost both sides, footed flip

wanted to improve flip whirls and double downs

tried to go for barfly - pdxwhirl, but wouldnt work on flip barfly, still weak

with flip pdx whirl I did pdx whirl - barlfy - pdx whirl a couple of times, flip pdx whirl seems improved and I will use it more in strings now

If flip reaper can improve some, I will surely go for xanabox

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 19 May 2009 17:19

crappy session

reaper bsos
had a run where I ended by footing gyro symp whirl, still haven't hit the trick

finished session with some Ianek tips on vertigo, hit a pretty nice one to finish the sess.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 21 May 2009 16:37

played really bad for busking in about 30-40 mins, made about 25$, worst performance that made good money

then session with other players

vertigo first try
ps whirl was on for a while

pixie symp whirl super controlled

first 6-6 : motion sickness - mullet

a nice safe 3; barfly - pdx whirl - reaper

reaper bsos again

first half of rubberman on one side.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 23 May 2009 16:43

pretty bad session today, but was fun

over 3 hours with Francois, we could still go on, but decided to stop

hmm, Worked on zooms a bit, they are rusty. Forgot you need to actually work for them to work, lazy lazy... got osis - vortex both sides again, so I know what I got to do.

first time I hit toe blur! I can sort of quantum properly on one side, it was more leggy then hippy, so I guess thats good. tripwalk is easier with this method as well.

did some flip refractions, need to work those a lot, never do them

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 03 Jun 2009 16:00

not much lately, little play because I'm taking care of so many things

tap - atomsmasher rpt

void - torque

some slow and easy motion sickness, like, way slower then usual

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 07 Jun 2009 13:33

mobius - pdx torque
flip half of xanabox! Need to school flip reaper some more and I will suely hit this

workng on a huge drill : clip set: dbl pickup - dso -datw - dso - paradon - rpt

so far I suck at paradon - dbl pickup so you know where this drill stops so far.

spins out of strong pdx drifter are getting pretty good

also cool combo: pixie muted clip - gyro legover- pixie rake

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 14 Jun 2009 19:25

played like crap for both days of the event

but on friday I played pretty well while busking with Seb Scott and Rory, once I was on it did'nt stop.

Instead of busking I was at a point I was just shredding as hard as I could since Scott is so inspirationnal. He's the best player to watch in my opinion. A lot of fun and a lot of laughs and smile just watching his shred, tricks and links.

I learned some stuff from him this weekend, and will school this hard.

Even tough I sucked, on this small kicking and shredding time at the best looking spot of montreal (up the mountain) I hit spinning reaper and montage to close the last session of the weekend and it felt good. The montage did'nt even feel hard

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 17 Jun 2009 16:09

Today I felt really good, played well

flip whirl was never better
whirl war midstring super controlled

pixie whirl - pdx whirl - ps whirl

and then I injured my right ankle on a magellan !?!??!?!?!?

Hope it feels better tomorrow, I tried playing over it, and on a spin whirl it really killed me

Dude, you've got some sick highlights here!! It was awesome to play with you in Montreal, and hopefully, I'll be able to come back!
