yeah, i just got back from footjam and it really rocked!! you can't imagine how well organized everything was!! like switzerland is so very expensive, but the registration fee was so cheap! including food and lodging for three days!!
we (alex, roman and i) arrived in switzerland at 6 o'clock in the morning. taking the train was by far the cheapest way to get there, though it was not a really comfortable way. i got like two hours of sleep, which was definately not enough.
right at the train station, as we had arranged it, we met hania. it was so cool that she made it. i mean she was coming all by herself by bus and it took her like 14 hours to get to zürich.
yahoo, finally i got a chance to meet her again!! we hadn't seen eachother in ages!!
so, for this weekend hania became austrian and represented our country well.
yepp, then after an awesome breakfast and some coffee, the competition started. the very first competitor was roman. roman is from linz and it was his first big competition. he's only been playing for a year and he's doing really well!!
then sometime later our routines started. i think that the level was very high. i was really worried about my routine, because i was so tired. the qualification worked well though...i had three drops and placed first. i was very impressed by tina, because she didn't only shred hard, but she had a very nice and solid routine.
felix' first round routine was so good. awesome spinning stuff and ripstein, whirr and symp. whirling swirl all included.
the women finals were around 11 o'clock. at this point i was even more tired. i was very disappointed, because my routine was so bad. i had quite a lot of drops and couldn't hit anything. i was actually very, very surprised that i got second. i think it was mainly, because everybody but tina (blurry whirl as last trick!!) had a bad routine.
again i was really impressed that tina was doing so well in routines. i think she will be worldchampion soon.
later that night, i had lots of fun talking to the munich crew, ian from australia, arthur from france,...
again, i got only three or four hours of sleep, because we had to leave the rote fabrik at 8 o'clock in the morning, and change the event place. after taking a nap and getting sunburned, i felt a lot better and wanted to shred. the first circle i played in, was made up of lise, nikolai and myself. it was so much fun.
later i got a chance to play with carol, bea, max and others. i didn't play very well all day. my legs very pretty tired. i finally hit mobius in front of lise though, set a new personal whirl record of 33 and wasn't too far away from hitting flip ripstein.
in total i played like four hours that day without taking a break.
the party in the evening was a lot of fun too. i was very tired though, and didn't stay up too late. i woke up with a real sore throat though, which really sucked.
i tried to play on monday as well, but really couldn't hit anything. mentally i was so motivated, but my legs weren't.

yeppp. footjam was so awesome!!!!!!!!!
i'm really sorry for everyone who didn't make it to footjam!
edit: almost forgot to mention that, but i got two new sweet bags. both are hania bags, one is broken in, the other one is brand new. the broken in one, is the best one i ever played with!! it's so awesome!!
I could see how close you were, it was only a matter of time. 
and thanks for all the other comments in our footblog, they are very encouraging. and a big thanks to björn for giving me a dvd full of shred videos (i can't download a lot).
