bus stop shred

After doing a lot of stuff for school and work I thought, I could write something about our last session.

It was great to play again. Finally my knee does not hurt anymore. I´m still carefull, but I think I´m over the mountain (do you say this in english?) :P

I was suprised how good everything works. I have to practise my combos and runs again, but almost every trick I could do once is still available.

I will write more detailed about our next session.

Ab wann hastn Zeit ? Die Bea und ich ham mal Olybad um 8 geplant,
aber Innenstadt is auch gut - Hauptsache mir lassens gscheid krachen !


Had another session today, which was kind of unwanted, if thats a word.
Since fall last year i wasnt able to play much, unfortunatly, being either
injured or caught up in hectic study>work>familiy schedule.

I'm recovering ok, but i got to take things easy at the moment .
I say this as a reminder to myself, because since i got back into playing
like 2 weeks ago after a long drought, i enjoyed myself a little too much.
So my knee and ankle tell me.
But there's alot of good stuff in there - since i have to play lite, i got lots
of time to tackle some of my weak spots. In terms of tricks a whole list
of problems enrolls because of poor flip atw/clipper skills.
But the main reasons for still not busting more than 30 guiltless is my
breathing, or lack thereof - one of my most clear memories of a random
footbag conversersation is Szymon Kalwak saying to me in Wroclaw:
"nice tricks, but can you also breathe, Mr. Canady"?...
Today i showed that i can :D
Another problem is wishful thinking or evaluating a trick mid motion.
But when i swop thinking with breathing, i'm all golden and easy stuff
like clippers, bops or dexless are perfect for learning all that.

All healed up and strong i would probably waste good time attempting
smog>dimmiest, so i'm quite happy with my situation !


41 flip ss clipper

today I had a 30 minute session in the Riemer BUGA-Park while my
daughter was asleep in the bicycle trailer.. :)

well, you can't exactly call it session, it was more of a 30 minute warm-up.

My stamina is embarrasing, so is my speed. I won't elaborate on my
control, but then again I don't have any decent bags to play with. The
footbags I play with are more than 5 years old and deserve to go into
retirement.

The only thing I still feel confident with are my infinities.

Still it was super fun to hack again.

My goal for the future is to finally learn spins and mainly go for ducking
and spinning in order to preserve my knees.

Good to hear from you Bjoern! Working on ducks and spins sounds like a great idea. I hope you can play until your daugther finishs school (:

I'm also working on Spins now. They are great but I still have some trouble. I either set not straigth enough or I start to spin to early.

Wasabi wrote: Max from Munich showed up unexpectedly!!! What a BIG surprise that was! He bought some white Lavers with the red trim, but they were unmodded so he couldn't really play in them. Ben Cooke offered him his pair of white Quantum 03s, and he shredded like a boss with some sweet toe drills and DLO bsos. 8) Apparently, it looked like he was traveling around NYC on vacation with his girlfriend, and he just happened to bump into our circle (Ben, Dave, Barrett, myself). The whole "Are you footbaggers? Do you surf modified?" questioning went down, and we had a great time socializing. What a euphoric feeling to have a footbagger from another region come in to play with you out of nowhere.

- modified my new/old gunits
- shred with Bea at Dantebad today

sounds great !


wow, another month has passed by and i didnt kick it until today :?

I'd love to blame it on my studies, buts its my joints (left knee/right ankle)
and the april weather we had in may that kept me from playing .

Taking it easy for that long showed me that i need to visit a doctor,
a really good doctor - i didnt put any pressure on my poor joints at all for a whole month, and while my knee got better, my anke still feels stiff and
"crunches" when i move my foot from side to side...

Aaaaanyways, i had a session with BEATRIX today. Boy, it feels so good to play. Apparently some of that stuff is so deeply imprinted in my system,
so that i can pull it off even when i dont play regularily at all.
In that vein, i had some 15+ guiltless runs without hustling to hard,
and i hit stuff like tapping dlo first try.

New tripless : atom>parkwalk>pdx whirl

I will play more if the weather stays like that, but have to restrict myself to have 3 sessions max a week (at least until i know how to heal up)

I hope you're all well. I miss you all!

We have to get together for a reunion shred once the weather is better.

Letizia is starting with footbag too. The other day she grabbed my footbag from the desk, walked up to me and put it on my foot :D
