WARNING: Do not continue to read this post if you don't want to know what is the 5 dex trick that has been hit and verified as clean

So I just came back from Czech Footbag Championships. It was great tournament and I'm really happy I made it. There was some really good shred, and lots of funny situations that I will remember for long

So, the cool news are that Vasek apparently hit Sailing ss Flurry, which was seen by Ales and confirmed clean

Isn't that cool? And funny at the same time - in the times of total clipper domination, one of the hardest moves is toe2toe

I have to tell this to Cod

I hit a new trick and also one new link:
Backside Bedwetter
PS Whirl > Whirlwind

I was also pretty close to Flaring Barfly, and cleared a set that I have never seen before and I think it's brand new

As soon as I hit something out of it I'll write it here

Wow Szymon!! You're getting so hardcore!!! Huuuuge props for all those moves!!!
I'm also glad to see that you've started to stitch!! Can't wait to see your bags!

And for this 5 dexes vasek's move, it's so crazy! I hope we'll see this in video once! It's not that sure...

I've heared about other 5 dexes moves, but they are kept secret if you see what I mean..

edit: and this is a shame...

Hey Leuch, thanks for your props

And Vasek is pretty crazy, can't deny it

I'm finishing a bag made from a new fabric right now, I hope it will be shreddable. Nersbags will take over the World!

Well, maybe just Wrocław. Or just my house.

Nice session today (shit, I always start my session reports in this manner). New stuff:

Spinning Osis > Torque (rpt)
Mullet BSOS
Blender & Pdx Blender BSOS in same run
Mobius and Pdx Torque in one run

I just got the idea to try Blurry Whirl > Torque (rpt). I think I would be able to hit Stepping out of my stronger Torque. I'm trying PS Eggbeaters too, today I footed Spinning PS Egg

I was also close to hitting something out of Flarreal.

You're skooling hard, I see.. Props!
See you on _the_jam saturday.

Ners · Post by **Ners** » 31 Aug 2005 08:15

Hehe dil, I don't really school so much, I just shred a lot

. The jam is going to rock! I can't wait already!

My runs were pretty short today, because I rided my bike a lot in the morning, but I noticed that I really started to do more varied strings. For example one of my combos had Drifter > Torque (rpt), Drifter > Pdx Whirl, some Ducks, Spins, Pdx Eggbeater, rev. Swirl, Barrage, Pixie and Stepping sets, Barfly and almost BSOS Janiwalker. I also hit a new trick today:

Symp. Whirling Pdx Mirage

I think it should be called Flare, as it is Flaring Mirage. I think Flaring Barfly is totally possible.

Word up, thats excactly how i feel about this beautiful peace of web space !
Of course i learn a lot from the experience of my team mates and
due to my past footbag related travels i was in the lucky position
of getting to play with some of the best in the world, but its the really
talented players like you and Serge Kaldany who make me believe
that everythings possible

props on your beast ( add a food processor, if you can ), thats just wicked, so is triage and all that fearless stuff !

Keep inspiring us and please tell me about any upcomming events in Wroclaw, i have to see you and Hania !

Thanks for the replies guys!

So, today's session was a bit laid off, since we played in the city center. The surface wasn't perfect, so I mostly tried new stuff. I'm throwing more Illusions in my runs, for example one of my strings had Pdx Illusion and Blizzard BSOS, and Pdx Eggbeater (can't hit that on the other side yet

). I also hit Blizzard > DOD, and it made me feel like Vasek

One new trick and one new link:

Miraging Pickup
Whirlwind > Spinning Pdx Blender

I was really close to Maelstrom > Whirlwind, and Whirlygig > Whirlwind. I think the most possible beast for me would be Whirlygig > Whirlwind > Mullet. I also made three new records:

Buttefly x125
Osis x66
BOP combo x65

The day after tommorow I'll be shredding with all the guys from south

It's going to be great. Too bad the school started

125 Butterflies! Is this a Polish Record?

ptaku · Post by **ptaku** » 01 Sep 2005 12:12

Hehe... Keep it up Szymon! Great results. Super cool Butterflies record. Osis' is not bad too. BOP run could be longer

I will hit Blizzard > DOD midstring for you ;] Or even BSOS, with some luck ;] You challenged me to do it, and you didn't ever know that you did it ;]

Ners · Post by **Ners** » 03 Sep 2005 12:20

So the Strzelce Opolskie Jam is already finished, it was great fun and awesome shred

It was really nice to meet with all the players from south, and just hang out. I hit one new link:

Food Processor > Whirlwind

I'm very tired so I'll end here. Rozkmina is the best.

Good session today, even though it was really short, about one hour. Some new stuff I've hit:

Blurry Whirl > Blurriest, PS Whirl > PS Whirl and Blurry Drifter > PS Whirl in one run
Blurry Whirl > Tomahawk > run
Janiwalker > Blurry Whirl > PS Whirl > run > Spinning Pdx Whirl > Pdx Blender

Also hitting Pixie Paradon > Torque felt nice. Torque > Drifter (rpt) is getting easier. In conclusion, good shred

Hey, you're good.

I just wanted to say that I really really like your icon.

Ners · Post by **Ners** » 05 Sep 2005 10:20

Thanks Stephen! I like it too

So today we played in the park, "we" meaning me and my friend Goku, so it was a two man session. He had a camera with him and we shot some cool stuff, maybe I'll get the footage from him and edit something out

That would be cool.

In the beggining of the session I mostly did runs, trying to incorporate fearless links in them, I remember one nice run that started with Pdx Torque and had both PS Whirl and Blurry Whirl > drop on Mobius. I also hit a combo with Food Processor, Whirlygig and Mullet - I think that was the first time I hit three 6's in one run.

I got pretty close to a beast, hitting Whirlygig > Whirlwind and going for Mullet. Unfortunately, Whirlwind was a bit sketchy and made me off balance so I couldn't finish the combo. But I think I'm able to do it, I just need to work on it more.

I was trying this new set that I figured out - Symposium Whirling Nuclear. I actually hit one trick out of it (the easiest possible, but I think it still counts

) - Symp. Whirling Nuclear ss Osis. I planted after the Nuclear dex, so I think it was clean. So it's like a Pogo Far Dyno done in a really weird way hehe

After our session we went to eat something and talked a lot about footbag and stuff

Can't wait for tommorow!

So we played againg today, this time in another place, next to a big shopping center Galeria Dominikańska. It was cool, and I hit some new stuff:

Gravedigger to start a string with some 5's
Symp. Whirling Swirl, Phoenix, Pixie Paradon, Blurry Whirl BS, Spinning Pdx Whirl and PS Whirl in one run
Phoenix > Blurriest, Pixie Paradon, other Blurriest, Blurry Whirl BS and PS Whirl on one run

So I basically worked on fearless

. Twirl is a cool move!

We have a digital camera, so I just have to buy a TV tuner card and some other stuff, and then I'll be able to make real shred videos!

That will be awesome!

EDIT: I totally forgot! I made this video

It was really fun to edit it, but I have to warn you - quality sucks big time

c*x*, you shoud've left this move for Franek! It's a Zelinka move

Fs gybas uptime looks nice too.

There are some sessions, that give you the feeling of acomplishment and "pleasant tiredness" after they end - today I had a session like this

It was about 2,5 hour long and I played with Olaf. New stuff:

Spinning Superfly
Pixie Dolomite

Blurry Whirl > Torquescrew > PS Whirl
Pixie Paradon > Blurry Whirl > Blurry Whirl > run with Mobius

I worked on my flip Pixie and the results were really good - I could hit the basic Pixie tricks both sides in runs, like Pixie ss Mirage b2b and stuff. I think I hit flip Parkwalk for the first time today

Blurry Whirl > Pdx Whirl > Mobius to a run felt nice too. My flip Barraging is getting better, maybe I could hit Janiwalker b2b.

I almost hit my Shred30 dropless. Now that I have a good bag I think it's totally doable

yeah, that post did lighten me up, too...my flip pixie is still 2/10....

Seeing that people who hit PS Whirling Swirl have the same trouble
as I does comfort me a bit
