MatS footblog!

Enough about worlds, sorry for all those I forgot but anyway I don't remember much details and don't feel like updating. Saying hi to all those I've met there.

So... What's up about me and footbaag? Why do I update my blog so rarely now? First, I'm not playing as much as I'd like to lately, no time to play... And when I do have time, I want to hang out and stuff. So I'm playing once or twice a week since worlds. I'm really gonna try to play more thought. And to why I don't update my blog, the answer is pretty easy, I just don't feel like updating too often.

I been playing more on my clipper lately, worlds made me realise how much I suck at clipper stuff. My clipper control is poor. And my toe control is pretty good I think. I want to be able to hit stuff like blurry whirl b2b in runs of whirl/drifter/osis and stuff you know? I don't have a specificate time to hit that, actually I haven't even hit blurry whirl. I'd like to be able by next summer but is it going to be before or after that I have no idea. I'm sure I could do it before that if I would play as much as I played last year but with school and all I'm not sure how much time I'm going to dedicate to footbag. I love to play, but I love to see my friends and play other sports too so it's hard to split my time well now that I'm back to college.

Been playing a little more lately and it is really starting to shows in my game, I'm really happy of the last 3-4 sessions. Getting bops more and more consistant, infinity is definitely an easy bail now, pdx mirage is one too, osis is still getting better, got infinity > infinity > osis > rpt * 2 and a half. Some improvement in ducking and whirl but still not there. Stepping is finally getting good, flip too, got some duckable sets on strong, haven't been able to really duck it but the height is there, got it at chest on flip. I can step out of dimwalk, legbeater and such trick pretty easily now. Everything else has been improving too, pixie, fairy, atomic, quantum, dlos. Yeah. Oh and got some controlled drifter too. Dyno bsos ( with a toe stall after both so not really). Gotten a few drills I'm happy of, fear > fairy legover > rpt, dimwalk > stepping far legover > plo > rpt.

I wonder if that has anything to do with me starting to do some musculation again, looks like I have more reflex and it helps. I'm learning faster too.

Thanks for the word Andrew, yep it's sad we haven't been able to shred when you we're down here!

Few stuff from today :

blurriest ( probably the best I ever hit )
blurry whirl first try
assassin bsos
4 ripwalk first try
flip stepping is improving a lot
pixie whirl footed the bsos, got it both sides in 2 back to back strings
pdx whirl bsos again
ducking clipper butterfly and mirage bsos in the same string

I'm so happy I started shredding again, I'm really getting in the mood to shred more often right now!

Shredded today. Best session in a while, stringing was very very easy and I hit very good strings. Improved flip spinning and strong spinning. Worked on basics and bops. I'm very happy of the day I probably played for 4 hours and it was so frikken hot. Drank about 2L of water damn.
