Hey Tom, thanks a lot 
I'm working hard and I'm happy with the results. Today we played outside again, it was a little windy, but it all turned OK. Damian Budzik played with us hitting some cool stuff (Eggbeaters and Blenders everywhere ). I just shredded during most of the session, and when Damian, Gosia and Hania went home, and only me and Olaf stayed to play, I worked on some drills with him.
We worked on Dimwalk > Blur (rpt), Sidewalk > Ripwalk (rpt), Butterfly > Pdx Mirage > Symp. Mirage (rpt), and after that we did consecutive Drifters. I'm not very good at them, and my record was something near 7
It's hard to stay balanced while doing them! After some drilling I decided to try some new tricks with Drifters, and hit:
Vortex BS
Tombstone BS
Void BS
It was pretty funny, because I footed my strong Void many times, and when I hit it I said with a relief "Cool, now I only hit it on my flipside and I can go home
". My flip Spin is not very controlled, so I didn't think that I'll actually hit it. I tried and landed it first try That made me laugh I need to work on my variety more - my game is really predictable. That's a long term goal for the future!

My bag is named Hamburger It's because of the colors, it really looks like a BigMac I think I have it on a photo, I'll look for it...
...It looks like I don't have a photo with it
You'll have to trust me, it does look like a Hamburger I've hit one new trick - Gyro DLO, I'll have to try it on the other side on my next session! The weather is getting worse, so on Friday we're going to play in our gym. And on Saturday, we'll most probably have a camera with us! Expect a trailer of Fire Jam tournament soon

I had a nice session today. In the beggining I was feeling weak and dropping heavily, but toward the end everything started to work. I think it's because I'm switching bags right now. The one I've been playing with is pretty big and floppy. It's not good for sets, but it stalls easy. I don't want to play with it anymore, because it's not good for my form. So now I'm getting used to my new Footfighter. It's a good bag, all sets are much easier with it. I just need to concentrate more on cushioning (sp?) while doing delays.
I worked on many things today Double Spinning went first, I hit some controlled Double Spinning Clippers and Double Spin Osis once. I was also very close to Double Spin Clip on my flipside. Just for fun I tried Double Spin Pdx Whirl, and was suprised to come pretty close.
Then I worked on my Dexless tricks. Ducking and Diving felt very strong today. I hit Ducking Clip > Diving Clip (rpt) x2 if I remember good, and Ducking Clip > Diving Clip (rpt) > Ducking Clip > Spinning Ducking Clip > something Dexless strings are fun!
After that I schooled my Whirls and Drifters a little bit, then Torques and Blenders (missed the handcatch for Pdx Blender > Pdx Blender
).
Tommorow there is another session and hopefully more players will come (today only me and Olav shredded).

Nice session today, I feel tired I came close to Mullet > Mullet, I think if I try some more I'll hit it soon - that would be my first 6>6 combo I also did a run with Blur > Toe Blur and the other Blur > Atomsmasher - it felt cool. I'm trying to incorporate more unique stuff to my combos.
When we were doing tricks from the fundamentals list, after hitting Spinning Osis BS, I tried Double Spinning Osis and hit it first try
Funny Ducks and Dives are really cool. I worked on my Drifters and Pdx Whirl - if I remember good I hit Drifter > Drifter > Pdx Whirl > Pdx Whirl and Pdx Whirl x4 midstring.
I worked on my routine too. It's slowly starting to look good. I still need to practice the part near the middle-end. I think it will be a good routine

I thought that I will play badly today because of going a bit too hard yesterday, but as it turned out I had so much energy! I didn't feel so strong for a long time. I could throw more 5's in my strings and longer shuffle then usual.
I really like shuffle combos with Pixie and Stepping Legovers, like: Magellan > Parkwalk > Shmoe > Dimwalk > Shmoe > Butterfly > Stepping Legover > Quantum Legover > something I remember a nice combo with Blurry Whirl BS, PS Whirl BS, Janiwalker and dropped Spinning Pdx Whirl. My spins also felt good today, and I hit Spinning Clipper > Inspinning Clipper few times midstring.
Then I worked on tricks from the Fundamentals list. I hit all the tricks on it, but I still miss flip Bedwetter, flip Fog, flip Pixie Paradon and flip Scorpion's Tail to complete it. When I'll do this it will be a great milestone for me. The worst of those tricks is flip Bedwetter because I've never really practiced my flip Eggbeater. I think I can hit the other ones if I work on them some more.

Yeah Hania, I guess it became a habit. I just don't think anymore while writing the signature I couldn't find any word that could substitute Pozdrawiam so I just don't write anything
I had another good session today. After some strings, when I was tired I worked on my fearless links. Well, maybe it's a too big word - I worked on hitting 5's out of Blurry Whirl Here are the results:
Blurry Whirl > Mobius BS
Blurry Whirl > Tomahawk BS
Blurry Whirl > Pdx Blender BS
Blurry Whirl > Blurriest BS
I think that schooling links like those above will lead me to some nice Sick3 combinations. I already have some ideas I'll finally have a little break from playing. Not that I don't want to play anymore, but after 5 days of shredding my legs are not feeling very confident I don't want to injure myself. So, next shred on Friday!

Outside shred again today I was really eager to kick so I went through the warmup pretty fast and started to shred. New stuff:
run > Ripwalk > Ripwalk > run > Blurry Whirl > Blurry Whirl > run > PS Whirl > PS Whirl > off balance handcatch
Drifter > Drifter > Drifter > Drifter > Pdx Whirl > Drifter > drop on Pdx Whirl
PS Whirl > Spinning Clipper BS
I was close to Blender > Torque midstring, that's a sweet link. One of my friends from school came and watched me play. I explained him some stuff about our sport, and then I did a little "add demo" I said:
"this is a one add trick" - and hit toe stall. Then ATW, Butterfly and Ripwalk as tricks from their add categories. Then I tried to hit my strong PS Whirl, dropped, tried flip PS Whirl, dropped and finally hit Blurry Whirl for a five After that I did a little better hitting Mullet and Montage first try That felt good! Another shred tommorow - there is a Net Jam here in Wrocław and there will be some freestyle players too - it's going to be so cool!

Netbag Jam was a blast! There were players from Strzelin, and we did some hardcore shredding. I hit two new tricks:
Symp. Torque
Pixie Ducking Symp. Whirl
I'm really happy about the second one, because it's a not-so-common 6. I did some nice runs too, I remember one with Blurry Whirl > PS Whirl BSOS, and another with DLO and Gyro DLO (with my flip DLO ). My shuffle felt very solid today today too.
I played some Net, it's fun But I don't think I could work to play it profesionally. Freestyle already takes all my free time Of course that doesn't mean that I won't try some spikes from time to time just for fun . Frisbee is (after footbag freestyle) the best thing in the world! I could finally play it and I got totally hooked! I'm considering buying one so I could take it to school and toss it with my friends during brakes. The feeling when you do a nice pass is a bit like doing a good run
Next session tommorow!

Awesome job on the new moves man! Sounds like you had a blast! Frisbee is so much fun to play too (next to footbag, of course ). I love playing frisbee; once you get into frisbee, you should try frisbee golf (frolf), it's soo much fun! Anyways, your blog is a great read! Can't wait for more from you!

Hey Krafty, thanks a lot! I'm going to try frisbee golf as soon as I meet with my friends, it sounds like a really cool idea. I already have some ideas in my head that could make it even more fun I have borrowed a frisbee from my friend Adam and took it to school - all my classmates loved it, and we played outside during almost every break.
So time to input some data to my progress tracking device:
Vortex > Mobius
flip Fog (another trick off the list )
Blurry Whirl > Blur > Pixie Whirl midstring
I think I should work on Superfly, but after some attempts I begin to "feel" my ankle and knee, so I'm not shure if it's a good idea. I probably do it with bad form and that's the cause.
I think the hardest downtime component is Torque. When you do the regular version, or even Mobius, it's doable, but when it comes to Pdx Torque... I don't know how people can throw them in runs so easily and without any loss of balance But on the other hand I'm shure that if I would school them they would become easier, like every other trick. Maybe someday I'll do that .
Shred tommorow! Can't wait. Footbag is so cool! (To be honest I'm a bit surprised that I'm still so enthusiastic, even though I've been playing for some time... It just rules )

You are an insnane kid, Ners! Vortex > Mobius? B. Whirl > Blur > Pix. Whirl midstring? No questions...
And about Superflies... Now you know, why I don't drill Superflies so hard as I drilled them befor I've hit it for first time... It's just isn't the move to school over and over. I just think that the good strenght/technique paramets come with time, by drilling Barflies and some Symposium moves.

I had a great session today! I hit a very nice run which went like that:
Symp. Mirage > run > Whirl > Drifter (rpt) > run > Ducking Clip > Diving Clip > run > Gyro Mirage > Butterfly (rpt) > Merkon > Butterfly (rpt) > run > Ducking Clip > Spin Clip (rpt) > run > Pdx Whirl > Whirl (rpt) > straight to my hand
It was such a great feeling! I also hit Foot Processor midstring, and a
run with Drifter > Drifter > Vortex and Pdx Drifter > Down Double Down.
I should work on Stepping Ducking, because I would like to hit Alpine Blurry Whirl, I think I'll do it tommorow. My flip pixie sucks and I have a hard time with Torques . I also worked on my new routine. It should be good if I'll school it more. Today I managed to do it with one drop once.
There is a shredders gathering in Strzelce Opolskie on 4th June. It's going to be so cool! I can't wait.

Today session was OK, no hardcore stuff, mainly just chilling and doing things for fun. We played One Add Trick, and many mind boggling (sp?) manuvers were done, Including Neck Catch set Side of the Head Delay, Pixie Sole Kick, Flying Clipper set Pincher or Clipper set Dragon Kick Hania did some really cool combos today, I remember one with Ducking Butterfly > Pdx Whirl, both Ripwalks, Sidewalk and really nice Spinning Clipper. I was close to Torch-R-Rack (it is the nickname of Stepping Far Superfly? I'm not shure). Olaf totally hit Marius He's crazy But he should work on his strings more (what am I talking about he has been playing for half a year ). Another session tommorow, maybe I'll hit something interesting

Awesome shred today! Here are some highlights:
Diving Osis BS
Ducking Osis BS
Zulu Clipper BS
I've never tried this kind of tricks and they are definitely cool
Blurry Whirl > Foot Processor
Mobius > PS Whirl
Blurry Drifter > Blurry Whirl
Alpine Blurry Whirl BS
I also remember a really good run, with Foot Processor, PS Whirl, both Blurry Whirls and drop on Pdx Blender. It looks like David Clavens footblog really motivated me to go harder . Now I'm having a three day brake from playing, so next shred on Friday. Maybe til then I'll think up some cool combos to try out

Hey franek! It's great to see you here Maybe you could start your own footblog? That would be cool
We had an outside session today and it was pretty long. I don't think I hit anything worth to mention, but I had much fun Damian Budzik played with us and busted some hardcore strings. Hania hit Blurry Whirl BS again and I remember her combo of Pdx Whirl > Rev Swirl midstring done like a cake
After shred we ate some Knysza (I don't know how it's called in english, it's basically a big drilled piece of bread filled with lots of vegetables, sauces and some meat - good stuff ) and met some nice guys who were probably right after their graduation exams Another session tommorow!

Good sesh today. I Hit Blurry Whirl > Blurry Whirl > PS Whirl > PS Whirl > Pdx Blender, and some nice shuffle runs - my shuffle felt really good and consistant today. I should try to make my rus more varied but it's hard.
Tommorow we're going to have a camera and film some shred. And the day after tommorow too! Expect a new vid soon
