this sounds awesome for you mathieu, i hope you reach your goals. + nice improvements, i envy your endurance. don't rush with your ankle though.

Thanks for the compliment! It was great to meet up with you too. I wish I could have gone to the Tamtam Jam, but by the time I finished L'Hivernal it was looking yucky out. Plus, I wouldn't trade the post tourney beers and stories I partook of instead for anything. Ask Yves sometime about his dropless routine. I'll put a full write up in my blog. Anyway, big props on your motions and I'm totally jealous of your string length. I hope we shred again, sooner than later. Good luck with the job and Africa decisions also.

Cheers!

Hey Matthieu,

Je viens de regarder un peu la derniÃ¨re page de ton blog, et wow, t'as bien progressÃ© de ton cÃ´tÃ©.

Je devrais eventuellement Ãªtre de retour dÃ©but juin, pas sur encore. J'ai progressÃ© de mon cÃ´tÃ©, mais sans trop de nouveau tricks, je suis dans le travail de consistance pour les mooves de bases.

A+ et au tam-tam bientÃ´t j'espÃ¨re.

Merci des encouragements pere Gus!

I took 5 days off footbag last week. I'ts been over 10 months since the last time I took such a long period off footbag!

Shred on saturday, hung over from friday, played like total crap, but never got frustrated, I was looking forward to suck after being hungover.

Today was a really boring day, so I took my shoes, packed my stuff, and left to shred in a subway station. Small sess, but was doing better then the previous day. I need to shred hard this week and get back in shred focus. Some stuff happened this weekend that didn't help my shred, and over that, I didn't eat much lately which is also bad. One highlight, pheonix bsos.

I can't shred on tuesday, but will probably play every other day of the week. I really want to.

Grass is in two weeks, and I can go, looking forward to it, didn't think I was going to be able to do a tournament before worlds with my new job.

So we gonna have a session on thursday then!

Good for you that you took a break! And props on that phoenix bsos, was it your first time you bsos'ed it? I remember few time ago you told me you'd never done it, but no matter if it's your first or not.

funny solo session

some drunk guy kept telling me I should go to Cirque du soleil and make massive money out of footbag.

Even tough I said no way I do this for fun he kept saying I could make massive money. I tought it was funny since I could see in his eyes he really believed it, and seemed like he was "jaelous" about my "so called talent" thinking if he was "that good" that he could make massive money.

He offered me a beer while I was shredding. Cool guy, but I turned it down.

Still not sure about Worlds yet.

Uh-oh, does this make Chicago 4-square capitol of North America?

You don't need to ask me Zeke, you know it!

Today I had one of the most satisfying sessions ever. Everything felt good, if not, I tried again and again and whatever felt bad ended up good.

Got interviewed by 2 different persons on camera, one guy has a show on american television.

I love playing outside.

Yeah you tell that guy we play only for the love of the game - and the hordes of groupies.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 12 Apr 2007 21:08

I told him I play for money and that I hate it.

Today I drilled drifters for a while. new record : 7 consecutive. Hit many drifters combos I wanted to, both sides mostly.

In the past sessions I spend the last 10 to 20 minutes doing infinitys only.

I want to do 100 without too many problems, right now I struggle to reach 50. I want more consistency on that. I think it's a great way to help for longer strings. Maybe I'm wrong, but I like doing it.

MatS21 · Post by **MatS21** » 13 Apr 2007 05:22

7 consecutives, your improving a lot on that! Now step out of them! I want to see that! haha

Sorry that I didn't show up on yesterday. I was asked to work. We should have a session on thursday or tuesday next week ( for REAL this time

).

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 13 Apr 2007 07:22

I've been able to step out of strong drifter for a while already.. just not consistent.

MatS21 · Post by **MatS21** » 13 Apr 2007 07:26

Nice, nice, last time I asked you told me you we're not able and I don't recall seeing you do some. But been a while we didn't shred, I love how stepping out of drifter looks.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 13 Apr 2007 11:41

highlights of the day:
assassin bsos
9 consecutive drifters
vortexÂ»ripwalk

didnt try to do too many strings, but managed some really good ones.

nice tripod battle mathieu! You got my vote to win!

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 14 Apr 2007 00:46

thanks for the comment Hendog, means a lot to me, especially since I did that video quite fast .

I'm quite pissed since I just got home and realised I can't go to GRASS.

No point explaining why.

I can't choose what others decide, but it can surely piss me off.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 16 Apr 2007 14:09

spin mirage - assassin
drifter - ducking clip - drifter - spin clip - repeat

Sucks you can't go to Grass. I was looking forward to playing with you. Your tripod video was cool and it looks like you've gotten a lot better since NYJ.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 16 Apr 2007 18:06

Yeah well, I want to go, I could go, but I won't since Montreal players leave by car at 1PM and I finish work at 4PM.

I do not drive so I do not choose. Sucks to be me.

I'll just be even better by next time we meet!

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 16 Apr 2007 21:07

was footing like every smoke attempt too
