I was going through some of my place des arts footage from 2 weeks ago and crossed one of my "new" moves.

I think it's a cool move done in an inconventional way and I wanted to share it with my fellow readers.

Very cool move!
Harder than the symple version, i guess. Props mathieu
And nice tripod battle video . I loved it. Did you manage to hit void since the video?
I hope to shred with you again ; maybe at the French champs?

I didn't hit void for a while. I was schooling it that session on the video only. Hit it over a month ago.
I'm schooling drifters a lot right now, once I feel really good with them I'll go back on void.

Not going to french champs, saving my money for next year, I will travel for over a year.

Had a good outdoor session today.
Even tough it was coldish and windy, I managed to hit some stuff.

Some highlights is a 20 contact or so run with a lot of drifters, including 3 consec drifters starting from both sides.

Hit my drifter duck drifter spin rpt drill again

I now clitched that flip pixie ducking. I can do it midstring, got really close to phoenix bsos x 2 (footed 4th one)

pheonix - pdx mirage - rpt , starting from both sides.

can't recall the rest, but I'm looking forward to play tomorrow with better climatic conditions.

had a sess with mathieu today, was good not being alone for once, especially since I was a bit tired.

finally hit assassin - assassin

had a decent string with phoenix bsos and vortex

at the end of the sess I hit phoenix - pdx mirage - pixie weaving buter - pdx mirage - phoenix - pdx mirage - pixie weav drop

not too much drifters for today, but I hit my drifter drill again.

edit: forgot also alpine fear, wasn't too hard, took 4 attempts. First 3 where footed too

cant recall much of today besides it was an amazing session

so fun to watch Seb play, he barely plays but can still go really long with a lot of variety, and so smooth

I played good for most of the sess, about 4 hours of shred.

Had a scorpions tail midstring for the first time, that felt really good.

Looking forward to play tomorrow at tam tam

props on non-symple far rev swirl and mid-string scorps

Ahhh Tam tam was so much fun today! played for 4hours 30 mins aproximatly.

I can't beleive I got to wait another week to go back. Missing it already.

I hit so much stuff, played pretty well.

Some flip vortex, havent tried that in a while.

I was so exausted at the near end of the session that I was droping because I had no energy left, and couldn't breath anymore.

That's what I get for playing almost every day of the past two weeks. This was the first time I was dropping because of exaustion, but then again, it was some pretty long strings after 4 hours of play.

playing for almost 2 weeks is hard. I played for as many days as I could. But then work got in the way. I only made it to 6 days.

and I know im like a week behind. But I really enjoyed your tripod video. I hope you put out some more videos.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 23 Apr 2007 18:16

thanks for the kind words!

Today I played with a completely broken body, could'nt hit much, but I managed vortex bsos. In fact, flip vortex has been going better lately, I think I should try to hit my flip midstring more often

Tam-tam...

see you in june. A+.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 29 Apr 2007 19:16

Can't wait to play with you at tamtam this summer Augustin!

Today was my first sess in 4 days, but I got to tamtam by bike (around 1 hour)

Took a while to warm up, never got my rythym.

Managed assasin>pixie legover>repeat .. and a run starting with a 10+ contact of pixie shuffle.

HG · Post by HG » 30 Apr 2007 04:32

what is a pixie legover?

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 01 May 2007 16:48

So I`ve been using my bike to go to sessions now. This adds 1 hour of bike ride before the session.

Right now it`s really hard for me to try to do a long string, even by reducing tricks difficulty I drop faster then before. But I think this will help in the long run.

Today I was hitting pixie ss drifter and smoke on both sides way easier then before. Worked drifters for a while, then kicked with a random guy.

got 1 contact away from toe drifter>drifter>pdx mirage>repeat

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 02 May 2007 11:48

today I hit some new moves:
blurriest
blurry whirl (hit before but this one was clean)
porque
pixie same torque

both smokes and pixie ss drifter again a coupl eof times, some midstring forgot wich.

some long strings. felt good.

Ners · Post by **Ners** » 02 May 2007 14:29

Cool tricks, props Mathieu. It looks like you've reached the break point, and now your endurance and run lenght will go up and beyond!

I hope we can play some 4 square and shred at Euros, I look forward to seeing your game. Oh, and go for Blurry Torque

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 09 May 2007 13:29

Thanks Szymon, but I don't think I reached the break point yet.

I"ve been doing a lot of exercise at home for a while, mostly sit-ups.
In the past 2 or three months, I lost about 8 pounds. I would have lost more with a diet, but I gained more muscle.

So I got really sick last weekend, tried to play but was'nt worth trying. Went back home. I was so sick I could barely eat. I lost 8 pounds in the weekend, doubling what I lost in the past 2 or three months.

So today was my first session in almost a week, and the lost weight was really showing, hit some stuff I wanted to hit for a while without too many problems. I'll keep doing exercise at home, hopefully loose another 20 pounds in the next 6 to 10 months, from there I think footbag will be a lot easier.

some stuff today: pixie same drifter bsos
assassin>phoenix both sides, almost bsos , hit my head and droped the last phoenix..
phoenix>pdx torque on first try.

and many long runs I had to stop on since I'm still not 100% energywise.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 10 May 2007 12:52

todays session;
first half was great, then I sucked, then hit some ok strings to finish it.

I had some strings with more then 3 5's and many 4's. I remember a run with alpine fear, assassin, phoenix both sides, gyro dlo. another with ripwalk>torque>pdx whirl midstring.

finally hit my spin/gyro osis combo: osis> gyro osis>spin osis>gyro osis>spin osis>sealed with a run.

could'nt get past 3 consec spinning osis.

Maybe I'll play tonight.

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 10 May 2007 18:28

second sess of the day with James the man.

I hit my osis combo again sealed with a run with a bunch of other zooms.
pheonix>pdx torque again
pdx drifter bsos, been a couple of sess's since I tried that, flip pdx drifter felt good tonight,
spin buter>pdx drifter
a lot of torques, I need to learn flip torque... I'm starting to do bigger windows on my torques and I feel much more confident with them.

No more footbag until sunday for me.

james · Post by **james** » 11 May 2007 03:26

Your torques are looking good. You can never have too much torque
