Im getting better! Gonna session tommorow!

I had another battle this afternoon.This time it was smooth :D i didnt get nervous and feelt the funk.I battled 2vs2 b-boying and 1 on 1 popping.


2 vs 2 was fun.I teamed with some little boy, one mate i know offered me him as a pair i didnt have pair and didnt want to look for and didnt really care too.We battled against 2 b-girls :D that was hella fun.I hope there will be a video in the internet.Id love to see it.Anyway my set got some cheering from the crowd 8)


popping was harder since my battle was frist and i did against the winner who is really good :D he was like come get me at the start(when we decide who goes first) and i was like yeah bring it on :lol: and did quite well also got the crowd.

I lost all the battles but i feelt super pleasant with myself. Anyway ill be killing them in a few years when ill bust out ripstein>ripstein>whirling swirl in the middle of my dance or DSC.. and bust it out hitting the beats

Allright i didnt find the video.Oh well fuck it.

Yesterday i tryed to kick but my knee wasnt feeling comfortable, it didnt hurt but i decided to stop playing.I just danced the whole session, drilling freezes and shit.

Today though i feelt great! I hit plasticman and everything was nice with the knees.I even did step clip>sidewalk>step clip>ripwalk>rpt>blurry whirl i didnt do blurry whirls for like 1-2 months 8O im not even stepping it up ussually .Feelt good hitting swirl war.

Got pumped to hit pdx torque>torque>rpt but didnt suceed , but! I did get 3 contacts bs.Also hit pdx drifter>pdx torque bs.

I didnt like playing outside tuesday.The bag gets dirty,windy,dirty hands and no music :?

No shred tomorrow since its a day off and all the places are closed and its cold outside.Gonna dance found more locking tutorials.Oh darn im pumped for all the shit.I so hope that ill have to spend little time in Uni :lol: i may sound stupid but i dont really care about the materealistic aspect of life i just want to shred/dance/do music/create stuff.Thats why im going to learn social work and work in a youth centre when i finish university.Ill be getting like 9000 krones per month thats like 850 USD.Not much but enough for a living but ill be able to spend like 1-3 hours for myself during the work day.Now how fucking amazing is that?!? Just chilling on your work? Juggling/popping/drilling swirls )) and at the same time doing your job as in teaching and inspiring kids to obtain skills.

Well actually the 1st of May was quite cool! :D

The weather was very nice all day long.I got up at 9 and went to have a session at 11, i danced and trained tricks for atleast an hour and stretched out.

3 hours later at the same spot i played footbag.My knees feelt great.

Later in the late evening i had a popping session.

Saturday - first yoga class, i was doing a little bit by my own before.After the class i've asked if i remembered all the exercises we did.She was like yeah right and we talked a bit more.She gave a paper.A nice little asana complex.Which i did later before going to sleep and sunday morning.A dancing session toke place saturday night too.

Feelt super smooth after doing the complex, im getting into stretching regulary and enjoying the process alot! Had a footbag/b-boying session at 3 till 7 :wink:

Footbag highlights from the past sessions:
Swirl war
Toe set near symple swirl>whirl>far swirl>blender (maybe bs, maybe one side and really close on the other)
Blender>rev walkover>op symple swirl on dead contact bs
very close to fairy dlo>smog and pixie ss dlo>pixie dlo bs
Nice pdx torque>torque drilling (really feeling how a loose back helps with torques)

B-boy highlights
elbow freeze>hand stand>hollow back freeze - pulled this one off 2 times during the weekend.

Not many people care about b-boying.Oh well.


My financial situation is so sucky :( and all of the income hopes are ruined.Busking has been impossible for atleast 10 days now too, stupid rains and cold.


Well i just hope something will happen.I want to make it to Berlin.

Some footbag stuff i remember: fairy dlo>pixie dlo bs,fairy merlin, pigbeater>plo>pigbeater, all in socks. Would be cool to hit fairy dlo>pixie dlo>pixie ss dlo>rpt in socks. Jumpy combo

Did i mention that i've started working towards recovering my eye sight? Im making cool progres.I rarely wear glasses and thus need a huge font size in msn i used 72 in the beggining now im on 26! I hope to have 100% eye sight by July.I had -7 8O

Downloaded Dungeon Keeper 2.Been playing my ass in the night time :D

I thought the video was fun but I know nothing about it, sorry :P

How do you go about making your eyesight better? Just decreasing the font size gradually?

Alexander Orlov came to stay for a few days! We had a blast today! Everybody was busting huge!

I dont remember any string details but i do remember hitting stepping ss dyno>pdx torque bs, new link! I've also did some b. whirls, stepping ss whirls and paradon swirls! I didnt try these tricks for quite a long time!

Seems that my yoga practice does help the joints!


Here's a small video of me dancing again.But it's a different style of dancing than on the other video.This one is popping.Drop some comments people :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK9ewiqdjIQ

Going to take part in a TopRock battle tommorow.I will try to film it, hopefully i will unleash my secret move with a symple swirl and you'll get to see it in action!

Quite a while since i've posted here.

I didnt play much during august -mid september. I actually dont know why.Then if started shredding more cause i felt lack of progress and out of shapeness.Once i got back on track a get hit by a back injury i didnt play for a month+.

Hopefully ill be able to get back to training slowly in week or two.


In general life is allright, my first year of university is good as i expected it to be.Not to much stress from it.
