SHRED SESSION: 20081111:
Remembrance Day shred.
Had another laid-back session. Was gonna shred with Marita, but she got an unexpected long distance phone call. I played about 1-1.5 hours. It was really fun. Pain-free again, though I felt tenderness and avoided drifters for my hip, and big stepping tricks for my shins. I did lots of different things. I'll cap some highlights:
-Porque BSOS (dropped on gravedigger)
-Mobius > blurry rev whirl [both sides] (dropped the rev whirl on BSOSing it)
-Double switchover BSOS (starting from both sides; this is a completely new trick for me. Very different.)
I seem to think there were more highlights.
I started with the usual warm up, and then tried some stepping diving again. Did good on one side (the tougher diving side, but better ducking side), but the other kinda hurt my shins so I stopped. I drilled a bit semi-Anssi-esquely. I did 25 rev swirls each side (like, as many as I can before dropping, then picking up and immediately continuing). I did 4 inna row at one point on my flip, which is the most I've ever done, and my record on good side is only 3, I'm pretty sure. Cool! Started to do this for torques too, but lost the energy and got sloppy, so stopped. I schooled gyro butterflies a bit too, 'cause they are curiously tough. I did gyro butterfly > diving clipper [repeat] X3, I think. I wanna be able to warm up with gyro butterfly > spinning butterfly [repeat]. Tough! Ended the session with a 110 guiltless. Oh, I also played around with illusions, which I never did because they are the and hurt my knees. I figured a way that I think may be clean for peak-time illusions, but I'm not sure if anything is clean... But I'm excited to start throwing some of those, 'cause that's another styley element that so many people avoid.
Non-footbag-wise I had a super great day off. Lots of relaxing in pajamas. Reading comics, and I had this crazy drawing kick where I got amazingly inspired and drew three pages in my sketchbook. One page I'm really, really happy with! Uhh. Yeah. Gonna sleep now.
