Your whirls looked good to me, Henry. The motion was very fluid and done with the ankle, as it should be.

I'm working on DODing at the moment too (well, sorta), so I can't comment too much on that, but it looked like you had everything except the positioning on the clipper. I'm sure you'll get it soon!

For you avid readers of my blog (me :roll: ) i have finally hit some things that are EXTREMELY difficult for me.


Anssi, if you're reading this you will love me now.




PARADON BS

and a few days ago

TOE WHIRL BS!


WOOOOOOOOOOOhoooooooo



During soccer we had 3 teams of 8. 2 would play eachother while the other team had a break. During our break, i whipped out a facile revolution bag. In my cleats i hit double around the world and then proceeded to hit double switchover in the SEALING RUN. Thats the first time i ever hit double switch. 8O


So i tried some double downs in cleats, clipper stalls are so hard. I was getting the dexes easy.


I get home, strap on my lavers. HIT STRONG PARADON 7TH TRY. clean too :D

I hit flip paradon after like 50 tries. it still feels awkward, but it is getting better :twisted:

I also hit whirl>ducking clip repeat from both sides




overview

toe whirl bs like 5 days ago

well first of all, you didnt post the direct link. thats annoying.

I will watch the vid now.

ok: tips for the paradon.
dont try to lift your dexing leg so inward making the dex like an illusion because it doenst give you much time to complete the second dex or catch the bag. Also, bring your catching leg towards the bag earlier.

whirls: try to point your knee outward a bit more. i dont really have anything else to say about them

props on the new stuff btw! :D
Hopefully back one day.

Props!!!!

Nice video. Way to go on the whirls, I knew you could own those once your knees felt better. Keep it up. :D

thanks everyone! Im glad people actually watch my videos 8)



I have had 3 sessions today. I forget what i hit in the 2nd, but my 3rd, which i just got done with produced a lot of good



I was doing drifters, just back and forth. I got 2 or 3 almost every time, and i got 5 once!
Im not sure if thats my record, but it felt great. My drifters are getting back to where they were in the middle of summer. Yes!

Then i remembered that i suck at toe stuff. So i decided to go for PLO>DLO repeat. After 4 or 5 tries i had gotten 3 contacts into it. Like... my 10th try i hit it into a pretty long run! It feels so cool to hit that whole combo. pixie legover>DLO repeat. I felt like mulroney when doing my DLOs 8)

That was phat to the max Henry. The music was oldskool as. I like your runs now. Your flip whirl looks a bit barrage-ish but I'm sure that will improve. Nice run length, spins and ducks. spinningclip>ripwalk was my fave because your stepping is so much better now.

props to henry :D
Hopefully back one day.
