watching the vid reminds me how much rusty I am from not playing much, but still pleasant to see some progress anyhow :D

I may have hit my first flip symp whirl today, not sure if there was a dex tough, not filmed and it's dark in the basement.

Anyways, it's still so hard to even try that it does'nt really count in my mind, but still happy that I may have hit one :D

Might get a gym membership for 3 months, open 24h so I know I could get some shred time more often, will highly consider getting membership this week

got a one year membership at the local gym, I can access 3 other gyms that are close by as well, and two are 24hours! So I can play more often now and with a way better room then my basement!

Played ok today, was fun to play in a big room that does'nt slip (first time since outdoor shred last summer)

almost 2 hours sess today!

highlights:
pixie everything first try
footed flip bullwhip
barfly-pdx drifter both sides, can probably repeat with a lot of work
run with 35 contacts first try
3 consec barfly again

tried a link that felt johnny sudderman style: barrage-fairy muted clip-symple rev swirl-osis-spin clip-gyro symple rev swirl, could'nt get it together at the last trick, but could easily split parts, just missing confidence I guess.

Overall a lot of fun, very glad I got this gym membership, the room is amazing, lots of space, and nobody in it :D

Flights to Montreal are super expensive!

Porter airlines seem to have some of the better deals.

another 1hour sess

I think new: alpine scorpions tail
ddd-flip barfly ( I think I now hit any combination of the two)
blurriest b2b, but 2nd is probably the

almost new:
1 contact shy of barfly-pdx drifter-rpt

almost repeat old achievements:
1 contact shy of plasticman starting with barfly
1 set shy of a run with every set (step/pixie/fairy/atomic/quantum, missed last quantum, out of energy)

had a lot of fun, started my warmup in front of 5 sexy girls stretching, managed to get me a 20 tiltless warmup string build up to 30 more contacts guiltless before a hand catch and some small props from the girls, that was better for the confidence then any other trick I hit :P

le sous-sol c'est un bon plan B, mais j'aime pas sa jouer dedans, le gym c'est 100 fois mieux et plus motivant!

Nothing much, but beat my barfly record, 5 consec :D

still working on an every-set drill, got 7 contacts of blur-fairy ss mirage-smear-tap-tripwalk-rpt

also cool link: symple rev swirl-ripwalk

fun times again, even tough I hit the 30`s :D
