nice Erik!

To spruce up your game more, I think you should add in some tricks like parkwalk and dimwalk to get back to clipper.

Also, toe rev whirl and pixie ss rev whirl are a couple moves I didn't see.

Rev Whirlygig b2b was solid.

the Ducking PS Mirage > Pixie Rev Whirl > rpt was killer

Thanks guys, and thanks for that feedback, Zac.
Truth be told, I hate my trick repertoire, and I whine about it every single session. I'm bored of my tricks and my links. I'm hoping to cross train and get my hips nice and stretched out so I can start throwing drifters again. And actually this particular session I DID specifically try to replace pixie clippers with dimwalks, and blurry clippers with ripwalks... I just cut the runs where I did that I guess

But thanks, I'm sick of seeing the same tricks too! I even made a list ahead of time that I tried to consult numerous times during the session, reminding me to do certain tricks and components. I guess I will have to slowly phase stuff in... It's tough when you only play once a week, if that. Muscle memory after 10 years is an unrelenting bitch goddess.

I think next session will be a less aggressive spinning and ducking, long run session, now that I've got that out of my system

I don't know if you did it because i asked, but the ducking s mirage> pix rev. repeat was sick. The slow motion on blurry s rev i was like "oh, ok... sick move", but then it stayed slow and when i saw you step out of it I was like, " no he didn't", and then "yes he did" and then "ahhhh" with the ducking revs

I loved this video.

I remember a different Erik Chan from videos of yesteryear, and I feel like no one could have predicted this. You looked like some kind of supershred bizarre style robot! it was awesome! music choice was perfect for the style.

Nice!!!

Oh wow, SO intense. I love how you have all variations of spinning and ducking moves down so well but don't rely on them. Like, you'll start off a run with some sick drill or awesome links and then, if you start to get tired, you'll start up with the spins/ducks.

Ducking symp. mirages, toe ducking, rev whirls... man, your game really stands out amongst the community of players. Tons of unique elements. Thanks for the vid!

bump

should've replied ealier, the video made me want to meet you even more, hope you're going to Prague? The coolest thing I felt watching it, how unique your game is, different than all the styles out there. You have to make it to Prague.

Yeah. It seems that I am one of the few North Americans who didn't bail on Worlds

Nice video Erik. The music and the shred was intense. I don't mind it that a lot of these strings had similar moves in them. You are very good at showing all of the ways one can get into moves and get out of them.

The ducking symposium miraging combos were incredible. Once again you have inspired me to train harder. My feet are not looking forward to tonight's session.

Peace.
