Any basic tricks that you just can't hit?

Post by Tee H See »

I was wondering if any of you shredders out there have a certain trick that you just can't do. I for one have alot of trouble hitting clippers and I have friends that have very progressed style but can't hit certain basics like an outside or sole stall.

lets hear it!

I've hit double downs on both sides (not consistant, but it's happened), and blender on one side, but I've never hit a whirl on either side.

flip outside stall. First I thought I wouldn't need it and now I still think so. Though I've started to pay more attention.

(I can hit it almost every time but I don't have the same touch to it than I have with other stalls.)

I do my whirls wrong, and I can't seem to fix them. They really hurt my feet. I have hit whirl twice, total.

Just a plain old mirage I have issues with. I can symp. mirage and pdx mirage with no problem but just a mirage. I can hit it but it's really hard for me.

Also, a flip outside stall.
I think I going to take over Canada. You should help.

The last move that I really drilled hard was probably mirage or clipper.

As far as basic tricks, Pickups, Legovers, Pdx Mirages, Butteflies all came fairly to extremely easy too me. I think I hit pdx mirage like 5th time I tried it, so I'm always kind fo taken abackwhen people say they have problems with it.
