Spins are all in how straight you set it, how straight you keep yourself in relation to the straight set, how close you set it to yourself without letting it hit you, how far behind you you set the bag (too far in front and you have to spin farther), and most importantly, how quickly you swing your head around before your body to spot the bag faster.

Just a tip on spinning which I find help me when I have to drill spinning.

Blenders! Never even footed one!

I hit flip whirls, but really crappily.....damn whirling direction dexes!

My left atomics are always leggy unless I concentrate so much on it that I don't think of anything to follow with.

Flipside pixie is just so off and on I can't tell anymore.

Flipside mirage is troublesome.

Setman, you've hit maelstrom and symp. whirling swirl, but you can't do a flip clipper?

flip fairy set, flip quantum set. Though in truth I haven`t skooled them that much. My flipside pixie set should be way more consistent than it is. I think it all boils down to what Max said: flipside toe kick. I think if I had skooled flipside toe kick a lot back in the day, my flipside toe would just plain be way better. My clippers feel roughly even, but my left toe is definitely WAAAAAAAAY worse than my right toe, at everything.

all flip side stuff (spins downdoubles swirls etc.) but the trick I can't hit for the life of me on either side is ps eggbeater. And I've been trying it for years. Even had Ales personnaly give me tips at the last tourney we were both at...

my flip toe kick is ok though

EVERYONE: knock it off with the

With every kick and fuck up you are becoming one small iota better. There's not a damn thing to be 'oopsing' about.

I'm getting some shreddin kicks soon, so anything I'm unable to pull off is blamed upon my shoes for the time being.

Just keep training hard. You'll soon find out after you've learn't basic kicks properly that there's very, very much more practicing ahead.

I remembered one trick I can't hit anymore and it's Clipper Kick. Stalls and Jesters are ok (though my best part definitely isn't flyers) but old clipper kick doesn't go right.
