Matt, to remove the finns on the inside:

get a brand new razor blade. at the VERY top and very bottom of the fins, there is the thinnest and easiest / safest to cut plastic. Don't cut the fin at it's full thickness, that's just pointless and will be more likely to make a hole in the mesh because it's more difficult and you can't see when you're all the way through as well. MAKE SURE you don't cut through the mesh, because it's VERY EASY to tear once you've made a cut.

next, CUT THE STITCHING on the fat fin closest to the toe. If you don't do this, you could rip a huge hole in the mesh as you yank that fin off.

next, get some pliers that are very strong and have VERY pointy tips (fat tips are much harder to use).

once you've made the cut through the thin parts, and you have your pointy pliers, grip the fin at the thick part near the top cut that you made, and YANK!!!!!

if you haven't cut through the mesh, yanking will not rip it. if you DO cut through the mesh, try not to cut through the mesh on the bottom end of the same fin, and rip from that end instead of the top.

Matt, Clima's play okay with fins still on, but they are a MILLION TIMES BETTER with the fins removed... just so you know. :D

almost 3 consecutive symp whirls.. 3rd was on foot!
Nick teached me symp whirling swirl, I did'nt hit it, but I defenetly know what I did wrong and what to do
Footed ps whirl,, its close!
played for 10 mins in clima's .. ok toe stalls are really hard for now, shoe need breaking in for sure, and I need practice! but the clipper area is unreal, I doubled my consecutive osis record on first try?? from 4 to 8 ! While not being warmed up.. yeah.. nice shoes! Toes are annoying me to use them, but way more inspiring then my gaynits :D

tonights cool combo : Ripwalk>Reaper
a not so bad flip ripwalk tonight, but it's still prettybadwalk kindish

horrible session tonight
One good thing :
Diving clip > ducking clip > repeat
about time I hit that, been 5 months at least...

otherwise the crappiest session ever, could hardly link 3 moves, could easily link 10 swears!

out of nowhere clean flip pixie sets?
new stuff on flip:
*magellan
smudge
parkwalk
*dimwalk
*pixie pickup
*pixie legover
pixie muted ss mirage
*smear

* stands for new as in clean, I've hit those before unclean

this brought me to :
magellan bsos
dimwalk > pdx mirage > repeat!
Smear bsos
pixie legover bsos
pixie pickup bsos

ok no flip pixie midstring yet, all those bsos means I started on flip one.. but hey it's all good

I think mobius is easier then torque (I'm closer I think)

Oh well flip pixie was like before, no more tuesday magic! Had a few good sets but no way as close to tuesday consistency
had a good string with like 8 osis's in it, both side of course..
also hit ducking clip > ducking clip > spining clip > run
I wanted to do ducking clip > osis > infinity > rpt but was always fucking up on the flipside part.. ive done both sides but not repeat..
