No just working some old stuff, between swimming and school, I can maybe get a hour shred in tops most days, so it's mostly maintainance, but I'm working on fitting in another hour timeslot in the morning. As for moves I've been hitting, how about these bad boys, legover, mirage and corpsegrinder. Yeah, Nothing to special latley I will post when I feel it's deserving enough.

yep. well yesterday I hit my first drifter which was pretty sweet. I consider that like my first real move

edit: from a clipper set, that is. I think it'd be cool to see a drifter/torque from a stepping set. you could call the torque one a storque

Haha, stepping drifter/torque already have names I'm afraid. Stepping drifter=tombstone and stepping torque=gravedigger. Your name was good tho too :wink:

I like the name given to quantum torque. It's called Quark

When I first saw Reid hit spinning voodoo I thought, that just shouldn't be possible (voice cracking) :lol:


I have a hard time even thinking about that move. I must see it over thanksgiving.


Edit: I've seen Reid hit ducking pdx torque (long time ago) and I believe ducking barfly as well.

ducking torque yes a few times, ducking barfly once, tried many times after that to no success, ducking drifter I've been close to , and ducking eggbeater I have not tried. a couple more weeks than thanksgiving people, hopefully we'll be able to line up a session.

solo session today, pretty much worked a little on torques, and then worked on runs. Nothing too exciting though, didn't attempt any new tricks, or any five adds in that matter. Kept it simple.

Had a long session today with Scott Hollander and Joe Brady. Everything was feeling on. PS whirls and vortices :) all over the place. Atomic set getting better. Stepping finally feeling as easy as pixie. Skooled flurry to death and hit it numerous times. Such an amazing feeling move. I will try to hit it flipside soon.

Session with Kevin and Phil today. Kevin hit toe drifter a few times.


Alright boys, inspired by Will and Reid of the FTB I finally hit voodoo (well, set from a toe at least). Next time I kick I will try to hit it paradox (a real voodoo).

I've been kicking only with Mr. Sandbags lately. I don't mind them overall, but it really is more difficult to duck a stepping set with a floppy sandbag than it is with an abshire or something. Anyways, I also hit 10 consecutive spinning clippers on both sides. Also inspinning clipper BSOS. Later boyz.
