I hit Janiwalker at last! It took many tries but I can finally bust a barraging set on my left side. I think if I school it on the right side it will actually be easier on that side. I also hit Tap>Atomsmasher>repeat. That drill feels really sweet. I worked a lot on flipside eggbeaters, hit matador both sides, tombstone both sides. And holy crap I just looked out the window and it's finally snowing again!

Nice Will. Barraging and nuclear sets. Sick


I had a session today with Kevin. He's improving a lot right now. He hit whirl flipside a couple times. Plus one monster run with pixie legover bsos, dlo, and whirl.

I've been thinking about my flipside spins a bit lately, and trying to figure out how to stop pulling them. I think they're looking better now. Also I'm trying to make my barrages super clean now. I hit flurry today, Kevin said it looked fine but I'm not sure.

Also I threw weaving clipper into my runs a lot today on both sides. It's a fun move. Plus some good toe stuff like smear>pixie pickup>repeat

Later all

Had a long solo session today...

Blurry Whirl > Spinning Whirl > PS Whirl
That's my first 5>5>5 of all uniques!
Fusion both sides!
Pixie paradon BSOS
Down Double Down BSOS

[Chim-Chim]

impressive..

fusion.. is that double atomic or fairy atomic set?

[Not-so-ripped Warrior]

Fusion is atomic double-over-down. You're thinking of the set FUSING, which is fairy atomic.

Oh and by the way I hit rubberman again the other day with a sandbag. And I hit 5 contacts of it starting on my other side. It took many attempts but felt pretty good overall.

[slapdash21]

nice on rubberman....i want to hit that SOO bad

[Reid]

Session with bishup today


some good stuff, mainly a mellow get back into to playing after a week break session, but some good stuff.

toe drifter>barrage>double legover> repeat>to some stuff

[The Actual Sized E]

You guys are all so good now!!!
Nice job on the 3 fearless contacts and fusions Will. Also on Jani Walker, Tom and I have been racing to see who could hit that move first since summer, but neither of us can do a furious set yet . Props on rubberman Eric, that is such a hard combo. You should try blubberman, you quantum pretty well both sides right?

[Reid]

Session with b ishup... barfly pswhirl bsos

[SlickProtege]

I know it was swell...I saw it...but I did hit Phoenix BS..sweet moses' staff!!

[Not-so-ripped Warrior]

Keep schoolin' them atom smashers Peter. If you school it, rubberman will come.


I don't know about blubberman quite yet Reile. I haven't done much quantum stuff in a while. Although I was going for a frantic set today on my strong side. Really hard! I should probably just stick to quantum for a while.


My toe game is really improving! Lots of cool stuff I'll mention more later.

[SlickProtege]

Eric by the way...your videos are histerical! and awesome at the same time..good stuff.

[Not-so-ripped Warrior]

Thanks Eric.

Okay quick 45 min session today.
I hit:

gyro clipper>weaving clipper>dlo BSOS

whirr BS

stepping ss clipper>stepping opp clipper>repeat to about 8 contacts

pixie pickup>smear>repeat to about 8 contacts

3 consecutive atomsmashers


gotta run, peace

[SlickProtege]

What is ripped warrior?

[Reid]

eric ripped warior is stepping ducking butterfly

[SlickProtege]

oh!

[Rockey]

Good stuff Siegel. I just one-upped you by hitting 4 consecutive atomsmashers though

I hit Tripwalk > Blur > Toe Blur both sides so I think I'll be able to hit Blubberman soon.
And yes I was kicking outside today it was so damn warm out. January in Wisconsin... ridiculous.

Nice sig eric.

[Not-so-ripped Warrior]

Another short 45min session with Kevin because he had to leave and meet up with some friends. Still had time for some fun stuff tho. Lots of knee bumps, they are fun.

And as promised Will, I did hit 4 consecutive atom smashers Until an FTB member breaks that record I think I'll take a rest from that move for a while.

Kevin hit pdx mirage to symposium mirage at the end of a long string. And he hit that link on both sides which is nice. Later y'all

[Reid]

alright solo session, worked a bunch of things: mobius, frigid, atomic, spinetc. anyway I felt like I accomplished many things figured out some things.
4 atomsmashers followed by atomic butterfly. No Ftb record but still felt good. Had a good drifter> spin>repeat drill I can't remember how many times I went through it but it was pretty good at least thrice. Barraging legover(Fury?) both sides a couple times. frigid mobius both sides. One side came easy other many attempts. i figured out my ducking paradox whirl on my weak side, I was able to hit it four attempts in a row with my new method, and on a couple I was able to duck out of it to my other side. I did not go fro tomohawk> tomahawk today though I have linked them before, but the ones before had a a very wild ducking set and I was reaching on the whirl. The ducks out of my tomohawks today wher controlled, Next session depending on how I'm feeling I will try linking them. Hopefully three or more. That would be slick, like butter.

oh and I gave my footfighter a bath.

[Not-so-ripped Warrior]

Just had a MAMMOTH 2 hour solo session. I felt great and my body was well rested. Mostly worked single tricks but went on a couple strings. Here are the highlights:

atom smasher>smog

pdx mirage>smog>dimwalk>run with pixie whirl BSOS

whirling swirl BSOS

flurry BS (first time ever on my flipside )

torque>torque>torque (of the foot)

spikehammer BSOS


That's probably the most sick stuff I've ever hit in one session before. I consumed a great deal of water to make that possible. I'll probably take a couple days off now because my application to get into the Elementary Education program at U of I is due this Wednesday and I still haven't started it Catch you all later. Happy shredding!
