Best/Worst Part of your Game

Post by Slowsis »

What part of your game is the best? What stands out as far above your general shred level?

Also, what part of your game is far behind your general level? What do you wish you could hit to round out your game?

I'm talking tricks and concepts here...Whirls, Osis style tricks, Spinning, Ducking, Doubles, sets, whatever......


I'll start

Best: Uptime sets, can hit sailing bs, pixie and stepping ducking bs, frantic, symp quantum a few times 8O

Worst: Double dexs (other than barrage), Paradon, Barfly and Dod should all be butter for me by now, but they still feel nearly impossible. :x

Cool topic,

I'm good with ducking, spinning, gyro, inspinning, can do long dexless strings...

Can't hit alot of stepping and torque stuff, and weak at any kind of double dexes except out-in good side I learned in the beginning of my career.

ugh, osis is definately the weakest part of my game. i miss them so often even though they are so easy. I can't really say what the best part is. It's kind of all at the same level of mediocraty :lol:

Best part of my game - shuffle and multi dex tricks - especially pixie, stepping atomic sets - on both sides of course.

weakest part - spinning, swirls, consistancy.

Best part of my game: Shuffles (I'm a runner :P ) and I can step out of anything

Worst: I can't furious set or blender consistently, no matter how hard I've been working them.

best- strings, especialy dex free

worst- big moves, especialy shuffle

I think me and sergey would get along great!!

This topic would be more fun if we chose people and answered for them... I'll start:

Jermey Mirken:

best- squishing the bag down on his right toe with his left toe right before he tries some rediculouse move.

Worst- keeping the glasses on his head while trieing to shred like his pimp ass friend

This is hard!

I would probably say,

Best: overall variety and consistency with most concepts (downtime moves, dexless, shuffle, crossbody... etc. all quite bothsided)

Worst: big moves! and fearless, though it's improving

Best: both sidedness, variety, downtime tricks.

Worst: lack of consistency, shuffle, aggressive links.

I think you clipper stuff is decent. My wort part right now would be clippers, they are frusturating me so much, but for some odd reason I come closer to hitting butterflys than clippers. I think my toe game is my only half-decent area.

Best - *shrug* not sure about that.
Worst - spinning, one of my favorite concepts, and I'm horrible at it.
