ive been playing 7-8 months, recently quit smoking for the nth time (but this time im really gonna do it) and havent been progressing really fast until recently. i play with a sandman and am really starting to reap the benefits of playing for such a mediocre amount of time.
tuesday 9/28 at around 10pm
this session was solely concentrated on anything torque related and anything spinning related.
i tried flux(clip>op out>spin>op clip) who knows how many times, and have yet to land it. its kinda frustrating. now my knee is all scraped up cause of the 'occasional shoe hitting knee from outside dex thing'. so then i just hit a few regular torques on bothsides (especially my flipside, cause i love being flipsided).
after that i tried surging sets (my new baby) and i almost hit one on either side. although i felt like a failure again and was very, very, very dizzy (i couldnt stand up straight for the rest of the night) i decided two things...
1. surging sets are probably bitches to learn, and i almost had a few.
2. my spinning sets must be ungodly good by now from all that accelerated spinning.
after my many adventures from surging set failures i tried to calm my jumbled mind down. so i just played around and would do 'strongside spin set>hand catch' then 'weakside spin set>hand catch' every time i would do that, i would try to spin slower, but my body wouldnt let me. and every time i would do that i would almost fall over or almost hit my head on a wall. i seriously felt kinda like i was drunk. (which reminds me...)
after about 20 spin>hand catches on each side i tried a strongside mobius (weak spin plus strong torque) and i wouldve had it too except for one thing... 3 out of the 3 tries that i attempted i would fall over after bringing my dexing leg off of the ground. oh well... today i will get that elusive mobius and that elusive flux. and maybe i will even try something off the wall like spin duck osis or something or porque.
i deduced a few things from lasty nights session...
1. i played about an hour (i had to stop cause of the dizzy state) which is 4X as long as normal, so my lungs are behaving properly again.
2. my spinning sets feel a LOT better than before.
3. flux's look cool, and i will probably never hit a flipside one. (my dad thought that flux was one of the coolest tricks he has had the pleasure to witness)
4. i will probably cry with joy when i hit bigwalk or something similar.
P.S. to anyone that reads this: please give feedback, remarks, criticism, challenges, thoughts, etc. i wont mind. i promise
ohh... and before i forget, i also practiced fluxs some more. still dont have them but i realized something. practicing a move like flux, really forces your ankles to be flexible (no pun intended (wtf)).
