Yep I'm new

kldfjlaksdj · Post by **kldfjlaksdj** » 20 May 2006 12:25

Umm, so I wasn't 100% sure exactly where I should go to introduce myself, so I figured I would do it right here. Im Steve, I live in Connecticut, and usually play after school with my friends, and i play by myself a lot.

I was curious if theres anything you guys do, or anywhere you might be able to direct me to to help me school my opposite leg. Like i try to use it, but i cant do much of anything aside from toe stall on it. and i dont know if theres maybe a way any of you did it to help you lose the awkwardness of your opposite side.

I think thats all for now, any help is greatly appreciated!

the key is to make sure you use your "opposite" side just as much or more than your strongside when you are practicing

Ya, for sure use your weak side (also called flipside) alot more. When learning a new move try to make sure you land it equal amounts on both feet even if you have to try it 50 more times on your weakside.

Also check out www.flipsider.com I think I read an article on this subject over there.

Anyway practice is the only way to kill the akwardness man, its a real bitch using the left leg, but you'll get it.

It is a real bitch, but hey, i figure it will be well worth the effort in the end am i right? i worked it today some, so wierd a feeling, ugh! haha, but progress is being made

sen · Post by **sen** » 22 May 2006 16:11

sniper4life · Post by **sniper4life** » 23 May 2006 14:05

It is essential in the end.

I worked my bad side a lot today, Basically what i did 5 of on my strong side i did ten of on my flip

so hopefully continued work like that will work a bit, i may up to 10-20, but for now i will stick with 5-10 and then i alternate feet

Welcome! How do you remember your log in name?

kldfjlaksdj · Post by **kldfjlaksdj** » 31 May 2006 18:51

Well, a long time ago when i signed up for an account somewhere, i was sick of thinking up names that i found people already had. so i just pressed a bunch of letters. and poof, i got kldfjlaksdj. It stuck and i just somehow remembered it!

and it was unique and my own, because how could anyone remember a thing like that right? so...as far as remembering it...i do not know...i just do i guess
