Please dont comment about the Boilsoft unregistered version. I have no good video conversion thing.

Venom is 'the' surging set, but i was happy cos i got it first try.

I hit it better last time

Thanks.

Awesome stuff! yea the venom was a little bit the but its still an awesome 6 add. Nice barflies, your double downs look great. Also props on the frankenstein, thats a sick move.

I see so much of other people's styles in your game (i.e. Ales). I don't even have to watch the video any further to know that some day soon your game is going to be so darn good. You are already good, but I mean you will be great. Lucky you!

Thanks guys, i think you give me way too much credit. But ill take it

@Guido - Dan wont be going. Jst me and Phil M

@Jeremy - Thats real nice man, thanks alot

I still need to train and train to become better..

So i had a session today: It was pretty crap but i feel i still improved. I like those sessions where you feel crap about your game yet you still improve a bit..I had a good shuffle run and got better at stepping whirls on both sides.
I hit paradon swirl a few times and i think its pretty easy now..
Also i practised blurry whirl b2b from other side, and also practiced tomahawks.

I hit Tomahawk > ripstein and i think it was clean. Also hit a run with bsos tomahawk and hatchet as well...

Towards the end i was trying some stepping ducking cos mine suck. So it got slightly better. I noticed i can do ripped warrior when i dont try as much in my mind, but whenever i try to go agressive i fuck the set up.

ANyways alright session:

Sessions: 51(31solo 20 shred)
Hours: 1.5
Total: 89.5

Awesome video man! My favorite was Pdx Torque and Blurriest mid-string.

Uranos · Post by **Uranos** » 03 Jun 2006 23:57

Hey thanks,

I played for somewhat about 1/2 hour today. I just schooled string length because how am i gonna do well in routine if i get tired after like 30 contacts!

ANyways to improve my fitness i did some string length practicd (doesnt have to be guiltless).

I tried a few times and in the end i recorded my results.

My average string length was like 37 or something. Pretty bad, and im also unfit.

Sessions: 52(31 Shred 21 Solo)
Hours: .5
Total: 90

A week or two of running in the morning for 30-45 mins will get you really fit and running should'nt give you sore muscles so you'll still be able to train.

If you have a good gym at school try bike or treadmill on a med incline (4-8%) also great for fitness without sore muscles.

June 7

I played solo again. Geez its boring sometimes.

I just schooled some double downs and barrages. Tried some barraging sets but they still suck.
Schooled some eggbeaters and i hit pdx egg to start a run a few times, i feel like bedwetter is easier..

School is nearly over, almost Germany!

p.s: FLipside swirls r getting really good. Swirling set is better that side.

Hey

I forgot i played for 1 hour today. I think i played a bit more but meh.

I practiced some barrages and double dexes and my stepping ducking is getting better, although still needs work.

At the end i came really close to Surging Atomic gyro mirage. I will have a video soon of me hitting it,
