Well, since you asked

Use your left foot please. a little? like.. ducking rev whirl midrun is impressive, but i would be more impressed to see a flip clipper or mirage.

that's the third vid that I've heard Carmina Burana - O Fortuna AND the Pirates of the caribean song (I dunno what It's actually called). Stale tracks, dude...

and the one sidedness thing...

We love you, Ben!
Nice uptime sets!

keep'er real

I agree with everyone above, more use of your left foot, please?

Either than that, pretty decent stuff. Have you tried far legover? That could throw some more variety in your runs.

Sidewalk looks easy for how recently you learned, good job. Maybe throw stepping ss clipper in there too?

I agree, use more left foot (I'm such a hypocrite).

thanks evryone, believe me. im practicing my left foot its just its not good enough to put on video in my opinion, deffinatley not consistant enough.

thank you for the coments. i will consider everything that was said.

P.S.- Ben, i guess thats just a pupular song! i dont think the music was stale!

that means you arent practicing it enough. Ben you will really enjoy being able to do video worthy runs using both feet! Stop learning hard rev whirl moves and school both sided tiltless

yeah...dont want to sound like a dick, but if it was me, i wouldnt land one single more trick on my strong toe or clipper until my flip was nearly caught up. my one-sidedness was almost as extreme as yours, and i didnt do anything extreme about it, i just used my flip once or twice a session instead of not at all, and im still feeling the effects of that. it takes much longer to catch up that way. i know it sucks to drop the same move over and over but trying your flip is the only way to improve it (i know, obvious)

You can do a whole ton of different dexes with your left leg, it won't kill you practice delays with your left! I think I saw flip legover on there. You can do it!

The more you keep playing on your strong side, the weaker your flip side will look in comparison.

Take some time the next few sessions during session to just school the basics on your flipside. I'm talking stuff like flip clipper > mirage > rpt x 4. Once the basics on the flipside are solid, the advanced moves from the strong side will make their way over.

i TOTALLY agree with that caus im like that .. i hit blurrier (stepping ss double down) many many many many times on strong side but i can barely make a stupid butterfly on my flipside ..

so, even if you think it doesnt worth it, put it on the video so we can see the progression ...

and a lil something that can help you, since you asked us to critsize you, try do to something else than just mirgae after a side walk ... try pdx mirgae for example .. you set is straigh/high enough to do it or rev whirl since you are pretty good at it

keep it up dude !

good song too
