Kevin Crowley--help me improve

Post by Sporatical_Distractions »

This vid was put out so that people can help me with my game. I feel like my whirls look odd and my drifters could be much better. tips on form and/or other advice would be greatly appreciated.

I put this in my blog a few weeks ago. Played real early in the morning that day. wasn't at my best but just tried some fun links and stuff:

I didn't check the viewfinder b4 filming.


edit: added first paragraph and changed name

I like what your hands do.

Otherwise... Inconclusive. I think you'll just have to make another video... before I can become conclusive.

it's free to university of montana students so when I feel like making the drive, I shred there. people rarely use that room as well.

Sick shred.
Your toe game is nice.
Try incorperating more 3s in your toe shuffling.

The drifters and whirls look fine to me.

Work on more stepping and spinning moves.
And then work on flip stepping and spinning.

Great video.

KC is the bombest.

Soft Money the bombest cd.

That the flail was the bombest.

Gyro flux? Whatever, bombest.

Those bitches in the back of the video, bombest.

G Units are the bombest. I just got mesh camouflage units; they make my style dope.

Though, your style is the bombest.

peace brotherman.

that was some really good shred

the way you can tell a player are hitting there tricks well are nice up and down sets from move to move. you've got that, especially in your spins and ducks.
as for your whirls, your style seems fine but the timing is a little off on the same side whirls. pdx whirls look awsome but this might be why you have trouble with your others whirls because your used to that slight pause between dexes on pdx whirls. for same side, dex as soon as you setting legs hits the ground.
driftesr look good too
just keep practicing, it would be nice to see some flipside pixies too =]
