I thought I'd make a (heavily edited) video!

I've been playing about half a year. Luckily my sprained ankle just cleared up and I can shred again!

I'd like to get some more flipside pixie and atomic in there. I'm still working on it. :)

Enjoy!

great stuff. you're right you need to try and get more flipside in there, and try not to do toe stalls mid run, atleast try to bail to an ATW or legover or something

hey lookin good!


all i can say is get rid of the toe stalls.


i know you can hit some 4 adds like ripwalk but it seems to me you need to drill the basics a little more(marage,legover, around the world, etc), it makes bailing to tricks easier (to me anyway)

i dunno i might be wrong :?
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

Some good moves in there, nice first vid :P Welcome to modified.

Essentially what Zac and Gray are trying to say is GO TILTLESS (only doing 2-add or better moves) :) You have lots of good moves but your runs are tarnished by those toe bails. You can shred tiltless! Get your basics to the point where tricks like mirages and legovers can be your bails instead of just toe stalls. Your infinities (alternating butterflies) are very good! That is a good link for you, but others need work. It looks like you have trouble getting from clipper back to toe with anything other than a toe stall. Can you hit clipper set mirage or far legover? Those would be good moves to work on (both sides!!) to get you from clipper to toe in 2 adds.

Keep shreddin!

Thanks for all the advise. My next video will be way more kickass. Today I was drilling the longer combos trying not to friggin TOE STALL between everything. Its a bad habit. I figure if I have to bail I should do osis->butterfly or something because its such a slow move it gives me time to think of what to do next.
