Edit: Given the clearer look on the pixie symp whirl, I'd say the pixie is clean, but slowing it down frame by frame it appears your leg never dexes for the whirl, but instead passes over it. The reason for this is because looking at the three frames in which the bag is falling and you should be dexing;

Frame 1: Bag is falling and is above dexing leg
Frame 2: Bag is behind dexing leg
Frame 3: Dexing leg is now on the ground with bag approaching foot.

In other words, you never get a chance to see if your leg actually went over the bag in a whirling motion, at least from my computer. Form looked pretty decent though, better luck on the next capture.

Edit 2: Ahh, much better capture on this move. Again, great pixie. Unfortunately the double down was the, or at best thin. You want that second dex to at least be bottom of the calf to top of ankle deep, and it appeared shoey at the end. Try to start the dex much earlier, and dex faster. Good luck.

In your dimmiest, it looks like you're trying to do an illusioning dex to a clipper. It's easier to think of it as a parkwalk with an extra dex.

[EDIT:] I meant dimwalk instead of parkwalk.

A parkwalk?

A parkwalk dex is just the same as any butterfly dex, isn't it?

Thank you so much for your help!

Dave Clavens also told me that I caught the bag before I finished dexing on dimmiest.

I'm going to drilll paradon for a while in my next session, hopefully fixing form and the like.
