Awesome stuff! I've never really seen anybody play barefoot before so that was indeed very cool. Seemed like you hit a good many new things that session too! :D Your expressions were priceless. :wink: All the Cloud Delay moves were sick! You've got a very unique style.

Reverse Whirl video was fucking awesome man! I loved all of the unque setting surfaces. Nice job on Dyno both sides. It's a fun move. ; ) I'll leave some Dyno challenges for you. Ducking Reverse Whirl was awesome too man! Have you hit it Flipside too?
