Not bad. I'd vary up the tripod angles and positions to keep it more visually lively. Do you play with other people? Maybe get them to take a little handheld footage of you. How long have you been playing?

That was dope. I like the girls kicking with the counter. And the zoom on the stall was great. Nice song too. Closer and different angles would be good.

im alone

, thats why i have only images from 2 shots only :-/

iv been playing for 3 years now but when you are alone 90% of your sessions. its very hard to improve, but i love this sport so much !! iv got 3 - 4 mre frrestlyer in my city but they are always unavailable

, im the best of them all .. i give props to one when he hits a mirage ... and the other are just a lil bit stronger than him

edit: i forgot to say that i learned to step flipside last week only

and iv hit my toe drifters on that session

Hey nice stuff! Your atomic looks really good

My suggestion would be to take a little break from working on 4 add moves and go back to basic 2 and 3 add moves for a while. Like butterflies, work on doing those back to back until they're effortless.

Everything did look great though and your game looks very two-sided

Hey Julien, good to see footage of you! Liked the editing. I can't wait to see you at montreal spring jam in hmm 3 weeks I think? YAY!

hey,

good stuff! I like the drifters. Beutiful. Weren't you on the verge of hitting stepping ducking far-osis (alpine crispy torque?) last time I shred with you over a year ago though? I'm surprised to not see any stepping ducking action in your vid. You were so close last winter! You definately could have hit ripped warrior that night, but we were talking about it afterword and you said that you just didn't think of it. Have you hit it yet?

cool vid anyway. Gatorade is yummy

I disagree on the playing alone bit.

Look at it as something positive. You can constantly drill and never have to give up the bag! I also play alone, well, 100% of the time now and I'm improving at an enormous rate. Its fun.

I like the whirl->drifter. Good looking atomic too!

all the "usefull" 2 adds are effortless (mirage, pick-up, leg over, illusion, clipper) and im working alot rt now on my flipside, my butterfly's sucks and my osis too.

ill put some other stuff in my next video, like swirl, ducking/diving, spinning and my favorite tiltless string (about 20 tricks)

and my game isnt so two-sided

but im woring ALOT on it

iv never hit a stepping ducking something yet haha i dont even try anymore ... i tried atomic ducking tho. In the video, my atomics go up to my chest but iv never been able to duck it

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yeah, Jorden and Dave played alone for key stretches of their development, and look how they turned out.

best trick of the day (first hit ever too) atomic whirl
