Like your list James, I didnt know you could hit an occasional illusion, you'll have to show me. I hit it sometimes, thats when I bail out of a legover and land on setting foot.

Anyways ill keep posting here so you have to post as well :D Keep Shredding.

Lots of clippers and basics today, new consec mirages record : 5 :) Footbag is starting to become awesome fun, clipper opens up a lot of different stuff. Attempted torque and drifter with no luck. More flip mirages :o

Awesome shred with the Melbourne guys + Jamieson Hickingbotham :) Hit some really nice strings and lots of Butterflys. I'm convinced that I footed one Butterfly Swirl and I hit it once - with a handcatch, I also hit flip Butterfly for the first time :D
I guess my best string of the day was atw > mirage > butterfly > legover.

Going to have another full on shred tomorrow with the guys.

summary of the last two weeks
24/6/07

Not that much shred these past two weeks, starting to be able to hit pixie same clipper on my right. Flipside is improving, pixies, clippers, mirage and legovers. Butterflies are becoming consistent on my right :) . Today I had a shred with some of the Melbourne guys, Dan Ednie, Dan Boyle, Dan (Dan B's friend), Andrew McIntosh and Alex Crowhurst. My string length is becoming around 7 tiltless now.

On another note, last week of school! July 1st is my birthday too so lots of stuff to look forward to. Wish I could write more but I guess my life is kind of boring :? but as soon as I start becoming pro (hopefully soon :lol: ) expect more.
