1.5 hour session yesterday. Played well, but my form didn't seem as good. I've re-noticed that I rake pretty much every toe trick forward before I set. This is bad. It has been a problem for me since forever. Got to fix it somehow. I'll probably play tonight.

Working on form right now.

i can tell your working on form!

your stepping looks a lot smoother and more controlled, and you seem to be more balanced, and you stand more straight up.

props dude

your getting really good.

really, really

good

Damn! You beat me to it Zeb!

That was one of the best vids I;ve seen in a long time. We have very similar trick selections but you shred way longer and more genuine and with super badass links. Heck Yeah Ben! Keep Shredding...I've always enjoyed yours.

Thanks guys. It means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The form was sloppy on some stuff though. I wasn't entirely satisfied with the way I played, but it's a work in progress I guess.

YouTube up.

1.5 hour session yesterday. I think I made progress on form. I believe I fixed my butterflys. I got my pixies a little better and my atomics. I've been watching old Jorden videos for form reference.

Hit whirlygig > spinning whirl > spender > hand catch first try, so perfect.

Yo Ben.

I didn't like that video as much as your other one. I did like the 3 fearless combo you did, that was great. And uh... Gauntlet bs looked good.

I think all of the barrages were the, and then a few of your double downs were the.

I still liked it though, thanks for the vid!

Totally agree with you. That's why yesterday I worked on a bunch of stuff to bring me back to what I was doing in the last video. When you learn how to do stuff incorrectly, it's hard to maintain correct form when you're tired. You just revert back to default.

2 hour session. Mostly online comp stuff. Did some good runs as well.

2 hour session today. Flip pixie work. Sucked. Hit some good stuff though.

2 hour session. Worked on atomic and stepping. Played ok. Stiff in the beginning.

2 hour stepping/clipper session. Didn't play well, legs were tired. I've been studying and trying to imitate player's styles to see what's different about them and what I like best. It's pretty interesting.

2 hour session. Played bad in the beginning. Played good in the middle. Then played mediocre at the end. Although I did hit double blender bs with pretty minimal effort to end off the session. First time ever hitting that trick. I'm kinda glad that now instead of playing terrible for an entire session, it's now just for parts of some sessions.

Should I play today, or should I not play. That is the question. My ankle muscles are the only thing that's sore, but 5 days in a row seems...I don't know....extreme? We'll see.

professor · Post by **professor** » 22 Mar 2008 20:59

3 hour session. Not good. Not good at all.

professor · Post by **professor** » 24 Mar 2008 21:44

2 hour session. Much better than last time. Much.

3 hour session with Evan and Aaron Shepard. Aaron might live here indefinitely! So we'll have 3 shredders in Vegas. Yay!

Post by **Zac Miley** » 28 Mar 2008 04:39

Yo that's tight. Tell Aaron I said hi.

professor · Post by **professor** » 28 Mar 2008 17:28

I'll be playing online in 10 minutes if you want to watch. Don't expect goodness.

We should add a feature like the youtube thing that allows you to post your stream directly onto the forum. That would be cool.
