Compare this video with the other videos on my page:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNvYcnHkQSg[/youtube]

I already noticed that I sometimes slouch on certain tricks, and my arms are sometimes too tense and do weird things, but besides that, tell me any bad habits I may have picked up that I'm not seeing, ways to play better, etc (besides not doing stupid inside bails... I swear, it was an accident.)


edit: And somebody give me some friggen challenges! The link to my challenge blog is in my signature :)

well I don't know about that one,
but I know what you mean by more crank. my ankle crank isn't very good; it's not terrible, but it could be a lot better. I've been having a lot of problems with rolloff lately...

lol

back to the video

I have a question regarding your clipper. Do you point your toes toward the support leg, or away? I have found that you can get a flatter clipper by pointing your toes away from the support leg, but that might just be preference.

Uh, I usually scrunch up my toes in my shoe. So I guess that would be away. I think it's mostly positioning that I have to work on.

After watching the video again i would suggest that you do your clippers more behind you. It looks like you clipper right next to the support leg, rather then a little to the side and behind. Also i think you should cushion more with your support leg, rather then the clipper foot. All in all you've gotten much better, and your posture is like a thousand times better then that first video you posted. Keep it up.

My clipper used to actually look better, back when I was playing on a tiltless level, but for some reason, I suppose when I started drilling infinities it kind of took that form.

I'm glad I posted this video and I'm getting good feedback from it. I never would have noticed this clipper thing, and I may not have known until now, but it's really been holding my game back.

Nice run.

My biggest thing was the osis you did. Watch it come like 2 inches from hitting your foot, and then turn slowly (well, slower than you are). Just sink into the bag with your support leg and pop it up right in place. You're kind of setting it up and then looking away and hoping it lands there, which is not what you want to do. Watch DC do an osis, especially one after a huge run. He watches it all the way to his foot and then slowly cushions it down and then back up.

I really liked the DLO, they're hard. Was that flip?

Your posture is much improved and I think your arms look fine.
