:P

I think if we do drifter next week, then every other week should be a harder trick.

So Osis this week, Drifter next week, Infinity the week after (or something else, whatever), and then pdx whirl or something

I'd love to do infinities, and they're inarguably easier than drifters. I vote doing them next week, and then drifters the week after.

Eoghan, the whole point of this comp (at this stage, anyway) is to focus on single concepts tricks (ex: osis, butterfly, mirage, etc) as opposed to multi concept tricks (ex: attomic mirage, stepping infinity, etc). I guess one could argue that a drifter is like miraging clipper, but it's all one downtime motion, pretty much unique to itself. We'll prolly get to more complex tricks later on, but I'd really rather do the single concept (symmetric) tricks first. All in good time, buddy :P :wink:

I like the way Zac explained it. One week a relatively easy/simple trick, the following week a slightly harder/complex trick.

I still vote Drifter for this week.

If we're doing this based on difficulty, then wouldn't it make sense to do infinites first? Aren't Drifters arguably more difficult then infinites?

He was agreeing with my post, not Ben's.

Basically, we do a harder trick every other week, not gradually get harder every week.

I'm fine with either one though, Ben.

alternating between hard and basic sounds alright to me. Drifters for this week then? Unless there are a bunch of strong objections, that'll be it. So start tweeking your drifters! Make'em as styley as possible and get ready to post your vid next thursday.

4 clip[set] drifters, back to back.

this thursday (the 15th) is infinities! Everyone, be ready. I love infinities.

next thursday (the 22nd) is paradox whirls. That'll take practise, cuz we're doing 4 of them b2b, just like all the other weeks.

the 29th will be legovers. Our first toe to toe trick-o'the-week

the first thursday of June will be attomsmashers. Practise up!

that's as far as I'm gonna bother to go right now. We'll see how it all plays out and what's going to happen next.
