fairy whirl both sides
pdx illusion - pixie whirl - rpt - 5 contacts - run

some work on clipper delays, stepping, nothing great, but bringing my elbows higher and not letting them fall down seems to help.

nice video. Nice long run in front. Initially I thought it was going to be a one run video. Spinning egg and fairy shuffle :!:

far buterfly rev swirl
something clicked with barrage for a few minutes and I hit:
gyro barage (I think it's pretty clean) (not new)
barroque
flurry (not new)

Also fear - atomsmasher both sides,want to do a drill but still too hard

blur-smear-fear both sides
spin whirl - spin dyno - motion

filmed everything, gonna make a video later

EDIT: Also really important, for my strong step, but sucking one, I realised I use my knee instead of my hips, helped so much for blur`s

figured out something for flip fairy : moving my upper body on the arm side forward while setting helps (atomic too, but that I already did most of the time)

fairy pickup bsos (a trick I could'nt hit both sides a week ago..)

whirling rake both sides (still hard, harder with strong whirl)

one of the best flip blur's I ever hit, the mirage was'nt toey or rushed like they usualy are.

an eggbeater run with : egg - egg bsos + ss egg bsos

fairy ss mirage - 3 contacts (before I realised how to perform flip fairy correctly, will need to try this again)

fairy swirling clipper both sides
fairy ss drifter both sides
pdx illusion - fear bsos
merkon - fairy muted clip - rpt
for flip fairy, using upper body still helps, my elbow was bent down before
footed fairy motion (flip fairy)
footed flip fairy drifter!
a clean fairy paradon
barfly - blur

my birthday gift to myself: torquescrew (I got to hit this by exagerating arms movement, arms where poiting opposed to clipper stall, and after set a huge movement from upper boddy and arms toward the bag)

This technique also helped for stepping sets, got a nice deep blur from this (flip step)

Was a fun sess, flip fairy getting way better

pixie ss mirage- fear - rpt
magellan - fairy legover - rpt
fear - fairy ss mirage - rpt
blur - smear - fear - atomsmasher (footed atomsmasher on flip)

a run with bsos : blur, smear, fear, atomsmasher(flip atomsmasher footed :( )

flip fairy getting better

and also, more oumphf (how Yax used to say) on steps, using more habs and lifting the leg higher and using more upper body = easier sets.

(fairy ss mirage - smear - rpt ) - (fear - plo - rpt) - run : pretty satisfied

hard not to be lazy on flip step

flip fairy still takes 20-30 mins of warmup to be possible midstring
