Looking good guys, hopefully I'll be back in action kicking with you soon.

Like that!
Nick, I saw you nuclear set, try to set the bag closer to your body, and dex little bit faster, that makes it better. Actually you could set closer to your body at all, especially with spins. Like your dyno's
Keep kicking

Thanks for giving it a look guys!

Bob, definitely hope to be kicking with you soon!

Empty, thanks for the tips man! That Nuclear Mirage was actually the very first time I've ever hit any trick with a Nuclear set. I'll make sure to dex tighter next time I try them.

Awesome stuff guys! Nick I really like your spinning ducking, it looks great! And props on the nuclear set. I still have a lot to learn about nuclear sets but I've just been working on loosening my hips for the dex. I also found it helpful to think of jumping backward slightly after setting the bag, which helps with the dex and the downtime component. Keep going for mobius too

Zach you have a lot of control on your clippers man, nice spins! That slow-mo symp bubba (or egg?) at the end looked awesome!

Way to go guys, keep on drilling! Looking forward to shredding with both of you again!

Thanks for giving this a look and the compliments, Dante. Definitely can't wait to shred with you again (may be sooner than you think, I'm about to PM you right now)

Consecutives, tons and tons of consecutives, then...do more consecutives. Push your numbers on butterflys (downs), ripwalks, drifters, whirls, spins, etc. Tape, watch, correct form, repeat.
I'm currently working on keeping my elbows up and away from my body, and not letting them drift behind me (which happens on some moves, like transitioning from spins or osis, or even egg beaters), it's helping so much with balance. I don't know if that helps at all.

Hey thanks for the tips man. I've been doing parts of that. I really need to start pushing my numbers though.

yo nick, sorry to say but this footage of you is really one-sided

Haha, wow. You're so right, Nick. Thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully my recent drilling will help with that.
