What?! Crazy. I thought it was a joke and almost didn't watch the whole thing but they look clean. It's weird you struggle with ducking clipper/ripwalk etc... but can bust three triple downs in a row (clean) no problem.

you're not doing the magic hop on your stalls - that's what's keeping you from stringing, and stepping.

don't plant the support leg, and then stall. Instead, hop in to your stalls so that your support leg lands at the same time that you stall. Then, in the same fashion, hop back out of them. 20 ss clippers, hopping into and out of each one, both sides. Then do it with alternating sides. same with toes.

edit: oh ya, the obvious... ridiculous TODs. beautiful. Once you learn to hop into your stalls, you'll be able to harness that speed, and you're gonna be insane.
BRICK!

nice!! that's an awesome move to have under your belt.

+1 for matt's post--magic hop will open your game up in a big way.

I don't see how two of you could vote those as unclean.

How can they be clean when they are just so filthy.
But yeah, all looked clean to me. Time for a new vid Taylor, I'm curious to see how good you've gotten. Oh, and come back to seattle. Where we have gravity.
I like to play.
I want to play good.

I voted clean, for all three. Did that trick come naturally, or did you just drill that, and nothing else?

i kinda thought the last triple down wasnt too clean, i was reaching for it lol. this trick must come naturally because my flipside gets close to hitting it and i dont try that much with it. i used to go for triple down a lot and triple around the world, guna link TATW > triple over down, one day haha

p.s. I LOVE DOUBLE DOWNS!!! my first triple over down trick i saw was jim penske doin it, got obsessed with it right after.

I see what you mean about reaching, but the dexes look very clean to me. Ankle deep even.

It's amazing that you could get so good at such a hard trick ahead of things like stepping and ducking clippers, you're clearly very talented. From here, I think you really need to work on improving your clippers and hitting runs and links.

What Jeremy said. Rather than seeing triple down swirl I would rather see 10 ripwalks/barflys or down double down>barfly repeat or plastic man (barrage>paradon>barfly repeat). But I wouldn't mind seeing triple down swirl :D

Warms my heart to see all the support you are getting Taylor.
Taylor often sends me texts of the crazy stuff he is hitting now. Mainly big moves, links and bsos stuff, but we worked a lot on his string game before he left Seattle. His big hurdle is that flip clipper. Once that locks in, sky's the limit.
Hope you have a chance to come back down to Seattle some time. We miss ya buddy.
Here are the two vids I made of Taylors progress before he left Seattle, if you want to see some more Taylor action.

Much of the stuff hit in the first vid was for the first time, drifters, pdx dlo, etc. You can kind of tell by how he catches it if it was a first time. I really tried to show a juxtaposition of how well he hits massive tricks and the progress he's making on his strings.
