This Story Was Written In My Genetic Code
Had a couple of sessions this weekend that really made me happy, smiles all throughout. Except on dirty ass Butterflies, fuck that shit. For some odd reason if I try and start from Clipper, my Clipper is terrible. But when I bust one mid-string, my form and what not is pretty good, it's the only way I can Duck flipside(and do a decent butter). So this really sucks when I am trying to drill near DLO and Bubbabeater(My new favorite things to drill on Clips). I think it has something to do about over thinking, probably my best and worst attribute. I guess I shouldn't bitch, a few months ago I couldn't even fathom hittin' any form of Eggbeater, and now I can hit a handful both sides. I am really infatuated with toe DLO and Eggbeater(mainly Egg <3), it has been my main focus on drilling. Not so much my main focus, but I make sure I finish it successfully before moving on, and I tend to come back to them for fun. ss DLO has finally come into my game on reaction now, so I don't have to force it as much. Hit 4 in a row today, only 3 yesterday. DLO >ss DLO repeat is a new favorite of mine, just feels right, plus I think it helps with my non existent spin game. Smogs have become pretty easy on my strong, finally hit two back-to-back today! I can hit it flipside decently, just takes a few tries. And BSOSin' it isn't too hard after that. I am working on ss Egg, but my legs aren't down with it quite yet. Egg though, will be my go-to move here soon, or so I hope. I don't really try for Pigbeater as much as I should, just don't want waste too much energy burning out on my flip, but I did hit it twice yesterday.
Now my Clippers are really starting to come along, control wise. I need to start forcing myself to mix my toe and Clipper game up more, but I tend to drill them seperately. Though I do always have time when I just freestyle as much as I can at the end of each solo sesh. Hit 10 in a row on my flip yesterday! Fuck yeah, PROGRESS!!! Can't get past 6 contacts when I do both sides, but that's fine with me. far Pick-up is pretty feasable these days, and as is near Illusion. Hit Paradox DLO on my flipside for the first time yesterday, looks like all that P. Mirage practice has been paying off. Ducking on my flipside has been a priority as well, just don't have the right form for a set that high. I want Ducking op Clipper back to back so bad. SO BAD. I have been working on my Butterflies, and they are coming along, just very slowly. Plus, I really don't like them, mainly cause they confused me and fucked my Drifter game! Found out a few weeks ago that the couple "Drifters" I had hit, were actually Dada Curves(I seriously have super low Clipper IQ). Figured out what I was doing wrong, made the fix, but haven't been able to hit it yet. And when I went back to try Dada Curves today, it felt WAY weird. Damn.
If you have read this far, thank you! Usually I don't usually do posts like this, but mid-terms have me stuck in this mode for the time being(Which is ramble and bullshit all that's on ya mind). Hit 23 PLO's back to back, thought that was cool. DLO >Magellan >Smear >PLO repeat is something I try to aim for each session. Smudge >PLO repeat, and Eggbeater > PLO repeat are a must now as well. Been working on toe ducking as well. I was able to hit Ducking Mirage >Ducking Switch repeat today, thought that was pretty cool too. Symposium Mirages are nice, but my flip could use a wee bit more work. I want Flails so fucking bad, probably the trick I tire myself out on the most. I hit them once in a while, but that muscle memory has not kicked in what so ever(all on strong too, major downer). Of course I leave out a lot of the Tiltless boring-ness, which takes up most of the session, and a shit ton of other stuff, but yeah. This is what I wanted to share, so oh well. I better be able to make it out to Stanford this weekend
