Just outside. As long as it's above -5 degrees (Celsius)

I start snotting every where when it gets that cold. It's so distracting to the session. ha! Do you have a rag just to wipe away that "annoyance", Nathan?

Cover one of your nostrils and breathe out, then do the same on the other side. Just make sure nobody's watching, it's not very sexy.

Hey, welcome back! I was just asking somebody about you --- "remember that dude Andre who came to East Coasts last year? He used to be on Modified a lot -- have you heard from him lately?" Well, speak of the devil...

Anyway, nice vid. I enjoyed, and I find it encouraging that you're working on basic kicks and outside stalls --- stuff that is often neglected. I've found that investing time in these yields unexpected dividends.

I didn't kick with anybody at East Coasts last year due to an injury, but I hope I get another chance to kick it with you sometime soon.

Thanks for the kind words, Jon. I have always been big of toe flicks and outside stalls. I was so happy to hit two exs outside stalls back to back and then I got add a string on top of that. Oh boy, I was ecstatic.

The majority of my practices are building up endurance and hitting basic kicks and stalls. Highlights hitting 50x toe stalls is easy now, almost nailed 50x inside stalls, outside stall to opposite 3x, and hitting clippers back to back from both sides. However one side is a bit weaker compared to the other. Not sure if I am setting it up incorrectly or catching it wrong. I need to investigate this more.

15-4-24 Session: Hitting toe flicks are going extremely well. 10x is pretty easy to get in a session. 30x something inside kicks, 3x outside kicks on both sides, but the left is a bit weaker than the right. 50x toe installs, 40x something inside stalls, and 3x outside install to same side on both sides, 2x outside stall b2b, pickup to op pickup, switch on both sides, and a few clippers.
Highlight: 40x something inside stalls

15-4-23 session: 11x toe flicks, 8x left toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls,
Highlight: toe > clipper > op clipper > toe > switch > op switch & 40x on the dot inside stalls, 8x left toe flicks

15-4-22 session: Still basic stuff. Toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls, and some clippers.

15-4-21 session: More of the basic, toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls, and lots of knee bumps?
Highlight: My gift to Paul: toe > op toe > mirage > toe > op mirage > toe > knee bump > op knee bump > toe > op toe > clipper > op clipper > toe > op toe > switch > toe > op toe > op switch > toe > around > toe > drop

15-4-20 session: Toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls, and most stuff. I forgot.
Highlight: 10x > awesome head wiggle 03:28 in the video.

15-4-19 session: 13x Toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls, and clippers.
Highlight: 13x toe flicks

15-4-16 session: Toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls, and lots of knee bumps.
Highlight: outside stall > op outside stall > op outside stall > op outside > toe > clipper > op clipper > toe > op toe. 10x left outside kick. 10x toe flicks

15-4-15 session: Toe flicks, inside kicks, outside kicks, toe stalls, inside stalls, outside stalls, lots of knee bumps, and mirages.
Highlight: Awesome visit from doggie.

15-4-14 session: I am going back to the fundamentals and mastering them. Which includes toe, inside, outside kicks, toe, inside, outside install, clippers, mirages, pickups, and switches, arounds, and orbits.
Highlight: outside > op outside > op outside > op outside. Mirage > toe > op mirage. 50 toe stalls.

Been kicking daily. Haven't stopped.

Damn, I love myself some tasty toe flicks. I think I have maxed out on them at 22x.

Working on clippers to clippers. I think, my max has been 3x sets. My left is weak when it comes to setting it up. Odd, because it has been my strongest for a while. My right is awesome at setting it up, but terrible for catching and holding it. Odd.

Been working on Illusions, but I just can't get my feet down in time to catch it and when I try to rush it. It gets all messed up.

I got some videos coming up. I know i need get on FB more often.

Saw one of your videos where you kept kicking the bag into the water, AND STILL PUSHED ON. Sheesh. Super glad to hear you are still at it! Hope ya start posting more, good sir.

[PrunusAberration]

Thanks Derek for the kind words. I should get on FB right? That's where everyone is at, right? I got something tasty coming to youtube. DDD It's a lead-in to what I hit today. Super excited for that trick. I will get it on both feet and uploaded that as well.

So, I was kicking the other day and I thought to myself. I could totally hit this.

Day 1: "If I set up the bag like this, twist my body, and stick it, that would be really cool." Proceed to attempt it way too many times and actually landed it. It's difficult, but not impossible.

Day 2: Film it.

Day 3: What happens if I just forgot the spinning like the ballerina part and try to catch it there. Bam! That was way easier than I thought.

Here is the results. [I didn't even know the tricks' name.]

P.S. I hit a huge milestone yesterday. I am going to film it and upload that tasty trick for everyone. : DDD
