well the ripwalk was perfect except for the last stall... remember its just a butterfly. just make sure u bring that clipper foot down to stall it nice.

and drifter... im not too sure but i think it should be downtime (thats my opinion and belief)

but good job!

Drifter can be done many different ways ..

With a plant, without a plant, uptime, downtime, whatever.

Try to learn it all ways, but I agree with the above post, that setting, letting the bag peak, then swinging your leg around and catching it downtime in one fluent motion is the most styley (although the hardest) form of drifter.

Personally I do crispy drifters, simply because I find them a lot easier. I now want to school my drifters. So I will tonight...

Cool video.

Ripwalk was good, work on getting the stepping set at least to waist high so you have plenty of time to hit the butterfly on the way down.

Your stepping set looks prone to the. The ripwalk looked okay (it was really hard to tell in the choppy slowmotion though, sadly), though practicing your butterfly will definately make the ending smoother. As for the drifter I would skool it completely downtime. Everyone has their own style and does what they want but I wouldn't consider what you hit a drifter -- it's more like a muted blurry clipper. Just some advice from my perspective

I feel drifter is all downtime

Toe drifter will definately help, although when I started toe drifters I did them somewhere in between downtime and uptime. I did them very hippy but not a quantum set....I think it's something that takes a lot of practice and watching other players to help define what you want to set as your own personal style
