I'm happy with my style for most things. I hate my PS whirls and my torques are pretty weak.

I like my style even though I am a little to new to have much of it. I don't ever notice myself slouching so thats nice and I like my clippers because there very smooth it seems... I should really watch myself on video more.

I personally like my style and know several others that do as well. Everyone ive kicked with has told they liked it but the two that stuck the most were J-unit mirken and Juan Rangel.

i think people shouldnt be so hard on themselves with there style. just play, dont think about "does this look good to other people". i dont think we should worry too much about it. but if you are concerned take out a camera and watch yourself play. improve from your own critiqes. whos to judge if you have a good style or not.

Why are all hurricanes named after women?

Because when they show up their wet and wild and when they leave they take your house and your car.

How was that hurricane anyway

[start boasting] i love my style. i cant hit much, and i cant link very well (i was expecting more after playing for half a year), but i love my style. i didnt really think about this until just the other day when my dad recorded me. i watched the tape and thought, damn those are some good pixie sets, or that was a really tight little 2-add string. i thought i was a lot worse than i look but im not. hopefully i can get some vids up soon.

end[end boasting]

i dont see anything wrong really with being critical of your own style... when i hit a move and i think its ugly, i try to think of a better way to hit it, or i just school it some more in the hopes that it will clean up a bit.. some things will, some wont. probably for ppl who are just learning basic 2s its not a priority, but once you have a good foundation i think its healthy to make sure everything looks right, cos the better it looks chances are you are hitting it more efficiently and it may help you hit other moves later on

what about hurricane andrew? i'm pretty sure that's not short for hurricane jill...

any way...

my style seems to change at such a fast pace, one day it's all smooth and flowing, then later it's all fast and furious, then it's some thing else. maybe it's just my trick selection that does it to me... either way, it never stays the same for too long, it's more or less been the same since i came back from europe, but befor that it was changing all the time. do i like it, i'm not sure, but i do know that i don't dislike it. it's just how i play, so guess i better just accept it.

If you didnt know they switch for every hurricane. or at least im pretty sure. and they switch genders each time too. or something like that. Charley was intended to be a male. :o

Thanks for clarrifying I was pretty confused... we don't get any hurricanes out here in California not even any rain during the summer. Also, is it considered good style to hold your delays or to catch and throw in one smooth motion...
