Damon is getting better every time I play with him. He's getting the game back that he used to have but in my opinion needs a little more determination. He blames it on age and extra weight alot but I do my best to motivate him into continue kicking with me even after we busted for hours.
I moved out of the house during the ladder part of the session yesterday because the cool air and natural light was just much better for my game. One of my first strings was atleast twenty contacts and included reverse swirl > far wauxpin midrun and cross body toe stall BSOS. After roughly a half hour of kicking however, I got it into my head that I needed.... absolutely needed to hit barfly both sides.
Wrong move for me.
My strong side double over downs have always been better for me due to me being a right sided player. Thus, I managed to hit barfly fairly easily on that side with a little advice from Damon. My flipside was mad trouble though.
I must have been out there for atleast an hour, and after four... maybe five hundred attempts at flip barfly I was getting very very very frustrated. I tried it off of every set I could think of. Osis, Ripwalk, Infinity, ect. I just couldn't hit it. I kept going back to my strong side to learn what the difference was in the two.. seeing as how I hit it strong side maybe fifteen times by that time for instructional purposes. Finally... at about nine o'clock that night and everything seeminging like it was going wrong I busted it. Nice and clean right up to my hand. It was the most difficult move I have ever hit... flip barfly... what the fuck.
This is definately something that needs practice and I will being bringing my game toward that direction more in the forthcomming weeks. I am so god damn happy I hit it though
