What henry means, is that the basics are more important than being able to hit a few big moves

Another bunch of pointless posts in my blog...

I played 2 hours today with Janis, i think it was the best session ive had in so long. I played really well, with really long runs.
Janis hit some good stuff. saw some good pixie sets out and almost spin clipper, and he hit some challenges too.
Some highliughts i remember:

-Spinning whirl > scorpions tail (clean)
-My barraging sets were ON today. Hit janiwalker to start runs a few times (janiwalker +blurriest in run)
- Stepping ducking was great on BOTH sides. Almost Ripped Warrior Bsos (rolled off).
-Run with ripped warrior , and both barflies and finished with pixie torque.
-Some 10 contact run > Gyro Mirage > paradon > gyro mirage > paradon
-Few good pigbeaters
-About 15 contact run with barfly both sides, and Jussssssssssssst missed spinning clip > double spinning clipper to end. I dont do my double spinning clipper like some people how they never plant one foot and just spin on one leg. I find that ugly.
-Some run with side swirl and inf swirl

Some other things, but i was most happy with long runs like 70% of time.

Im getting pretty good at Flipside everthing (esp. Barflies and stepping ducking), and also Barraging sets.

Sessions: 57 (32 shred 26 solo)
Hours: 2
Total: 97

Alex, I'd really like to see you hit tap>atomsmasher rpt, that would look really good

HenryG wrote:Sorry for saying that about your game janis. I should really encourage you to get into super advanced concepts when you cant do flip clipper. I know that its the way to go, I am just ignorant. I know i have ruined your life.

please post comments about Alex's game here and comments about my game here:

Yeah exactly. when you posted i expected some props but you just post stupid things. I dont care if your right about what your saying or not. IF your gonna talk about Janis then go on his one. and lol please dont post about this issue again just pm me or talk on msn. I hate clogging my blog with non-shred stuff.

SO i havent posted in ages but ive been playing a little.

Ive played 4 hours since the last time i posted. Ive been getting back in to my game, after being sick..

I hit some nice sick 3's on video but my comp crashes when i try to load them

I shredded today and my game is slowly getting back. Actually my game feels much better. Pdx whirls are feeling real easy, and especially PDX Dlo's.

I hit some nice stuff today.
Phoenix > blurriest > Spinning whirl
Secret beast

EDIT: fuck always forget

And i realised i only played 1 hour since i last posted cos somehow i thought i didnt post about last session.

So im back from a really productive session with Janis and and hour by myself.

So today's schooling list went something like:

Infinity
Osis

Ducking/diving clipper
Spinning clipper both + GYRO

Swirl/Rev swirl

Whirl

Pdx whirl

DLO
PDX DLO

Torque

Blender

Drifter

Consecutive Ripwalks
Consecutive Sidewalks
COnsecutive Stepping clippers

drill Blurry whirl > Blurry whirl combo
drill both Spinning Whirl

Ended up being real good.

Infinities and osis are now BACK. Cos i was sick i forgot them but now i feel comfortable doing hundreds.
First run of the day with janis was infinities mixed with barflies and pdx whirls and it went on forever till i dropped.

Spinning on flip is getting there, i can easily do 3 in a row midrun that side ill see if i can hit 10. Gyro mirage and all that is fine but i lose balance on gyro clip.

Rev Swirl more and more consistant. BSOS first time
Swirl didnt do much

Whirls - Pdx whirl was good at the start then got worse. But after Janis left it was back to normal. Was hitting Pdx whirl > pdx whirl > ps whirl and stuff like pdx whirl > pdx whirl >spin > pdx whirl > spin and stuff midrun

DLO - WOOOOOOO! Getting heaps better i BSOS'ed pdx dlo and dlo's in general really good.

Torque - not good, but better towards end. Hit torque bsos and pdx whirl bsos with long run to end.

Drifter - Better, although didnt do much

Blender - i didnt practice till end when Janis said "try " so i did. first go, BSOS blender ending in pdx blender haha. Hardly ever do them.

Stepping - real proud of flip stepping. Blurry whirls have a real high set so i dont rush the whirl. and i can do consec blurry whirls from boith sides

B.whirl > b whirl drill - VERY VERY VERY impressive. I hit that link hundreds of times without too much trouble

Spinning whirl - Better on flipside! Hit pdx whirl > spinning whirl on flip pretty easily so ill try to rpt it

Highlights:

- Cleanest Blurriest b2b ive done (both double dex plus stepping)
- B whirl > B whirl > PS whirl > Spinning whirl (just rolled off)
- Pdx whirl > pdx whirl > pdx whirl > whirlinw swirl > run
- Better Tomahawks

Some other stuff i cant remember. My game is now back and i think i can confidently say my game improved alot today and is in good form.

im getting better. Yay

Cannot be bothere posting in detail so ill just mention some stuff that i hit:

-Run with Pdx dlo both sides and Clipper Dlo both sides
-Really good torques towards end - One perfect mobius
-Some random blender runs
-Scorpion's tail > about 25 contacts
-Blurriest > Scorpion's tail > run

You were playing awsome

DLO's are looking really solid
your blenders are also really solid +clean
Yeah, your flipside crank has always been good, keep up the awsomeness

Uranos · Post by **Uranos** » 07 Jul 2006 00:07

Hello

Well i shredded in the carpark again and it was ok session, i get better tork's and blenders but still need work. After an hour we both got tired so we stopped.

After Janis left i felt needy to practis tork's so i schooled bsos torques for a while, and towards the end i practiced Pdx torque on my strong torque, and Mobius on my weak tork.

Progress was made, i hit quite a few mobiuses and pdx tork's so i think its improving.

Hit Scorpion's tail to finish the session. I think im gonna do that all the time, ive done it twice now.

Sessions: 64 (37 shred 27 solo)

I played today overseas for the first time. i warmed up a bit until , geeeez it was soo humid and hot! In a place like Melbourne where im so used to playing while freezing, it was funny for me.

Some stuff that i managed to hit whilst shredding was:
- Blurriest > scorpion into a run that had i think b2b barfly
- Mobius and Pdx torque in same run.
- Superfly midrun (i suck at this trick)
- Better pdx dlo's and a few gyro dlo's to start.

Total Sessions Overseas: 1
Hours: 3
Total: 3

Watch out for more reports
