Sometimes shredding when I'm sick makes me feel better afterwards.. kinda lightheaded sometimes too though, and definitely not as much stamina. Shred/feel better soon! :D

I guess you are right!
I kicked a bit at work today.. and flip whirl never seemed better.. hit 2 and 3 consecutives many time, feels good.. at this rate it can notch my strong side any time :D

ok I was really tired today, did'nt really sleep last night since I was listening to the Montreal Canadians last game on radio via the net.. wich ended at 3:30 AM here, and woke up at 7AM to work (I did this at work and slept at work.. yeah..)

anyhow I decided I'm shredding anyways,
for someone who slept badly and barely it was'nt so bad
flip whirl doing great
8 contacts of osis>whirl>rpt
zulu clip>whirl
close to flip smear>paradon.. footed once :(
I need to dedicate more time to pixies.. and still put lot in whirls until I go for more sets (atomic/quantum) even tough I hit them before.
Flip stepping.. I think I figured a way to do it, but need to look on camera I think it's slurry

exausted from shred.. tomorrow another session and weekend = break!
actually I'm also mentally tired for various reasons I rather not talk about.. it has to do with appartment issues.
so.. more work on flip pixie.. Not much, no improvements.. but still managed both smears midstring in a run
flip dyno> pdx mirage
flip dyno is getting way more reliable.. still too risky midstring
dyno>dyno again
ripwalk>flip dyno
then worked for some time doing ss buter>osis>pdx mirage>rpt
got to 11 a couple of times.. need to improve this
at a point I coul'nt hit a flip pdx mirage.. it was horrible! even from clipper set
flip stepping IS slurry, this is now official :(

props man

I challenge you to hit

smear>pixie legover rpt

smear>pixie ss mirage rpt

if you havent already.

with your slurry stepping, really pronounce the delay on the clipper and move around the bag, (set the bag straight up)

peace

good session today, Did'nt shred too much, had some good links, I hit gyro DLO first try
worked on pixies.. having too many problems linking them, Those challenges are good, they are actually some of the pixie links I'm working on :D
some good ducking moves combos
flip whirl is getting better and better again!
ended session on osis>rev swirl>rpt!


otherwise I coached a girl doing toe stalls, she managed to hit 3 consecutive toe stalls on first session (she played for 30 mins)
I hope she comes back, she's really energic and fun to play with!

good session today
had a run with 5 pixie moves in it, 3 on flipside
spin clip>whirl>gyro clip>whirl>spin clip>whirl>run
footed a really clean mealstrom
footed 4 straight ps whirls.. when will I hit this move :(
footed spin zulu le loup many times
finally hit PLO>flip smear
4 consec zulu clips

stopped session because my knee are weak.. too much whirls on them :) at least its worth the effort.. tomorrow will be more pixie work

no gyro DLO today, unlike past 3 sessions, BUT on every good effort put trying the move it was footed, or over dexed.. so it does'nt seem too hard for me :D

nice session, 5th in 5 days.
FLIP DLO MIDSTRING AND BSOS! (only hit it once)
gyro DLO again (I'll stop reporting as its not so hard for me)
flip dyno midstring many times
ducking buterfly>ducking clipper>spinning whirl! :twisted:
close to flip spinning whirl, the whirl is more fluid in the spin, but I hit my ankle most of the time dexing the bag.. got a couple of worthy tries
smear>smear>run>flip smear>pixie toe stall :( close to flip smear>smear midstring tough..
footed paradon>barfly .. I need to fix flipside so I can hit barflys on it too.. seems impossible.. same for dbl switch.. so hard on flip
