1974, year of the Curtain

Well there it is then.. your new challenge...

100 alternating Inside Kicks

Once you can do that, you will notice a gain in your control.

[PrunusAberration]

Snap, 100 toe flicks. That's crazy cool. They are the bane of my existence. lol Still trying to break my old record of 15x. Haha! Looking forward to see your video of my challenge for you.

Update: I have also replied to your toe flick question. Is that the correct name for them?

Flip Blur > Far Clipper > Blur > Handcatch > Exhilaration > Celebration.

Everything including the hand catch was SOLID. Felt SO GOOD.

Btw: I think they are called toe kicks.

[Add Block]

Nice, Blur is awesome. Try Blizzard sometime, that trick feels great to hit, especially if you learn it really well. A lot of tricks just become mundane when you master them, Blizzard's not one of them.

[MetZelRio]

Yeah, I already do blizzard bsos though. It's easier than blur for me.

[krustykrakk]

...behind the back honza-esque catch, ending in a bow?

Props on that shit doe. Now replace the far clipper with dimwalk and repeat.

[MetZelRio]

No, just very controlled. No jump for the bag or reach. I could have kept going, but mission accomplished and I didn't want to drop on an easy trick.. dimwalk in between? Doable.

Anyone ever want to do something that will have objections to it if you say anything about it, so you know you should just do it anyway and just not tell anyone you are doing it just to avoid the drama? It's not illegal or unethical, but just something you want to do, but people will object so you just act. Yeah.

[MetZelRio]

If I dont see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight =)

[krustykrakk]

Hey, thanks for the video and shout out! I appreciate it and, again, am glad you like the bag. I personally hate the illusion dex but enjoyed the dyno/rake combos. You are a rakist,

Dude, your Drifters are lookin' fly! And props on the first Bubbabeats, both sides, yet? I challenge you to hit a 30 contact Tiltless and above string, with at least 7 3's up in it. If that's too easy, make it 10. Seems like you are playing pretty frequent, hope that stays consistent. Glad you posted a full length video, thanks.

[F[uns]tylin' Eclectic]

Very nice stuff, man. I enjoyed the Mario theme Your consistency is really pushing, I can tell. I'd like to challenge some of those Trick A> Trick B> Hand catch links on flipside. Repeating tricks that you can hit b2b is a huge help. Everything is looking great. Keep doing it. Looking forward to meeting you at NYJ

[MetZelRio]

Let me confess. Im a flipside addict. I don't feel like I can really do a trick unless I can do it flipside or even BSOS it. Then it's official that I've done it. Confession: Paradon. I have had 3 sessions where I've "done" paradon bsos or just flipside, then watched on video and found out it was a really exaggerated looking butterfly. No illusion dex AT ALL! but while I'm attempting it, I am convinced I had it. Apparently, I don't know how to double down on flip AT ALL, and it's certainly not because of lack of practice or effort.

Other than that, I am dedicated to the flip process, so I would have included those flip clips. However 1.) They don't exist and 2.) This was footage I just threw together because I had that idea for the dire dire docks song. So this wasn't really a special. Mostly just previously released clips thrown together with music and (un)fancy editing. Thanks you guys for saying nice things.

[Matt K]

You've got a lot of really nice form. Color me impressed. Keep it up.

[MetZelRio]

[Add Block]

I was expecting good form and clean style on the usual stuff, but not on the harder tricks, so you surprised me there. Two things surprised me: you're really good at ducking, and the semi-random Fairy DLO. I think that trick is called Glaucoma, I've read that somewhere like 5 minutes before you posted the video. Really good editing as well.

I know what you're talking about with one of the Paradon dex not being there. A couple weeks ago, I made up a trick, Reverse Paradon. To me, it felt like Far Miraging Whirl, and I could really feel both dexes, but people kept telling me it's just exaggerated Whirl. I had to really slow the dexes down before people could see the second dex.
Try filming them and slowing it down, sometimes the human eye is not good enough.

[boyle]

Awesome stuff Paul, your game is looking great. Really liked the different ducking mirage tricks.

[MetZelRio]

Wow. Let me say this. Okay, I'm saying it. I really look up to all you guys that commented, so all that positive feedback is kind of emotionally overwhelming. Thank you so much. I'm so glad to have connected with folks in this community. It means a lot to me to have you all around.

Today's practice:

All basic Legover drill first try
All basic Mirage drill first try
All basic Pickup drill first try
Eggbeater first try
Flip Eggbeater (my first flip egg)
Strong side Bubbabeater (my first strong bubbabeater)
Dada curve BSOD (hit first try)
Dada curve B2B
Refraction BSOD
Long string with lots of illusions bs
Gyro clipper bsos
Ripwalk b2b footed 1st try (stepping is feeling consistent)
Drifter first try (that's the way it ought to be, and every time)

Got 2 new pairs of footbag shoes. New(old) lavers for 11 bucks and new G units for a Tad bit more than 11 dollars. Like 12...or something =/ Let's see how I like them. =)
