inspinning? From toe? I remember the first or second session you and I ever had we were trying that. :lol: I'm very, very proud. What time did you get back from the DACKS? We missed you at the fair.

I suppose it also marks the last of the summer sessions with you because I go back to school on monday (and I'll be at funtastiks and stuff this weekend). So: it's been fun! But I must take my leave for a little while at least. Siena has some pretty random fall breaks. And people leave on the weekends a lot because campus life sucks. So I'll let you know when I make trips back to Syracuse. See if you can get in contact with Josh Digges. ESF has already started so he's in town (and a whopping ~6 minutes from my driveway).

:wink: I'll be keeping an eye on your blog to make sure you hit whirl by the time I come back to syracuse.

EDIT: well what I MEAN is that whirls are giving Ben a hard time and it'd be great to see them a lot more from him by the time I come back on break or something. I'm sure he's hit them before. I think. I don't know. I'll stop writing.

thanks for the support guys.

ususally when i try whirls my dexing leg doesnt want to dex, it just kind of moves in a vertical motion and i cant get it to go circular for some reason. and i always kick it with my dexing foot. killing my bags doing that.

(ok, fine)

that trick was ok. the clipper wasn't clean even though you had the clipper in place below the bag forever. try again and see if you can do it without a "the" gyro, and a nice clean set to end it and not a rolly-barely-sealed-it catch.

(is that better)?
