Whirling Vid

Post by *Jethro* »

Hey,
I made a video of a majority of my whirling tricks. Some hard, some easy. I am confused on if my technique is correct because I have heard so many different opinions on them. It would be reallllly good if you could tell my how I can improve them or what is wrong with them.

Its about 1min 30secs long and 11mb.
I made it good quality so you can see exactly whats going on.

thanks!

EDIT:
I know some of them are thin

[EDIT:] Man... you got some serious troubles with those, my advice is to quit playing.

The last combo and last trick were nice.

Honestly, I've not seen any problem with Jesse's whirls. The video isn't the best forum for judging, however, and the only true way to be sure is to wait until Aust Champs in Jan.
But I admit that if you've got a problem - which you don't - but if you did, you'd want to fix it well before then.
Comment in the BCS blog if you feel the need to.

yeah basically your whirls are fine and the person who told you otherwise is a fucking c-throat who should be strangled with his own intestines.

Hey Jesse, your Whirls look good man, and I agree with what O'Wheelj said ;)

A bit of advice though, it looks as though your strong Pdx Whirl and PS Whirl does the dex pretty close to the ankle, almost as though you are pulling your knee in closer to your body. This was the same problem I had with my weak Pdx Whirl, and half the time it wasn't clean.

If you kept your knee out and dexed it more with your calf, I think it would make that Pdx Whirl a lot more reliant and easier to play out of since the bag will be closer to your body when you catch it on your Clipper.

That's just my observation though. Otherwise, I have to agree that that Whirr was totally clean :wink: .

What a fun video -- that was seriously awesome :D
I made a whirl video after I had been first schooling whirls for months on end, too, except my video was nowhere as cool @___________@
