Hey guys.
I had a couple sessions this week.
I was really happy with the blurriest drill finally. I know the duck is missing on the last trick in the tapping DLO drill. Sometimes it's hard to tell when doing the trick Also, I don't think the angles really help with the double downs in the second video, but I was trying to add some spice instead of the same angle for a whole session... I think I'll work on more core downtime and uptime stuff separately next, since my runs are kinda boring and the same tricks and combos all the time. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Comments are always greatly appreciated.

Only suggestion/request would be for more torques/mobius. Your look really good, so throwing more in randomly would be cool. I also liked your inspins in a recent video, so I'd request more of those.

Thanks for taking the time to film and release video. I think people watch, even if comments can be hard to come by these days.

Atomic ss whip looked really cool. Nice unique trick.

[Muffinman]

Thanks guys
Ken: Yeah, the three tricks I wanna do more of, or, like, maybe even every run, are torque, eggbeater, and double down. I wanna work in blenders and dynos too, but one step at a time I guess. I avoided torques for a while because they were too twisty on my back. Strangely, I don't get that with mobius.
Justin: Thanks. I never thought much of it, maybe I'll do more, although I kinda like the feel of atomic whip better.

"since my runs are kinda boring"
I like all of your vids and am never bored by them. All the whips give you a pretty unique style. If anything I'd like to see more gyro tricks. Gyro whip would be a pretty cool set up trick. Sick vids Eric. Keep em coming.

Right on Erik - your atomic sets look great, you should link more stuff out of them (like fusion which was great too!)

Gyro DLO can look so badass midstring and you got it down! All your DLO stuff looks tight but the biggest improvement looks to be your double dexes. Way to get those fast and strong.

Like Ken said, more mobius! morebius.

Haha.
Funny! I've been rewatching the Spider-Man series that I grew up with in the 90s, and just watched the first Morbius episode last night Thanks guys. I think I JUST started to get my game back again right after my last session with you, Dante :p I think that day was my worst session to date >____< Too bad we never got that session going in the London area while you were in Stratford. Let me know when you're back in the area -- I'll be here for a few years...

Great shred as always Erik. It amazing and inspires me that after such a long career you continue to improve. I really like all of the difficulty you have in your game, especially in these videos that provide highlights. What I would like to see are some longer strings that are padded with 3s and 4s that show a more subtle game with an occasional eplosion here and there; think Bila Laviche. The last few strings in your second video are good examples of this.
