Thanks for that! And yes there should be more videos with that much slow mo. !

Yeah, that's really was awesome. Do you call garages basements in the U.S.A.? Hehe. My favourite was the barflies and swirls too!! I couldn't be sure, but it looked like barfly > infinity swirl and then barfly > far reverse swirl (symple?). Props on being so bothsided, it's awesome!!! I love how you keep pumping out videos, it's the best!!! Thanks James! I watch the one with Noah and Aaron like 10 times a day -- LOVE THE MUSIC!!! Oh yeah, awesome choice in this one too!!!!!!

chan,
Its a garage AND a basement. I live on floor two the garage is on floor negative one.
EDIT: I realize now it doesn't look much like a basement with the view from the window,hmmmmmmit may seem to defy laws of physics but I swear its a basement

You were correct with right barfly>infinity swirl then left barfly>op swirl. Both of the swirls should be symple dexes, thought on the butterswirl I jump with both feet.
Ryan, INspinning osis >torque

My pixies are THE in this video and I am working on it. Slow it down, right Damon.

I have the pixies on my flip. Some things I try to think about when cleaning up are:
-bend knee inward
-point toe outward
-angle foot inward
-don't use the support leg for a hop

nate,

I did notice that your pixies were more "footed" than the... lots of people do their pixies like this... I don't personally think it's clean, and I know you can do better. Watch how lon and vasek do theirs, fast pull from the thigh, and a smooth, vertical dex that's led with the knee, not a flip from the calf and ankle. try not turning your ankle in so much, in fact.

<time passes>

hmmm... I just watched that video again... and I'm pretty sure everything on it is clean. the pixie sets are a *little* bit wild, but by and large, I think your style looks great, man. I get really stoked about freestyle watching how much you've improved. it's really unbelievable.

remember funtastiks? "I'm not into big tricks"... imagine if someone told you then that in less than a year you'd be hitting this stuff....

nasty.

You're getting so good. I knew you were going to be skilled ever since Funtastik. We had that circle in the pouring rain. Mike and I couldn't string like 4 tricks because the sandbag felt like 10 pounds soaked with all that water and wouldn't get off our feet when we tried to set. Then Mike puts on a beat and you go over 30. Crazy.

Yeah, great video James! Thanks.

And, yeah, awesome shred Nate! I especially love the variety of tricks that go back and forth clipper to clipper across the front. Its about the most complete demo of those kinds of skills that I can remember seeing all at once anywhere ever. I love it, and envy it, damn it.
