Cool

Yesterday's practice was curtailed due to some tennis events (I also play tennis), but that is perfectly fine. Quality over quantity any day. I practiced airchairs, 1990s, and airbabys and made some good strides. Let's run down the list.

Airchair:

I was able to hold an airchair for about 5 seconds which is pretty impressive. However, I want to be able to roll out of them more effectively and I also need to start piking them so I don't get used to holding it and then crashing. Don't want to develop any bad habits. I also want to increase the amount of variations I can do so flexibility is definitely key.

1990s:

I can currently get .5 of a rotation which is yet again pretty solid seeing how I was only planning on practicing monkey kicks. Now what I need to do is put my right hand out when I'm spinning and also tuck my head in closer to my left arm. Furthermore, I need to secure my handstand position before I start spinning (it makes sense when you see it on video). I suppose I could also push off on my right leg more for more power.

Airbabys:

The only issue is here is that I need more practice so I can find the balance. I've pretty much got it in the bag. The only thing I say here is that I should stab more in the tricep/bicep cross which seems to be the optimal balance point for me. Practice these every OTHER day...These shits hurt.


Goals for today:

Footwork

Airchair
1990s
Flares
Nutcrackers**

Toprock*


*Last priority

**Main priority out of the power

Note: Will be practicing flares on grass so that my wrists aren't as susceptible to injury


Peace
