so i'm trying to do a double tailwhip, but i can't seem to force my foot over the tt. not sure if it's fear or what, but every time my foot immediately grabs the tt. i gotta get this down before april.

Short ride today but really good. Worked on backwards hang 5s. First time ever I really found my balance point and was able to go as far as I wanted without feeling squirrely. Now I feel that some of the rolling tricks I thought were beyond my reach are totally doable. I think this is what progression feels like. I also figured out that my OG balance is short enough that it will fit in my trunk which means I can start riding on my lunch breaks!

got some riding in with Dave last night, very sore today. in my time off the bike I've gotten kinda out of shape. my body feels like a "loaner" right now, everything's super hard and foreign haha. it's getting better tho, had about 20 minutes worth of semi on-point riding during the session so that felt pretty cool. ride on guys!

WOW Progression today!!! I was riding with Jim and Randal tonight at the O.G. and I had a spurt of progression. Its been awhile since that has happen for me. I was so very close to landing a Juggler today its not funny. I pulled up on my opposite side and was able to switch back to my normal side. I was so excited with I switched I bailed out..hahaha. I got to keep trying that. I also am getting very close to a Lung spin. I have the one footed bar twist down now. I just need to learn to spin it around. Tonights session was Amazing....Can't wait for the Saturday!
Keep on Riding!

i hope you guys realize how great it is to ride with others.
i'm feeling very discouraged about this frame issue. i'm not trying to switch so often but i feel i need to find the right fit for me.
end of rant.

yeah, that's a tough one. the LTF is large frame. global-flat loves it, but I think it would be hard to ride for strictly flatland. anyways, hope you find what works, no shame in changing if something's not working out. I dreamed of messiah's last night again, second night in a row. i'm hoping to finish up my projects today and get in some riding before the sun sets; we'll see. i'm totally obsessed with "getting" that trick, and very stiff from all the riding lately. i love it

i feel your pain. i've had 15 handlebars. ironically, due to that i can get used to any bar, but i've developed preferences, which is a beautiful thing.

I'm sporting some "metal years" now, had to redo my brake cables and time/riding will tell if I keep them. ;D edit: got some riding time in the driveway with the nused setup and it felt pretty good, I think the taller height is making the bike feel a little more stable. I had a breakthrough too which was awesome, I managed to switch feet on my forkglide and ride a short bit, until I got so stoked I freaked and dropped the bike basically lol Hoping to ride more this week, who knows, maybe Saturday will be the day I pull my first glide ;D

Short ride today but I pulled 4 boomerangs to pedals. It's a pretty big deal for me. I've been able to do flails and boomerankles, but I've never been able to get the bats to whip around at the end. Woo-hoooooo!
