The ever popular "Today I..." thread

...landed Clifftop> (Earth Turn)Small Bird > Spike. On film! That wasn't properly focussed! 

[shalafi]

Today I landed 7 jumping sticks in a row. I usually fail after 2 or 3, so very happy

[shalafi]

And I just did Speed Trick B in 1:42, my personal best and at the first try

Best part is: I felt that I could do better.

Yesterday:
I worked on my stilt tricks:
Inward
Stiltwalk
Somersault and more!

---Video to come---

Today:
I got speed trick B under 45 secs three times in a row. Beating my previous record of 49 secs - which I got in my BKA 3rd Dan grading
I landed double loaded gunslinger

Today I landed 1-turn stilt!! Wuhuuu! Find it very hard to find the right amount rotational speed!

...landed Half-Swirl Aeroplane with relative consistency...
...but I can't seem to do with without a kind of upside-down tama-grip sideways Scoop Spike (Stunt Plane type as the American guys are calling it). I think it looks pretty cool and it feels great, but is this still considered a Half-Swirl Aero?  I mean, in a tournament situation? Or does the string have to be between the finger and thumb, so to speak?

[BKA]

If you're asking us, Half-Swirl Aeroplane and Half-Swirl Scoop Spike are different tricks. Grip may be varied, but angle-of-spike-at-catch may not go over the horizontal.

[the milky oolong]

Ah, thanks, [user]BKA[/user], so I think it's ok, as the catch is either perfectly horizontal or higher, the ken exits sort of like in Spacewalk > UFO. Maybe if I get time I could upload a decent bit of footage, but that'll do for me right now

Today I beat my Speed Tric B record again!
32 seconds!


BKO - 39
Wednesday - (last week) 35
Yesterday - 33
Now - 32

Not bad progress me-thinks. My next big goal is under 30

...now on to that pesky moshikame...

[KendamaOC]

I learned Border's Balance and did it for the first time!! So stoked

[BKA]

Nice work guys!
Today we took some photos of prizes that could be heading your[1] way soon....

1.	Collective, non-specific "your".

Today I landed 'around the moon' Don't know if that's a trick name, but small lunar -> 1/2 barrel roll (to big lunar) -> lighthouse -> in. 10/10 would do again.

[quadraptor]

Today I landed two 'similar' tricks -

Aeroplane -> Base Cup
Spike -> Base Cup

I also did my first attempt at Moshi Kame, strung and slow just to get a feel for it.  I started slow for now and only got about 10 before I dropped, but I'll keep practicing it and see how faster and longer I can get

Today I landed 'around the moon' Don't know if that's a trick name, but small lunar -> 1/2 barrel roll (to big lunar) -> lighthouse -> in. 10/10 would do again.

I think it was called something like "Inverse Around the World" super cool trick. There is a thread about "Inverting" tricks.
