Had a long sunny session today with some fun stuff:
- 1-turn lighthouse-insta-somersault to lighthouse to in
- Airplane - tap spike - 1-turn in

And my favourite, the mooncircle bird, which has eluded me for so long.

Also got to the base cup in Around the Galaxy.. One of these days.

Oh yes, I forgot that little teaching session with you, Martin and Rich. Glad you're hitting them.
Nice moves, Hans!

Today I had a quick play at a new balance combo I've thought of, before rain chased me indoors.

Picked up the kendama again last week. had a long break away from it.

Nice to be back at it.

Landed lunar tap earplane.. so that was nice

Nicely done, emagdnim, welcome back

Out in the forest yesterday, landed axe somesault to axe. Rather pleased with myself!

Cripes, Donald, nice! Emagdnim, I find my hair gets in the way of earplane.

Yesterday I had a 6th Dan practice at the juggling club. 3 of 4 fails on the 8/10s. Rustiness or artificial lighting? Hmmm.

Haha, I can imagine @The Void just waiting for that one to get a second mention and deserve a little vid. What's next, Facewalk?

Today I practised my line for the up-and-coming Collaboration Video, which I've scandalously left so late this year. Who else is in the dock?

Today I turned a corner with my swing in. I've always found it oddly difficult compared to airplanes. However I noticed after about half an hour practice that I had a slight out swing going on. My consistency has gotten better.

Respect!

I foresee this trick appearing on next year's EJC list.

The Void · 14 May, 2016, 00:20:32

Yes, John! Consistency rocks.

Today I went outside for a quick play in the last of the afternoon light. Stilt>Somersault to Lunar>Stilt>Lighthouse>Falling. Without the camera running. Oh well, it felt nice!

KenSan · 14 May, 2016, 08:58:12

Sounds like a nice little line @The Void

The Void · 14 May, 2016, 14:37:37

Cheers. Today I practice-passed 6th Dan, in daylight. That seems to be the biggest limiting factor for me. Artificial light is a killer.

SEB · 17 May, 2016, 09:34:17
