Today I
Completed my 3rd Dan! (Self assessed, of course)
I started off with the moshikame, I did 684 clicks (strung)
Next up slip on stick - 1 miss
Then earth turn - 3 misses
After, falling down - 1 miss, annoyingly it was only on the lighthouse section
Then a perfect run of reverse swing in
After, a terrible run of around the cosmos - it took me 8 attempts for 3 successful runs
Next bird - missed my first attempt, had a perfect run for the next two, then ended the third on my 7th attempt
After that, it was my big throw back. Hanging spike, my nemesis!
[1] - a perfect run of two hanging spikes, then a big run of failure. I ended my run on the 10th attempt!
Then, jumping stick - took me 8 attempts, 3 of those where failed on aeroplane!
1-turn aeroplane - took me 3 attempts
1-turn lighthouse - my first attempt succeeded, but then I lost my concentration and it fell off in the 2nd still second. My second attempt worked though
I then had a big rest! I had dinner, during a mouthful of chicken casserole I rememberd, "Speed Trick B!"
Swing to candle - excellent, quick start as well
Around the prefecture - good
Around Japan X2 - good, could easily be faster
Around the world X2 - ^above
Around Europe - I missed the first spike twice! I then had a reasonably fast run
Earth turn - very fast!
Bird and in - missed the first and second attempt, then a rathe slow run
Jumping stick - 1 miss
1-turn aeroplane - 3 misses (but quick fails)
Falling down - medium speed
All in all 1:24 seconds!
At the BKO 2014 I hope to at least get my 2nd Dan!
