Beginner's mindset FTW.

Since you said "hand flips," I'll take this moment to remind you that every time you let your elbow drop to your hip while contact juggling, God kills a butterfly. Then the ghost of that butterfly comes and vengefully makes all your CJ butterflies turn to crap.

I am working on some new moves that I hope to be able to put into a routine. I can do most of these tricks the problem is I can't do them well, or without making funny faces.

I would love to know what everybody thinks! :wave:

Hahahaha that's exactly where I quit regularly practicing two-ball body rolling. Just got a long-lent stage ball back, though... maybe this will light a fire :)

I'm just trying desperately to keep up on FTL, and this is a bad week. >.<

I am working on:
Dipod Stalls, I can now take a walk around the house and keep it up.
Chest rolls, I can continuously roll clockwise, buy gotta work on counter.
Head Stalls, not much progress there.
Bridge rolls, I'm working on doing a bridge roll starting like a folding line because it seems easier than starting like an armroll up to elbow stall.

Just an update to keep me motivated.
