Going to rock out at Shadow Lounge fairly soon. Kinda want to catch a cab or bus or something; the wait will be terrible. Will be a dope time. Going for cleanliness and short combo execution. Hoping I can get into a rhythm to pull off bigger combos.
My car got blocked in, no bus, no cab, no dancing.
Whim Thursday?
Owner or manager really appreciates the dance; he thanked me for coming through when it was just me. I just wanted to get a tough practice in.
Was pretty tight by the end. I got there early so I did a few runs. Put some power together and super clean footwork early so I thought it was going to be a crazy practice. When everyone else showed up I was a step behind where I was, but it was still a great practice. Heads going hard, Prabu looking better and better! 2000 > headstop was real shaky. My 2000 balance overall was shaky. Definitely put in some work footwork wise, a couple sets I felt inspired like in sophomore/junior year at CMU. Will hopefully be starting work soon, need to keep the intensity while holding business down.

Tuesday
Focus is what I was trying to get at yesterday. Plus air power attempts. Yay for CMU practice!
Really hard not to prep flips, I was trying to do thread > loser and I had to take a step first all the time. I got back somersault to front flip, I had forgot I had it. I did the side flip but same issues even though make some progress. I keep forgetting to try to push myself up from footwork with my arms. I tried elbow airflare from standing and Jose is telling me my form is right so I'm going to start pursuing that move hard now. Colorado was like the hyperbaric (sp?) chamber in Dragon Ball Z. Now I can out rock practice time. It's different now, like I'm tired but the quick 2min breaks get me to a level now where I can throw down good power or quick sets. Man I feel a lot more control over my power. Even when fucking up my hand spin moves, I just calmed down and noticed that I wasn't taking the time to balance myself before committing. Real good practice.

Back in Pittsburgh
It was a great trip and I got to meet a lot of Colorado heads! The battle didn't go so well, not passing showcase prelims. I don't care too much though. I went and did my set and cyphered hard in some altitude. Some ideas for tonight:
1. flares > pushback to head bridge > jump to stab > jump toe touch > thread > loser > slow step
2. new and improved! side round off > exploding side flip
3. try stepping into flips instead of prepping them
4. use arms to push when standing up
I am so bad! I tried 2 but the round off was too long and didn't shoot me up. Forgot to do the rest. The practice was super ill though. I really feel the fruits of my Colorado training in that I have a bit more wind in me. :) GDG and DWG showed up to practice today. Some musicians rolled through too and we danced to their music. It was quite organic, but the cello made it sound like a cheezy Microsoft commercial. Fun times and some good moves.
