roller coasters!
« on: July 12, 2013, 12:21:23 AM »
Tonight for the first time I tried roller coasters (to the hand). I just did 2 roller coasters in the same throw.  Very exciting!  While it is tempting to try to improve more, I must sleep sometime.

Cometa Orion.  I got some on eBay on a whim and really like them.

The next step is to get actual regeneration.

That is great!
But it is quite difficult to regen with roller coasters to hand.  You should definitely learn to lasso as it is much easier to keep the top going with roller coasters to string.

I've made a couple of lasso catches from throwing the top from my hand. I have not been able to swing that into a RC. If I can learn a few more tricks I may meet my goal of 15 ladder points.

Nice. I always fail to even get the lasso. I hope to have some one on one time with Ta0 at Worlds to fix that problem.

There will be lots of one-on-one tutoring at worlds. There will be plenty of players that will be able to help you with your lassos.
