Mission accomplished... Did 2 string last night!! Also was able to land but not return to my hand a around the right leg!!! I am soo happy... my low back... less so =)

Plan for today, I want to play more guitar =) And to make a list of the tricks I know.... And the ones I want to learn!
And then ON it! I want to learn around the arm badly... and that trapeze behind the back combo thingy!
And... and play more with UD tricks... I love UD boomerang... suprisignly I"m still able to get it a year after!

Cheers !!

Hey y'alls!! How is everyone?!? It's been so long!!!

I kind of fell off the top spinning band wagon.. I do still spin from time to time. The latest tricks I was able to start mastering is UD orbits...
I've been obsessed with regen tricks forever and UD orbits ain't one I expected to ever learn but something clicked at some point in the
past couple of months! =)

My current obssesive hobby is playing guitar.. so yeah that steal most of my time =)
Anyway
Cheers
Spinning is life!!!!

Yes, boomerang a top to the fretboard and let it move up and down while you hit the strings!

No, it would be easier with a fretless instrument like a fretless bass or a violin.
I suggested it already in Jim's "Easy Trick series" here.

I'd be quite scared to do this to my instrument =)
That said! Nice to feel the love...

I should try to make a freestyle to the piece I learn... I never just got the energy to do it tho =)

Cheers y'alls
