[StringBean]

I started stringing in may around my bithday and i had stopped for about a month because my dad passed away on July 5, 2008. But i have found that stringing allows me to escape from everything. Heres what I came up with.

bad ass brodah! I loved it! I really like how you separate your weaves so it looks like a wallplane weave.. very sexy =P.... I saw you trying to do those flowers... I hate spinning indoors... I have a 7 foot ceiling, so i can put my hand up and put my palm flat on the ceiling... so i really dont have any room to do any extensions or oth moves =/ It saddens me =(

first and most importantly, im sorry for your loss and i hope you and your family are doing well. its nice to see how therapeutic stringing can be. like all outlets, its not somewhere to hide from things forever but somewhere you can go to think clearly for a little while and we all need that.
on to brighter things though, that video was great and i really liked around 3:50 - 4:10 you had a clip with only a tad bit more lighting than the rest of the video but it was just enough to make out your body movements alot better. might be something to consider for future filmed endeavors. i agree with smile about the flowers- tons of fun... when you have the room. it was fun to watch and i urge you to make more. thanks for sharing.

Very well done! You've got a great flow and good transitioning between the moves you do! Your planes also were pretty good throughout the video so I totally give you props for that! Sorry to hear about your dad....you know you have the best of wishes from all of us here at GXG. Stringing is always a good thing to do to help you through the tribulations of life and to celebrate the good things as well! As far as where to improve from where you are now, here are my suggestions: With the flowers, try to really exaggerate the arm motions (I realize you were indoors and this is probably hard, so maybe that's the main problem). Also, you seem to rely on forward weaves, arm wraps and spirals as the main constituents of your routine. These are GREAT MOVES! I'm glad you're doing so well with them....I really think it would help your flow to learn some reverse weaves and really solidify them along with transitioning from forward to reverse. That will really open up some turning and freedom of motion! Also, about the wallplanes, from the part I could see decently, it looked like your upper hand was on top of your arm....try to do an extra rotation and put the upper hand UNDER that arm....this will be a little more difficult, but it will be closer to your body and will look even better. Oh....and more light please!!!!

PS...you look deliciously scrawny! LOL.

lmao at that one!!! (and i needed to laugh too!)

good vid for 5 mo, just need a little more light on the next one. like bryan said, adding some reverse weaves in there and maybe some wind/water mill type stuff.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, mine passed away March 22, 2006 and it still hurts. Dont be a fool like me and keep pushing it away instead of dealing with it because it will come back to bite you in the ass, although in my case, while it turned out to be a good thing for me as a whole, it did completely wreck my college career. and on the same note, dont try to force healing, it will come. If you ever need a friend who does get it, feel free to pm me or whatever.
