Cool man, thanks for the tips. We actually kicked it up yesterday at Heights park in Richardson. Derric, Matt, Jeremy from San Diego, some other fellow, my friend and myself. It was really helpful watching them pull some big tricks and even MORE helpful to pick up a Mr Sandman bag. I can easily get front and inside stalls and did all the ATWs for the first time. My clipper is pretty sketchy and needs some work.
