I should probably wait a few days and upload all at once but that’s no fun and who doesn’t like a bump every now and then? 😅 Free form trick I guess? Trapeze\>suicide\>some kind of wrap thing. Also, Happy Mother’s Day! ---

I feel like this is the last week where i manage to do everything. 720 was easy but the advanced gerbil wheel was really challenging and spirals very hard for me to land. It is still really fun to learn and i can see myself playing more 5a after the event is over!

And here’s a freeform entry: a responsive 5a planet hops thing (can be a repeater but hard to get consistent). I don’t know if this has been done before but I discovered it while I was messing around last fixed axle february.

For me it’s just nearly impossible for me to give focus to more than one thing at a time. Once I start having to track 2 objects…I lose both of them. I continue to grow in my respect for those who make this style look so amazing. ---
