Challenging slate this week! And 2/4 tricks are better outside and it’s wicked cold here…. Does the lunar landing only count off of a STM or is it also acceptable off a breakaway or snap wind? ---

I have muscle memory from learning stop n pop where the throw always responds on me too. I’ve been focusing on making the throw not respond first and foremost by really making sure I only move my hands apart on the “go”. I’ve also been pulling apart on a diagonal, with my throw hand going lower, to try to encourage the throw not to flip over my non-throw hand. ---

Nice work on those! The Eli hop does need to land back on the trapeze still spinning, no stall. ---
