head bounce, 3 rings, 4 rings, 5 rings, 6 rings, 7 rings, 8 rings, 4 balls, 270 minutes

Ring practice at Camcircus. Generally good- got some new things :)

Head bounce ok. Tried some new stuff without the juggle- 3 up 360 and 531 into the bounce. Also, got the ball bouncing from a balance for the first time. Needed to really jump though- not the smoothest start. Plausible attempt at 5 catches of 3 balls, but not super close today.

Warmed up with some filmed 5 rings and 5 up 360 attempts. No successful 360s again, but the general pattern is looking better. Elbows more stationary at least.

Pancakes was good. A couple of qualifying runs and 14 catches clean which is a new pb. I keep wandering forward and left, but I'll put up with that for the moment until I can run the pattern a bit longer.

Tried halfshower with 5 in async. Didn't really get anywhere. Maybe should try in wimpy with 4 to get the hang of the same height throws. Full flatfronts had a couple of decent (qualifying) runs, but nothing spectacular. Should film it.

7 was ok. 3-5 qualifying runs- got 16 catches clean. Throwing forward a lot. Pushed for 10 catches of 8 in sync since my right hand was reasonably undamaged by this point. So close many times. Got the first 4 pairs maybe 3 times. Struggling with the collect still, but the throws were much more even and using smaller motions by the end, which was nice. More work with the right hand needed.

Moved down the numbers and did the 180->360 with 3 and 4 rings in sync. 4 up 360 into sync half pancakes. Tried 2 up in pancakes, need some variation in my 4 pancake work. Also got transition out of (6x,4)* into 3 up 360 maybe 2nd or 3rd attempt, which I have thought about trying for a while now, but haven't got around to.

55550 bxx still a way off- filmed the attempts, but need to watch in slow-mo for a better look at what my left hand is doing wrong. Main problem seems to be panicking and making the throws jerkier and shorter, resulting in throws 3 and 4 going miles wide. Will slow down next time.

6 rings was amazing- several runs over 50 and a new pb with 86. Felt really good- 100 by end of EJC definitely plausible. Must be that work on 3 and 4 in my right hand- should have done this months ago.

Finished with some balls by finally working up to and landing the 1 high 3 low shower 360. Tried to film it from the balcony, but phone ran out of storage :( Just the 1080 left now...
