Did u start shooting higher arc?
shyt, where do I start?

-For longer range shots (22+ feet) I had to stop jumping so fukking high. I was shooting like Derrick Rose where I took the absolutely the highest leap for my shots, leaving me less
power during actual release.

- I did adjust the arc on my shots, cause a better arc = mathematically better chances of that ball going in. Not to mention I now understand the "shooters touch".

-Altered my release point and switched my release to a more natural fit in the ball. I was forcing an unnatural grip to try to roll the ball off my middle finger, when truthfully, any shot
rolling off the middle finger, index, or somewhere between both are good.

-Trimmed my release timing so my jump and release had less delay between the two. Getting a shot off a quarter second sooner is meaningful when being guarded.

I'm getting older and tricks are starting to make more sense. Even learned how to kickflip out of manuals yesterday:blessed:

TBH, easy. If you are already into computers, and by that I mean you look at hardware sites and whatnot, it's cake. The problem is knowing HOW to answer the questions, not
so much knowing the answers. How does one go about solving a blank monitor screen with no beeps from the motherboard? There are a few ways, but Comptia would ask
you something VERY specific. You can put in a couple weeks with casual studying and be up to speed, and use the student discount to get over. It's easy.

Yea, i'm with the street skating. fukking suck at tranny (pause:mjlol:) and anything else remotely vertical. I love bombing hills, practicing flat an parking lots, botching
back tails on ledges:francis:This is one of the reasons I am so hyped to get this camera for Christmas

fujifilm_handson_02.jpeg

It's gonna cost 1.3k WITHOUT accessories, but one thing I love about skateboarding is just waking up, picking a direction, and just going. So many times I wish I had my camera,
but carrying it is a bytch, even with how small it is. I wanna be able to pop ollies and shyt without my camera coming down on me like a stone. With a high-end compact, I could
go anywhere and get photos of shyt I didn't even know existed in my neighborhood:letyasoulglow:
