400 CONFIDENCE!
« on: August 06, 2007, 04:52:28 PM »
Willgrind and I have been experimenting with phrases and have come to the conclusion that yelling:

"400 CONFIDENCE"

and striking a fantabulous pose, will guarantee in landing a movement you are having difficulty with.




Note: This has only been tested with two footed gainers taking off of 5 ft platforms.
When we move, we move as one.

Act; for the universe will never forget your movement, nor will it ever forgive your stillness.

I'm going to go out now and attempt my first 360 backflip using this phrase.
If I fail, expect a lawsuit.

Sorry to gravedig a bit, but I've got a bit of a story to tell.  Shockingly enough, this tactic actually works.  I was just out training with some friends.  One of them could not do a kong to precision.  He tried once and screwed up his foot a little.  Trying to convince him to do it again, since I knew he could make it, I told him about this thread.  To my surprise, he tried it, and landed the kong to precision.  To sum it up, it was amazing.
