Much Better!!

No big a-frame problems tonight..he veered off on the right side a bit, but not as bad...and hes already getting running contacts down as well. Everytime he stepped well into the contact zones and kept a really level head about being let loose like that. It wasnt the most speedy, but it really saved on that extra stopping bit (looked like it was easier on his body), and I think he will only continue to get faster with it. We also used the teeter in part of a course, he did the best hes done. We had some fun coursework today, only one knocked bar and only one faceplant (Yoshi is still tending to peel out around corners sometimes). I found out that if Dustin holds him during the class, that he acts a bit better and it doesnt make me so nervous (when he thrashes and whines about trying to go run, it just makes me nervous!) At the end of class we made a beautiful tunnel entrance with a difficult full speed going at it with the other side and the a frame that was dead on from the jump being the most appealing things. I can barely fault him tonight, he did better than I expected..and maybe the a-frame isnt a big problem =)

Last but not least......He did his first inline set of 6 weaves..it wasnt necessarily pretty, and it was a bit slow...but he did it... I opened the channel up and let him rip through them. I also made him enter with me at a distance..he did wonderful.
