We worked on countermotion with serp exits tonight. This one was tricky with the mechanics and set up for me. We have been working the serps without motion but this was probably the first time adding any motion. I left this video long because I probably won’t post this exercise again before the class is done. Sorry for trying to smash this all in while you are at the festival with poor Internet!
Kippy RYG Week 4 Sequence 3. I walked a spin from 10-11 and didn’t execute correctly first rep. Second rep I didn’t do the spin but randomly added one at 3-4.
Emmie RYG Week 4 Sequence 1. This was a hot mess. First rep didn’t run it how I walked it at all and then didn’t get the layering. Second rep I did run it now I walked it and still didn’t get the layering. So broke it down on that part. Then I got lazy handling the backside and took it for granted.
Emmie RYG Week 4, Sequence 2. Again, didn’t run what I walked in parts. As I’m editing I think I was mixing up my walkthrus with the two dogs when I ran it. I was going to do a blind between 5-6 for Emmie but then did a FC. And for Kippy I was going to do a FC but ended up doing a BC the first rep.
We’ve been working through RYG Week 4 and the common theme of these is I haven’t been running them how I walked them at all LOL. Here is RYG Week 4, Sequence 2 with Kippy. The way I initially walked it is how I should have run it but for some reason I didn’t run it that way at all. Not until the last rep – then I ran it the way I walked it and we got it right away. Funny how that works. I also apologize for all the barking in the background.
The last couple of weeks we have been focusing on the Serps and Threadles and trying to work up to motion. But we’ve had to have a lot of stationary sessions so haven’t posted anything. We also have done some of the start line work but it was done on a night that I was actually at a facility and didn’t have a camera set up. So I haven’t been able to post much. We did start some parts of the rocking horse with a tunnel. I thought we could get right through this module but I was completely wrong LOL. I spent a few sessions breaking this down into little pieces all the way down to just the wing wraps. So this is a longer video.
Here are Emmie’s attempts at the RYG Week 3 Sequences 2, 3. We had a hard time layering in the first rep for sequence 2 so broke it down and she got it the rest of the attempts. Also had a wide turn so redid the sequence to tighten that up. I am currently trying to train a threadle wrap on a new cue “circle.”. We did have a threadle wrap initially but it’s more based on a lot of support from body language. It was a merge of my threadle and wrap cue “in-in check or dig” depending on what way we are going but I think for the most part Emmie’s understanding of “in-in” is a threadle slice because that’s the instances we use it the most. Most of video clips are of me breaking down the threadle for your feedback. I did try to run the sequence but we kept missing the middle jump so we didn’t finish it. She was nailing the threadle wrap and that was my main focus.
Here is Kippy’s attempts at Week 3 RYG sequences 2, 3. I did attempt the layering this time on some sections. It was much easier with him than with Em. For Sequence 3, I did not do a threadle wrap with him. I don’t have a threadle wrap with him and at this point I’m not going to train it with him lol.
Here is the same RYG sequences with Emmie. We handled 1b two different ways. We threadled the first rep then pushed to backside on the second rep. I just wanted to see how a threadle would work in that situation.
Here is Week 3 RYG Sequences 1a, 1b with Kippy. We struggled the first couple of times with 1-5 with the first sequence. Second sequence was easier for us since we sent to the backside the first time.
