So today was the day something clicked in my head and I "got it." I'm a proud beginner, and TODAY was the day that I made a tiny adjustment in my thinking and went from doing horribly inconsistent basics, struggling to get htws and crosses (and not even dreaming of consecutive atws, though I've hit two a few times).... to getting four htws in a row (not consecutive, but without any drops -- a first for me), easy crossovers (with style, even) and a generally massive upgrade in my skills. I made a little mental change ("cross your toes a bit") and then it all felt different, possible. Don't get me wrong, I still suck at freestyle, but I got considerably better at it today.
What was your "eureka" moment? And I don't mean when you got your first nt combo, I mean when you first started out and got some basics down, that moment of personal discovery when you realized that yes, you can do this cool shit. Your memories of THAT DAY for you must be vivid, I know I won't forget -- what a great feeling of accomplishment.
