We had another great group in for skills camp this weekend. Lots of pivotal break throughs for many campers. We had some extremely experienced students and some brand new ones but all really nice people, so it makes teaching almost effortless. My staff were as [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I have had a few questions come in about my contacts, so here are some answers for you all 1) My "Swing " cue means "turn away from me" it does not necessarily mean turn left. As a matter [...]
I am not a sci fi fan. I have never seen a single episode of Star Trek or Star Wars however I can still appreciate the humour in this clip. It is a crack up. Warning there are some "F-bombs" dropped so it may not [...]
