20% Time Blog Post #3 - Balisong

I am going to learn the twirl ladder this weekend. I've been busy with school and haven't had much time to learn any new moves. One of the challenges being it's very hard to flip with cold hands. My dexterity is generally decreased when it's cold. The twirl ladder is an advanced maneuver that uses all fingers which is a big step for me. This is because I never use my pinky because I'm not that good yet. I'll have to put a lot of time and effort in to get this one down so it will probably be pretty sloppy still by the next blog post.

   Over the past few weeks unfortunately I haven't learned much of anything. One of the questions I have is if I will be able to learn these moves and be able to do them smoothly in a combo. One challenge I'm facing is that I'm hitting a plateau, meaning that I'm staying at the same skill level. I really hope to learn the twirl ladder by next week because I'm disappointing myself by putting it off. On the bright side, I got a Squidtrainer V3.5 on Monday November 4th. It cost $180 and it might be some of the best money I've ever spent. It has increased my smoothness in certain tricks and I feel a lot more confident with this trainer. I was originally going to get a live blade but plans changed so I got the V3.5. I'm very happy with my purchase but I am still hoping to get a live blade by the end of the year. Here's a picture of the Squidtrainer.

The new LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen smartphone isn't exactly what comes to mind when thinking "revolutionary folding smartphone," but its price is unbeatable. Here is the link to LG's website -  https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones?cmpid=SEM_MU_Phone_G8X-NPI_Subcat_Google_MC-NPI-GGL-Srch-Brand-G8X-Only-BMM-+lg+g8x&gclid=CjwKCAiAwZTuBRAYEiwAcr67OVFWa3rIN4B8OUoHXVD5s4QUSqkn1bSca-fPV4Z2IFHdPxO-hkEvABoCZEkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds The LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen phone can be used primarily with dual screen capabilities, but the second screen can be detached when going minimalist. You can use two apps at once without constantly having to toggle between them. The second screen is pretty much identical to the phone's screen, it even has the same camera cutout - even though there is no camera. The 6.4" OLED Fullvision Displays allow you to multitask like never before. The phone itself has a 4000 mAh battery for insane battery life, before adding the second screen. It f...
