The World Championship is over 2 weeks ago and now very good time to do reviews the best routines.

Start with James Rogers routine! He took 4th place in a competition list.

The full routine with original music which James choose - you can watching here (now in YouTube will be the the link)
Also I write link to the description.

About myself - I watched his routine many times to check all details, i watched with music, without music, normal speed, with 50 % slow motion - so totally I can tell what I like in the routine, which tricks , combinations a visual effects give me a good mood and also I tell which moments for my opinion looks good but not so much.
Also I tried to give some recommendations and tips from my vision.

Let’s start!

James from the first seconds shows that the multiple spins tricks it is his territory and he will be defend it!!

Amazing flying skill - just wants more flow and smooth ending after this hard-rock tricks!
I know James - it is hard! But I am sure you can do it!

Next he comes to the Wire position, look how smooth and elegant he arrives and freeze! Okey next he changes the side , amazing body control, flying on the hard trajectory and start to rotation. And now I have a strange feeling because my eyes wants something wide something that he use the full space of the tunnel, but James stop the energy of rotation to do a short side head up carving. May be too much time in the same area in a Static positions.

Next from position look like “Punch” he do incredible 6th spins breaker - very good!

Now one of my favorite dance-fly combos - I am so much waiting it, now I see the flow , and very good with a music together!!

Next - I am not understand the moment when James for one second grip his leg before helicopter, because wants that this grip was longer or not was grip at all.
Helicopter very nice. Next wall walking - okey I understand it, just wants change direction of a carving to clockwise.

Next James coming to the head up spins rotations in a different positions.
I think the positions he choose is not have a good connection with his style of flying , also have the same direction of rotations which was helicopter and wall walking before.

After that James do short dynamic flying with turns and look - how smooth and amazing he arrived to the “Split” position - and start to rotations in the same direction which was before!!! But rotations looks very amazing and he finished this combo by the super fast officer position incredibly spins! Amazing skill amazing body control! And immediately he do super-powerful 5,5X Flip-twist , just not so clean ending of this trick.

James prepare to the exit and exit - it is looks that he need to go out very fast , because time is finishing soon, and he not so much care that it is looks good. If the entrance gave hope that now it would be unrealistically cool - the exit did not confirm this theory. And looks that routine not finished correctly!

My recommendations:

More clean ending in some tricks
More wide flying
Changes directions
More attention to the connection combinations between the main tricks
And very important for me -
pretty positions frames during the whole routine!

If you carving
do it in a elegant position.

If you do rotations
be sure that positions you choose
looks good for your style and your type of a body.

black suit without colour lines not good for the dark space wind-tunnels , be attention to choose your skin for the performance.

I recommend to do a pre-enter show , and finishing routine with the same passion like you start!

Good wind for James and everyone today and always!)
