Flipping Goals 2013

I didn't see a new thread on this so I thought I'd go ahead and start one. I'm not a world class flipper so my goals are modest. I want to:
1. Finally get zero gravity chaplins down.
2. Get reliable with aerials. I've just started working on that again.
3. And work on my off hand.

How about you?

Most of the regulars hang out on balisong-techniques.com so the arena is getting overrun by smurfs that don't do shit.

Will you hurt my feelings. My goals are to be as good with my offhand as well as my main hand currently. Be able to zero gravity chaplin. Develope my own personal style. Win/lose some challenges. Get a tachyon 2. Continue having fun. And last but not least... evolve from being a smurf :TU:

Make a vid that transcends the regular flipping crowd and is watched by those who don't have an Internet in knives.

Mine are to get better with my off hand, to master helix aerials and scissoring, do more challenges, and participate in FATOC this year.

You're the exception :TU: but there have been a number of new guys that don't do anything.

You're name is in blue. By definition, you're a smurf.

Goal: integrate both hands more cleanly. Match all moves I can do with my right hand on my left. Invent my own moves and post tutorials on Youtube. Improve my video production quality. Buy a Tachyon II.

Just looked on here and saw I finally got some replies on this thread. I doubt I'll be ready for FATOC but I do want to do some more vids. I have one in mind. Also, I've got my first 42 in mail right now so I'm excited to start working with it.

Well I have to say I have a bunch things I need to work on but these are things I would really like to focus on.
1) Get better at aerials. I was doing some tonight and with a little prick to the hand, I realize I have a way to go. I want to eventually do a Van Gogh.
2) Start back on twirls. Such a basic thing, but something I am not smooth with.
3) Zero Gravity Chaplins are a good one for me to work on as well.
