Tuesday morning part 8: Macoco overhead reaches

Getting really F#$king tired of these errors in uploading BlogSpot. I'm getting ready to just say screw it, it's not worth it, I'm going only on facebook and youtube. This is getting sickening. Especially since none of my videos have any problem uploading on any other site.

I'd show you the video of the monkey flip overhead reaches, but the damn website sucks!!!!!

I'd comment more on this one, because the floor circles are coming around pretty well, but I'm getting really tired and sick of BlogSpot not uploading or processing my videos. Especially since youtube and facebook have no problem with them. Way to go BlogSpot!

Here's the link to the youtube version of the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6WAtbcxpMM&feature=player_detailpage

Tuesday moning part 3: rings combination
