Basically, I am participating in a weekend intensive taught by Kinoko Hajime in about a month, and I don't want to fucking embarrass myself with dumbass issues.
So my first set of goals is to strip back to some basics and hammer them.
1. Tension, especially for TKs. I know I tend to tie on the looser side of things, and I have to consciously tie tighter. I want to improve the tension and evenness of my wraps and the the tension of all the other lines. More bottom feedback about whether something feels loose or tight. Also I am terrible at getting the stem in the center of the back without having to haul the wraps around the body -- how to improve?
2. Rope handling. My handling isn't bad, and I can tie fast, but I need to slow down a little bit. My rope tangles frequently -- take a few seconds to play it out when adding a new rope.
3. Line management, quick and clean tie offs. Break the habit of always tying off at the top; stagger the hitches. Remember and practice different tie off than my usual 2-hitch + quick release bundle.
