Blocked

I'm working on tail blocks. It seems it's another mellow trick, that you can quickly integrate in a line.

What I underestimated is how much work the bending-down-and-grabbing-the-nose part is. I guess that's aging right there.

And that "scoop" motion to pop onto the edge of your tail and balance there also takes a little bit more practice than I thought.

But, we'll get there.

I'm going to re-assess and work my way up from kickturns with nose grabs, to letting the tail scrach, to popping into a tail block during the turn.

It's just practice, it's fun and it's low consequences.
