Default More Agility video clips

Here are some more agility clips--agility in the real world where I
often screw up! They're from the Lawrence Kansas trial last weekend.
These files are between 2.5 and 4 megs each. The smaller ones were so
lossy that it was just too difficult to see. On my cable modem it takes
about 30 seconds to load the largest one, or you can right click and
download to your computer.

agility in the real world =ADwhere I
often screw up!


Ain't it the truth! Sham and I debuted in Novice at her jump height
last weekend, and while we Q'd twice in standard, *I* blew both
jumper's runs. (Well, one was because she knocked a bar, but if I had
set her up for the jump better, she probably wouldn't have.) It just
goes so fast, I'm finding it hard to think on my feet. If all goes like
I planned in the walk-thru, no too bad. But when something happens, my
brane circuits are just too slow switching over to Plan B.

I've sent Sham with a friend a couple of times when I couldn't go (who
had a 100% Q rate with her, btw) but I've decided that I'm going to
stop doing that for now, because it is ovious that it's not *her* that
needs the experience... ;-)

And I do look forward to viewing them when I get time! It does help me
to watch other performances of all types. Although I have found that I
learn a course best when I memorize it from the map first - not what I
will do on it, just the order and placement of the obstacles. For a
map-challenged person, this came as quite a surprise!!

That will come. After the number of years I've been doing it I have no
such excuses. However, I *will* give a couple of reasons why I don't Q
as often as I should. Viva is extremely sensitive to body movement. If I
cue just a hair early or a hair late, things don't go well. If my
shoulders are even an inch out of place, it will affect her. This is
both good and bad--on the good side, she's a dream to run because she's
so responsive. On the bad side, it takes just a tiny misjudgment on my
part to blow a run.

With Cala, I've got to learn a whole different language. She runs very
differently than Viva, with much more distance. We're still feeling each
other out and I expect it to be another year before we really start
running in the semblance of a team.

Right. You need the experience.

I did that for a very long time, and will still look at a map if it's a
really complex course. The map is really good for getting down placement
of obstacles, then you can walk the course for strategy not for what
comes next. These days I generally just walk the course but I have to be
careful--I almost left out an entire pinwheel on one course last
weekend, and then the last two jumps (which doubled back an unexpected
direction) in another. I've actually lost a Q that way, when I thought
the second to the last jump was the last one and touched my dog!
