Anybody able to outsmart their foot???

It depends on how you make your six. Try making it starting inward and working out...meaning, in keeping with the rotation of your foot. There is a more psychological explanation for this and I'm sure I can type it all out, but for the sake of project deadlines and everyone thinking I am a complete idiot, I will spare you all.

I did it by my thrid try. My closet doors by my desk are mirrors so I just watched my foot and wrote the # 6 slowly in the air.

Too smart for your own good?

Oh Fleck, where would I be without your sarcasm? Better be nice to me if you want to play in Vail again...

i did it but only based on the fact that i was intensly concentrating on my foot.
