shovelglove user group.

Justin,
Your instructions are very clear, and besides seeming
physiologically effective, chop-the-tree fits in with
the shovelglove ethic perfectly. It's so obvious in
retrospect I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself.
I'll give it a try Monday. I've got 3 undocumented new
movements myself which need video. Maybe I can squeeze
chop-the-tree in this batch as well. And as the
inventor, maybe *you* want to supply the images or
video (no pressure).
Thank you! And congratulations on being the first
non-Reinhard to contribute a movement.
Reinhard

I think Justin described it pretty clearly, but if you have more questions or want to read about other people's experiences with this move,
see the shovelglove bulletin board discussion thread for chop tree.
