Footbag Notation?

Post by bulio » 20 Apr 2005 18:51

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has any simple guides on footbag notation?

Ie: dex>whirl etc.

I checked on footbag.org but don't really understand it.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

I wrote a Job's Notation tutourial at http://www.hackrifice.com/faq.html I hope it helps. Sam Hufschmid, from Switzerland, also posted something about this -- he is doing a project on Job's Notation and was asking anybody interested in learning Job's to email him ( http://www.modified.ca/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=8867 ). Good luck.

Ben Job was a multi-talented individual. He was a bad-ass skateboarder, could ollie over garbage cans, etc. He came onto the scene in Boulder, Colorado, when Daryl Genz interested him in freestyle. He was a real quick learner, largely overtaking my one and a half years of learning in about 3 months. First guy I ever saw hit blurry whirl. Cool and funny too, real nice. He was serious about his studies, though (electrical engineering, I think; something techy anyway) and dropped out of the freestyle scene as quick as he'd entered it, sticking around just long enough to invent his now famous notation system for the sake of a college class he was taking. He showed up, made his mark, and disappeared, all in under a year. A rare kind of person, I guess.

THANK YOU!

I always wanted to know something about him. Well, I would have liked to see him shredding
