Tofu is Quantum Blender and not Atomic SS Blender. Because Quantum Blender is Toe Food Processor. Toe Food. Tofu.

Tofu - Quantum Blender
Down Diver - Diving Down Double Down

Hi Bjoern could you make an list sorted by the technicals names? So we have all Atomic, Pixie, Spinning... moves together? I know it's a lot of work but...

As a high-level freestyler who has played for 7+ years, I`m just stating here move names on this list which I do not recognize as official, for various reasons (original inventor dislikes name, people who named it cant hit it, misnomers/confusion, etc).

So Ken you are saying that you dont believe that selection of moves, to be the official names of those moves?
because as far as im aware, Lynton Stephens invented Fairy Gyro DLO, Atomic Ducking DLO and Atomic Ducking Torque, and named them accordingly... why cant that be allowed?

Please correct me if this is incorrect but i think its right...

I think that if somebody is the first person to hit a trick, they can name it. Actually, I didnt mean to have icarus or icon on the last list. But some of lyntons other tricks raise a good point. What happens when somebody is the first to name a trick, but gives it a shitty name? I mean, wahnsinn? Wentletrappe? I know several top freestylers who acknowledge lynton as the first to hit some tricks, but refuse to refer to said tricks with his names, just because the names are so bad. Or take for example pdx fusion. Risden was the first to hit it, but named it Geesha, which was such a bad name it never caught on. I suggested cold fusion, even though ive never hit it, and that name seems to have stuck. Is that wrong?

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 07 Sep 2004 04:55

Actually Lynton didn't name Wahnsinn - that's an error on Lon Smiths site - I can't remember who did name it.

I'd like to know what your problems with each of those moves are.

Some of them are definitly unofficial - for example I named POD and Juno Reator - both on your list - POD is definitly unofficial - it's just that at the time I was hitting lots of pixie double of down combos and I got sick of saying/writing it - especially in the notes that I take during sessions - so I abbreiviated it and started posting it on websites etc. - Juno Reactor is again - just what I call pixie reactor - if you don't like it you can call it sailing whirl - it means the same thing.

Basically I don't think the names of footbag moves matters much. If I decide from now on to call "ripwalk" nemesis swirl - it doesn't change what I'm actually hitting. I guess the name is a symbol for what the move actually is.

Also liking or not liking a move name is a subjective thing - you don't like some of those move names - obviously at least one person does.

I think sticking with the convention of the person who first hits a move gets to name it solves the problem of debates to some degree over if the name is good or not. The other important thing is if it catches on or not. For example the majority of people call pixie butterfly "dimwalk" even though this was originally incorrect.

A lot of the moves you've mentioned are hardly hit by anyone - for example Lynton is the only person I know of who hits argus in runs. I'm sure there are other people who could but they don't - so why does it matter what the move is called?

blah blah blah rant rant rant I'm off to get a beer

Edit - I'm glad you don't have a problem with toebius/tobyus (or however you spell it) - which is in my opinion the best named footbag move ever - sometimes I think there is just a perfect name for some moves and it's better to go with that then the original name (not that that's the case with tobyus since it was named as far as I know by then inventer - who was named toby! - tobyus is toe set mobius - it's the most perfect name imaginable!!)

max · Post by **max** » 07 Sep 2004 05:25

I'd just like to pipe in and add that I have FINALLY named a move that I belive I'm the first to hit.

I posted it last winter it's:

pixie (op) symposium whirling swirl

which I've named "croissant" like the french pastry. I've asked around (esp. the czecks) if it had been hit before me and it apparently hadn't.

Back on topic: I personnaly don't like many move names and just call them by their technical names in that case. Tunguksta (sp?) is one that comes to mind.

re Ken's list I remember seeing "Daisin" (sailing butterfly) written for a run on footbag.org. It's a VERY old video I think it was a '98 worlds vid. By a guy with sandals (sorry forgot the name)...

shaggster · Post by **shaggster** » 07 Sep 2004 12:38

dave holten ? he usually wears sandals and has invented a few moves, i think he is from colorado

max · Post by **max** » 07 Sep 2004 13:40

yes I think that was him. It was at the worlds (that flex talks about in his blog) with the trippy carpet.

HackyRichard · Post by **HackyRichard** » 07 Sep 2004 17:13

That's Frank Gutowski, 99 worlds in Chicago

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 07 Sep 2004 18:50

In that case I don't think tofu (toe foodprocessor) should be on that list because I came up for that name but didn't invent it.

ebo · Post by **ebo** » 13 Sep 2004 06:29

Max, I saw Vasek trying that Pixie symp Whirling Swirl this weekend
in Vienna at the Austrian Champs. This move looks so cool.

Mofly has no quantum it is done all down time

Me too

.

It's Quantum Weaving Butterfly and I called it Quantanamera.

I asked on the board, if anyone hit that and even Stefan Siegert didn't hit this move.

If you don't like the name, I can change it, but I think it's cool

Omen · Post by **Omen** » 06 Nov 2004 23:08

Hands Off Falusia!!! .... or however its spelled.

Somebody has probably said this already but there is 4 pages here and I sadly don't have time to read 'em all. Anyway, there should be a move nicknamed George W. Bush, a simple, slow move, maybe rename insides, eh?

ebo · Post by **ebo** » 07 Nov 2004 06:30

No there shouldn't.
