Depending on which direction you hit it, i.e. out to in = legover and in to out = pickup.

School those like crazy along with mirages and illusions! Good job hitting it without knowing what it was

rye · Post by **rye** » 18 Nov 2004 11:12

it would be a legover then, lol, i knew that I just forgot....kinda simple one to remember i guess

yeah im practicing those both sides at the moment

rye · Post by **rye** » 18 Nov 2004 11:14

I just shredded for about 20 mins outside, it's a beautiful night!!! 9 degress celsius, hardly any wind, a nice 1/4 moon, beautiful!!

I just worked on my clipper's, stalled it back and forth for a bit (dropping it onto my foot each time, i suck)

anyway, I can hit illusion now pretty decently, having a someone difficult time catching it on my flipside foot tho...i know i shouldn't have a flipside, but I do, working on changing that

You're freakin awesome.... I've been shredding for three + months and I can't even hit an ATW yet! Of course, I'm juggling both a circle kicker and Freestyler so I've been in total going for almost a year.... good luck on getting your moves solid and learning new ones... It's hard as crap for me and I hope I'll be able to shred like you one of these days.... MAYBE i'll go up to canada...... mmmmmmm

hha sweet thanks for the support guys!!

It turns out I was doing a Mirage, not an Illusion, Illusion is just dexing in to out, I was going out to in, anyway, still exciting

Shredded with the bfa boys again today for a couple hours, that was fun, worked on some fundamentals and I'm working on my pixie's now, gonna drill them all week and hopefully I'll be able to do them solidly by next shred

Gotta work night shift tonight, bedtime for me!

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 19 Nov 2004 18:27

Out to in IS an Illusion!!

Moxie · Post by **Moxie** » 19 Nov 2004 18:48

ok wait, we need to settle this: When you're setting with your left foot and dexing with your right leg, is your leg going clockwise or counter clockwise around the bag? Rye, does that make sense?

He was going counter clockwise I believe... which is an illusion.

I couldn't watch the video he posted, maybe someone who can see it could verify for us?

rye · Post by **rye** » 19 Nov 2004 19:25

well dex and johnny both said it was a mirage when I did it right in front of them....

If I set with my right toe, dex with my left, my leg goes counter-clockwise.

Set with my left tow, dex with my right, I go clockwise.

sampotter · Post by **sampotter** » 19 Nov 2004 19:30

You're getting it mixed up. It doesn't matter in what direction your moves relative to the other footbag extremity, it matters what direction it moves. For example, when doing an around the world, if you set with your right foot, dex clockwise, and stall with the same foot, it was an in to out dex. If you dex counter-clockwise, it was out to in... However, it's reversed for the other foot, as counter-clockwise has you dexing in-out... Eh, it's not something I would get hung up on right now. The easiest way to learn and conceptualize all this is to watch lots and lots of videos of everything - easy tricks, hard tricks, shred, competition, whatever. Learn what every move is conceptually, you'll be thankful.

edit: Just thought of a good way of wording it - think of dexing as moving in relation to an invisible axis down the center of your body. When it moves towards that, it's going in, when it moves away, it's going out. This doesn't really apply to whirls and swirls. (swirls sort of, but it's best just to say front/back, forward/reverse, etc.)

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 19 Nov 2004 19:32

yeah, why not just do all the in-out, out-in variations and then just say that you did em all?

Names schmames!

rye · Post by **rye** » 23 Nov 2004 18:21

ok so I've been slacking off majorly, just working on ATW for both sides, and my mirage's and pixie's, still can't really hit any in a row though, meh

I've been too occupied with Halo 2 and fucking xbox live....damnit

oh well, I'll shred at school tommorow for a bit

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 23 Nov 2004 18:47

Yeah... when I played H2, I got hooked. luckily, i got sidetracked by ordering some new bags... always helps..... keep kicking

rye · Post by **rye** » 20 Dec 2004 18:23

cold weather and a lack of a place to shred p0wn me
