BSP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are BSP if you have equal strong and flip sides on every trick. Some people may say this is impossible but I disagree. For myself I have started doing eveything both sided. The hardest is writing, but some of the more interesting ones are sleeping, eating, and toilet. Anyway, it is very simple to become BSP. We follow one simple rule:

***Whenever you try any trick, do it first on your flipside.***

This causes both sides to achieve equalibirum naturally over time. If done correctly, eventually, when you try tricks, you won't know which side to start on so you will just alternate.

This isn't done all the time... in shred it would limit your links. However, it does leak into my shred. I love it though cause both sided just feels like the way I should play. I play like this all the time though. I am BSP.

lots of moves i can never decide which side to start on. but mostly my sets are still weak. i have been trying to start runs with flip atomic or pixie all the time though to work that out. yesterday i was at work and made a cappucino flipside or something. i try to do that a lot too.

made a cappachino flipside.... :lol: :lol:

I would assume you would merely mirror your old actions; unzip, button, or lower front of hack shorts with left hand and that type of thing.

Huge props dude, I eventually want to be there, but I have so much work to do with my flip side sets that I cannot follow your meathod yet. I would like to start writing flipsided though. I've done that twice with this in mind but it hasn't really helped. Another big one to add to that is to apply it to juggling as well.

I may give you a prop after this post, but I can't stand losing them, and I've given 3 in the last 2 weeks.

eh, someone gave me one, so I passed it on.

i voted no. cause im not bothsided.
have you ever tried drinking from a cup that you hold with your flipside hand? thats what its like making a flip capuccino. seriously. its hard. but its fun when im at work. i compared the feeling of like...wrapping brownies in plastic wrap to a swirl motion. maybe it wasnt the brownies. but something like that. footbags all i think about at work all day : D

i always stay at least three tricks ahead on my normalside. By the way what is the real name for your non flipside side?
There is always a bigger trick.

i used to call it original side. in addition to goodside and strongside. like. cause if i hit a move on that side first. then its my original dlo side. you know? and then its not good or bad side either. its just the side i hit something on first.
ive hit most moves both sides. but im still way more consistant on certain moves on my goodside.

I've been working on this for a while, I am BSP in my non footbag life (except for writing) I eat flipside (including chopsticks), dial numbers flipside, brush my teeth flipside (although I'm still uneven on that). Unfortunately I have been less diligent with my footbag game, though I am in the process of changing that. I'm going to vote no.
