wicked resource. thanks!

Great resource HooD!

I have a question though, doesn't the term set imply uptime already?

Also, where was Moshing?

Also, can more than a handful of people hit jiggling set?

Derrick and I were totally blown away by the jiggling!

I personally liked the hyper! NICE set off that! Have you hit hyper duck anything? Rooted phoenix or rooted assassin would be huge! Or even hyper diving flail... That would be a cool one.

Props on the resource, though. You all perform certain sets very, very differently. It's nice to see a cross-section of different methods.

well first and foremost thank you for you controbution, very nicely done hood!

But I have to thank you again cause now I can atomic set. Each video clearly shows how each set can and should be executed.

You did a great job on this page John/Brad/Whoever else. It's got a pretty professional feel about it, but the one thing I'd suggest is to run the text through a spellcheck. I only say this, because I've got weird eyesight that sees spelling errors first, and the sentence they're in second.

Just a thought. Jiggling is sooooo hard to get clean, I've tried. It often ends up looking like a styley hip-pixie dex.

Good work HooD... Nice resource.

If you can correct this... Pixie Fairy set isn't Wiggling... It's just Wiggle... And the same with Jiggling - Jiggle.

step=stepping
surf=surfing

eh makes sense to me to say a wiggling mirage or jiggling butterfly

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 17 Feb 2005 16:02

I thought about it, but I changed it to Wiggle and Jiggle, no big difference either way. I think everything is nice and spell checked, I kinda hurried to put it online before I ran to my next class, now Kevin, your eyes can rest easy.

Wow jiggle is crazy, I could barely see what was going on there legs just turned to blurs with out slow mo. Very cool this will deffenatly help me get my sets down.

Nice work John!

Just a few things about sailing. I would say you should always try and set straight up - never to an angle. You can hit sailing same mirage or osis like that - but if you're trying to hit something like sailing op mirage or whirl or whatever - it's much harder if the bag isn't infront of you after the set. Also I think a really important tip is to start the second dex just as your pixie leg starts reaching it's high point (maybe just before) - so it starts symposium - you could even think of sailing as pixie symple atomic - Most of the time when people screw up the set it's because they start the atomic dex too early or too late - so it's important to figure out what the best time is for you.

If you can hit a good sailing set, beta symp sailing isn't a great deal harder (pretty much the same technique - but requires a lot more strength)

NOOOOO vile greek nomenclature begone from my sight 'afore I go mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slaying
Backside sailing

Take your pick.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 20 Feb 2005 22:05

I'm sorry James, I didn't realise that slaying was an official name for beta symp sailing sets.

But I guess I wouldn't really know since I'm the person who came up with that name - thanks for letting me know...

Also backside sailing mirage, and backside dominatrix are different moves - but beta dominatrix and beta sailing mirage are always the same!

The site looks even better now John.

Oh, and @ James: Snap.

BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 23 Mar 2005 05:19

Wow, John your site just has so much usefull stuff on it!!!

Someone should sticky this thread to the top of this forum, it is very valuable and should be kept where new players can see it.

Hey I just checked this out, and I have to say nice! Good quality vids and good slow motion. I also like how you gave detailed tips. They are good tips too!

Chim-Chim · Post by **Chim-Chim** » 14 Jul 2005 10:20

great resource!

I never even imagined the wiggle and jiggle

, w/ the help of that vid I can hit jiggle... nothing out of it though.

I used to try that pixie-atomic set but gave up - u have renewed my faith in 2 add sets! better hop to it...

When do you think you will have toe wiggle set not "thed"?

I think they all have pretty similar technique in most of them, and on some its just brad or john doing them

*bump*

Thread is old, but useful. Give it a look if you're trying to learn and master uptime sets, both clipper & toe set moves.
