I fully expected to have to remove 9/10 of them from my list. Well, I guess I was already very picky choosy about which ones I took, because ALMOST ALL OF THE MOVES WERE VERIFIED!!! A couple weren't, seven to be exact, and three were proven to be incorrect. Pixie same frontside symposium blur/blizzard is impossible because pixie same symposium quantum as a set is not possible. Fairy Lotus was confused for Fairy Vortex on THE NEXT LEVEL by Dan Klokow(sp?) and it hasn't been hit. Pixie inspinning Op Legover, Juggernaut(Fairy symposium Eggbeater), Quake(Atomic Backside Symposium toe Blur), Snapping Torque, Spinning Paradox Barrage, Flailing Ducking Butterfly, and Coma(Quantum Flailing Same Dyno) have all not been verified. If anyone has hit any of these moves, please tell me so I can add them back to the list, but I am removing these seven moves from the list, as well as the pixie same symposium quantum moves and fairy lotus. All of the other moves on my long list of "Far-fetched" stuff have been hit and verified. Therefore, all moves on my list from now on HAVE been hit, so there is no more argument over what's for real and what isn't. If anyone has a question about who's hit what, I'll try to answer that for you, but it's surprising how MANY people have hit these sick huge moves. I hope I've cleared up the calamities on my list for now. If anyone notices another problem, let me know so I can fix it.

WAY too many people just have a skateboard, or skateboarding shoes, to be cool - and they all suck. People who are not good at footbag are perfectly alright, but only if they are willing to get better.

It's >funny how similarly we are following in >skateboarding's footsteps. I agree with you to some degree, but your taking your point to unnecessary extremes. I dont think were following that closely in skateboarding's footsteps, look how popular skateboarding has become already. Skateboarding was popular around when it was introduced to the masses, and in the 70's it was pretty popular, but due to the poor quality of boards and injuries, society in general seemed to shun skating through most of the 80's. During this time, the up and comers were still skating (like Tony Hawk for example) and then during the 90's skating regained popularity and the 'up and comer' Tony Hawk became one of skatings most well-known figures. The point of that last paragraph is that footbag is not like skateboarding, because there were no really huge bursts of popularity since the conception of footbag (sometime around 1972). When most people at the YMCA I go to religiously watch me shred, it's just hacky sack, not like they know it's freestyle footbag and that it's only one among several footbag sporting events. Footbag just isn't as openly easy to get into, the only reason I freestyle today is because last year I learned all of the basic stalls on both feet and wanted to know more, so I go to a search engine and type in hacky sack, and footbag.org came up, the rest is history. Another reason why we are not following in skateboardings footsteps is because both sports have been around for about the same amount of time yet skating is extremely popular now, and after 30 years footbag has finally gotten a little bit of recognition with the IFPA becoming an amatuer charitible sports organization, but what does that mean for promotion? It wouldn't be good if after another 30 years footbag is still in its underground status. I'll relate to you an example that pertains to music. My favorite band (right now anyway) is AFI. AFI is an alternative gothic-punk rock sounding band, and im pretty sure there goal is selling out because they want to expose more people to their sound and probably cant under their current record label. Now the question is, do we NEED to "sell out," for footbag to be exposed so that our sport can take off? The answer is not so easy. It depends what this new status can do for us. It's not so much about being approached by big companies, sponsorship is a HUGE part of just about every professional sport and seems in my mind, to be an essential part of growth of the footbag community.

Always carry around a backpack full of Mr. Sandbags to give out ;) I also will join any circle that I see.

I really >disagree with that statement. Did Skateboarding >sell out? No. Did Surfing sell out? I took my part of the conversation privately to Ellis, but will highlight my points for anyone who cares. My main point was that there are degrees of selling out. Once a person in a sport stops playing for the mere enjoyment of playing and puts on a Mountain Dew shirt for their sponsor, they have sold out to some degree. They also must be at a certain level of skill to gain that sponsorship and so may push the limits for that reason (not the soul reason, but a reason none the less). To an extent I contend that the game does not remain wholly theirs because much of the continued competative success of the player relies on the sponsors for whom they must lend their name and face and appease whatever value the sponsor would have for them. So my answer to the above questions were that yes, to a degree all those sports sold out when they gained sponsors whose contracts must be satisfied and the players did so similarly. I MUST also state that none of that bothers me. I think it's perfectly okay to "sell out" to a certain degree. Not to the point where all is dictated for us, but certainly enough to get global notariety for the sport. There is always an expense and I think wearing a companies clothing is a small price to pay. On the adds part I think that adds may be counted too heavily in Routines, but shouldn't be removed entirely. As for the "Most Rippin' Run" I think they are important because of the multiplier that pushes players to go for bigger tricks, even though a player could conceivably do an honorable run with only 3 add moves.

I think you yourself have to sell out before you can sell the sport out. This is not a personal bash on anyone or anyone beleifs. All I know is that I don't support Nike and if you are doing demo's for Nike then don't say that we should say fuck you to corporations.

There are plenty of 2 and three add moves that are more difficult than some 5 and 6 add moves. Here's an example. A drifter is a pretty intermediate move, and is decent for three adds. The part of a drifter that makes it the most difficult is the fact that the bag remains in front of you while your dexing leg goes around the other one. Now to eliminate that problem, thereby making the move easier, one can give a little hop with the support leg and go over the bag with it. In addition to making the move easier, that would give two more adds, a symposium dexterity. Making it an easier 5 add move. Things like that are just plain wrong. I think that all of footbag should be judged on the wow factor. For those of you who want the sport to become global, what would be better for audiences, technical description and points for easier high add moves, or sick sick runs? I know what I'd watch. If there can be some system that encompasses everything and where all rules apply to all situations, then I'd go for that, but until then, I'm gonna do what's cool to me.

It doesn't mean skateboarding is "bad". What you see on TV is not skateboarding, period. The essence of skateboarding lies in landing your first kickflip down 4 stairs when no one is there to see it. It's an amazing experience. > People who are not good at footbag are > perfectly alright, but only if > they are willing to get better. Well, that's one opinion. I'd rephrase with "if they are willing to have fun", leaving out the "only", because who the hell am I to say anyway? :) Learning new tricks is dope.

Who do you think attends skateboarding contests ? Who do you think makes skateboarding a profitable industry ? Who buys all the decks, wheels, bearings, videos, protective equipment, tee shirts, shoes etc etc etc ? A sport can not support it self by only selling to the professionals, yet footbag seems determined to take this path. People who are not good at footbag are fine the way they are. People who pressure people to play guiltless, or do everything both sides, or drill this and drill that are driving away the people who would like to come and watch this sport as fans. A lot of us are happy doing legovers and around the worlds, using footbag as a purely recreational activity. Recreational players are one of the biggest factors in a sports success, and footbag seems to squash the ambition out of everyone who wants to play for fun. These are the same people who would sport tee shirts of their favorite playeys, buy bags named after big pros, and play our video games. They are also the same people who would come to events and pay entrance fees to watch. Not everyone who comes to an event has dreams of being pro, some just want to see what the pro's can do, and leave happy with a jaw dropping experience. cameron -- They'll keep on spreading whatever stories they think they have to -- to foreigners especially.

A couple of things occurred when a few of the hacky regulars branched off to play footbag, the hacky circles all dried up and dissapeared from our streets, and we lost contact with a whole lot of our hacky friends. Wellington had quite possibly the healthiest hacky scene in New Zealand, there were two locations where there were hacky circles kicking with out fail . I realized that there were usually a few key figures who would meet every day to kick and all of the other regulars would walk by to see if there was a circle there, and would come and join in. these days those key figures play footbag so when people try to join in they get to kick a footbag once or twice and then wait 5 minutes while every one else in the circle pulls off things that only intimidate newbies. The majority of hackers in my nabourhood are into flow, aerial moves, and the team aspect of rescueing a stray kick. I think that hacky players who do not wish play the footbag style should be treated with the same respect that any other footbag player should be treated with be they BAP or Newbie (Obviously pioneers of either sport deserve much respect). I guess thats the point I was trying to make, sorry it took this long to make it.

Wow. I skool a minimum of 2 hours a day (5 days a week) when the weather is good. Most days I like to push it to 3-4 hours though. If Nike ever gets serisously involved in footbag, I'll skool 8 hours a day. I've put an extremly large amount of time into my game and I take it very seriously.

This version is 91 megs. Ouch. But hey, if you're with us here in the 21st century and have a broadband connection of some sort, then this won't really be a big deal. If you run with the Mac crowd, you could totally dis your OS and install M$ Media Player for Mac.... but maybe just go to a friends house..... or take your chances and install Real.... or pay me $1000us and I'll send you a VHS copy(shit, I'll output to DVD for that) http://www.freefootbag.org/css3/ So there it is.

Quoting this merely because it needs repeating. The 'meat' of footbag is the thousands of come-and-go hackers that may or may not care about an around-the-world. Those people make the footbag business go 'round, and they are the ones that us pros eventually recruit for the 'elite' inner circle. Without them, footbag is nothing. Anyway, how dare anyone think that they have the 'right' to try to take footbag - a very challenging but non-competitive athletic activity - away from the hippies? For the love of footbag, pay homage to the hippie hackers. They are why you are kicking today. -Derrick From owner-freestyle@footbag.org Mon Apr 8 14:09:17 2002 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id OAA28943 for freestyle-outgoing@list.footbag.org; Mon, 8 Apr 2002 14:09:17 -0700 Received: from rains.umail.ucsb.edu (rains.umail.ucsb.edu [128.111.151.216]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id TAA01615 for ; Thu, 4 Apr 2002 19:41:34 -0800 Received: from http by rains.umail.ucsb.edu with local (Exim 3.35 #2) id 16tKbU-000Jnu-00 for freestyle@footbag.org; Thu, 04 Apr 2002 19:41:32 -0800 Received: from 128.111.182.30 ( [128.111.182.30]) as user hackman@incoming.umail.ucsb.edu by webaccess.umail.ucsb.edu with HTTP; Thu, 4 Apr 2002 19:41:32 -0800 Message-ID: <1017978092.3cad1cec0ef33@webaccess.umail.ucsb.edu> Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2002 19:41:32 -0800 From: Jeremy Mirken To: freestyle@footbag.org Subject: [freestyle] Advice for spinning moves?

I think that doing tricks that fans can understand is a good way to get new comers to the sport, but when im shredding I will always do what I want, when I want. In fact, I think people are rather impressed by legs that circle the bag three times rather than once or twice with a pretty spin. Why do I play footbag? For me, and not for anyone else. That may be a selfish attitude, but circle shredding is a very independent progression of the sport. I am not opposed to doing legovers and pixies in a "hacky sack" circle, but when I wanna freestyle, let nobody hold me back! Im gunna bust the biggest and best of my ability. Besides, if fans were interested in learning the sport, they'd approach us, rather than we having to approach them. Many people just aren't ready for freestyle. Live with it. If you wanted to make money, you should have played basketball of baseball, certainly not a sport like footbag, which is still in its infancy. Anyway, these are just my biased opinions.

I can do just about any 1 add or 2 add moves, but my 3 add is limited to just Paradox Mirage and osis, but since this talent show is going to be viewed at by a crowd-pleaser stand point, I'm thinking of doing plenty of cross body sole delays, spins, and flyers. One such move is going to be a display of pure leg strength and control, hop-over straight into crossbody sole delay, which looks much harder than it is if you have schooled both of these. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for music or tips for my routine. I was thinking of using Magic Carpet Ride (techno remix) by Crystal Method or Girls by the Beastie Boys (note that I kind of want a tune that people my age can recognize, and if not, techno is always good) I might be finishing off my routine with a unique move that people keep askin me to do again and again, with a big wow factor, but no real technical merit (as in adds) but I haven't schooled it yet so i dunno...sorry I'm not tellin what it is ;) From owner-freestyle@footbag.org Mon Apr 8 14:12:55 2002 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id OAA29145 for freestyle-outgoing@list.footbag.org; Mon, 8 Apr 2002 14:12:55 -0700 Received: from hotmail.com (f128.law3.hotmail.com [209.185.241.128]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id BAA11346 for ; Fri, 5 Apr 2002 01:00:51 -0800 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Fri, 5 Apr 2002 01:00:50 -0800 Received: from 64.109.203.150 by lw3fd.law3.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Fri, 05 Apr 2002 09:00:50 GMT X-Originating-IP: [64.109.203.150] From: "Ian Dubman" To: allan@footbag.org, freestyle@list.footbag.org Subject: Re: [freestyle] Free CSS 3 shred flick Date: Fri, 05 Apr 2002 03:00:50 -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 05 Apr 2002 09:00:50.0647 (UTC) FILETIME=[6250C670:01C1DC80] Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org Excellent.

Dear John, Stop them from scuffing, period. Warn them ahead of time, or keep your sipa on you for circle kicking and make do with that when others want to play. It's great to show some freestyle to the hacky kids because it seems most people agree that they're the breeding grounds for future freestylers. However, just because they don't know what they're doing, or how to treat a good bag, does not mean it's okay for them to ruin your freestyle bag. Just tell them, most people are very respectful, or at least have been in my experience. As for a good bag, go with your namesake; get a Wilson bag (contact Mike Wilson at mwil3@yahoo.com). They're cheaper than all the other bags of their variety (that being hand-stitched quality 32 panel facile bags) of which I know. They're all I use, and the rest of my group uses them as well. We're all really satisfied. Mike doesn't pay me to say this. His bags are just great.

I guess my comment is only kinda related to this thread (a more appropriate subject for my comment would be "Why I love Hacky Sack"), but the comment above made me think of when I first started playing. I, of course, was a hacky sacker before anything else (weren't we all?). Those were fun times. I can remember being able to hit a jester to a back catch.. This would be followed by about ten consecutives.. Then a kick off of the nearest wall.. at which point my buddy would do an amazing toe dig to keep the play alive.. full hacks.. oh yeah! full hacks rocked!!! now and again someone would "shoot the moon" which referred to mauling the sipa sipa as high in the air as possible.. someone had to get that sucker before it landed down.. I can remember being beaned (and beaning others) for bad form (like self serves)... Ahhh.. Nostalgia. I could have sworn at that point in time that I was the best damned hacky sack player that ever lived. Ever!! I ruled as far as I was concerned, and I loved it!! In fact I was utterly convinced of this for quite some time. I secretly think that the players I kicked with thought the same thing about their level of play.. They were wrong of course.. How could they not be?? I could hit toe stall to toe stall at will!?!?!?! Ignorance was bliss. I really love footbag freestyle, but there's definitely something to be said for that time in the hacky sack learning arch. Later. Bob Riefer Philly Footworks PS- I play footbag because it's really fun to play.

UCSF jam was the bomb. Big props to Sunil for throwing this jam and to everyone for coming. Just thought I'd post a few highlights. The Jam consisted of the first family, Southern California, Dan Klokow of Chicago, and even a NYFA contingent. Both days people shredded for over 4 hours, and there were usually 4-6 circles of shredders. I even got to jump into an all female circle with Carol, Ann Kaplan, and Mel Schneider for a bit. Overall there was a decent balance of pro and intermediate shredders, but the "intermediates" of today don't really play so "intermediate." I saw lots of good stuff from everybody all weekend. Josh Penney represented East Coast by playing better than I've ever seen him play: long strings, creative links, big mouth. Blurry whirl-blurriest= stupid like tiiiight! This reference=stupid like dumb. Dan Klokow impressed the hell out of me, and had a cool camera he let me play with to boot. Dan was going long all weekend, and along with Josh, wins the diehard award for playing in the last circle of the event (2 man) a good hour after everybody else was tired, changed, and watching. Props for nailing that combo at the end man. Ahren takes the award for best mirrored move: he sealed nuclear drifter, which is possibly the coolest move that is a rewind of itself. Ahren also hit fairy vortex and phobia, and schooled me on your mom (uh....). This was actually the best moment of the tournament. Sunil was filming Ahren hitting Your Mom, and while he was doing that, Chad placed his camera between Sunil's legs to also film Ahren. Said Sunil: "After seeing Ahren hit Your Mom, I looked down between my legs and saw Big Wood." This was just classic. I played with Sunil at a session on Thursday and saw him hit Clown Face, and I literally fell down, cause that move is just silly. At the Jam Sunil was taking it easy cause of his knee, but I still saw him hit 4 blurry whirls in a row linked to a bedwetter. Sunil wasn't the only person busting who shouldn't have been able to. Tu Vu shredded it up both days, hitting reverse drifters, and sick combos like blurriest to flurry, which is incredible considering we went dancing 3 nights in a row. Too huge. San Diego also represented at the tournament. I gave crap to Abshire for hitting haze while in SF, so he obliged and hit some nice fogs. When in Rome and all that. I had heard about Cameron's grabbing moves, but this is really something you need to see to understand how cool it is. He's not just grabbing easy moves either, I saw him hit grabbing fog, and blurrier too I think. It's all very confusing, but very cool. Lon Smith is really weird. He gets the combo of the event award for big apple-blurriest. I also saw him hit blurriest-pdx torque-blurriest-mobius-blurriest, which I think was all clean. Pure sickness, long strings with double spins and shuffle thrown in there for good measure. LA was on as well. Sam C is smooth and has lots of nice variety. I think he's getting so good cause he's having fun with the sport. Pinkus was hitting his usual ridiculous toe symposium moves. Definitely will be the first player to hit symposium bladerunner and dunk at the same time. I just wanted to add one more thing. If you can make worlds this year, do it. The footbag community just continually amazes me with how many cool people are in it, and how fun they are to party with. Also, San Francisco is just an incredibly fun town, so when you combine those two things, you know worlds is going to be amazing. I only wish I could go, but I will return in a couple years with a Japanese contingent that will take worlds by storm! OK, hope some of y'all found this entertaining.

Nike is one of the worst corporations out there. Ok, first off. That was ME, not "the people". So you're obviously calling me a hypocrite and a sell out. Sure you have a point, but you are assuming that I and the rest of the team didn't have good reason for our decisions, some of which didn't apply to my statement. Plus, you are judging me and the scenario based on YOUR beliefs (I'm not sticking up for Nike, just sayin'). When I said "when the time comes for big companies to approach us", that was given the imaginary premise that footbag will already be making lots of money with its own companies from within (hence the "We don't even have that option at this point"). ...and again: > All I know is that I don't support Nike and if you are doing demo's for Nike then don't say that we should say fuck you to corporations. First, a major business power like Nike admitting to the inherent potential in footbag as a marketable, professional sport was a major step in footbag's promotion. Regardless of anyone's opinion about Nike, doing those demos exposed footbag to more people than any other demo EVER! Plus, at most events white people were the minority, which is really a positive step for the sport. Who knows, maybe there will be some ethnic diversity in the sport as result of all our work for Nike. Second, I didn't say "corporations". I said "big companies", referring to those who have nothing to do with athletics and just want to make money without any concern for the sport of its involvement. That's all I have to say.

I was asked to teach/help with a few Basic footbag classes at a local school and was wondering if anyone had any advice. They are going to be mostly 7th graders. I plan on teaching them the names of the kicks, basic stalls, and how to do them. The classes are going to be around an hour long and keeping there attention may be hard. I was thinking about teaching them that 4 square game. They will probably like that. That might take up 10 mins or so and the lecture/activity thing on the moves and how to do them will take 5-10 mins, along with what ever questions that might get asked. There will be some time spent on just circle kicking (practising their kicks). Anyone got some good ideas to get the kids in ta playing footbag? E-mail me! =) Oh bad thing is they are going to be sippa like bags that they will use. =S Thanks a million~ Calvin Brash ~Who ate my footbag? ;) From owner-freestyle@footbag.org Mon Apr 8 14:27:44 2002 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id OAA30552 for freestyle-outgoing@list.footbag.org; Mon, 8 Apr 2002 14:27:44 -0700 Received: from hotmail.com (f265.law7.hotmail.com [216.33.236.143]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id JAA15078 for ; Mon, 8 Apr 2002 09:27:02 -0700 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 8 Apr 2002 09:27:02 -0700 Received: from 161.184.29.215 by lw7fd.law7.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 08 Apr 2002 16:27:02 GMT X-Originating-IP: [161.184.29.215] From: "Dylan Livingston" To: freestyle@list.footbag.org Subject: [freestyle] Slap me silly!

Obviously i won't be able to put in my usual shred time but could i still shred to my abilities? Say if i jog about 2 miles a day after my sessions, will my moves and techniques begin to wither to unclean sets and things. As always footbag comes first, but i only want to quit soccer if it really will affect my game.

Any other 4-panel risks an easy death from scuffing. Dirtbags and Sandmasters and the like. I know from experience as I've gone through three or four bags this way by not letting people know the "rules of the bag". This proves again that Revos are the best for sand-filled 4-panel bags, but you should still refrain from toe-starting on surfaces like concrete and asphalt, cuz no bag is totally safe from rips on surfaces like these.

For the Freestyler who knows better than to scuff hard it may be possible to avoid holes, but in a circle of "hacky sackers" the bag gets beat to $h!t when scuffing. I think the Doe Suede material holds up better than the Crushed Penne, but it's still sensative material. The good part is that the bags are MUCH cheaper to replace than facile bags an even with scuffing you can go through 5 or 6 bags and still have paid less than a good facile bag.

The set isn't a dex, it's a spin. For both inspinning and double spinning you must complete the first spin and spot the bag before it reachs it's apex. Then the rest of the spin just follows depending on what you want to do. Steve G. had some good advice to someone about spins a few years back... someone had given the advice to spin sooner after the bag leaves your foot, and he responded that you really just need to spin faster. In order to spin faster look at the mechanics of a figure skater doing spins. The closer and tighter you keep your arms to your body the tighter and faster your spin is. So a good rule of thumb would be to try to pull your arms into your body as you set, so that you can pull around fast enough to catch the bag still on its way up. So, if you dissect what move you want to do then you determine what the set will have to be. For example, a double spinning osis is really a spinning[set] - inspinning osis. So you have to go for a spinning osis set, spot the bag, plant the feet, and throw your arms into the inspinning osis at the end. I can't stress enough the importance of using your arms to dictate spin speed as well as balance. Putting a little blind faith into knowing your going to catch the bag doesn't hurt either. As for foot placement, I attempted to describe this, but it came out jibberish. Slow-mo Lon Smith and watch what he does.

I have found that since the Revolution's are machine sewn, they tend to lose less sand and the seams hold up better to abuse such as toe-ups on concrete They are great in the wind too. That's if Made in USA by shredders and affordable isn't enough reason. The most compelling reason though is that they are ready to shred with, right out of the package. You lose one, no problem, no waiting months to break in a footbag. Just whip out a new revolution and you are ready to go. But be ready to kick with anything, you don't want adverse effects when you jump into a circle and are so conditioned to use one kind of footbag that you can't perform with another kind. Go Shred!

There you go! A dada starts with a mirage - whether you set it from clipper or toe... But yeah, the move is *like* a dada. The symposium add doesn't count in there, so it is a four - just like dimwalk. Maybe it is just a different style of dimwalk? Who knows? I'd probably count it unique from a dimwalk... if I were judging.

I agree 100% with both of you guys!!! It's totally irritating when you have a brand new delicate 32 panel facile bag (or an older one, which is at its best) and people start making toe pick-ups. It's just like you have a new car and your friend wants to try driving it for a couple of miles. Then after the three-minute joyride, the friend comes back and the car has got a few dints and scrapes on the side. Very polite. People: Stop making toe pick-ups!!! A little aside from the topic (now that I'm in the correct bad-ass mood;), I'd like to mention self-serving in circle play. It's a bad habit and something that should be got rid of. It's important not to self-serve, especially when you're playing with new people you've just met! It's all about respecting the people you're playing with. Self-serving is quite the same, if you'd meet new people and not greet and shake hands with them. No one of us is of course perfect, everyone of us sometimes self-serve oneself, but when someone does it constantly, it's a circle play etiquette mistake, on my opinion.

It's a bad habit and >something that should be got rid of. It's important not to self-serve, >especially when you're playing with new people you've just met! CIRCLE ETIQUETTE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Every Styler must learn it and teach others. I personally follow a pretty easy rule. REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE AND WHO YOU ARE WITH. It means that when you are kicking with your normal crew and if they don't care, because it's totally informal or a skool session then it's okay to self-serve. Even then you should not do it OVERANDOVERANDOVER. 1 or 2 at the max. However, when new people come into the circle for whatever reason then the self-serving STOPS. Also, if you are an out-of-towner or at a tournament then you absolutely should not self serve until you get a feel for how the circle works. Often times the next person will tell you to keep it or even toss it back to you. DON'T GET LAZY AND FORGET. It's just not nice. As for Toe Scuffing, most Hacky Sackers think it's a cool trick, but you need to stop them. Just the other day I was "Hacky Sacking" and we were using my sweet new Abshire bag. Luckily the kid who tried to scuff it missed the first time so I was able to catch him before he tried again. Just let them down nicely and explain how tender the bag is. If they ignore you then leave the circle with your bag or put it in your pocket and ask if they have one. Simple enough.

It may take a lot of yelling and you'll end up looking like some Footbag Nazi, but anyone with a clue will respect your view. As for self serving? I reckon if you need to self serve to set up for a trick, you should be focusing on other aspects of your play.

Considering the last minute setup and advertising for this event, I was extremely pleased with the turnout.. Roughly 25 players showed up -- this number was made up of numerous BAPers, newbies, veterans... It was a great mix. Highlights: 1) Yeah, so Sunil is good. Really good. I guess that's not shocking anyone out there, but it's been awhile since I've seen this Philly boy back on the East coast. I've got clown face on video.. Slow mo that a couple hundred times and it's still mind blowing. I also saw a couple runs where every trick was a triple dex. One that comes to mind is (forgive my naming of tricks.. I'm awful at remembering names): Jani Walker (barraging style ripwalk) > Blurriest (blurry barfly) > Flurry (barraging legover) > paradon swirl.. Ouch. I won't tell you how many new things he *almost* hit in front of us.. We'll just let him show you sometime soon. In general, long insanely difficult runs.. Cleanest dexes in town without a doubt. Good to see you Sunil!! 2) Peter Irish.. ugh. Still the man. Besides everything you've grown to expect from Peter (long insane runs that look so easy for him.. mobius to pdx torque looks like infinity to infinity for Peter.. kinda makes me wanna scream actually.. anyhow..) he showed us more of this atomic gyro set he's been playing with. Irish Cream (atomic gyro torque, or atomic mobius) is a really cool trick especially when it's hit right in your face. It's just such a cool concept. The "best new trick of the weekend award" must go to Peter for Irish Spring.. I didn't personally witness this one, but there were countless others that can verify.. Irish Spring = Atomic Vortex. OUCH! 3) Scott Bevier continues to prove that he can shred long with the best of them. His runs go and go.. Vortex to Gyro DLO?! Toe shuffle like nothing... Mid run atomic ducking mirage (ducking atom smasher I guess) and pixie ducking like cake. Nuclear tricks both sides in the same run.. Both side spins and gyro.. And all this with a style that is so slick and smooth. No fill to Flash's game... 4) OK.. I've got to wrap up everything else in one bullet point.. Got to get some work done today. Kenny Shults.. So damned close to double spinning pdx whirl. Yep. Tons of other cool stuff, but that was the one that had me shaking my head the most.. Josh Penny showed up to let us know he's still the player with the lightest foot falls.. He'll be ripping it up and it looks like he's barely trying. Dave Sanchez.. look out for Dave. Stepping anything is not out of the question for him. Great consistency and good vocabulary of tricks.. Jake Milofsky.. He's been skooooooling! Wait and see. Newbies galore!! OK, I have to go.. The event was fun.. East Coast freestyle is BLOWING UP!!! See you all soon.

He could be really good at footbag, and have a really unique style all his own, and I'd like to help him get to that point, but he needs shoes... he doesn't have a lot of money to throw around, as he's trying to make himself financially independent of his parents and he's paying for his own schooling, so, the point of all this is... Does anyone have a pair of size 8 - 8.5 - 9 lavers that they'd be willing to either donate or sell cheaply in the name of furthering the east coast freestyle scene, and helping another footbag player with a good heart?

Please take the time to read this message as it will save you, me, and my volunteers on footbag.org a lot of time. -- (1) No advertisements: Don't even think of blatantly advertising for products or services for your own personal gain, or for that of anyone else. It's fine to edify and inform people of products, rate them and discuss them, etc., but it becomes a problem if it turns into a formal endorsement or advertisement. I run this service (with lots of help), under the auspices of a non-profit corporation, and with resources that cost me over $150 a month at the current rate. I will not have the list turn into a marketplace. I will not be responsible for transactions that go bad as a result of a member of my website or this e-mail list entering into any financial interaction with any other player or member. Repetitive, "subliminal" ads are NOT okay. Please just be *honest* and if a discussion comes up that involves your website or your products or services, feel free to discuss it openly. But do not annoy list members with constant mentions of your favorite websites or companies. -- (2) No HTML mail ("rich text" in Hotmail, default in AOL 6.0, Outlook): Please (PLEASE) don't use HTML mail (ever). Turn it off immediately, once and for all. HTML mail is stupid in general, but especially problematic for the footbag discussion lists. HTML was not designed to be used for e-mail, and many e-mail programs do not handle it correctly. More importantly, fully half of our members are on the digest version of the list, which puts all mail in-line into a huge message every day and mails it to them, and HTML mail simply doesn't work (it looks like garbage to non-computer geeks). I personally hate the digest and am thinking about killing it because of all the problems it causes. But since we still have so many people using it, please respect them and only post *plain text*. Otherwise, the digest will be completely illegible. If you post HTML, the moderator may ignore you, but usually will reply with a BOUNCE message to tell you to fix it. But you have to figure out how. The moderator can't spend the time to teach everyone how to use e-mail. You people on AOL 6.0, please call AOL and complain and/or ask them how to disable HTML for your outgoing mail. Hotmail users need to always make sure the "rich text format" checkbox on your "compose" screen is *UNCHECKED*. (Mac users on Hotmail don't have to worry. It does the right thing.) Never send mail to the list in "rich text". Plain text means e-mail with absolutely no mark-up -- no bold-facing, no underlining, no font changes, nothing. Just plain, simple, text. -- (3) Rejection: Expect your post to be rejected if you haven't read the policies here and are not adhering to them. If you are rejected (with a "BOUNCE" message), DO NOT argue with the moderator. Try to understand the issue, and feel free to offer a compromise, but do *NOT* argue. It serves no purpose but to create animosity. The moderator is simply trying to help keep the conversation on topic and within the expectations of the bulk of the list's membership, to keep this forum as efficient and informational as possible. This is not a free-for-all. When the moderator rejects a posting it is *not* personal, and you should not treat it that way nor should you make it that way by arguing with the moderator. We no longer guarantee to write e-mails explaining the reasons for rejecting posts. It just becomes too much of a burden to get into a discussion with every person. If your message is not suitable for the list, it simply won't show up. For newer members, we'll still give some feedback to help you understand the guidelines because they are not all clearly documented. For you regulars who keep getting bounced, and you know who you are, sorry but if your message doesn't show up and you see other messages showing up with a send date after yours, that means it was rejected. If you don't like this new policy or any of the policies we're going to begin enforcing, we urge you to go start your own list. -- (4) Thinking: Please don't reply willy-nilly to posts on the list. Think it out, decide whether or not you want to post the message to the entire list or just to a person you're talking to. And then, carefully consider whether your message will be rejected. It wastes the moderator's time and yours if you post a message that will be rejected. And you know who you are, those of you who have the same types of posts rejected over and over again, so please cool it. -- (5) Signatures and From lines: Use your real full name (first and last) in the From: line of your outgoing e-mail (you must configure this in your mail preferences). Use proper capitalization in your name. (E.g., if your name is John Smith, put John Smith in your name setting on your e-mail program; do *not* put "john smith".) ONLY users of AOL will be allowed to leave their names off the From: header because many AOL users can't set this up. But all AOL users *must* put their full name in the signature. Not just first name. Both names. No exceptions. With proper capitalization. ("Proper capitalization" does NOT mean ALL-CAPS. It means *proper* capitalization. Everyone should have learned this in second grade. If you are not old enough to have gone to second grade, you are not allowed to post to the list.) Again, to be clear, messages like this: From: "Sarah Chen" To: footbag@list.footbag.org Subject: Re: [footbag] Why Hacky Sack is the worst footbag manufacturer *will* be accepted, whereas messages like this: From: "A goofy hacker" To: footbag@list.footbag.org Cc: marshall@yahoo.com, bill@excite.com, fred@poly.edu Subject: what he said will *NEVER* be accepted. :-) -- (6) Read up before posting: Do not post any messages to the list until you're *completely* caught up! That means, before you post a single message, read *all* the mail on the list that has arrived since you last read mail. Then, reply to the thread(s) you have replies for, and in some cases take the opportunity to reply to multiple messages on the *same thread* in the *same message*. Don't rapid-fire 6 messages on the same thread the same night, replying to everyone else's posts. That's just a pain for everyone. But be warned if you post a single reply to multiple different threads (see 9 below), you will be rejected. -- (7) Don't be lazy: a. Replying -- Don't include the entire message you're replying to in your post. Cut it down to just the bit you're actually referring to, to give folks context (in fact, this is requested, see 9 below). b. Posting -- Don't post questions that you can easily find the answer to yourself. Don't ask me or anyone else either, before you check the website. The best thing to do before you begin posting is to read *everything* at http://www.footbag.org/faq (F.A.Q. stands for "frequently-asked questions"), as well as on the freestyle section at http://www.footbag.org/freestyle -- and of course the footbag.org website is the repository for most of the information people frequently want relating to footbag. For example, don't post "what kind of shoe do people use?" or "what kind of footbag do people use?", and especially not "what kind of music do people listen to when they play?" The first two are easily answered by reading the information online; the third is just plain annoying. -- (8) Give context for follow-up messages: Similarly, don't reply without giving context! Always use the same subject line as the thing to which you're replying, and include a snippet of the specific point to which you're replying (and not the whole message, please). Use the *REPLY* function of your mail program, which will help you. Don't manually type Subject: lines because you'll probably get it wrong. For the threading feature of many people's mail readers to work properly, the subject lines have to be exactly right. Otherwise, if you randomly change the subject line every time you post, nobody can keep track of the conversation. Especially not a year from now when they're perusing the archives. (Has everyone seen the archives? It helps a lot to do that to get some idea why this matters. http://list.footbag.org/ ) -- (9) Stick to one thread at a time: Don't combine two threads into one. Keep them separate so people can follow the various conversations (see 8 above). Use your reply button/command to reply to messages on the list, so that the Subject: header is correctly reformatted to keep threads together as described above. -- (10) Keep your e-mail address up to date: Don't post to the list from an e-mail address in the From: line that is not subscribed to the list. If you change e-mail addresses, you must update your list membership (see http://list.footbag.org/). -- (11) Post to list addresses only when necessary: Don't write the list itself when you can write a more specific address. a. If you want to talk to someone and you can't remember their address, don't post to the list saying, "Hey, so-and-so, if you're out there, write me." The member directory at http://www.footbag.org/members/ is your best source of contact information, and/or the list archives which show the e-mail address of everyone posting (at http://list.footbag.org/). b. If you want to unsubscribe or have an administrative question regarding the list, for goodness' sake just ask the administrator (me) directly. If people don't know my e-mail address by now, ... Also, don't be afraid that Derrick or I will bite your head off. Just expect it, and it won't hurt so much. :-) c. If you are replying to a message, never send your mail without looking back over it, seeing if the freestyle list is cc'ed or not, and only cc it if you are really sure! Many messages can just go privately and don't need to go to the list. Consider using private e-mail to follow up public posts, as opposed to completely open conversations. (Visualize it this way: every time you post to the freestyle list, you're walking up to the podium in a large auditorium and seizing the microphone. Vs. just walking over to someone who has just spoken over the microphone and continuing a private conversation on the sidelines.) -- These are not the only rules, but the most important ones. We reserve the right to refuse to post messages for any reason. Don't take this the wrong way, but if you're not happy with how we moderate this discussion group, feel free to create your own. Thanks.

Many props for sticking your hands out to offer a reason to get together and shred. Last time it was the smurf events, what's it gonna be this year? Informal shreds are where it is! There are so many people making it out to Philly Footworks events this year, it is exciting. Bob pretty much summed up the highlights of the event. Jon Schneider also showed up and was performing his contortionist style, teaching some newbies what can be done when barriers are ignored. Thanks everyone for showing me a good time, it took two days for the soreness to wear off, ouch! I have to get back in shape for the summer.

Okay, don't take this wrong -- but no duh! There are only a handful of sport shoes on the planet that stay the same year after year and continue to be sold. Sport shoes are one of those things that change every few months, like car models change every year. Companies just don't stick to the same design -- almost ever. The exceptions are "classic" sport shoes like the Rod Laver (thankfully for us), "Stan Smith", and the Converse "All Star". (Now, for those pedantic among you, please don't argue whether or not Teva's are really sport shoes, if it turns out all of their models have remained unchanged for 10 years. That's irrelevant to this conversation. I'm referring to shoes like the Nike Air which has seen about 900 different sub-versions and constant change, etc. That's the market adidas is playing in.) The idea behind these numbered "Millenium" editions of the Laver is that they're adidas' answer to that concept of keeping "fresh" with new versions of their classic. But (thankfully) they at least have not yet changed their plans to keep the classic a classic (though of course as we've found, the sole and other features change very slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer). So, be happy you can get the classic Lavers, and *expect* any newer model of shoe to be only around for 2-4 months, which is normal for these types of shoes. Thanks for listening. Steve P.S. I use a lower-case "a" on adidas because they actually spell their name that way. :-) From owner-freestyle@footbag.org Tue Apr 23 06:39:45 2002 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id GAA07650 for freestyle-outgoing@list.footbag.org; Tue, 23 Apr 2002 06:39:45 -0700 Received: from foundationcomputing.net (donorport.org [207.160.174.56]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id LAA32728 for ; Sun, 21 Apr 2002 11:23:57 -0700 Received: from dfiatx96-031.dfiatx.dsl.gtei.net ([4.3.96.31] verified) by foundationcomputing.net (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 3.5.8) with ESMTP-TLS id 1142490 for freestyle@list.footbag.org; Sun, 21 Apr 2002 13:18:28 -0500 Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2002 13:24:00 -0500 Subject: Re: [freestyle] Footbag freestyle etiquette Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v481) From: Derrick Fogle To: freestyle@list.footbag.org Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In-Reply-To: <3CA02072@webmail> Message-Id: X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.481) Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org > ===== Original Message From Samuli Viitanen ===== > I'd like to mention self-serving in circle play.

I think self-serving sucks. 1) No tilting! No Guilting! But hey, *dropping* the bag is OK! (that senseless mindset just kills me). If you miss the bag, it's time to pass it on. Actually, the best time to pass the bag is *before* you drop it! 2) If you *are* in 'practice' mode where you need to try something several times in a row to get the feel of it there's nothing wrong with doing this solo! You self-serving groups should try this sometime: each of you can kick solo near one another; as you take short breaks between rallies, you can watch your buddies cut their moves. I think it's *more* exciting for passers-by to see several bags in the air than to see one group in a circle - especially when it appears that one person is just serving to his/herself over and over. You can get more practice in faster, and make and impressive-looking scene at the same time. Please try this for at least 15 minutes out of an hour-long session; then you can get together in the circle, seriously warmed up. 3) If you really are in a small group of fellow shredders that all want to do this and nobody else is watching, who cares? Self-serve all you want. Of course I think you're just hurting yourself and your fellow shredders by ignoring a very important kicking discipline (keeping the bag off the ground) and slowing down the tempo of the session. Even in a circle of just 3-4 players, if everyone self-serves several times, each player gets cold by the time the bag comes back around. If *everyone* passes the bag after a drop (or better yet, before!) the tempo of the circle is much quicker and everyone stays warmer. Who knows, it might improve your game just as much as you think self-serving does. 4) A lot of people don't like self-serving, and if you're kicking in public you give passers-by a really poor impression of footbag. So don't do it unless you're tucked away in a private place with a group of kickers who all consent to such a bad habit. -Derrick From owner-freestyle@footbag.org Tue Apr 23 06:42:52 2002 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id GAA07900 for freestyle-outgoing@list.footbag.org; Tue, 23 Apr 2002 06:42:52 -0700 Received: from hotmail.com (f153.law7.hotmail.com [216.33.237.153]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id NAA30557 for ; Mon, 22 Apr 2002 13:57:44 -0700 Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 22 Apr 2002 13:57:44 -0700 Received: from 209.115.237.234 by lw7fd.law7.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 22 Apr 2002 20:57:44 GMT X-Originating-IP: [209.115.237.234] From: "Dylan Livingston" To: freestyle@list.footbag.org Subject: [freestyle] More stuff to hit Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2002 14:57:44 -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 22 Apr 2002 20:57:44.0606 (UTC) FILETIME=[59A7CBE0:01C1EA40] Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org Hey everyone.

Rick Reese here. Here's a quick take on this subject, if I'm kicking with Daryl G., and he tries p-dox legbeater to mixleplick, and he misses it, I would encourage him to try it again, whether I touched the bag and hand-tossed it to him or whether he kept it himself. The way we typically play, others in the circle approve of the retry, then they try again. We also have incorporated some other variations of self-tossing. If somebody misses a trick, passes the bag, then gets it back and bobbles the catch (basic kick saves or stalls) and it hits the ground, YOU lose your turn. The latest circle expirement was to shred with two bags at once, a smashing success, works best with 5 or more players, It's so FUN, Daryl and I would have challenges, we'd bust 20-plus strings and then pass the bag only to turn and have another bag coming at you, talk about a workout......one time, Red and Daryl were jammin' simultaneously and both hit Blurry Whirl at the exact same time, and kept going for awhile, it was sweet. We also had challenges, one person starts and calls out combos to hit and the first person to hit that combo would get to choose the next combo and so on and so on....i.e. scorpion-tail on both sides in same combo, then mobius on both sides, or fifty 3-add tricks in a row, try it , it's awesome. Hand Toss.....With permission. See you all at Worlds, shred till you Cramp. Rippin'. > ===== Original Message From Samuli Viitanen ===== > I'd like to mention self-serving in circle play.

So, I know Xdex is pretty widely accepted as an accurate gauge of difficulty (considering the system we're using). So, since it's so widely accepted, does anyone have a problem with me changing all X-dex moves on my list to one add higher (Or 2 for stuff like S&M)? Then I could just put (XDEX) beside each even numbered X-dex, instead of having the gaudy bold xes sticking out all over the place. It would make more sense, in my opinion. Who agrees? Who thinks I'm a nut? Who agrees but still thinks I'm a nut? Who disagrees, but is fairly sure of my un-nutness? Also, I'm not sure about the rule that XDEX is negated by symposium. Who agrees that this rule needs work? I personally think it should be thrown altogether. Witchdoctor is an XDEX move in my opinion (5 adds is good for this move, no?). Let me know what you think.

I'm sure everyone's already made plans and packed their bags to attend the freestyle jam in Augusta, GA in two weekends (May 5). I thought I'd write into the list to hype the event up a bit and add a supplemental comment or two. First off, Ben (the tournament director) is only 2 hours up the road from me, so we kick together every couple of weekends. He's one of the more enthusiastic players I've ever met. If for no other reason, you should come out to kick because Ben's a fun guy to be in a circle with. Of course, another good reason to come out is that I'll be there. If that's not quite enough for you, I've just learned that Jon Schneider is flying down for the event. So there's three good reasons to come. I've also seen the tournament site already; it's a pretty sweet venue. Ben's put a ton of work into this event by himself, and I'm sure that both he and the sport of footbag would like the support you could lend by playing that weekend. The final reason I'm writing is to inform everyone that I'll be driving to Augusta on Saturday morning, and I'm hoping to find or start some shred circles and/or four-square that day. If anyone is interested in this idea and will be there on Saturday, drop me a private email. I'll coordinate with Ben to find us a location. Thanks for reading so far. I'll see you all at the Cinco de Mayo Footbag Fest.

He's busting ripped warrior, pixie ducking whirl, shooting mirage, mobius, blurriest and has had moves like pixie ducking torque, nuclear torque, pixie diving double over down, marius, blurry torque, and lots others roll off his foot. http://chan.pixelnation.cc/derekvandall.wmv The vid can be viewed with windows media player, and is 4.77 megs.

It was made to be used, Iīve see on this mailing list dozens of moves that Iīve never heard and donīt have a clue (spelling?) what they might be, like Big apple sauce, maybe someone has wrote it in Jobīs, but thatīs not the point. My point is, USE JOBīS NOTATION! If you donīt know how, learn it, or use other names of the tricks, like Tomahawk - ducking paradox whirl. There are already too many names for tricks (try to remember them all) and new players are suggesting cooler names for old tricks... Please, just play the game, donīt chance the name... ps.

Nice thread! You all know, that there are 2 kind of circles, #1 is "Hacking the Sack", and #2 is freestyle circle... #1: No self serve, no toe-pickups - no questions about it. (Playing with your ***friends*** as a short warm-up or for fun you may break these rules at HOME TURF ONLY!) #2: Let me separete this into 2 "sub-cateories": a.) Intermediate Level: At my level, I can do a 10-15 move string, but not more. Guiltless is still far from me. I think, that at this level, self serving (let me say "trying again" from now on) is totally acceptable, as long as your not a hog. I mean what if I drop the bag after a few tricks, but I would like to go on with my shred(?)... Should I pass it? Maybe, but I will keep the bag, and I will try again for a few more seconds, and then I will pass it. I guess, that skooling alone is far more boring than skooling with your friends in a circle. b.)Professional Level: I dont want to tell you how to do it, since I am not at that level, so no arguments about it. BUT! What if pro's and intermediates are playing in the very same circle? I had the chance to play with a few "big boys" (Ales, Vasek ... etc.) None of them were mad at me, because I pickup up the bag (by hand), and went on with my 2-3 add tricks. Sometimes I tried 5 times (that is 5 drops...), still, they were ok with it. I believe, that we should not have written rules, and it should not be the first drop to pass the bag, but the time you play... No hogs. "Respect all players, regardless of skills" - you remember? PS: One question: How shoudl I learn from you, if I have to pass the bag after my first drops? i dont want to be an outcast, I dont want you to hate me, just because I want to try again to hit a move I just saw... Watching you guys in a circle, and trying to ***see*** the move is what I do in a circle with better players than me. But please, let me try it... And let me try it more than once. I am NOT a hog, but somehow I want to be as good as you :) And without your "help and appreciation", I wont be able to do it.

I just wanted to pass along some terminology on ducks thought up by Adam Keith. Enjoy! gf Ducking: Opposite side duck. (e.g. right side of the body > duck from right to left > left side of the body). Over the neck only. Dodging: Same side duck. (e.g. right side of the body > duck from left to right > right side of the body). Under the head then back over the neck. Diving: Same side dive. (e.g. right side of the body > duck from right to left > right side of the body). Over the neck then back under the head. Darting: Opposite side dive. (e.g. right side of the body > duck from left to right > left side of the body). Under the head, back over the neck, then back under the head. This cleans up the old definitions of ducking and diving (meaning that they are determined regardless of where it is set from, but instead how it is performed after the bag is in the air). They are in alphabetical order so they are easier to remember. Butterfly example (from clip set): Ducking Butterfly = Ducking Infinity Dodging Butterfly = Ducking same Butterfly Diving Butterfly = Diving same Butterfly Darting Butterfly = Diving Infinity Double Down combinations: Ducking Barfly Darting Barfly = Zulu de Loup Ducking Paradon Darting Paradon Dodging Double Over Down Diving Double Over Down Dodging Down Double Down Diving Down Double Down = Down Diver From owner-freestyle@footbag.org Tue Apr 30 17:11:57 2002 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) id RAA25147 for freestyle-outgoing@list.footbag.org; Tue, 30 Apr 2002 17:11:57 -0700 Received: from ds9.beatricene.com (ds9.beatricene.com [208.15.132.129]) by llic.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id JAA14206 for ; Mon, 29 Apr 2002 09:36:46 -0700 Received: from chris-wks.planetquake.com (chris-wks.beatricene.com [208.15.132.77]) by ds9.beatricene.com (8.11.0/8.11.0) with ESMTP id g3TGaeK19467 for ; Mon, 29 Apr 2002 11:36:40 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <4.3.1.2.20020429103129.00b0b5d0@mail.planetquake.com> X-Sender: shatter@mail.planetquake.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.1 Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 11:28:56 -0500 To: freestyle@footbag.org From: Chris Holden Subject: [freestyle] E3 and LA Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freestyle@footbag.org Hi all, Is anyone here involved in gaming industry or going to be at E3 this year?

I've been hitting a move lately that kills my knee. If anyone else needs a good knee-killin', give it a shot. Like a crossbody rake, but you catch the bag in front of your foot instead of behind. The only way to explain it is a swirl that turns into a crossbody rake, or a badly the'd pandora (gyro pickup). I guess it's a four add(DEX, DEL, XBD, DEX). Again, it killed my knee, but a person with more flexibility should have less trouble. Is anyone already hitting this, if so, what's it called? Dylan Livingston PS:Is anyone hitting anything out of the double atomic set? I heard something about someone hitting double atomic butterfly, but I could have misread.
