Downtime Tap

Cod · Post by **Cod** » 31 Jul 2005 14:32

Hi all. I think I have invented a new move. It's Dap - Downtime Tap. I have video with myself hitting Tap Dance - Pixie ss Dap. What do you think about it?

Dap: Toe >> Op Out (DEX) > Plant > Same In (DEX) > Op Toe (DEL)
Tap Dance: Toe > Same In (DEX) >> Plant > Same Out (DEX) > Plant > Same In (DEX) > Op Toe (DEL)

hmmmmmmm...well.........
props on wmv format

the move certainly looks cool but I'm not sue if its "clean". I wouldn't know how to justify cleanlyness of a move like that though? toe moves scare me

I think it was clean and thats really badass. Congrats man. I would like to see it blurry or something that would seem to be more downtime.

I'd like to see downtime atomsmasher please!

that was sweet.

I like the shorts, it seems like your boxing

Cool idea, but I don't think it was clean. It is really hard to tell from that camera angle. You should try getting an overhead shot of it. That'd make it a lot easier to tell.

Nick Laroche has been hitting downtime taps before... Nick confirm..

I've hit fairy ss pickup all downtime - because I couldn't do fairy sets at that time and I guess I have fast legs. Similar move anyway I guess.

Hard to tell if it's really clean or not but nice move for sure. I don't know about naming moves that have basically already been hit before. It would be like naming tapping clipper or furious muted far clipper. I think if the only difference between two moves is the time when the components are performed it doesn't really count as a new move - just a new variation on an old move.

It's really cool that someone has hit that before! Jeremy, your move is also crazy! I wanna see a vid. About cleanlyness of my move: I felt it clean while hitting. I'll try to make one more video with better camera angle. About naming this stuff: First of all, in my opinion downtime version of Tap is completely different move than normal Tap and it needs a name. As I see, I'm not the first hitting that, so I can't name it, but maybe Nick likes a name Dap?

Same with Tap Dance

And BTW: what Dap moves has Nick hit?

Sweet move, Michal. I thought it looked pretty clean; even if it wasn't, it's still super sick.

Nice move but I have to say that I hate the name and see no reason why that component should be named.

It has a name - original tap.

OMG. I have totally forgotten about "Oiriginal" concept

. Now I can forget about name "Dap". But what about Pixie ss Original Tap? Can it be Tap Dance or not? What do you think?

i think that's an awesome name

sweet move too! if my computer played movies i'd download it... ><

Yeah, I don't know if the second dex really clears the bag as much as it should, but I know you can clean it up MORE. It looked so easy for you. Props

Oh yeah, and before I saw the video, I thought you hit quantum ss tap:

Toe > op in > same out > same in > op toe...maybe a move to try later??

I have hit today a really clean Tap Dance. Tom Mosher have seen that and said it's perfect. I think Slapping Original Tap is too difficult now, but maybe later... I think at the moment I can hit only one new move with that concept: Pixie Op Original Tap. I'll try it tomorrow. And then maybe Original Tap on flipside

SWEET move, Michal!!
I think I would really like to see JUST the downtime tap. The pixie same is sick, but it's hard to determine how downtime it is. Plus I know you're, like, the master of sailing, so I anticiate a mash between sailing same mirage and pixie tap. I want to see just the tap :p

Umm...in one of Jorden's videos he hit, like...wasn't it slapping tap?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was totally something like that. It was more of a quantum same atomic SET, though (if I recall)...similar to those wiggle and jiggle sets...or whatever.

Anyway, props! I slowmoed your slowmo -- it's totally fucking clean. There is no way it isn't It's a bit "sloppy", but it's by no means the. The second dex CLEARLY cleared the bag before the plant and third dex, and the third dex was performed with ENOUGH room above the ankle for it to be completely clean. To those who say it isn't clean, why do you say so?

If he were rotated 45 degrees more, the dex would "clear" the bag 100% of the time -- no matter where the bag actually was. From the angle it was shot at, you can't tell whether it is actually clean or just the rotation of his leg in relation to the camera.

I talked to jorden about that and it wasn't slapping tap. I'm pretty sure it was a double atomic. Like leggy/hippy ss mirage. Maybe he'll clarify???
