Footbag Nomenclature Request?

Spadrick · Post by **Spadrick** » 17 Oct 2004 13:20

Hey all. I was trying to do some research on the naming of footbag elements and combos etc. Heres what I am looking for if you can help out or point me in the right direction for information;

:: *less
-Tiltless (2 Adds and up)
- Guiltless (3 Adds and up)
- Tripless (4 Adds and up)
- Fearless (5 Adds and up)

:: Combos
- Beast (6>6>6)

This is all I have/know, would someone care to fill in the rest of the titles here? I'm looking for a complete list of *less categories and more combo names.

Thanks much in advance!

I think the only thing you're missing from those two categories is the jackpot (7-7-7).

I think it's become accepted to call a run containing only 6+ adds 'beastly', but I could be wrong.

Ie; Joe just did 5 beastly.

Isn't a run containing only 7s called godly? I remember reading that somewhere.

Yeah i would say a run of sixes is Beastly, its a pretty well used term
I dont really know about 7 add runs, considering only two consecutive unique seven add moves have been hit to my knowledge (unless Vaska hit that Jackpot combo in his backyard sometime

), a name hasnt really been necessary yet to describe a 7 add run. Godly is a pretty good description for this achievement though

Related: What constitutes a run or a combo? Eg. i would consider 7-7-7 to be a combo, not a run. I would say a run would need to probably 4- 5 contacts or more. Any body have a conclusive comment on this?

Playing with 7's is Godly.
Playing guiltless without BOP's (Butterfly, Osis and Pdx Mirage) is Genuine.

Is there a name for 5-5-5 combo?

I read somewhere that:

5>7>5 is called Haiku*
7>4>7 = Jumbo Jet.

Haiku = Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
