Double Duck

Post by crazydwarf »

Ok, just wondering if anyone has ever performed a double duck move... I was thinking it would either be like a double dex with your head, but that seems like it would be hard on the neck... the other way I was thinking it might work was if you set the bag up, went under it with your head, spun 360, and then ducked it again on it's way back down... don't know if that makes any sense, but it sounded like a neat thing to try. I would try myslef, but I'm not nearly good enough. Just wondering if anyone else has ever thought about, tried this.

Here is the first example... in real life of course it would be the head circling the bag, and not the bag circling the head, but you get the picture...

And here is the second example that I think is more promising, but amazingly hard to explain...

Hope someone can figure out what I mean and tell me if it's been done.

yes sam has hit it. I don't know where those vids are of him hitting it are. However i'm pretty sure at least a few times they were clean.

I'd love to see the videos. I brought this topic up before too, and got the same answers, but no videos.

I'm quite sure Karl Bohn of Hackrifice "invented" double ducking. Joel brought it to Worlds back in either 99 or 2000. Lon double ducks in Whirled Shred. Sam has a few double ducking videos -- I will post some others when I can actually log into my FTP account -- some of them were SUPER clean. I've done double diving before, too.
