Good to see an update. Top work Chris.

I have nothing more to add.

This is a great list.
I remember when i was first watching Tricks of the Trade 1 I made a list of all the moves on that video. I schooled and schooled until i could hit every trick on that list.
This is a better list. Every player should make it their goal of being able to hit every trick on this list. Granted there isn't video demonstration for all the moves but its all out there and a great start. Have fun schooling all these moves!!!

[Chris Holden]

Thanks guys!

Granted there isn't video demonstration for all the moves...

There easily could be! I'm sure all these moves, minus a few were hit at yesterday's session. I could get videos of them all, and now, I think I will!

[hacksterbator]

i'll ask erik if he could make a fundamentals page for hackrifice.com

he could easily make links to the move demos we have.

[NotHisRealName]

Chris, Andrew... How are you guys coming along with those fundamentals?

[bigdirtyfoot]

*Bump* This was a good start. Is Chris gone? Could someone else take this up, or maybe we could add it as a feature on Spadricks resource site?

[hacksterbator]

just looking back on this i think there needs to be spinning clipper (gyro clipper) in the 3add section, since there are spinning 4 add tricks. i just noticed this now.

[Sporatical_Distractions]

it's good to have a short list that's easily accessible. Some lists are just way too long because everyone keeps adding moves and pretty soon you have the move list from footbag.org and then some. nice job bringing back the list

[Chris Holden]

The update is in the works. I'm putting a lot of work into making it as comprehensive and condensed as possible to be the most affective, short list. Spinning Clipper is definately in, as well as a couple other spinning moves. All of the original moves from the footbag dot org list will be there, and the biggest additions are in the five adds section (original only have two 5s). Anyway, I'll have something soon.
