If you can put it in notation then it exists. The next question you ask is if it's possible? I've seen people hit symposium whirling swirl...what's one more set? Ha...anyway i'm not sure it it's been hit or filmed but talk about a flurry of legs! I'd love to see this move.

I seem to remember hearing that Rick Reese hit this many years ago. Can anyone confirm? Pete?

You`re thinking of swirling symp whirling swirl, which is a different trick.

Symp swirling set... is kinda an iffy set. Personally I feel that swirls can only be truly symposium in a very select set of circumstances. The move proposed sounds incredibly hard, because the whirling swirl would most likely have to be downtime, and symposium swirling set doesn`t exist yet. The timing on the footwork would be nuts. Maybe the original poster envisioned a different, more feasible move, like swirling symp whirling swirl, but described it wrong? Who knows.

Toe ss Symp Swirling set? I'm *positive* people have hit that.

If not, how about Beta Phasing ss Whirling Swirl? Seems feasible.

Yes, Rippin hit that back in 1992 or 93 I think, I've got it on tape somewhere. It shows you how advanced he was even back then. It's a shame more people didnt see him in his prime, he was the best.

I know you're talking about swirling symp whirling swirl now, but Ales does symp whirling swirling -- I can see a same side whirling swirl after that -- I misread the title and thought this is what you were talking about. Crazy @___@

This would be an extremely hard trick, if you mean swirling symp whirl swirl. Ales, in kampa park almost hits a Symp whirling swirl set to a hop over. he may be able to do it if he could get a good enough swirl set. Vasek has probably attempted this move. his swirl sets are getting good. i've seen him on video hit swirling barroque. so i guess it is possible

Actually Ales has hit Croxton which is Symp Whirling Swirling set Mirage... So he can hit Symp. Whirling Swirling set.

Regarding symposium swirls: toe ss symp swirling is possible, but I haven`t seen it. Same with phasing really. I regard the swirl in either of those sets to be symple. If the set foot never touches the ground throughout the trick, then I would say the swirl is symposium. But only under that circumstance. Otherwise the swirl is symple, not symposium.

Croxton is pretty midtime. I wouldn`t say he can hit symp whirling swirling as a true set, since the bag is already descending after the swirl. If the bag were at its apex or ascending after the swirl, then I would say he could do it as a set, but from what I`ve seen, that`s not the case.

...so did you just define Symposium? Because I know what Symposium means, that's why I suggested those examples. Maybe you misunderstood toe ss symp swirling to mean symple, but I said Beta Phasing ss Whirling Swirl, right?
