idea i just had...

i was thinking...itd be pretty cool for there to be a website that you can type in a trick name...itll show you a video of the trick and tips on how to hit it...i think it would be a great way for bigginers to learn tricks, that is unless someone has allready thought of this idea and has allready made a website like this..i dunno...just a thought that just popped into my head.

I like the idea, it'd be alot simpler than having to browse through all the trick names to find the one you were looking for. I'm lazy like that though.

I like the way flipsider is. Beginners dont know a lot of the trick names to even browse for.

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » 06 May 2005 13:18

ya..thats true...but it would be a handy website for even people that hear a trick and are like...what the hell is that? and type it in on this site and find a video of it and are like oooooh so thats what it is. or something like that.

Yeah, its a good idea. I also had the idea of searching for footbagers in your area. Enter in your area code or state and a list of names pop up with contact info.

ya thats another good idea...i wish i was alittle bit more computer savvy because then i would acually make this website...but unfortunatly i'm damn near computer illiterate

Learn job's notation - that way most of the time you don't need to see a video to know what the move is.

You can search through the trick list on footbag.org and even if they don't have a video you can then try and find it someplace else. They do have tips for most moves though.

yea id say the best place for that Tommy is www.flipsider.com

it has a great selection from 1add-6dd tricks, and then has a whole section of 7+ add tricks

ya...but when is flipsider going to be updated? it says in 05 and well..its 05' now and its still not updated...but ya i guess your right...flipsider probably is the best place for that.

Max (sNale) had a good idea - a move list that consists of a database
of move components - that way you can search for a component and
it will show all moves that include that component - for example:

show all move ending/starting on clipper
show all moves with an i-o dex
show all stepping moves

and so on.

It would be easy to update, since you'd just have to add new moves to
the database - the only (heavily) time-consuming thing is getting all the
moves into the database - you'd have to use Job's and go from there.

you guys are just wasting brain power, bc this is where Kobus Brummer and I *started* 1.25 years ago, planning v5. Everything you guys mentioned and so much more (tons and tons more) is built into the new site. I don't care to go into detail- kinda jet lagged- but it will be the ultimate resource. Ok, I can't tease you like that, so just a blurb: every trick will have multiple videos (by multiple players), and everything is searchable. For example, you can display a page with all Jorden's Whirl and Blender moves (he will be one of the players in the Tricks section). Every trick will be its own topic, to which people can reply with their tips. If someone needs more help than is already posted, there is a special "Requests" area that forwards any replies to the appropriate trick. And that's really just the beginning...

To anyone reading this, please stop asking me when v5 will release, because I don't know. It's not up to me. It's all programming from here, and I don't speak that kind of language.

Love,
Flipsiderrrr
