Pendulum Set? [was 'Pendulum Component?']

Chema · Post by **Chema** » 29 Jul 2005 07:43

I think a Pendulum should be a component/set so you could start a move with a pedulum set, rather than it being a move all by it self that can't be added to anything.
This would broaden the footbag tricklist by so much, you would be able to take any move set it with a pendulum and it would be totally different, like the difference between setting a move with a Toe or Clipper.

Yeah, search "stepulous" on modified. And I think you meant "set" instead of component?

Yes I'm sorry set, but I guess it kinda has to be a component to be a set, well whatever, I mean't set

I don't understnd what stepulous has to do with a pedulum being a set. I found a vid but it didn't work for whatever reason.

Stepulous is pendulum stepping, therefore making pendulum part of the set.

Oh, I see. So a pendulum is like a component or at least a set. You could say that it is equivelant to a clipper in that you cannot do it mid trick because it is a deley, but you could use it to set the trick; and they are both worth 2 extra adds. The only difference is that you cannot finish a trick with a pendulum (like you can with a clipper), because once it lands the trick is over, but you could end the trick with a toe stall then begin your next trick with a pendulum giving the appearance that you ended the trick with a pendulum.

Am I correct?

i have two views coming towards this. a pendulum to something like a far double over or butter or something although extremely styley, imo should not be a concept. in my eyes it would be like calling an osis to another move just one move instead of an osis and another move.

however, pendulum into sets such as stepulous or penduluus nuclear set (never been hit but wow, that'd be crazy

) should be considered concepts because they are actual sets. i have no idea how the add system would work for that.

You can call it a set, but I'm calling it 'the' if the bag stops and resumes motion.

I believe a pendulum should be a continuous motion from the moment the bag contacts the foot until the moment the bag leaves the foot. If there is anything resembling a stall, and then a "pendulum set", I think it's the. You missed the whole trick of the pendulum, and hit a toe stall. to a one add, "dex", to a set for you next trick.

Pendulum is a great way to start a trick and it looks good if u can execute it smoothly. I saw Evan Lovely doing all sorts of Pendulous/Stepulous sets when he visisted Chicago last weekend, and whether you want to give an extra add for it or not, it IS a move component, and it looks good - very styley. Fuck the add system footbag is about fun. A spectator can't tell the difference and most think pendulum is the coolest thing the've ever seen, even if it's after doing a 10 contact fearless run.

yeah, whatever, it looks cool, and it's fun.

It's still not a pendulum, and when you use pendulum to describe a cheap generic ripoff of the original trick the terrorist win.

Call it a reverse rake or something.

What's not a pendulum?

...And what is a pendulum to you?

Chim-Chim · Post by **Chim-Chim** » 29 Jul 2005 15:48

No need to get bogged down in semantics - It's a cool trick and the name doesn't matter. Reverse rake set? You could call it anything you want the but a pendulous set by any other name smell's as sweet..

IT IS A COMPONENT - the name doesn't matter - the add's don't matter.

BTW if adds matter why aren't you in Finland?

tie a ball to a string a swing it in a big circle, observe the path of the ball.

A pendulum is a trick in which the bag follows that same path, in a continuous motion.

Anything else is a toe stall, and something else.

I'm not for adds, I"m for maintaining the integrity of the trick.

One is PenduLOUS one is PenduLUM

Yeah I agree, "A pendulum is a trick in which the bag follows the path of the arc" but as it is comig down you can dex around it before you have to catch it again. that is what I mean by usung it as a set.

Oh, so Pendulum is the trick by it self, and Pendulous is the set when added to something else. Right?

Pendulum is when the bag leaves the foot behind you and goes over the same side shoulder (could be opposite shoulder, making it a slight variant of pendulum. It's a little harder, try it) and Pendulous is when the bag leaves the foot from a xbd position (a la clipper/osis). If the bag stops motion, then it pretty much is a zoid set, which is cool, but something else.

Should a pedulum be a component so that you use it to set a move
