Help

I'm having a lot of trouble with these tricks, I can spin from clipper and do toe spinning toe but having real trouble when a mirage is added. Any tips are greatly appreciated

turn faster and try to spot the bag asap. Try to set straight, keep your arms near your body and turn the head ...

Do you mean toe spinning mirage or toe GYRO mirage?
Your Job's describes gyro, not spinning (dexing with the opposite leg as the setting foot). Gyro is a LOT easier, so if you're not, you should start with that.

Toe backspinning is HARD -- way harder than clipper backspinning, clipper inspinning, or even toe inspinning. Can you do clipper spinning (paradox) mirage and clipper gyro mirage really consistantly? If so I would practice your toe spinning basics over and over and over. If you can do toe spinning and gyro toe stalls, then pull a Rory Dawson and link those as much as you can. Work on toe spinning toe > toe gyro toe [repeat] over and over again. Once that is second nature try the toe gyro mirages again!

Job's Notation:
Toe Gyro Mirage: toe >> (back) spin [BOD] > op in [DEX] > op toe [DEL]
Toe Spinning mirage: toe >> (back) spin [BOD] > same in ["PDX"][DEX] > op toe [DEL]

Here's a video of Rory and I. We're doing toe-inspinning, but it's very similar...just easier.

Notice how fast Rory whips around on his second toe in-gyro mirage! That's how you want to spin on toe backspinning! Set high enough and just GIVE ER.

Hey Janis, if you get a chance to play with Lynton get him to show you toe spinning. He can hit pretty much any move off a toe that he can hit off a clipper - and I've seen him hit links fairly easily - stuff like fairy gyro mirage>gyro dlo.

Thanks for the quick responses.

Jeremy, I'd love to ask Lynton, it would be great if he came to Melbourne sometime soon.

Great vid Erik

Yeah I can hit toe inspinning toe and backspinning toe. I am having trouble with the backspinning mirage, its infuriating, I can hit backspinning pincher but not mirage. I've footed it about 15 times last session but never sealed it, never seemed to have enough time for spotting, so the timing of the mirage dex was often off target.
