What's Pendilum>Torque called?

I just started trying this trick earlier today. Just, a pendilum to a torque. I hit a very very choppy one, but I was only able to bring it back up with the catching foot, and it flew off, lol. Thanks.

You nailed it. Pendulum > torque is two tricks, not one.

If you want to denote an individual trick as having been set from a pendulum, you'd call it 'pendulous', ie pendulous torque, but you wouldn't say that you hit pendulum > pendulous torque, since the pendulus is implied.

So... I'd just call it Pendulous Torque? Ok, I get it, thanks.

Pendulous is pendulum set from cross-body, like a clipper.
Pendulum sets up behind you and usually comes over your shoulder.

Glad you're keeping up Evan. lmao, j/k.
Yea, I gathered that much just recently actually.

I have this kind of awkward set that I do. You know what a zoid set is. Well, it's kind of like that. But different. With zoid, if you are setting it with your right foot, you stand on your right foot with the bag resting on it. And then you lift your left leg a bit so you can jump and set the bag to the left of your body. Right?

Well it's kind of different. I stand on my left foot, and have my right foot in the air instead, with the bag on it. And basically, I bring my right foot behind my left leg and set the bag just like you would set a zoid...

Anywho.. After I started doing that a long time ago, I started whipping it more. I would catch it and proceed as to do a Pendulum, but I would cut behind my other leg instead and just lift it into that awkward set I explained above. And it just keepsing getting whippier and whippier (lol, whippier...).

And I started trying to do a Pendulum that would cut across behind my planted foot. In my crazy little head I was thinking, omg, omg, new trick. But nope. I was watching a few vids and I saw you do Pendulous Torque, and then I actually smacked my forehead (Really hard too.). Realized that the Pendulum I was trying to do (Still havn't done it the way I want to...) would be called Pendulous.

But yea. My image is this. Pendulum goes from front to back, and then comes over your sholder usually. Pendulous would go from right to left (Assuming you're setting with your right foot.) and would come up exactly like a clipper. Correct?

Thanks for the explaination Evan.

Peace.
