Jeremy OWheel, an IFPA/footbag.org member responded to my thread about [BOD]s and another thread about INs, OUTs. I know you were questioning the terminology as well, so here's my nickel.
Mathieu Latulippe wrote: So in other words you're saying that you find footbag.org's notation for the "hop over swirl" clear?

INSIDE > (JUMP) [BOD] > OP SWIRL [DEX] > SAME CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

but wouldn't it be that much more clearer with...

INSIDE > HOPOVER [BOD] > SAME SWIRL [DEX] > OP CLIP [XBD][DEL]?


it depends really if a [bod] jump only counts when you jump over the footbag in a manner or the other. Couldn't a [bod] simply be a guy jumping up without it being over the footbag? So in other words, from an inside set, the guy jumps into the air, lands, and twists to do an op swirl. Couldn't inside > (jump)[bod] > op swirl [dex] > same clip [xbd][del] apply to that as well?

I appoligize if this is a really newbish question


...............

For the left leg:
An "in" would be circling the foot or leg counterclockwise around the footbag
An "out" would be circling the foot or leg clockwise around the footbag.

And the opposite for the right leg..:
"in" = clockwise
"out" = counterclockwise

Interesting point about what a [bod] add is - I think because hopover style tricks are fairly uncommon it doesn't come up very often. I think a hopover probably gets the bod add because you're jumping over the footbag - if you were just jumping I don't think it would get the add.
P.S.: Grats! for the atw. Perfect it, and begin adding it in moves. Now get your leg-over, mirage, etc :mrgreen:

ahh! well i was almost there. i said the oposite. haha. so out = starting on the outside of the body and going inward. and in is starting on the inside going outward. cool to know. i thought it was the other way around. but it's ncie to know theres a correct way and it's not just random!
