Faco: do you mean "Butterfly Swirl"?

Faco · Post by **Faco** » 18 May 2006 11:18

Lol I was having fun too. I didn't realise that perhaps this trick doesn't exist. But It's in the Move List, I'll copy the Jobs:

Butterfly Swish(Butterfly XBD Rake)
Set>Same/Op Out(DEX)>Op XBody Rake(XBD)(DEL)(DEX)

You do a xbd Rake from Butterfly. Does that make sense?

Those jobs are fucked up anyway, if it means just plain Butterfly Rake.

I think you mean Wauxspin, I'll go film it right away...

Wow, thanks for filming that!
Does it have to be done clipper-set far Butterfly? Could you do it from toe-set same Butterfly and still count?

I think that the first dex in this move is really hard to make clean (edit: not in your movie, in general).

Hmm..Spinning Wauxspin...

You can set it from anywhere.

i've heard wauxspins arent supposed to be very rake-y, is this true??

Well it's a butterfly gyro toe stall if that makes sense, so no, I don't think that wauxpin is the same thing as butterfly rake.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 21 May 2006 14:31

precisely. and i think anssi's looks a bit rakeish to me. its not easy to land as more of a gyro toe and less of a rake, i know

Faco · Post by **Faco** » 22 May 2006 01:26

Now you have complicated it for me even more...Gyro? I see an Inspin not Gyro.

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 22 May 2006 02:16

lol

Yeah they look a bit rakeish, sorry, I'm not that good with them.

And I wouldn't call it Gyro Toe, but I don't know how I'd call it.

It has two dexes, but the second dex doesn't recieve an add, it's kinda like a fake dex.

If you watch vasek raw, he does perfect wauxpins there

I have always understood wauxpin to be a butterfly gyro toe. The second 'dex' is just a way to get your head around how it's supposed to work when learning. I think I have clean wauxpins but i'm not sure, I should film them some time to check.

tell me what you think: (bear in mind im actually somewhat injured, and these are my first attempts)

edit-maybe a link would be good too. its coming (raw unedited footage, 32 seconds)

edit-clicks it http://fizzied.phasing.org/Wauxspin.AVI

EDIT- i just watched it again..in the one i caught there was no first dex. the first one had the dex and the spin but i didnt catch it but the second one was just shit

I'm no expert on wauxpins, but perhaps try spinning a bit more(faster too) after you do the butterfly dex part.

max · Post by **max** » 31 May 2006 08:20

yeah you should really spin a lot more, the spin comes from the hips.

- set your infinity as you usually would
- rotate your shoulders towards the bag (the direction you're going to spin in)
- just as soon as your setting leg is dexing the bag that's when you
- crank your hips in one big go and spin around to gyro toe (and that rhymes too).

there really is quite a spin in this move. If you don't spin enough it can end up looking like a weird same side leg-over type of move.

I think of wauxpin as an atomic toast. What is toast? I can best explain with a comparison: Toast is to gyro toe as osis is to gyro clipper. With gyro toe and gyro clipper you spot the bag before and after the spin and then delay. With toast and osis you only really spot the bag before the spin. The next time you see the bag it should already be on your foot (or very nearly). Also: If you slop an osis it's a pulled osis. If you slop a toast it's a rake.

Sometimes I like to say:

"Break out the jam! It's time to make TOAST!"
