You liked reverse swirl toe? Now it's time for Bent

Post by ianek »

I know i’m not the first one the hit that move. I just want/try to show what we can do with it.

I would describe that move as:
Leggy miraging muted butterfly done at the same time.

For the moment i simply call it “Bentâ€

i like this one. but i wouldnt call the butterfly muted cuz its one move and you plant the foot sometimes. we shud give it a name. do you suggest bent as name? great you did this, its inspiring, you make me having to try this! :)

this musics cool! can you do this backwards? as a set like stepping? or would it just be barraging?

Looks kinda like a reverse whirl but with the "dex" done with the knee on the outside... The funny thing about this move is there is actualy no dex at all, right??
Tsaingkun does this move a lot, its in one of Aaron O's films, except his exectution looks slightly different.

EDIT: heres the link to Aaron's san diego jam from last summer. Its a big download(worth it in my book :wink: ) but at 6:16 CK has a run with a bunch of this move, its the same thing right???

There's definately a dex there. The hip moves over the bag. As a set from clip though (bubba set?), I think the general consensus was there's no dex (Jorden hit something similar circa... 2003?)

Looks like a symp butterfly with the knee bent out away from the body on the dex. I like to do my symp butters "bent" style. I see it as like supafly, but without the second dex.

Wow, this trick is so cool, Ianek! It looks so much like a double down!
I love the music too!! I saw Stratovarius in concert a couple months ago! (I think they closed with Hunting High and Low!) I love this song!

there is no dex. you can see that in 1min10 sec in spinning ducking "bent". it's just spinning ducking clipper.

ianek, hit symp miraging ss butterfly (it's very similar to your "trick" but there are two dexes)

I think it looks kinda cool. Seems to me like its just a butterfly with your leg bent differently(correct me if im wrong). But i like your style a lot! Thanks for the vid.

its not butterfly with your leg bent, the bag goes in front of the leg, not behind. therefor...no dex.

Loved it Ianek. awesome style. Ive played around with something extremely similar... but yours looks way cooler! Dont listen to the haters... who cares if you call it a dex or not, a rose by any other name...

Why do everybody say what they think it looks like?
I think it looks like a hopover done before the bag lands on the foot.
It looks cool. I like it.
Your BS'ness is AWESOME!

For the same reason non-footbaggers tend to ask us if we play soccer.

i think we can see it as a dex in the way it's a "leggy mirage/non-crossbody swirl" dex into a butterfly. But i wouldn't count the butterfly dex(so 1 dex only). And it can obviously be "the". Like Setman said, the spinning ducking bent was just a spin duck clipper.

But i'm not there to prove it's a dex, i don't really care. It's just a cool footbag freestyle movement. :D

i already picture bent as miraging ss butterfly, but i can probably split the mirage more from the butterfly. It would be 2 dexes, but not really deep dexes though. Kind of like pixie-fairy set, zigzag, etc.
