NEW - http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/-11649

I named it NEW because there are basically just moves I think I invented (not really sure, but I did not see them anywhere before)
All of them are based on something between reverse twirl/reverse swivel and gyro whirl/gyro symposium whirl - I have been hitting these for couple months, but I did not really have time to make a video.
After hitting them for a while and watching them on video for a while I think it is neither twirl and nor gyro whirl, but it probably does not deserve to be judged as a new component, it is hard to say.....

I have hit all different variations of that, but I captured just the easiest ones because I am injured and I kicked just for couple minutes.
Also excuse the video size for that quality, I will try to make better file....

If you want you can also see the new version of my website with new photos and stuff - www.webslinger.cz

Really neat moves!

I can't attest to whether or not they are new but they certainly look sick man. Props.

Yeah It's not really a new component, it's somewhere between the two its just like a style thing, but it is really cool looking, props.

I don't think that you get enough credit for your game but you are one of the best players around and have been for years now. I just wanted you to know that you have my respect for being a top level player, keep pushing.

If its what i think it is, (i haven't watched the video) its like... a downtime gyro symp whirl? I remember about a year ago someone was hitting them. I think it was Tom Mosher and Derrick Ogden, and there was some sort of debate as to whether it was a gyro symp whirl or a rev swivel.

Well, it can't be gyro because the bag passes in front of the body, not behind the body. It looks more like ingyro rev twirl moves and ingyro rev swivel moves (the symp version)

They are pretty awesome moves. I, like many people, have hit far rev swivel but never expanded to these moves. Very cool and thanks for sharing them.

Yeah, Derrick Ogden from my club came up with this concept too, he was doing almost all of his as the symp version though.

Wicked innovations Honza!

I want to give these a try.

Super, really style tricks

PROPS!!
IMO the symp whirling swirling thingy and the ripsteining thingy looked like it was more of a SWIRL, and the others were more ingyro (symp.)whirls.
And i think that camera angle made those trick look a bit thin,maybe if the camera was in front of your body or on the back, anyway its really a pity that you have an injure, get well soon Honza.

Awesome tricks!!

I think its a rev twirl/ rev swivel.

I was hitting some of these tricks at the end of 06 right before New years Jam. The only ones I hit where the pixie rev swivel and the blurry rev swivel, I also hit tapping, atomic, and spinning and gyro, swivel.

The double swirl one is awesome, I wanted to hit it and name it Multiple Swirlosis.

Nice song, what is it?

I was not hitting these tricks, and thank you very much for posting.

i couldn't watch this till now and...
wow u reaaaaaalllllly make "NEW" look whirly. i think mine (and the one in tom's vid) look much more swirly, but we didn't put those fun sets in front of it either. maybe it has to do with the fact that your dex is more vertical and mine are more horizontle?

and the symposium whirling NEW was cool!! I've been trieing that but without planting the original plant foot. sooo like symple whirling NEW... no luck yet.

thanks for another great vid!

Brilliant! Man, if I would've thought of that, I would have made sure I was first to hit it. Seriously, I think that's awesome.

Cool stuff honza!

They all look like swirl based tricks to me.

Btw: I hit the ripsteining trick for the first time a couple of years ago, but I doubt I was the first.
Also I've heard that the the whirling swirl variation is very old too (many years).

The very first trick is my favorite variation (must try it next session). Props for your vid and all these amazing tricks Honza.

Does everyone think these are all clean? Yea they are cool but like, I don't think many of them are that deep. I feel like if a newb posted this video people would've jumped on him.

I'm sure it's hard, I just wonder why it looks funny to me.

Nice moves! That downtime part of the moves has been around over 10 years. i was hitting it in early 98, and I didn't know what to call it, when Tuan Vu said, "Oh, wow! I haven't seen that move in years! It's called Swivel." Accordingly, the far symp version is (the real) Swivel.

If you argue it's more behind the back than swirly, then i know what you are saying, but he's not fully turning then whirling; it's more half-way, which is exactly how I was doing Swivel way back when, and it didn't need a new name then, so...

And yes, it's really hard to clean.

Glad you like it...

but isn't swivel symposium reverse swirling?

Than I should be happy I hit all of them clean

david · Post by **david** » 19 Jun 2007 15:12
