sorry, but it was quite thin. the, I think.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 10 Jul 2007 16:17

ahhh, i dunno, im really not good at naming tricks.

MatS21 · Post by **MatS21** » 10 Jul 2007 18:34

yeah voodoo is paradox, this is something like near merlin I think but it doesn't looks clean to me sorry to say so.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 10 Jul 2007 18:41

good attempt though right? i mean...i have the form right and everything, i just gotta dex deeper? correct?

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 10 Jul 2007 18:49

just a cool screen shot

Yeah, I can't do this move yet but I only tried it like 20 times. And I been told they we're REAL deep and I feel it, I feel like I'm dexing it like upper calf. Look at Jorden doing them I think he's one of the rare player doing them such good. To be good you need to learn from the best I guess so watch his carefully.

Few advices I think could help ( but as I told you I haven't hit the trick so this is all guess so read them, try them and remember them but don't take this as everything) would be to try dexing more in front of you, like in the center of your body. And I've often been told the second dex should be more leggy but I think it should still be less leggy than most illusion, somewhere between like mirage and illusion. It's really hard to explain, look at Jorden's Merlin and it should say everything

yea thanks for the tip. i can feel when they are right and wrong and the one on the video i didnt get that feeling but i thought i had hit it so i took it anyway. i must have made more than 100 attempts but they are actually (surprisingly) becoming more fluent. the only reason i took so many attempts is because i have been wanting to hit this for so long and i finally noticed i can come close to it so i basically spent 1 hour and 15 minutes doing this move over and over again until i hit it. the first time i did it was much much deeper but i looked at my video camera and it said 'this tape has reached the end, please insert a new tape'. that was almost enough to bring me to tears. but about 5 minutes after that i finally caught what i thought to be it, on video. i'm sure i will get a clean one some time soon. i will use my video camera at all time just in case.

It kind of looks like you're being sucked into a black hole like Rasputin in the Hellboy movie. You look very distraught.

ben, we don't start playing til 6 or 7. maybe next week...

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 11 Jul 2007 09:08

yea, next week if im still on workers comp.

i actually might be able to convince her to just let me pick her up from the train station then drop her off, have pat pick me up and go to buffalo. it might be possible because i know she felt bad that i couldnt go footbag.

2nd dex = the

the idea of the move ISNT to dex with your foot. you wanna dex with your calf

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 11 Jul 2007 10:54

im aware. but some people (not you) dont understand how incredibly more difficult it is to say that than to actually do it.

whatever, its still the

looks thin to me, but its hard to tell. It definitely looks better than your first attempt. get closer to the camera when you're trying tricks like that, cause even with slo-mo you cant tell when you're so far away.

You're just jumping up on the second dex, I seriously doubt you're actually going around it.

Push it out more at the top of the jump and you should go around it.

Henry's right.
