Flexibility [FLX] Adds?

Post by Jorden »

Hello.
Lately I've been thinking that certain stalls that require a lot of flexibility shoud get a flexibility add [FLX]. Here is a list of stalls that I think should receive it:

- dragon
- doof stall
- anchor
- inside sole (caught in front of your body)
- monster
- frigidosis

...also a flying knee clipper should get this as well. It's ridiculous how frigidosis and the doof stall only get 1 add.

Note: maybe poor Jon Schneider might finally win a Sick 3. LOL! :lol:

normally i hate adds and think this kind of thing is lame. In this case I think you have a really good idea. I'm with Chris though, I would never do them. But yes, I'm down with the FLX add.

A monster is basically a frigidosis wrapped around the supporting leg. You should know by now that I'm always ready for sick shred :lol: . We'll have to arrange something the day you get back cuz the 30th is when I'm going to Funtastik.

I agree, theres no way that a doof is only a 1 add, or 2 adds for a dragon.
I mean, just think about flipwalk versus ripwalk...

Another possibillity could be a BOD add for moves that require sick flexibility.

i dont think the add system should be used to determine difficulty.

But we need something to determine difficulty and Adds were created for that purpose, so were trying to salvage what we got.

I think its a good idea.

Yeah, I'm probably one of the only serious players in the world to have witnessed a doof delay or a doof-walkover or whatever, and I don't think it's something that is more "Difficult" per se. You can either do it or you can't.

I'm not sure that it makes sense for someone with fucked up joints to get more "difficulty points" than me. It's still the "Style vs. Adds" battle here. Doof and Dragon and Frigidosis are all about style. It's not something I'm going to worry about too much.

There should be like a footbag government that turns footbag concepts into laws.

I think it takes less flexibility to do a clipper than an inside delay (just because you need to crank your ankle less to do a clipper). I thought XBD was more of a balance add..kinda.

adds were not created to determine difficulty.
they are components of moves. so that we can tell a pixie from a pick up.
cross body delays don't get an add because it is more difficult to hit a clipper than a toe delay. it's just cross body.

if anything all of the flex moves should get an unusual add.

DAMN YOU DON"T ARGUE WITH ME!!!!!!

(CASTS LEVEL 3 SMITE OF THE DEMIGOD) (BIG EXPLOSION)

Did I previously say that they were created for difficulty? yes. Did you argue? Yes. Do you know what the fuck your talking about? Not really...

Ever seen Tricks of the Trade? "Toe Stall Difficulty: One ADD"

They aren't difficulty anymore, but that is what they were created for. The theory was adding something to your move made it harder. Next time instead of blantantly ignoring when someone tells you something, you might want to ask why they say that, but just countering what they say uninformed is Dumb.

And what do you know about me to blantantly ignore what I say? I don't know, but you think 1450+ posts that it says I have might indicate that I've been around the block a few times and would know what I'm talking about.

Sorry that was harsh, it just pissed me off, I'm better now, no negativity towards you in the future (after you get your side off your chest that is)[/b]

I'm kinda with ShredNJ on this one i think, im not gonna assume to know all about footbag history etc but it is exactly that- history. If ADDS were created to define Difficulty, and the system has now evolved into something different, then you cant really go and try and change it back, can you? I was always told and under the impression that, Adds defined the components of a trick in order to describe a move textually so that anyone reading it could understand the move without a visual demonstration.

We know that Adds dont describe difficulty, as the Frigidosis example highlights, so to try and create another Add component such as Flexibility is really just giving brownie-points to ppl who can do the moves (no disrespect obviously to anyone who does this stuff, i know its shit-hard! :) ) So then Dragon is just a cross-body unusual surface, so it gets 2 adds, and Doof is just Unusual surface, so its one add.

When u consider it, everyone knows how hard moves like doof or frigidosis are so u get props for hitting them anyway, so adds shouldnt really matter.

But of course this is MY OPINION which im entitled to as is everyone else so lets not start another Flaming match
