Nice stuff. Your Illusions are looking pretty solid.

I'd like to see some long strings though?

this is all i managed to hit in a 30 minute session:

Clipper>Blur>Butterfly>SS Butterfly>Ducking Osis>SS Butterfly>Infinity>Infinity>Pdx Illusion>Clipper>Osis>Diving Clipper>Infinity>Ripwalk>Pdx Illusion>Drop

3>4>3>3>4>3>3>3>3>2>3>3>3>4>3>0

still pretty shitty, i want better.

I'd say more tilt. . for longer strings. How about some toe ducking?

its just so ugly, i don't think a 30 tilt string is a good string, it just doesnt work like that in my mind.

do ripwalk>ripwalk>blur

do ripped warrior>PS rev whirl> paradox dyno

5>5>5

step up

Flawed logic.

Tiltless isn't supposed to be pretty, it's just practice.

My friend Cody shares the same mindset, except instead of tiltless it's his flipside.

i think a string of 20 controlled tilt is more impressive than 3 hard moves in a row anyday, expecially for certain players, of course im more impressed by jim doing three hard tricks, but thats because i know hes mastered tilt.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 01 Oct 2007 05:30

i didnt say that 3 hard tricks are better than 20 tilt, i said 20 tilt is uglier than 3 hard tricks.

you have done flip ripped though right? start with that.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 01 Oct 2007 08:50

I just meant that it seems to me that you just wanted longer strings. I'm just saying that with your style you could make that string twice as long and just as flowy and sweet if you added a few staple tricks like far pickup/legover. People who set the bar high and hit things like ripped warrior bsos and ripwalk > blur > phoenix SOMETIMES miss the boat with other things and often go wanting of longer strings. And those who don't - well, they can't say they can sauce the warrior for a while. In my opinion, though, these people reach the same levels of play eventually anyway and so the debate is kind of awkward and separates people.

the fact that you play footbag with the intention of always improving and with that need to fill the ever expanding void of "I need to do THAT next" is good enough for any of us. Just keep rollin'. I'll be back in Syracuse in just over a month, if not sooner for random reasons.
