For a strictly graphic element, PS Whirl and Superfly are hard to beat.

Well i think Clipper Stall and Jester would be the most representative tricks for sure. Probably that is why they are on the logo of nearly every competitions logo...

Don't worry Matt, I'm with you on the PS whirl.

There is no other move that is better photographed. Yes it's true, all you youngsters are hitting em like it's no thang but it's still badass.

Ripped Warrior. Simple enough for non-players to understand, sick looking trick, and a badass name.

Corpse Grinder. Essential.

Sailing Drifter swirl (nickname?). Huge amount of different kinds of dexes all rolled into one flurry of talent... that move would be awsome.

Anything Whirl. PS Whirl and Montage especially.

Vortex.

Barfly or Superfly.

I think a lot of moves representative within footbag uses the clipper delay as a core function in footbag. People get a huge wow factor due to how tricks set from clipper are versatile and fully utilized in strings. So, moves such as PS Whirl, Montage and double downs are really cool imo.

And I'm with James Dean that whirl made me fall in love with footbag. :)

Anything same leg double dexing always has that wow factor that amazes people (scorpion's tail is still a dream move of mine). I think PS Whirl looks so cool when its done with a big jump so I have to agree with montage. As far as defining the sport goes, I would have to say tricks like flying clipper and sole stall are simple crowd pleasers that that represent what we do.

I would say Torque. Torque was the move that made me want to play footbag.

I was going to say atw too but then I realized that it's all too common a trick with soccer and all that. So it's a toss-up between clipper and the simple-to-comprehend torque.

I hate Torque.

I would say Ripwalk. It is so nice and fluid.
Looks the same when played backwards.
Also you pretty much don't see a video, routine, shred30 without it.

I would say Ripwalk for people to watch in a short video clip.
PS Whirl for a Photography.
And Spinning Ducking something or Triple ATW in real life.

I don't really hate Torque.
