What the hell is Alpine Rubberman?
I *think* this belongs here.

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 05 May 2008 06:32

First, a brief explanation of Alpine. The name alpine is added to any trick that has a duck in between an uptime and a downtime component.

Rubberman = Atomsmasher>legbeater>Blur>Rpt

Alpine Rubberman = Alpine Atomsmasher>Alpine Legbeater>Alpine Blur>Rpt

So basically, Alpine Rubberman is the same thing as regular Rubberman. The only difference is that you add ducking right after the set. Another way to show it would be like this

Atomic Ducking Mirage>Atomic Ducking Butterfly>Stepping Ducking Pdx Mirage>Rpt

Hope that cleared and doubts.

(EDIT) Fixed spelling error

Thanks! I see why they call it "rubberman".

do either a ducking pdx mirage/illusion have a nickname?

how about ducking far legovers/pickups?

Nope.

Ducking flail is a step closer.

What would this be considered? I'm wondering if its just a normal rake or if there's a dex in there that counts. i think there is cause my foot goes around the bag to grab it but i could a be a person with crazy eyes

ducking paradox illusion?

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 13 May 2008 14:48

It's hard to tell from the quality and not being able to slow it down, but it looks to me like it's just a crossbody rake (with a fancy foot flail). A rake used to be considered a dex, but it isn't anymore.

Are you serious? You JUST asked that.

john, it's not a rake, it's a gyro toe.

see the way it falls past the "outside" surface of your foot before you do the toe catch? crossbody rake falls past the "inside" surface of your foot before you do the toe catch.

nice move!

alright cool, thanks for the clarification. So, another question. Is gyro indicitive of being set from a clipper? If so, if i did the same move set from a toe, would it just be a spinning toe?

mc · Post by mc » 13 May 2008 17:53

if you set from near clipper (like you did) that is gyro toe.

if you set from toe and catch with the opposite toe, that is gyro toe.

if you set from toe in front of your body and catch with the same toe, that is ingyro toe.

if you set from far clipper, that is ingyro toe.

alright cool, much appreciated. i understand everything a lot better now

Miraging Flail is Creature, or so I heard at NYJ.

Hey guys =)

Two days ago a new concept (new for me) for a trick came up my mind.
I was thinking about the Pendulum Transfer and if I can hit a trick out of a Pendulum with the bag not going over my head again.
I wanted to put a movement similar to a torque after that "set". But as I started to try it I realised that a real torque is too hard for me these days.

So here is the result...I just wanted to get another opinion about this one.
I have hit it 3 or 4 times now and still don't know what I am actually doing...this is my best try so far:

Sorry for the bad light...My father was working in the garden so I had to go into the garage...I'll give it some other tries the next days.

My spinning is not very good so far...in either direction. But it was fun ^^

Thanks for your comments, Simon

It looks like a pendulum set far miraging refraction.

Definitely cool.
