List of Quad dexes and videos (updated with YT)

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 16 Nov 2008 08:12

The other day I was wondering how many quad dex tricks have been hit. I thought it would be fun and interesting to try and put together a list. I think it would be particularly cool if we could find/post a youtube video for every one of these. I know I'd love to be able to see a bunch of quad dexes all in one place. A little history could also be a nice add to this project.

Due to the large number of tricks I anticipate, I'm going to reorganize this list based on sets (I am unaware of any downtime quad dexes).
This thread is NOT a place to speculate about what quads are possible. Please don't clutter this thread with that discussion.

Entries will have the following rough format: trick name, technical name, year it was hit, hopefully a video, and maybe a short list of people who were the first to hit it.

Pixie quad dexes

OK, here's my first crack at the list:

1. Pixie flurry (barefoot), 1999?, Windsen Pan (YT vid coming). I remember back in 99 when people were still using the email lists, that some unknown kid that nobody had met posted he hit pixie flurry barefoot. His only eye witness was his mom. Nobody believed him. Years later, I saw video of him hitting it, and it made me think that he very possibly was the first to hit a quad. I think the reason people were so skeptical back then wasn't just that it was some unknown kid hitting a quad, but the fact that it was such a hard and unlikely quad.
Pan barefoot: 40 second mark of this video
Clavens barefoot: 2:22 second mark of this video

Ricky Moran hit this in shoes a while back, and may have been the first to do so.

2. Pixie paradon swirl. 2001? Sunil. Masselis: 3 in a row!

3. Pixie dolomite swirl. 2003 or 2004. Vasek. 3:50 mark of this video

4. Pixie mofly.

5. Pixie chainsaw massacre. Did Josh Gayhart invent this? I know Kevin Regamey can hit this barefoot easily.

6. Pixie dod swirl. Digges: 3:58 second mark of this video

7. Pixie armageddon. Gayhart.

8. Volcano, Cod. Pixie miraging symp miraging legover.

Shooting quad dexes

1. Shooting star, shooting down double, 2000, Red Husted. This was the first official quad dex hit. It was funny too, because at the time Red was coming off one of his long sabbaticals away from the sport. Jon Schneider named the trick, and probably can tell a good story about it. This trick was first caught on video in California Connection.

2. Shooting ss dlo. Sunil's first quad dex.

3. Shooting opp DLO. 2001, Eric Wulff. I remember people questioning whether Red or Wulff's shoots were clean, but still, these were counted as quads back then.

4. Pornstar: shooting barfly. 2002. Ahren. This trick is in the beginning of Dan Klokow's vid, Time 2 Jam. It was funny because Ahren hit it clean, but in the video he shakes his head because he didn't think it was.

5. Redwetter: shooting same egg. Red. 2003? It's on Fourkast apparently.

Furious quads

1. Nemesis, 2001, Sunil. I think I'll write a whole post on this trick later. Digges: 1:23 second mark of this video

2. Archnemesis, barraging ss down double, 2002. Sunil. Willie Digges hit a good one on YT. Digges: Oh Snap.

Digges: 3:28 second mark of this video

3. Clownface, barraging pdx egg 2002. Sunil. Kenzo: 3:20 second mark of this video. Olav: 1:00 second mark of this video

4. Nebula, barraging pdlo, sunil.

5. Tsunami, janiwalker swirl, Sunil, 2002. Apparently Sunil hit this on both sides during the "Shred with Sunil" session with the Czechs.

6. Barraging ss butterfly swirl. Crook, Digges. Digges: 2:00 mark of this video

7. Furious Merlin. Jorden.
1:00 mark of this video

8. Furious motion. Jorden, Dave.

9. Barraging ss egg. 2006/7 I saw Clavens and Digges hit this at Cornell Footbag Jam 2.

10. Backside clownface, walrus, Sunil, Vasek.

11. Backside nebula, Vasek. He does it like a whirring psdlo.

12. Backside nemesis.

13. Furious pdx barrage. Willie Digges hit a clean one on the last Cornell Jam video. I know Vasek hit this thin in like 2004.

14. Triaging legover. Apparently Sunil invented this around 02, and Penske says he's hit it. I'd love to see video of this if anybody has it.

Stepping quads:

1. Blurriest swirl, 2001? Sunil. I remember back in 99 Ahren was apparently really close to this, but by his admission he wasn't good at swirls. I think Ales hits this on NBK. Digges: 40 second mark of this video
Somolinos: Poor quality

2. Blurrier swirl. I hit this in January of 2004 on video. I think Eli still has it somewhere. At the time I asked if it was an invention, and somebody said Ales had probably hit it already. Vasek: In a string with blurriest swirl too
Vasek again: At the 3:10 mark

3. Blurry flurry. 2005, Vasek. Vasek hit a great one in Tuukka's Euros 06 video. Here's one from a bad angle, at the 3:37 mark.
I also hit one, slow-mo at the 2:25 mark in this video.

4. Blurry mofly. Justin Dale in 2004.

5. Blurry superfly swirl. Ales and Jorden, apparently invented around 02/03

6. Stepping ss mofly. The Finnish guy who invented Mofly.

Frantic quads
1. Frantic ss egg

2. Frantic DODSomolinos: 7:15 mark of this video

Sailing quads

1. Sailing ss dlo, aka fracture. Windsen Pan likely invented this, back in...2000?

2. Sailing ss egg. Kevin Regamey: Sailing ss dlo to sailing ss egg

3. Sailing DOD

4. Sailing ss da da.

5. Sailing opp dlo.

Atomic quad dexes

1. Fusion swirl, Vasek, 2007.

Phasing quads

1. Phasing DLO. Liam Johnston
2. Phasing rev up. Jorden?
3. Phasing gdlo: Vasek in 2004? Does that sound right to anybody else?
4. Phasing rev. swirling blender. Jorden.

Miscellaneous quads
1. Fusing legeater. Johnny Suderman.
2. Gyro nemesis. Jorden.
3. Symp furious matador. 2003. Sunil.

Ok, good start for now. I've also heard people claim stuff like triaging legover and symp barraging dso, but I'll let them claim that themselves. For now I want to limit the list to tricks I am reasonably certain have been hit and confirmed by video. I'll continue updating today. I will add Cods and continue finding vids for other ones.

Johnny Suderman hit fusing legeater. I don't know if it's on video, but that's my current favorite quad dex

Post by **Zac Miley** » 16 Nov 2008 12:11

both frantic double downs have been hit (pixie plasma and frantic ss double down). I don't think you have both of them?

Same with sailing.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 16 Nov 2008 14:01

Sailing ss egg. I'm pretty sure I saw a video of somebody hit it op side as well. Also possible with some symps involved.

Sailing symp double down.
Sailing ss barrage
sailing op barrage
shooting ss barrage
shooting op barrage
sailing op butterfly swirl
sailing ss butterfly swirl
sailing op da da

symp furious dlo

tapping mofly

symp furious nuclear mirage and butterfly

Also a couple from vasek;

pixie dolomite swirl
symp furious quantum butterfly

I think Ricky Moran or Justin Dale were the first to hit blurry mofly in 2004 or around that time.

Fusion Swirl - by Vasek at the very least, on Worlds 2007 'Vasek' circles video.

Swirling Janiwalker - Vasek, like 2 years ago.

Blurry Mofly sounds like a Justin Dale special to me.

Cod · Post by **Cod** » 16 Nov 2008 14:31

Frontside Nemesis, Vasek and many more
Nemesis Rake, Jim and many more
Nemosis, Barraging Far Motion, Jorden and many more
Furious Merlin, Jorden
Pixie Armageddon, Josh Gayhart
Sailing Symposium Eggbeater, Kuba Worek

Sailing Motion, Kuba Worek

Oh! And Gyro Nemesis by Jorden!!!

Unfortunately counting quads isn't that useful. There are simply too many to include. The "total" doesn't give an accurate or helpful representation of anything.

After making a short list, I've hit well over 40.

I'm sure Renato Zulli and myself did hit phasing revup.
Jorden did phasing rev swirl blender.
Phasing near DLO someone?

Cod · Post by **Cod** » 17 Nov 2008 00:36

Jorden, give us this list!

Gray Chadwick did pixie chainsaw at worlds 07

Tripp · Post by **Tripp** » 18 Nov 2008 07:05

Here is an old old old old junk video of me doing Pixie Chainsaw barefoot for the first time (I think?) back in (I believe) the summer of '04. Gawd, I wish I was that skinny again:

And here is Pixie Armageddon from the winter of '04-'05, though I first hit it in May earlier that year. I don't care for the last Legover, though:

Not sure what you mean by useful, but this thread does have cool quad dex tricks to watch.

Edit: props on hitting 40 quads! Holy shit...

Termobeater / Terraging Eggbeater by Krzystof SobÃ³tka

I like this thread.

Jorden does Blurry Double Nuclear Butterfly in the first huge tricks video.

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 18 Nov 2008 09:53

Cod: Thanks for posting your videos, and props on your unique quads. I will add a "railing quads" section to the first post when I get time.

Jeremy: Is that a list of quads you have hit? Do you have video for any/some of them? For tricks like shooting opp barrage (where it is easy to the both the set and the downtime) I'd really only like to list them if they have been caught on video cleanly. I bet you could hit a bunch of those on a digital camera in your next session and make a quick YT vid of it. Props on mastering sailing set enough to get so many quads out of it.

Jorden: I made this thread because I was curious about what Quads have been hit, and how many. I also thought it would be cool to collect video of as many quads as possible in one place. Has this thread been "useful" to me? Well, since I've started it I would say all the following are true:

1. I have a better sense of how many quads have been hit.
2. I've enjoyed watching a ton of footbag video of quad dexes (and hopefully others have too)
3. There is now a place where people can where people can easily watch a bunch of quads, and learn about quads that have been hit.

Is that "useful?" I don't know. But it's been fun, and I don't think it ever hurts for people to be curious about their sport, and to try and learn more about it.

On that note, props on making a list of your 40+ quad dexes. I've got 3 questions for you about it:
1. What's the most helpful (or "useful") thing you could do with that list?
2. What's the least helpful (or "useful") thing you could do with that list?
3. Which have you done so far?

Zac: Who has hit frantic paradon (pixie kiwi)? Is there video anywhere?

Ian P: I feel like I saw Johnny's fusing legeater on a YT video somewhere. Can somebody find the link for me, and tell me the time call?

Asmus: The third dex in termobeater is really "the" in that vid, which is why I'm not including it in the list.

On a similar note, I am avoiding posting tricks that haven't been caught on video, or that have only been hit "the" on video. What are people's opinions of tricks which have been hit, but by their very nature are impossible to get 4 clean dexes out of? I am specifically thinking of tricks where the final butterfly is essentially a refraction, such as Vasek's symp furious ripwalk (on the FFO 04 vid) or Jorden's blurry janiwalker at 05 worlds. Should those go in?

Post by **Zac Miley** » 18 Nov 2008 11:30

I meant that frantic paradon (pixie plasma) and pixie quantum ss double down (like pixie slapping) had both been hit (by me at least). Not sure what kiwi is, sorry.

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 18 Nov 2008 11:54

Kiwi is atomic paradon. I made a mistake in my last post about that. But yeah, frantic paradon is very cool. It sounds a lot harder than frantic dod. Do you have video of yourself hitting it anywhere? I'm leaning against including quads that haven't been hit on video.
