Lon's footbag record list

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 29 Mar 2009 14:55

I work as a data analyst and it took me about 2 minutes to do the search while I was in the middle of running an export at work.

Given that the records are a kept on a wiki that anybody could update - assuming people are using the .org list these days like has been suggested numerous times, then Honza could just as easily have updated the records himself, had he chosen to.

still, why? what do you gain from trying to make someone else look like an idiot?

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 30 Mar 2009 17:29

What does he gain by complaining about something he had complete control to fix himself? People in footbag need to take personal responsibility for the things they want to see happen, not blame other people for not doing anything.

If I want that change in behaviour to occur, what can I do about it, apart from bringing up the fact that their complaining about something when they have the power to solve the issue themselves? If I fix the problem for them, that obviously makes the issue of personal responsibility worse.

I would rather be disliked by people I've never met and try and do something about this issue, then pretend it doesn't exist and be less confrontational, and I learnt a few years ago that the only way to get footbaggers to respond with real actions to anything is by being confrontational. If you can think of another way to do it, don't tell me - show me.

whatever.

So, will there be now a movement as Johnny and Jeremy suggested that we post on Footbag.org's Wiki? Then this topic would never be updated?

Anyway, I fixed a typo and added my own record to the wiki.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 02 Apr 2009 19:59

Given there is no motion record on either Lon's site or .org, I have update my record as the world record on footbag.org, and now pronounce myself as the best motioner in footbag history ever. No doubt nobody is capable of beating my massive record of 2.

On a related note, having a look at the record list, it looks to me like it would be great if somebody, or maybe even a few people, could volunteer to be admins of the list and transfer records across, keep things up to date, check on verification etc. I am definitely not the person to do this, but it would be great.

If somebody is prepared to do it then I'd be happy to help out when I can. In particular I'd like to significantly re-work the list so that it makes more sense. If some people volunteer then I'm going to go ahead with that the weekend after this one.

In particular I'm going to get rid of all the set lists etc so that it's only records. I will review the combo records. I will also change the list so that it reads like this;

Technical move name | nickname (only 1) | Job's notation (if applicable) | Record number | Record Holder | Date of setting record (if available) | Video Verification Link (if available).

It might be a good idea to even have a separate list of just records that have been verified by video as although I trust everybody, I think it's an issue of credibility - most world records are probably not the actual highest/biggest whatever thing that people have done, but the best score performed in a verifiable environment in public. Indeed many world records are rehearsed countless times in private before being publicly performed. I think that's a good culture to promote. Of course people can still post their best ever scores etc. and those scores are no less worthy - I just like the idea of a separate list of just records that would be accepted by Guinness etc.

Also King of Kong is pretty much the greatest documentary ever.

edit; Probably email me if you're able to volunteer. Don't bother if you can't make a firm commitment though. I'd rather nobody than people who are unreliable. - beast9 at gmail dot com.

I did 17 ripped warriors but I don't have video. Sorry. Three newbs saw me do it though and they said it was awesome.

I updated page 39.

Sorry It's been so long.

I still play.

Quantums sure are life changing.

I'm excited about the Nucleus's (Nuclei) too.

Thanks for all the records.

I'll be updating more soon.

ShredOnLawn · Post by **ShredOnLawn** » 31 Aug 2009 20:32

I updated page 40.

Thanks again.

ShredOnLawn · Post by **ShredOnLawn** » 06 Sep 2009 16:01

The following records are not clear enough for me.

Fairy (ss Illusion) - 56

Ducking Illusion - 17

Ducking Mirage - 34

Pixie ss Illusion - 19

Pixie ss Mirage - 49

Tapping Pickup - 19

Slapping Mirage - 13

Weaving Illusion - 4

Blurry Clipper - 40

Skull Smasher - 4

Weaving Mirage 15

Please specify by:
Ending on the Same Foot,
or,
Ending on the Opposite Foot.

Only the first mirage would be weaving and would not count because weaving is set from clipper stall.

I don't know what Skull Smasher is. But it sounds pleasant looking.

Great records though. I will have to get 100 spinning osis right now.

Thanks,
Lon Skyler; Smith

This is how I read this list- although it may not be the intended use of the original record holder. It's written in quite a standard form so I doubt I'm getting these wrong...

Fairy (ss Illusion) - 56 (op foot - not a double dex- just illusion)
Ducking Illusion - 17 (same foot)
Ducking Mirage - 34 (same foot)
Pixie ss Illusion - 19 (op foot)
Pixie ss Mirage - 49 (op foot)
Tapping Pickup - 19 (op foot)
Slapping Mirage - 13 (same foot)
Weaving Illusion - 4 (op foot - weaving doesn't imply clipper set - this is just ducking ss illusion which can be done from clipper or toe.)
Blurry Clipper - 40 (op foot)
Skull Smasher - 4 (op foot- Atomic Ducking Mirage)
Weaving Mirage 15 (op foot)

Page 41 is updated.

Except Byrin Wylie had a bunch of records that are not clear enough.

Fairy (ss Illusion) - 56
Illusion - 68
Ducking Illusion - 17
Ducking Mirage - 34
Pixie ss Illusion - 19
Pixie ss Mirage - 49
Weaving Illusion - 4
Blurry Clipper - 40
Ducking Pickup x 26
Diving Legover x 11
Weaving Mirage x 15
Ducking Legover x 34
Diving Pickup x 17

I know they are obvious but I don't want to assume.

If Byrin can just copy the list and reply with OF or SF after each record then I will know if the stall ends on the same foot as the trick started on or the opposite foot as it started on.

Great records. I understand them all but I don't want to be wrong and write over someone elses world record.

Serious business here.

TWIRLS
In-Out(no one does these) and swirling osis would not be the same.

Out-In(normal twirl) 9 is great Byrin but I have 12 posted on the records list under Reverse Twirl Opposite Foot Out-In.

I have set the In-Out Twirl record as 2 to start it up.
I started the trick Gyro Reverse Whirl Opposite Foot at 5.
I got 75 Spinning Osis. It was funny though on my first try I got 38(the record was 39). Then I got 45 2nd try. Today was different though. Much better.

Enjoy the different shoes everyone.

Page 42 updated. It took only 45 minutes.

Byrin Wylie again with amazing records.

Below Not Clear Enough.

86 Illusions

4 Toe ss Symposium Reverse Up ?
I guess that's an uptime Flail?

27 DLO Opposite Foot?

ss DLO x 20

Pixie ss Illusion x 28

Pixie ss Egg x 9

Predator x 4
What is predator?

Blade Runner x 4
What is blade runner?
(I finally saw that movie just 2 weeks ago.) Not so good.

Thanks everyone. I really enjoyed the toe stall wars.

Bladerunner is my favorite movie. SO GOOD. #114/250 top best films ever according to imdb. Just saying

ss DLO x 20

Pixie ss Egg x 9

ss= same side. So ss DLO is same side DLO, like every time you do it it ends on the opposite toe. Pixie ss illusion would be like toe-same in-same out-opp toe, where one leg does all the work. So all the above records alternate toes throughout. Clearer now?

.

Predator is atomic dlo (like atom smasher with an extra legover) and blade runner is atomic egg (like omellette with an extra legover).

Oh, and sick records Byrin!

I think it's pretty awesome that as of yesterday, Scott Davidson has shredded 1,000 days in a row. Not sure if that counts as a record here, but definitely worth noting.
