Double symp?

So I had a vision! LOL as anyone ever hit a move that had 2 symp tricks? I think I'm going to try it. I'll put it on video if I hit one.

Many have ben hit. Symp atomic>symp something is probably the most common.

So much for a vision! What about symp pixie>symp mirage?

Symp pixie is impossible (well, not technically, but I don't think anyone has done it).

A few have done full symp toe blur

Has anyone invented the search function yet? Oh man that would be a great and useful tool!

Jorden has done symp pixie stuff midrun in some videos. I also did symp pixie a bajillion years ago.

Chris Pinkus was hitting actual symp ATWs back in the day. Like, set, plant, dex, take the foot back off the floor, stall.

This symp pixie stuff. Are we talking an uptime set, or a peak/downtime dex more along the lines of a same side symp mirage? Also has anybody hit a second symp component after a symp pixie? I can't really think of how that could be done practically, although whenever I make these kinds of statements somebody shows me how. I guess in a kind of related manner, it would probably be possible (although obviously very difficult) to hit a symp miraging (including ss) miraging/illusioning flail. So like set>symp in>op in/out>symp out>op toe. Essentially a symp dlo with an extra flail at the end. However my imagining of this trick is that there wouldn't be a plant between the two symp dexes, and it would be somewhat similar to being just a weird swirling toe (if you hit very shallow symp dexes, or even missed them, it would probably just look like a swirling toe, since you'd need to get the non dexing symp foot a long way across and dex very leggy).

I'm a big fan of what I call "wrong" symp moves. Stuff like symposium (not symple) butterfly, atw, etc. Also stuff like stepping (but not pogo) same side symps. I can hit a few double symp moves, but all of them involve symp atomic or quantum sets (or with a pixie set at the start as well). A really cool double symp move that I think is definitely possible, and possibly already been hit (I know that a few years ago a few people were close) is double symp neutron smasher. Like atom bomb but with a spin between the dexes. Of course once you hit that you could add in an extra component or two, and make it double symp irish cream or cataclysm (dlo).

With many symp moves, the footwork is actually more simple than the non symp versions, so you have more time and they're actually technically easier, although require more strength. However with "wrong" symp moves, the footwork is inverted, and it's much more of a mindfuck. Often I find I just can't do the trick as soon as I think of it, unless I run through the footwork first - my muscle memory just won't allow it otherwise.

I think the term symp needs clarity.

If you mean 2 symposiums in 1 move. Of course! ie. pogo gig, symposium atomic symposium whirl

If you mean 2 symples in 1 move. Highly doubt it. To be symple you have to make contact after the symp dex, correct? Otherwise it would just be some really stylie dex followed by an actual symple dex.

If you mean 1 symposium and 1 symple. Yes. ie. pogo symp legover

I could be wrong though.
