How many consecutive scorpions tail can you hit?

[jon]

has ricky hit double spinning scorpians tail yet? or inspinning? or double inspinning?

[Sergey]

That means Ellis was wrong, wasn't he?

[krawallier]

WTF? just call it whatever you want. in either case there won't be any confusion... everybody 'll know what you are talking about.

Nice try. I think it's a matter of interpretation. I agree that it's just a Double Down no matter where you set it from, and there's too many inconsistencies with name changes based on preceding sets. Let me break it down. We call Far Double Down "Barfly" and Near Double Down "Down Double Down", even if you've never thought of it like that. Everyone agrees that Spinning Paradox exists, which means the Spin switches the reference of Far/Near. Thus, Spinning Whirl is Spinning Far (Pdx) Whirl, and Scorpion Tail is Spinning Far Double Down, aka Spinning Barfly. Did I go too fast? Let it sink in. Change isn't always easy to accept, but it's usually for the best.

[Flipsider]

Scorpions tail = spinning down double over down. Bull whip = gyro barfly

The way I see it, Scorp is Spinning Double Down, and Bullwhip is Gyro Double Down. Why complicate things?

[Sergey]

Ellis, thanks for clear explanations.

NICE, this is consistent with my paradox theory, and most of my other wacked out ideas.
I think that when actually hitting the tricks it makes the most sense to use this method.

Frustrating thread!

Yup, that's the way most see it. All double down moves moves can just be called blank double down. Eg Fusion is atomic double down, Kiwi is tapping double down, sooperdooperfly is spinning symp double down. etc. Even bullwhip with a plant (not gyro) would be generally accepted as spinning same double down, no? There's no confusion this way. As soon as you say atomic paradon or spinning barfly for example, questions come up as to whether it's relative to the dex, set, or whatever.

Indeed, why complicate things?

[Johnny]

Omitted because I realized that I was wrong... again.

[StickyRicky]

ya I've hit inspinning scorpians tail a few times but damn you
mentioned double spinning scopians tail thats insane.

only six scorpians tails for me!!!!!!!
I want the record........but would'nt Vasek have more
by now.(is'nt the record 16?)

peace

[Jeremy]

Only SIX Dude! Good luck beating the record, but I bet Vasek will hold it for a while - I'm pretty sure it is 16. What about consecutive bullwhips.

I would call scorpions tail spinning barfly. It seems to be that everthing in footbag is either relative to the set being a toe or a clip and being farside or same side - the actual foot that the move is set off doesn't make much difference - except of course that it desides which side is far and which is same.

[Jeremy]

Example: A move lynton has hit (on demand for the first time and never hit again I don't think) is atomic spinning pdx mirage.
Jobs:
toe>op out>spin>same in>op toe
Jobs for tap
toe>op out>same in>op toe

The only difference between this move and a tap is the spin in the middle. But they are clearly completely different moves

[Senor Grommet]

WOW! ive wanted to hit this move for sooooo long, and i thought no-one had ever hit it! That is amazing SUUUUUUUPer props to him.

[Jorden]

Yay! Tried this today. 2 Scorp Tails for me!
