qlunch · Post by **qlunch** » 19 May 2004 12:29

ok today i hit CLIP > SAME IN [PDX] [DEX] > SAME TOE [DEL]
and was really excited came inside went to footbag.org and couldn't find it... what is it? i assumed it was a paradox pickup but i was wondering if someone could confirm this or correct me, Thanks

This was one of the most debated tricks in the early days (more specifically "paradox" guay). The verdict came out that it does not get paradox. It is just a far pickup.

Hi Mike

can you remember the reasons why it doesn't get the pdx add? I'm just curious about that

prob some reason like ' it doesnt feel like it'

No.. It isn't Clip > (Same Full Dex) > (Op Side Component) ...

And it feels like paradox

Yo Gauntlet !
Check out Ellis Piltz website flipsider.com, he's explaining all
the technical stuff there...by common definition, the thing you hit
would be a far pick up. Far means pseudo paradox, like "symple"
means pseudo symoposium...man, you can imagine my facial
expression when i learned that my first 3 consecutive " paradox"
legovers were actually pseudo...

arg, this was the first "3" add trick I hit too, but I was dissapointed when I found that it was only 2. This move also gave me trouble because I thought that if I just caught it on the other toe (CLIP > SAME IN [PDX] [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL]) it would be paradox mirage which is supposed to be pretty easy. Unfortunatly for me I was drilling paradox illusion the whole time

... it was cool that I ended up learning a harder trick though...

Try to hit butterfly. im a noob and that trick was pretty easy and then once you can do that you can attemt it after a pixe set or a dive/duck and brag about your first 4 add.

But really what im focusing on is becoming a solid Tiltless. Its always more impresive to see a long smooth run instead of 3 big add tricks and then a drop.
