It was the first site that pulled up on a Google search of Bruce Goodrich

.

ARGH

If only I got off work a bit sooner.

I also searched "Bruce Goodrich footbag" on google.
Nice job Brad.

Anyone up for round 3?

Well gee,maybe i should have checked the points page before posting. I was under the impression that this game went to 20, but I just saw that it's to 25. Also, I think I have 4 points(you get points for someone getting your question wrong, right?).
Anyway, rather than next round, next question.

Splint · Post by **Splint** » 18 Jun 2004 07:38

What is the correct name (fun name, not component name) for the following move:

toe > op out > op front > back spin > op clip

Bonus:
Who was the first person to hit it?

toe > op out > op front > back spin > op clip

toe > op out > op front ??

did you mean op in/out or front spin or something else?

Ya, I don't understand the "op front" part of your Notation.

Fuego · Post by **Fuego** » 18 Jun 2004 08:14

I'm fairly certain he's talking about op front as in a rev swirling dex, so the trick would be atomic twirl, I'm gonna have to do some diggin to find the cool name though. I think I know who invented it though.

Splint · Post by **Splint** » 18 Jun 2004 08:38

Yes, it's front to back dexterity, denoting a reverse swirl

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 18 Jun 2004 08:43

I think I know the move, but I don't know a "fun" name for it.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 18 Jun 2004 08:45

I actually think he's talking about tapping twirl.

If so then my guess is "Tap Water" first hit by Scott Davidson. However I also note that Brad wanted to call it "Tapioca" and it seems a little unclear as to who hit it first...

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 18 Jun 2004 08:59

I was thinking butterfly twirl.

Splint · Post by **Splint** » 18 Jun 2004 09:13

Jeremy is correct with "Tap Water", but incorrect with Scott D.

Scott hit the clipper set version which was after I had hit the toe set version.

Your Question Jeremy.

Sorry I'm changing my question. Hope people don't mind.

My question is this: What did Ellis Piltz want to name what we now call "fearless"?

Bonus point - He also listed a 26 move fearless combo that he wanted to hit. What was the 27th "move"

Edit: Ellis isn't allowed to answer this question - sorry

I think that for every day that goes past where nobody takes a guess I should get a point.

I'm currently on about 2 points I think so I need to catch up somehow

I don't.

This lets people take their time and guess logically.

Dude, even if I could, I don't have a freakin clue, nor for the bonus question.

How long ago was this??

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 20 Jun 2004 21:45

Sometime during 1998 - well before I started playing footbag.

Flipsider · Post by **Flipsider** » 20 Jun 2004 22:06

Dude, I just found that post!!! Pretty funny to read over my emails from six years ago.

Just that one post says a lot about where footbag was in 1998 and how far it has come, in more than one sense. Thanks for the memories, Jeremy.

EDIT: I shouldn't have asked what year. That just made it too easy.

Quantum, and heart attack

and that email for those that don't have time to delve into the depths of the list archives:

Wed, 18 Nov 1998 11:26:07 -0800 (PST)

Quadless, huh? I've always thought "Quantum" would be a good term for
this. In reality, I don't think this will ever be truly achievable.
You might see some people able to do 10 5's in a row someday, but
there just aren't enough 5's out there for someone to claim quadless.
Just imagine: you'd have to turn blurs into blurrage or fog or blurry
drifter, legbeaters into fusion or atomic whirl, ripwalks into
blurriest or blurry whirl, spinning butterfly into scorpion tail or
spinning butterfly swirl/whirling swirl, ducking butterfly into
ducking barfly/pdox whirl, etc.etc.etc. Not only that but you'd have
to pull them into more 5's, EVERYTIME YOU GET THE BAG!

As for MY quantum combo of the future:
blurry drifter, pdox legbeater, blurry whirl, blurrier, blurriest,
mobius, pdox torque, barroque, pdox symp whirl, symp whirling swirl,
blurry whirl, scorpion tail, gyro symposium whirl, whirlwind, pdox
symp whirl, double blender, stepping blender, pdox torque, ripwarrior,
ducking barfly, ducking pdox whirl, symp whirling swirl, big apple,
blurrage, fusion, big apple sauce, heart attack.

even 6 years on that's a scary combo, big apple>blurrage>fusion that's a solid sick 3 ...

I'll have to do some thinking on my question, watch this space

EDIT: just making clear what was the email and what was me

Nice work Richard!
