I thought he wanted a move other than a basic stall OR a two-add move...
Yeh that was pretty much what I ment, I just didn't want people stating the obviouse that a toe stall was their first move... should have stated it better, but I can now remember that I did a forehead delay, that's only one point though. It suprises me that people would learn pickup or any tricks that involve Dex's before a simple ATW... guess it shouldn't though, because it seems a lot of people do...

But an ATW involves a dex... In fact, I may have learned Pixie before ATW. I can't remember now.

yeh I know but for me I learned ATW before I knew what a dex was so basicly I sort of think of an ATW = a dex, so to me a pixie is an ATW but there is another element involved, the switching of the feet... I don't know just seems strange to me to be able to dex and switch feet before being able to just dex...

I don't get it. Both pickups and ATW involve dexs.

I think he kinda cleared it up in the post right before your's... it kinda makes sense to me now.

well let me try to explain again...
For me when I first did an ATW the dexing speed was the hard thing to get since my leg wasn't used to it. In a pixie you have to switch feet as well as perform the dex, so when ever I tried it I couldn't dex fast enough to have time to switch feet and stall at the end, the footbag always ended up hitting the ground before I could switch feet. I could do an ATW because I didn't need to switch feet therfore I had more time to dex...
hope that makes more sense...
