Which move?

Post by Muffinman »

I was just walking home and missing footbag lots. You know when you feel like you really need to play (especially when you can't right at that moment) and there is this one move that you just HAVE to hit? Not necessarily even a big move. You know? Paradox whirl is usually mine. I realized this thinking back to my last job and always pretending to hit paradox whirls waiting for work to end. At work now I'm injured and sometimes pretend to do paradons, but it's not the same. Paradox whirl is an itch I need to scratch.

What move do you feel you need to hit, most commonly, when you can't play?

Around the World is a trick I always like to hit. Even if i dont have a footbag i usually find a rock, stick, etc. and try hitting it with that.

Anytime I 'air shred' or pretend to hit a move it's usually pdx drifter, drifter, torque and barfly.

Evidently my air shredding runs are WAYYYYY better than my regular ones. Who wants to guilt in an air shred when they can hit 30 contacts with a bunch of unique 4's? ;)

ducking clipper, I can do that with anything (if I dont have a bag). I used my wallet, a rock, and baseball hat once.

Spinning Clipper here too. When I haven't been able to play for a while I jones to hit Osis > Infinity > Spinning Clipper > repeat. Simple, smooth, satisfying...

One other thing I'll do is just dex. Like I won't even do a move that's possible. I'll pretned to set, then proceed to move my legs in eggbeater fashion, until I've done about 10 dexs. Then I'll pretend to do a toe stall. Pretty silly really. :P


Or when I walk up stairs I'll pretend to be doing street moves. I'll do a combo like Barfly>Ducking Torque>Barfly. Ducking torques are hard to pretend to hit on stairs! :lol:

Oh yeah, I'll also hit fake Blenders when I'm justing walking around the house.

Oh yeah, I was doing blenders a lot today!!!! Probably because it's that one move I can't hit and I love it so much!!
