Haha, funny, I hit that same move first try- it was a UCSF Jam a few years ago (2001 maybe). Last week I hit Diving Drifter both sides first try. The coolest is when you hit 'bsos first try', meaning you've never tried a move on either side, then you bust it BSOS.

Today I think I hit pixie symp whirl first try. I'm not completely postive if I've hit it before or not. I suddenly remembered that combo I told Shredster (chris may) about that would be cool and hit the first two moves first attempt (bs symp blur>pixie symp whirl). I should have hit the ps whirl afterwards but my setting foot clipped my support foot as it came around for the plant and I bailed to the scrappiest osis ever! So I'm claiming that as a new world record - scrappiest osis ever... :D

the first time I hit mobius, i was shown some dude what footbag was and he was like "is there any move you can't hit" I said yeah and tried mobius and hit it...ooops! I proceded to try blurry torque and failed miserably.

You meant Blurry Symposium Mirage = Backside Blur = Beta Blur ?

I hit Shaft on my first attempt on my weakside. Actually, I think I hit Shaft on my third attempt on my strongside that very day. Strange how things like that work out.

I'm pretty sure these were all first go:

atomic ducking pickup
sidewalk swirl (then got it 2nd or 3rd try on my flipside)
phoenix (first move I tried after cutting the wings off my lavers years back)
flailing blender (I think?)
spinning pdx dlo (goodside - had tried flipside first with no luck)
EDIT: symp whirling op butterfly
There's a couple more I'm sure, but these are the good ones

Was messing around just now and hit Pixie Ducking Osis first try. My second five, I guess. It seems much easier than Phoenix.

Aren't those two worlds apart? I meen whoa, gyro mirage is just breaking the ice... and fusion is like mad in my book. Man.... I've never sealed a fusion, but I've done hundreds of gyro mirages, and you sealed first try flipside. Scary.


Oh yeah, about me.... Diving ss torque for move, and splicing for set.
