I've hit butterfly a few times, but for some reason I haven't been able to hit it. Only the day I tried it I hit it, and since then, I couldn't. :?

Easietst tricks that still elude me:

Butterfly- I've landed it a few times but with such inconsistency it doesn't count

Osis- I have landed 2 on each side but I NEED MORE!!!!!

Pick-up- Only tried a handful of times, bag just rolled off my foot

Mirage- I thought Pixies / Fairies were Mirages (silly newb). I can do Faries but not Mirages yet

Consecutive alternating clippers- I have only managed 2. Sweet the day will be when three is breached.

50 inside stalls- I still work these to death but 40 is my highest total so far. The actual move is improved though.

Ducks- Haven't done one properly yet. They are actually really tricky but look too cool to ignore.

Spinning toe stall- I can kick the bag up after a spin but I need to work stalling.

That's about it really. Not many tricks in my bag yet but I'm working on it.

Before today (just remembered), BLURRY WHIRL was the easiest trick that kept failing me.

But, i have now hit it. So this post is meaningless.

I've never hit a whirl. Oh god, why can't I hit whirls? I've hit barflies, and I've even hit a couple of blenders, but no whirls. It's awful.

Over the years I've had loads of easy (for the time) moves I could not hit for the life of me.
One of the first to stump me was flail. I remember that WAY back on the beggining of this forum Erik Chan even posted a couple of vids real time as we were chatting on this forum. I asked him if he could do a flail, so he filmed one and posted it up. Then I asked him if he could pixie out of it, so he hit flail > magellan (iirc) and posted that up... only years later did I manage to hit this trick.

Then there were torques... I was always at least 2 seconds late for the delay, and just could not understand how to hit this move... I've only been doing them recently.

these days there are still some moves I can't really to grips with.. but most of them are hard.. I'd say quantums gave me hard time but now I can hit them from time to time :)

I should have hit PS whirls a long time ago. I have been working on them every session since 6 months ago, but have only footed it twice. Talk about some bull :cry:
