Somewhat new at this, got just a few small questions.

Ugh. Well, in my sense, reverse dex would mean couter-clock wise, becuase I'v enever seen someone do their normal dex counter-clock wise. But, whatever, I guess. What would you call a dex that's going ccw, or cw.

Ok, I'll just explain it one more time. Using as much detail as I possibly can.

I throw the footbag up in the air and clipper set it with my left foot. The footbag goes up in between my legs. The foot bag goes over my right leg, (that's once around now.) and then on the way down I continue to swing my right leg around it clock wise once more (that's twice around, a double dex. I did not set it again in between.), approximatley 6 inches from the ground, I scoop up the footbag with the outside of my right foot (the outside stall.), I then let the inertia take it up about 4 inches and then bring my leg around it clockwise. While bringing my foot back down towards the ground, I scoop it up into a rake. Now, if you can't decipher that, then you're fucking stupid. I may not know all these footbag terms and stuff, but if you can't understand that, then you are beyond help.

Sorry for all the confusion...

Now, from where I'm standing, that can't just becalled a clipper>DAWT outside>rake. Because there is one more dex inbetween my outside stall and the rake. So... ya.

Well, whatever, I've only been able to hit this trick once. I get really close to getting it, but I've only hit it the one time. (The dawt outside>rake thingy.) It was just one of those, you know, moments where you could do it blindfolded. You know what I mean? I was just, in the zone, and I havn't been in the zone for about a week now. And I probably wont' be in the zone for all summer because of Basic Taining. Where I won't have enough strength to read a book let alone practice footbag at the end of the day.

dude chill out! no need to call anyone stupid, or even suggest that they are for not being able to decipher your description.

I can tell you what you did.

You hit a clipper set same side double pickup ending on outside to an out-to-in around the world that you kinda scoop.

That's pretty stylish man. I would suggest attempting to understand jobs notation a little bit, since that's how we try to explain moves in footbag. Here's a link: http://www.footbag.org/faq/show?id=jobs-tutorial Good luck with it, it took me a while to get it. Anyways, cool trick. Maybe post it in "New Moves" or start up a footblog. Everyone likes reading up on everyone else's progress.

And if you find yourself getting angry while you're typing a post, a good idea is just to set it on preview and let it sit a while. A half hour later or something come back and decide if you really want to use such harsh language. This stuff doesn't go away-- one harsh slip-up can really coin you as an asshole for a long time.

im glad your excited about footbag but theres nothing wrong with learning things slowly. im still new to the sport i dont know all the names to things and i dont try. Its very agravating when people try to hard to fit in. Footbagers are some of the freindliest athletes you can find you dont need to impress us we will simply be impressed that you kick. so just relax do some research start watching tons of vids and start kicking with new people and maybe just keep to yourself until you really grasp everything.

and welcome to the boards
