Actually I think it was Peter Irish who named gyro drifter rake (vortex rake) snowflake. But I cuold be wrong, it's a pretty uncommon move. Props for hitting any drifter-xbod-rake trick, they're all hardcammel wrote:ive heard this called drake but im not sure thats really accepted. the paradox version is for sure named snowflake.Pyroman924 wrote:Not enough time to sift through and see if it has been asked already but Drifting Rake? Instead of ending in a clipper you rake it forward. Was just wondering if this had a nickname.

Drifter Crossbody Rake has been known as Drake by some, but Carol Wedemeyer called it Swerve, and I've never seen anybody use that trick as much or as well as Carol. In this case I'd tend to follow Carol's lead.
Swerve is similar to Jughandle: I would say their relationship is analoguous to the relationships between osis and gyro clipper, with Swerve being like the osis version, and Jughandle being the gyro clipper version. They are, like, almost the same move, with the difference coming down to the timing of the final contact: do you catch before you spin (Swerve) or do you catch after you spin (Jughandle). Does that make sense?

I believe you also catch the bag on the other side of the toe.
so a left leg dexing swerve is caught from the inside on the left foot stall and the jug handle would be caught from the right.
also swerve is a rake and jug is a stall, though I suppose it can be raked
I'd compair it to cross body rake and toast(gyro toe)

alright well I'm lost 
I thought Jughandle was a miraging inspinning toe done all downtime, like a torque bailed to op toe.
It's an insanely hard move that I've never hit despite many attempts.
Drake / Swerve is a lot easier than jughandle as it's a miraging ingyro toe.
Anyway that was my understanding

I haven't hit it... yet. 8 P I'm hoping too before March or April but I have to work the shit out of my flipside first. And yes it would be a cross-body rake. Example: Set> Right leg dex from in to out> crossbody rake the bag with right foot toe.

Oh, ok, sweet. Thanks for the reply!
Now if only I could do that same dex in the swirl position.. Oh well, I'm to new at the sport to be trying swirls yet anyway (I can only do basic stalls, clippers, mirages, illusions, and sometimes a butterfly)

The difference between jughandle and swerve is not analagous to the difference between gyro clipper and osis. The difference is analagous to the difference between rake and gyro toe. jughandle is miraging far gyro (or ingyro, same thing) toe, swerve is miraging far rake.
max, seems like you've got a little misunderstanding about what's what.
I remember the New Paltz Jam. Sunil and Peter were pounding beers every time Ryan Thomas hit jughandle.
EAST COAST!!
