FIRST ADD 4!

Post by shredzilla »

FIRST 4!!! Actually it was dimwalk a couple days ago. But today I hit my first real 4, Torque! I never even thought I'd be going for it this soon, but I just had this sudden urge to look it up on Hackrifice. Got it like the 4th or 5th try! Man am I pumpeD!

Okay, so this doesn't sound like a footblog bragging post, what was your first 4? Or if you haven't hit one, what is one that you're going for or would love to hit?

I really like your attitude. My first four add was technically toe ss da da curve I think. My first genuine four add was probably dyno - I can't remember.

Technically mine was pixie butterfly, but it felt too easy for me to consider it. My real one was torque I guess. Ps mirage was my second. And that's all so far...I think?

In hindsight I'd probably say mine was "the" - at least most of the time :oops: - ie. slurred the last dex.

My first four was Symposium Double Leg-Over. I spent almost my whole first year of kicking doing just toe stuff before I got down to the serious business of learning clippers. I still remember spending late late nights under the lights of CU Boulder campus drilling drilling drilling clippers, all summer long, and eventually I guess it totally changed my game cause I never looked back and I've done way more cross-body stuff ever since, more-or-less, and hardly any good toe stuff now, but yeah, my first four was a toe-to-toe. Well, I suppose many of you now would probably call it Symposium Quantum Leg-Over. What ever.

isnt this a 3-add?

clip/toe > duck [bod] > op out [dex] > op clip kick [xbd]

is there a bod add for the kick or something?


mine was ripwalk, (see the last trick in the "in da club" section of Andrew Grant's GLASS video.) its that one.

butterfly kick is the same adds as butterfly, one is a stall [worth one add], the other is airbourne [worth one add], they both get 3 adds, if u duck either one, it gets another add.

Diving Butterfly

A friend of mine here in Brussels hit atomsmasher as his first 4. I think that's fairly rare (a bit like Jon's first 4)
