SET>(NO PLANT WHILE)OP OUT [BOD][DEX]>OP OUT [DEX]>SAME TOE [DEL]

Ive discovered two different techniques of doing this, which is best, and how should it be done. Please respond only if you can hit this trick! Ive only hit it a few times on the ground and many on the trampoline, but I dont think I have it schooled enough to give advice. Thanks :wink:

How solid is your flail?

This trick has a pretty big demand for precision, and therefore your set needs to be pretty much straight up and down. (in general, all tricks should be set as exactly up and down as possible anyway). So, that said, don't be afraid of letting your flail leg travel out in front of your other leg a bit. That way the first dex can be performed "above" where the delay is going to happen anyway, and you won't be caught trying to reach for it. I use the same thought process when it comes to regular eggbeaters.

If you can land your flails balanced, you'll be a lot more suited to trying to throw another dex in. If you've already mastered flail, just throw it slightly earlier, and slightly faster...just keep in mind it doesn't take that much. We're not talking "meantime flailing legover"...


Also, you may want to keep in mind ankle/foot positioning...I tend to perform my legovers "Sunil-style", that is, pointing my toe outwards to allow for a slightly bigger window. If you don't know what I mean by that, this might help:

Since it's pretty basic, I've got plenty of time to straighten out my foot for the delay, but for more advanced tricks like dlo, eggbeater, symp egg, symp dlo, doubleswitch, whatever, I straighten out my foot at the VERY end. (if you've got the video, the legover at the end of Vasek's blurry flurry has the same thing going on)

Any questions, let me know.

This helps me. I'm gonna try it. My flail is pretty snaz.
