what is recommended to do if i cand figure out what a trick is, where should i ask? i've been searching and searching but i cant find what a ducking paradox reverse whirl is(which i landed happily enough). I know its like a tomahawk but is there another name for the reverse version? like blender and dyno?

I don't think there's a name for reverse tomahawk. Best thing to do is to post as you did on a footbag forum. Someone will usually answer quickly.

ducking far reverse whirl (reverse tomahawk) doesn't have a nickname as far as I know
diving reverse whirl (reverse hatchet) was being called ratchet by myself, Erik Chan and a few others.

Props on the move, hardly anyone does them.

Why thank you, and what exactly is the definition of 'far', besides the obvious one? does it just mean from the other side, like paradox (lets not get started on a pdx debate though)

"Far" is used like you would use "paradox", only for moves that don't get the paradox add such as: butterfly, legover, reverse whirl, dyno, pickup etc...

so you can say things like "far legover" or "I hit ducking far reverse whirl (reverse tomahawk)".

But tomahawk has paradox in it so wouldn't the reverse also have the add for paradox?

The definition of pdx is in regard to far moves with a full dexterity.

I now refer to everything as far (as opposed to pdx). Pdx is supposed to be referring to the double hip pivot, but this often doesn't quite describe the situation (eg. "pdx" illusion).

My suggestion is to not worry about what gets a "pdx" add, it just isn't all that important.
