Flying Clipper*
2 adds
  Jump and kick the footbag with the inside surface of the foot with the kicking leg tucked behind the jumping leg. It's easiest to land on the same leg that kicks the bag. This move is also called "Jester".   [bod] [xbd]

Leg Over*
2 adds
 
SET > OP OUT [DEX] > SAME TOE [DEL]

Pass the support leg over the footbag and catch on a delay. E.g., from a left toe stall, hop off the right leg and bring it over the top of the footbag and catch it on a right toe delay.

  [dex] [del]

Mirage*
2 adds
 
SET > OP IN [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL]

From a toe delay or a clipper delay, set the bag straight up, and swing the support leg from in to out over the footbag, catching it with the setting leg on a toe delay. The set from a clipper delay is easier once you know how to do a clipper. Note: with a toe-set mirage, the support leg has to first swing under, then back over the bag!

  [dex] [del]

Butterfly*
3 adds
 
SET > SAME or OP OUT [DEX] > OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

A leg over straight to a clipper delay. E.g., from a right toe set the footbag up and slightly towards yourself. Hop off your right leg and pass your left leg over the footbag- delay the footbag with the inside surface of the right foot in a cross body position ie a clipper delay.

  [dex] [xbd] [del]

Osis*
3 adds
 
SET > (back or front) SPIN [BOD] > SAME or OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

Spin into a clipper delay. It is easiest to set this from a clipper stall on the other foot or from a toe delay with the other foot, straight in front of you (not behind you). E.g., from a right toe set, set straight in front of you, about waist high, and turn to the left so the footbag passes behind your back... Keep your head down with your eyes on the footbag until just before it lands on the inside surface of your right foot. Then turn quickly to the left (counterclockwise) and catch the footbag on a clipper delay.

Video demonstration available!

Paradox
Mirage
*

3 adds
 
CLIP > SAME IN [PDX] [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL]

E.g., from a right clipper delay, set the bag so it's moving across your body from left to right, then bring your right leg around the left leg and around the footbag as it falls. You must in this case circle the footbag from the left of the footbag to the front and finally to the right ending on a left toe delay. Basically the paradox leg completes a tight sharp 'S' shape with the support leg in the first loop and the footbag in the second loop of the letter 'S'.

Symposium
Mirage
*

3 adds
 
SET > (no plant while) OP IN [BOD] [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL]

E.g., from a right toe delay- jump hard off the support leg and over the footbag when it's falling down. Scoop the footbag up before it hits the ground with the setting foot which never touches the ground.

  [bod] [dex] [del]

Paradon*
4 adds
 
TOE > OP OUT [DEX] > SAME OUT [DEX] > OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

Same as double over down except set from one leg and circle with the other. Eg. From a right toe delay- set the bag across slightly and circle the bag twice from out to in with your left leg- hop off the right leg as your bring the left leg down and catch on a right leg clipper delay.

Video demonstration available!

4 adds
 
CLIP > (back) SPIN [BOD] > (back) SPIN [BOD] > OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

Torque*
(Stepping Opposite Osis)
4 adds
 
CLIP > OP IN [DEX] > (back) SPIN [BOD] > OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

A mirage into an osis. Eg. From a right clipper delay- quickly plant the right leg and bring your left leg over the bag simultaneously hopping off the right leg as you spin to the left to catch the bag on a right foot osis.

Video demonstration available!

  [dex] [bod] [xbd] [del]

Ripwalk*
(Stepping Opposite Side Butterfly)
4 adds
 
CLIP > OP IN [DEX] > OP OUT [DEX] > OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

This move is identical to the Da Da curve except after the mirage you put the miraging leg down. Eg. From a right clipper delay bring the left leg over the footbag by turning your hips to the left. Put the left leg down and use it to hop off into a left butterfly delay.

Video demonstration available!

Blur*
(Stepping Paradox Mirage)
4 adds
 
CLIP > OP IN [DEX] > OP IN [PDX] [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL]

A mirage into a paradox mirage. Eg. From a right clipper bring the left leg over the footbag to the ground simultaneously bringing the right leg around the footbag from in to out- just before planting the right leg hop off the left leg and catch the footbag on a left toe delay.

Video demonstration available!

(Gyro Torque)
5 adds
 
CLIP > (BACK) SPIN [BOD] > SAME IN [DEX] > (BACK) SPIN [BOD] > OP CLIP [XBD] [DEL]

Eg. Right clipper set- turn so the bag passes behind your back (clockwise)- then without planting your right foot- spin into a right leg mirage and catch the footbag on a left Osis.
