Epic Summer FlashJam #8

On Paper:

  • Big Over to Back Stall:
    We don’t really have a Big Over, so it is nice that this is the opening skill. Takes a bit of pressure off.
    It should be a nice move to our Back Stall, which features a caught disc during a super floaty stalling leap. Great sequence for practicing this skill.
  • Back Stall to Through:
    Our standard dismount. I do have a choice as to whether I bring him through clock or counter clock. The Heli Out performance on the first rep or two will give me the answer.
  • Through to Heli Out:
    Not sure how we’re going to handle this. I’m envisioning a quick flip as soon as the flank gets set with the finish of the Through behavior.
  • Heli Out to Overhand Wrist Flip:
    Might be a skipping under opportunity here. Heli out is a BIG flipping skill.
    No idea at all other than that…

In Practice:

We will be running this sequence in the near future… Stay Tuned.

Epic’s Clever Set Up Moves | Volume 1 Part I | Scoots & Fakies

Disc Dog freestyle sequences have a starting position, often it is Front Position – dog standing in front of the handler. Set Up Moves are ways of getting set up in time and space. They get the team into position and in time.
Most players have a go-to Set Up Move, or 3, but it is important to have a variety of entries into the positions that start sequences to keep things interesting and to display and enhance flow.
In this epic video there are 13 different set up moves, some are fairly standard, and some are pretty clever. Below we’ll name and define them and talk about usage and pros and cons.
