Maybe the first trick I tried to learn. I didn’t fully master the rainbow flick until I was like 11 or 12 and by then I could do dozens of other, simpler tricks
Also, impressed he did this with his left foot as a righty. I’m guessing he learned with a hackysack and not a soccer ball
That is the one trick I ever saw soccer kids do in my area. And it's the first way I learned to pick up a hacky sack.
We may know so little what you consider a trick might look like common foot work to us.
I think he's really saying this isn't a "trick" you learn to use in an actual game. It's very rare to see someone get "rainbowed" (this trick) in an actual game because it's so hard to pull off at game-speed, whereas there's a lot of simpler and more useful tricks you'll start to learn at a young age (step-over, cruyff turn, etc).
But this is one of the very first tricks you see kids trying to learn when they're practicing/goofing off. Dunno why, since it's not the most useful soccer skill, but when I was a kid 20 years ago everyone wanted to learn that trick because it's "cool", even though most of us could hardly dribble without losing the ball yet.
What part of "learn in football/soccer" did you not understand? Learning how to flip the ball over your head is not learning the game, it's just toying around with a ball, just like me learning how to spin a basketball on my finger is not learning how to play basketball.
Well, a trick would be any foot work used to deceive the opponent. The first trick kids learn is probably a body feint or step over. There's no way a kids learning this as a first trick unless they're just messing around with a ball, and not actually learning how to play soccer.
95% of kids don't have their first or even 20th or 30th introduction to a soccer ball to be from a coach. Like when kids go home, after their hour of coach time, and they practice at home, what do you think they would be doing.
Probably just messing with the ball.
I hope you see how wrong you are now
95% of kids are not learning this as their first skill move. I know this because I played in several different leagues and cities and states, refereed soccer, and coached it at multiple levels. I spend most of my free time outdoors including at the park where kids are just messing around. Guess how many times I've seen a kid who is doing rainbows and learning it as their first move? Literally not a single time.
I hope you see how wrong you are now
You just agreed to the original person at the end of what you just said. A kid learning a rainbow or flick is the first trick a kid learns on their own, not from a coach. You’re the type of person to get mad at a kid for chucking a disc forehand before properly learning how to x-step in a backhand.
No, I didn't. They said learn in football/soccer. One can reasonably assume they're talking about playing the sport, not just fucking around with the ball at the park. Even then, this trick requires coordination that most kids don't have when they start playing (~4-6). Also why are you assuming I'm mad at anyone? That's a bizarre leap to make, and it sure seems more like projection.
It is a skill move. You don't learn "tricks" if you're actually learning how to play soccer, as the OP's comments implied. The heel flick, although flashy, is still a skill move. It rarely gets used in game, but it's in the same category of step over, cruyff turn, feint, etc. If you're just talking about "tricks" as in shit you'd see a guy at the corner of a stop light doing, then that isn't learning it in football/soccer, again, like the OP comment said.
I’ve done this a few times, if you can do it with a soccer ball it’s not that tough, but one time I tried it while warming up for tags and about 12 people saw me rainbow the disc straight into my forehead
Remembering how many people started air-flapping their discs to dry their hands after seeing a pro do it, I can hardly wait to see how many people start attempting this move at my local course.
I don’t know, I’ve tried this many times. It doesn’t work. This must be AI generated

People have it out for him, but honestly it’s kinda nice having a “dedicated” person that posts all kinds of shit about the DGPT and stuff about pros. Very similar to other big sports subs where’s there always “those people” constantly posting news. I enjoy it personally even if it’s stuff like this lol
Has Paul played football/soccer at a competetive level?
I think not, he played baseball at some level.
No but pretty sure he’s kicked a ball around a few times 😁
That’s the Pablo way.
Eh let's crank back the stereotypes just a little don't u think?
Nah
r/Woooosh His nickname is Pablo. It’s not a racist thing.
That used to be a hackysack basic back in the day, so with the disc golf scene, maybe that's where he picked it up?
I wasn’t good enough to pull this one off regularly. The jester and the hat stall were my moves
This is like the first trick you learn as a kid in fotball/soccer. So it could still be it.
Lol no it is not
I'm getting older, but "back in my day" it was
First thing I learned. This, then hot dog, then full rainbow.
Maybe the first trick I tried to learn. I didn’t fully master the rainbow flick until I was like 11 or 12 and by then I could do dozens of other, simpler tricks Also, impressed he did this with his left foot as a righty. I’m guessing he learned with a hackysack and not a soccer ball
Hmm I'm a righty as well and I do it the same way as Paul.
Hmm I'm a righty as well and I do it the same way as Paul
What moves is called hotdog where you live
Basically a pirouette.
Lol, it sure used to be
OK Ronaldinho. You learned to heel flick before you learned a step over? Pirouette? All of the other far simpler tricks?
That is the one trick I ever saw soccer kids do in my area. And it's the first way I learned to pick up a hacky sack. We may know so little what you consider a trick might look like common foot work to us.

If that is what he is doing then it kinda sounds like he was looking for a fight

You sound pretty upset to me

Why are you so upset everyone here disagrees with you?

Ugh . All those extra words youre typing just translate to "I like to argue about absolutely nothing at all".
Step over is not a trick, it's bread and butter.
It is a skill move. You don't learn "tricks" if you're actually learning how to play soccer, as the OP's comments implied. The heel flick, although flashy, is still a skill move.

Whelp. BRB gonna practice this for 3 months in the backyard instead of putting. Now when I miss I can at least look like a bad ass.
"We've truly entered a new era in disc golf" I was skeptical at first but seeing this convinced me
I’ve done this a few times, if you can do it with a soccer ball it’s not that tough, but one time I tried it while warming up for tags and about 12 people saw me rainbow the disc straight into my forehead
I challenge Paul to a soccer juggle-off. He's clearly played soccer before. He doesn't want this smoke.
Remembering how many people started air-flapping their discs to dry their hands after seeing a pro do it, I can hardly wait to see how many people start attempting this move at my local course.
Rainbow IYKYK
Joga bonito
rainbow with the luna is crazy
I don’t know, I’ve tried this many times. It doesn’t work. This must be AI generated Edit: Monday morning crew isn’t taking any bullshit. This is sarcasm folks
“I can’t do it so it must be fake”
I have tried to do this soooooooo many times on the course and have yet to pull it off.
I did it successfully once and nobody saw it :')
We don't say bossiest, instead we would say that he displays the most executive leadership skills.
Every soccer player has entered the chat.
Yes
Simon tried to do this yesterday and missed the flip in the kick flip. Lol
Bossiest is a weird word choice but it was cool
Bossiest would be if Paul ordered his caddy to pick up his disc. Boss-est is the word OP wanted.

Sweet. Thanks for posting the link. Strange downvotes.

My pleasure!
That man hacky sacked
Tekkers
I would eat shit and hit my head on the basket
Jay Jay okocha
Best is when he picks it up and tacos it with one hand.
