Symposium

Symposium (symp, for short) refers to a dexterity that is performed in a single jump without planting the delay foot. For example, starting with the left foot in the air, jumping with the right foot, performing a dex with the right leg, landing with the right leg, and delaying the bag with the left foot.

Symple
Tricks where the dex and delay foot are the same (such as Legover or Swirl) cannot naturally be performed symposium (because the opposite foot must be planted in order to do the delay). These tricks can be performed as "symple", where the dex is started like a symposium dex, but the opposite foot is planted midway through. Symple is also shortened as "symp", and the context of the trick will determine whether it is symposium or symple (for example, Symp(osium) Mirage vs Symp(le) Pickup)

Downtime multi-dex tricks and Symposium
There are two cases for applying symposium to a downtime trick that has more than one dex:


 * 1) All dexes are performed with the same leg
 * 2) The dexes are performed by both legs

In the first case (such as a Barrage or a Double Down), all dexes are performed as symposium in a single jump.

In the second case (such as DLO or Eggbeater), there will be be one dex that can naturally be performed as symposium (the Mirage in DLO and the Illusion in Eggbeater).

Sets and Symposium
Tricks with both uptime and downtime dexes use the terms "frontside" ("FS") and "backside" ("BS") in order to denote which dex (or group of dexes) is performed symposium. Taking the trick Atomsmasher as an example:

FS Atomsmasher -> Sympsium Atomic Mirage

BS Atomsmasher -> Atomic Symposium Mirage

For multi-dex sets, there will be one dex in the set that can naturally be performed as symposium (for example, the Illusion in a Frantic set). Therefore, when using BS or FS, the term still refers to the trick as a whole, rather than to the individual dexes of the uptime or downtime components. Taking the trick Frantic Mirage as an example:

FS Frantic Mirage -> Pixie Symposium Quantum Mirage

BS Frantic Mirage -> Pixie Quantum Symposium Mirage
