Belle-able
« on: December 13, 2005, 11:42:39 PM »
I recently started coining this phrase because its all the things that I want to do and the things that I know David Belle could do.  Thus

Belle-Able /Belle-Able /Belle-Able /Belle-Able /Belle-Able
Example - you look at a drop or a run and say wow...I could never do that.  Its Belle-able though!

the lexicon is more for terms that are widely used and known by all traceurs. and somebody already put in "do-able" which is a similar and more common phrase.

The reason why I put it here is so people may start using it...when simpsons came out even the dictionary put Doh' in it.  I think its a great word and explains a lot.  Oh and I know about the do-able...that is why I posted this one.

I feel there is a difference between the phrases "do-able" and Bell-able"
Do-able means "yeah, I can do that." Bell-able refers to the moves/runs that only one of a certain level could do BEYOND the normal levels of a intermediate and seasoned traceur.

an example of this: Jump B. when Seb. and Kerbie are together and Seb. did some kind of difficult move and Kerbie said "I did not think that was possible" and Kerbie is a good traceur. Seb. just knew it was Bell-able.
