New to Freestyle

Hey Guys, I've been into circle kicking on and off for a while. I recently got into freestyle and got a sandmaster as one of my christmas presents. Alot of people recommend a Mr. Sandbag, but what do you think of the sandmaster? Is it easy to stall? Also, I ordered some Lavers online and they should be here any day now. How much of a difference do they make?

I've never owned a sandmaster, but I've read other people have played with them and say they are ok. Lavers will definitely make a difference. How much difference depends on the kind of shoes you're used to playing in. If you've played with your typical clunky skater shoes, then Lavers will feel much better.

I'd suggest reading the stickies on the top of this section. It has tons of information for the new player.

I think a Sandmaster will work great for learning all of the basic stalls and kicks, it did for me. Once you start getting into more of the 2 add moves, the Sandmaster will get a little frustrating to use. Until then, it should be good.
