Challenge Jordan

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 17 May 2009 18:55

I've recently got back into footbag, playing atleast 3-4 times a week for an hour or more. I thought this would be a good time to set up a "Challenge" topic for myself because Im getting better at the sport and I hope to only get better. With the help of you guys ofcourse

(Tricks I have solid)

Clipper

Illusion

Legover

Pickup

Butterfly

Mirage

(Tricks I can hit most of the time, but NOT 100% solid)

Pdx Mirage

Pdx Illusion

Infinity

SS Mirage

SS Butterfly

DLO

Eggbeater

Symposium Mirage

Ducking Butterfly

Ducking Clipper

Osis

I would love to get the above more solid while also improving other things. Also, Im not good at any sets, I can do pixie and stepping, but im not so great at them, and I dont think I should be getting them down just yet. So for now, I just wana work on the basics and hopefully I can learn my sets and get them solid before the summer ends...

Here are a couple of good drills to work every session.

One full cycle of each, 4 contacts, then push yourself to do more. Same with the Full drill.

Mirage > Ss Mirage rpt
Illusion > Ss Illusion rpt

then

Mirage > Ss Mirage rpt > Illusion > Ss Illusion rpt

Here are some things to work:
Ss Clipper. This will help with alot of ss tricks

See how many drops it takes you to reach 100 of a consecutive move (i.e. start where you left off, not at 0) for your first 6 moves listed, alternating and on both sides. Then work on cutting your drop count in half.

Then remove your drops one at a time until you do them all dropless.

Remember to keep good posture and form (body tall, back straight, stomach tight, head high, balance slightly forward, playing on the toes, hips pivoting to dex).
