Starting fresh after a very very long break from footbag, and accepting all challenges. Sticking to 2 and 3 add basics. Combos, endurance, whatever. Throw it at me

.

Also to get an idea of where my game was at when I was playing regularly, check out my blog here http://modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=5702. Keep in mind I haven't played in about 2 years.

Think your set for a while now. Hope these are not too easy

Here are some of my fave endurance/fundamental drills at the moment:

Clipper > Far Legover > rpt x N (where is N is a reasonable integer, say 10)

Clipper > Near Mirage > rpt x N

Clipper > Pickup > Pickup > rpt x N

Clipper > Pickup > Illusion > Legover > Mirage > RPT

Those will really force you to solidy your basics.

Some guiltless/BOP drills to get your clippers healthy again (the 20 clippers on each side that Mathieu suggested is a GREAT drill):

10 infinities. If this is too easy, 20 infinities (far butterflies)

ducking clipper x 4 if too easy do 8 or 12.

Spinning Clipper BS if spinning is a new concept for you, BSOS if you can already do them.

Osis x 4

Butterfly > PDX Mirage > rpt 8 contacts

clipper > op clipper x10 (20 alternating clippers in total)

This is a fundamental imo
