I thought my hip flexor injury had healed after a week and a half, so I went out to get back into things and 20 minutes later - pain again!
This is hands down the worst injury I've ever had. Not because of the pain, but because I can't improve if I get injured as soon as I begin. I am doing all ...

I am not anywhere near clipper (haven't even got 10+ inside kicks). Anyway, my hip pain has subsided.

I usually train atw for half an hour straight, trying to break personal records (and I always do, because I don't allow myself to stop until I do). My atw training is roughly as follows

>break ...

I am only doing atw both feet/both ways pickup/legover both feet. Haven't trained since Thursday at least - sucks hard.

edit: Also I have a quick question: Did you always train 4 hours a day, since the beginning? Because I do the same (4 one hour trainings, 5-7 days a week [sometimes I take the ...

I am starting to get an audible pop in my right hip (doesn't hurt), is that a bad sign?

My hips are so annoying: one pops, the other has hip flexor pains (have been doing all sorts of stretches) - all I want to do is train!

1. Where is the cheapest place to buy them (online), other then eBay (I have seen them on WorldFootbag for $49.95)?

2. What is the best model to buy?

3. Where can I find a step-by-step guide to modifying them (I've searched Modified and have only found dead links)?

Okay, thanks.
I will be doing lunges through out the day, but right it is not very serious pain - so hopefully it will heal quicker.

I have become fairly consistent at both sides/both ways atws, but now when I lift my left (weak) leg I get a pain in my left hip; it is not a "serious" pain, but it definitely hurts.

Should I play through it (I did today - trained 2 hours, 4 yesterday) or rest? I am against resting, however, and ...

I do not think football freestyle builds as much mass in the legs, because there are different areas (uppers). I used to be able to do 3 rev. (dex) tricks two years ago, and I have small legs. Pawel Skora, however, has tree trunk thighs.

I've heard that Vasek Klouda trains 8 hours a day. Is that why his right leg is huge?

Is it okay to practice in socks every now and then? This makes my atws feel so much smoother and controlled.

I began footbag almost two weeks ago and my goal is to become a top player in time. Coming form Freestyle Football, where I had reached an advanced level after only three months (and by that I mean I became consistent at maybe the 2nd hardest trick), I know things might not be that easy. I currently ...

What should I have learned before moving onto Mirage?

I can do:
>consistent toe stalls (with/without magic hop)
>consistent toe kicks
>strong-foot record of 17 in-out atw (can do about 6 consistently)
>weak-foot record of 4 in-out atw (can barely do 1 consistently)

Moved to Mirage thread --Erik ...

I can't get my inside kicks consistent due to the fact that when my foot hits the bag it goes straight up, and because of that I can't alternate feet.

What are some stretches I can do to get a better crank?

In freestyle football this trick is very easy for me, but in freestyle footbag it is harder since you circle differently. My toe stalls (both) are essentially mastered (in a beginner's way; they are consistent and can do 20+ toe-to-toe), but I don't if I should be doing the trick in one movement ...

I've just started freestyle footbag today, 3/22/12, and have a Mr. Sandbag. I already do freestyle football (my level is probably between advanced and intermediate), so I figured I would at least be able to toe kicks already, but it's completely different. I can't hit the bag above waist height, so ...
