I was looking through the tricklist of footbag.org and determined that there are so many tricks which have no member tips added.
I guess you know what list I am refering to , if not here is a link to it :
http://www.footbag.org/freestyle/
I hope that there are a few people here which will invest 5 minutes or more and add their hints to some tricks.
Btw mad props to Byrin for doing this already!!!
It is quite clear that you will not get any feedback there but be sure your advice will be read very often !
Thanks to all who will share their knowledge how to master a trick.
Freestyle member tips at Footbag.org! Do it!

Just to clarify-
of course it would be better if a topfreestler add his tips to tricks like mirage or legover, but there will be always tricks which are hard for somebody and for somebody they aren't.
So if there is a trick you mastered - add your personal key to this trick , and every freestyler will be thankful to be able to read your hint.
If you met other players at tournaments you will understand what I mean.
I.E. Max told me that Ryan told him how to whirl. With this kind of advice it took me about 3 minutes to increase my whirls enormously.
Sad that not everybody had the possiblitiy to visit many tournaments and collect such tips.
Nothing is better than shred with other expierenced players and get their corrections, but these tips are very valuable for those who have to shred alone most of the year.
Anybody already added one of his tips?

I am feeling inspired by this, I will go add a tip or two.
I will edit with what I added.
1)
Clipper set Illusion Added by Tom Mosher
For this trick I set the bag up just above knee height and qucikly plant so that my weight shifts back and I hop forwards into the illusion. I often think of it as attacking the illusion, I really focus on getting it deep in the pocket behind my knee. Remember - the deeper the better! It is important to have a smooth circular illusion motion that ends in time to manage a clean opposite foot toe stall.
2)
Reverse Swirl Added by Tom Mosher
To get them cleanly I set the bag up about 8 inches from my clipper delay, using all the strength in my clipper leg I pull it forwards, arcing upwards and then continue circling. As the bag is peaking I am usually at the peak point or there abouts. I try not to do it as an uptime or a downtime move and rather all midtime so it happens smoothly. As the bag begins to decend I always have my foot already in good clipper position (if still somewhat loose ankled) and I aim to have the bag come down in front of just above my ankle on my shin and then you just simply put your clipper foot under it and catch it delicately. I think the most difficult part for me is not kicking the bag with my foot when I start the upwards motion around the bag. In order to get that clean I find it is easier to stand more over the bag which causes the dexterity to be done deeper on the leg, which is always a good thing, and thus it misses hitting your heel.
3)
Cross-Body Sole Delay Added by Tom Mosher
Other than just standing in place with the bag on your foot the best way to get the feel for having your foot upside down is to just try over and over setting from same side clipper. It took me a while to get the feeling for knowing what a flat sole surface felt like. You will develope the memory for what if feels like when it is done right by practicing over and over and experimenting with different techniques.
