newbie video - please help

hey everyone, I have been footbagging for about 4-5 months now. I can land toe delays, inside delays, atw's, and legovers regular, and I am currently woking on mirages and clipper stalls. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

:D NICE stuff !
Good consistancy and good both sided stuff. From just watching that one clip I would suggest working your other clipper and try to not hunch over as much when you are playing. Try to be a bit looser with your upper body as well. Good work.

Real good. :)

As for the hunching, he's probably doing that just to get his whole body in the camera... :lol:

Thats some of the best two-sidedness i've ever seen in a beginner! :) Both ATW and legover BSOS.(Both sides one string)

Work your inside surfaces....it will come in handy when you are learning tricks that end in clipper.

I just now started to erect my posture,

Hunching is a result of not practicing your clipper and relying to much on instict

You have to allow your knee to blind you for a second and trust your set, as

you can develop bad techniques while learning ducks and dives from hunching over

It also helps with endurance if you stop hunching

But yeah i agree with everyone keep it up. dont forget to learn out to in atws

and start working on flip clipper asap.

Trust me you will be surprised what tricks you can hit in less than a year of heavy practice this sport truly gives back what you put in.
