Hey my name is Aleksei.Im 17 and Im from Estonia.Im new to footbag freestyle,I've started playing like 3 weeks ago.For the first 2 weeks I've been practising kicking.Now when i got my new Ilja bag Im doing delays and basic tricks.

Well I just wanted to say Hi to all you shreders out there

Hiya and welcome.

Nice to see your practicing alot.

What made you choose Ilja bag? They are great bags but I wouldn't say they are the best for begginers. Perhaps a Mr.Sandbag would be better?

Time.Time made me choose ilja bag,because i didnt want to wait to long for my bag.I read that sandbags are good for beginers but later they arent, so i've decided to buy ilja's bag.
And i just love the colours he made for me =) later ill get a pic and post my bag and my shoes,my shoes suck though.

Btw today i did my first cliper delay

Obviously if he is IN Estonia, an Ilja will be much easier to obtain. Besides, after a few months they delay better than a sandbag

Good luck, Aleksei! There is already another huge shredder in Finland that shares your name, so I'm confident you're destined for greatness.

Ok, I suppose in a way you will get used to 32 panels quicker and once its broken in it will be much choicer than a sandbag

Well if you learn to play with a 32 right from the beginning you don't have to re-learn stalling (...which you'll probably have to do if you start playing with only sandbags).

And because he and Ilja both are Estonians.

edit:
should have read the posts better, I guess Daniel answered to this himself too...

As in dragon???

Lean forwards at the hips and bend supporting legwhile other leg is in xbdy outside position and point your non supporting hip behind you. Great to see you trying some dragon moves!!!
