Tricks of the trade 1...Worth it?

Post by Rad »

Does this video actually help you learn the basics of freestyle? Is it worth paying 20$?? I'm under the impression it would help you a lot if you have no one better to help you.

I am kinda torn on this one. I thought it was useful to some extent, but a lot of equal or better resources can be found online for free. It really is a classic though, and something every serious freestyler should probably see at some point, but as far as applicable use, it may not be that helpful. Hope that helps more than I think it will. :D

Lots of your current best learned from that ground breaking tutorial based vid. I say it's very much worth it if you take yourself seriously. I think I may just watch that and the second one tonight to see what all was on it :lol:

I'm personally against using this video to learn. A lot of the tricks on this video are executed with terribly out of date form. Then again, if you have a bad internet connection, this is probably the way to go. It is an entertaining video, at the very least. ;)

I'm the guy with the bad internet conection like Sams talking about. But, still I think it's totally worth it. Even if its a little outdated you can still change your form. It's helped me out a lot.

I hope so because I just ordered it along with a facile Mr.. I'm looking for a new shoes right now and I'm hoping to head in the right direction to get into freestyle footbag.

I had a good time watching the video, but it did not help my game in the least. If you want to copy the style on the video, then you could definitly use it to learn moves and form.
