Do barefoot tricks count?
I don't know, I'm definitely considering Kevin Regamey's video as a hit and valid combo. Sweet stuff!

Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.
No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

At CSS7, I think I played barefoot just as much as with shoes on. A lot of people asked me if I myself "counted" it when tricks were hit barefoot.
I said that I kinda counted tricks and combos separately, barefoot and in shoes.
I hit Atomic Ducking Illusion barefoot.
If I hit Atomic Ducking Illusion in shoes, those would be two separate achievements.
That said, I love playing barefoot. Whatever. :P

I know this is a little old, but I would still care to share my thoughts:
What "counts" depends on how you normally play. Do you consider an ATW in lavers and different trick than ATW in climas? Which one "counts?"
If you play barefoot most of the time, and consider yourself a barefoot-player, do all of your tricks not count? Who's to say which footwear (or lack thereof) counts and which doesn't? No one's going to tell you that your clippers don't count because you're using Lavers.
Basically, all tricks count, but switching to a different style to gain an advantage is silly. If you can't hit it midrun, you don't own the trick anyway.
In other words, if Tiny Tim can't afford shoes, he still gets to play footbag with the rest of us. Although he'd be pretty hungry.

I think it counts if you think you can do them how you normally would play footbag. I.e. if you usually play with shoes on, the barefoot tricks would count if you think you could hit them shoes on too.
And of course, barefoot tricks always count as barefoot tricks. Some barefoot tricks are (like said) easier, some a lot harder than tricks done with shoes on.
By the way, some barefoot-clipper-shiz I hit yesterday:
clipper > op clipper, 5 contacts both sides
ducking clipper
butterfly > pdx mirage > rpt (my first barefoot guiltless drill! 
)
