Demonstration moves

what moves do you think are good to bust out for a non footbag playing audience?

Ducks and Spins. And, for you Janis, any "unusual" tricks, like unique stalls and stuff should impress them. Also, doing a few atw's and then a datw usually gets a reaction.

haha! I totally made this thread a month ago! Search and you'll find it

datw is great-but build up for it. I did a datw on stage after they were anouncing all the band members names and then my name "Doing Freestyle Footbag" So I busted a DATW

pixie is kind of lost on the crowd, as is atomic. Stepping is a good uptime, ducking and spinning are good. same leg double dexes. Unusuals, and repeating moves. like whirl>whirl>whirl>whirl

Do all sixes and sevens. The crowd will love it. Even though they don't know what's happening.

No offense but people will laugh at spins. They look stupid. Ducks are good though.

Yeah spinning sucks. No one would like those. Props for saying it man, I've thought that for years.

I think half spins look good, but full 360's sometimes look kind of unappealing...

yeah 360s remind of of cheese and relish sandwiches...

380s and 416th's are where it's at.

Thats bull crap, anyone who sees you kick it up, spin round in a full circle and keep goin will go crazy! At least that's how normal people would think of a spinning move.

I think pixie and fairy are too slight for most people to see, ducking is cool, but I will admit that when I first started and was watching a vasek routine, I thought it was lame how he kept popping it over his head and the spins and big moves (like blurriest, blurry whirl etc) were what was cool about footbag.

I would say the most impressive thing you can do is look professional, be consistant, you don't have to hit super hard stuff, so long as you DONT DROP. Not dropping is the most impressive thing you can do in a routine to non-footbaggers.
Nobody wants to see double atw drop > doublt atw drop > double atw > clipper drop.

I was overly sarcastic on the spins.

I think consecutive spins looks impressive on the contrary Chris. I can't believe all you spin haters out there. Eat shiz.
