Darn I wish I would of read this first. I just ordered 2 Dirtbags yesterday for my bags in over 15 years to teach my daughter and to see if I can still do it. Ah well at least they are not expensive so I guess I will just have to oder the sandbags and just let the dirtbag rot when they get here.

dirtbags are good for learning kicks and basic stalls, but the mr. is better!

I just ordered a Mr. Sandbag so I am now covered. The sport has changed in 20 years.

Hi Dan, take a look at this: http://www.footbag.org/reference/-/ADDs. Most things concerning footbag are explained very well on that website. Ahh and welcome to the forum and footbag

Have fun.

that help a little, i guesse, i still dont know how to interpret the way you guys write down tricks

Yeah, I have some difficulties with the notation as well...

I'd check out the Anz trick tip videos. IMO its more helpful to watch a video than to try to learn the trick from reading a description. The trick tip videos are on the footbag.org site, and stickied to the top of the Trick Tips subforum here on modified.

To learn the notation look at these:

Learn 100 kicks, alternating sides. Don't neglect the most simplest move.

Wumbo · Post by **Wumbo** » 21 Apr 2007 07:18

100 toe stalls = 10 times easier than 100 kicks imo

janis · Post by **janis** » 21 Apr 2007 16:29

true, but it is very important to learn both 100 alternating toe stalls and 100 consecutive kicks,
