I just hit a legover! I barely made the stall but I hit it... ON my weak side too. This happened about an hour ago and I still havn't hit one since but it made me feel really happy!

OK session today.. still no more legovers

But i did get 14 alt toe stalls. My alternating inside kicks are becoming more persistant. I'm almost to the point where i can do however many i want. i think i did something like 59 today so thats good

but thats about it.

Dang.. It seems like I'm having the same session over and over again. Practice lots of toe stalls and consecutives and then try to do legovers lots of times and fail... oh well I guess practice will tell..

AWSOME session today! I finally hit 20 alt toe stalls, and actually it was 27. I think I probably could have kept going too! But.... I hit no legovers after trying repetedly and failing every time..My kicks and Inside stalls are improving lots though. I can't remember how many kicks I did but it was alot..I think

My inside stalls were good.. And i'm starting the clipper! Yay for footbag!

GOod session today. Still no legovers but i hit 6 inside alternating stalls. I also hit 69 consecutives! so close to 100. but no legovers..

Ok so on todays sesh I did an experiment with practicing legovers. I self served my self 100 sets of legovers on each side to see how many I'd do...

Here's the results: Out of 100 tries on the left side I hit 0 legovers

...........................Out of 100 tries on the right side i hit 6 legovers

So anyway I though it was really bad that I could hit more on my right side than on my left.

Another thing that I thought was bad was that I self served easy sets to myself! Now I have to do the same experiment with legovers starting with a toestall...

If the legovers are giving you a lot of trouble, work on something else. Try mirages and clippers. Getting too focused on trying to hit one concept can be frustrating. The best thing to do is put it on the back burner and work on other stuff. Often you'll find that by the time you come back to it, the move is much easier. Keep shreddin

Ok I'm gonna try to drill clippers. Thanks!

mannel rox · Post by **mannel rox** » 22 May 2007 14:53

Instead of drilling clippers I think I'll go for consecutives.. It was one of my more original goals and I think I should complete it..

Whoa.. Haven't posted here for a while..

Actually I just started footbag after all a while of quiting..

mannel rox · Post by **mannel rox** » 15 Dec 2007 19:05

Gawd.. It's so hard to remember to post in this thing...

I lost all three of my mr sand bags... I looked and looked but couldn't find any of em... I still have my Rod Lavers and everything though..

Soooo anyway I found some old crotched footbag and I've been using that.. I can't really stall or do any freestyle stuff on it but I'll practice my executives till I get the cash for a Mr. Sandbag or I find my other one(s).

So on my session today I got 23 consecutives.. Yaaay............. Oh well.. I'll be as good as I was back a couple months ago soon...

Annnnd that's about it..

Bye!

59... I'm so close... Once I get to 100 consecutive I'm not sure What I'm gonna do...

I really miss my Mr sandbags!

They were just so easy to stall on..

I think I'm gonna buy a footfighter and get a free Mr with it? It said something like "Any order 25 $ or over you get a free Mr sandbag" I dunno... I need somethign else then this old messed up crotched sack...

And please comment, I love advice or anything..

Thank you modified ~~ ~ ~~

You sure do!

Good job on the 59 consecutive kicks! Are you switching between left and right inside kicks? How are your toe stalls? How many alternating (left to right to left, etc) can you do in a row? Are you doing the "magic hop" (I hate that name

) when you do toe stalls? >>LINK<< Before doing clipper you should try working on alternating inside stalls a bunch.

I think starting legovers from a hand toss is way harder than from the opposite toe stall. Have you watched "Anz' Trikz" video for legover?

If you need extra help with a specific trick, go to this thread and look for a thread on that trick. Read through the old thread and see if the posts answer any questions. If not, post in that same thread. If you can, take a video and post it as well. If you need help figuring out how to post a video, PM me.

Good luck.

Yeah I'm totally equal on both of my sides. I've been practicing both sides since I started footbag.

On my toe stalls I think with my Mr Sandbags (which I lost

) I could do 27 or something like that. Of course I can't do as many with what I'm using now.. And yeah I'm doing the "hop"

Thanks for the help!
