Books or Dvd's

I'm just starting out and I've got some Freedom bags. I am pretty terrible and I can land a clipper stall and a dex once in a while, are there any good books or dvd's out there that can help me out.

I found this tricks of the trade dvd on amazon, is it any good

if anyone can recommend anything, or steer me in the right direction that would be a lot of help.

Thanks,
Jon

hackrifice.com has a pretty large selection of single trick videos available for download. start with the 1add and 2add tricks (entry level tricks) and once you can hit all of those 10 times in a row and string them together to make runs, start looking at the 3 add and 4 add tricks. also check out the Getting Started forum too. Tricks of the Trade 2 is a pretty good video to learn the basics. welcome to the forum.

i totally agree with andrew. hackrifice is really good to learn tricks. also you should go to www.footbag.org and take their jobs notation tutorial which is very helpful in learing to read how tricks are done.

As awesome as Anssi's videos are, I wouldn't suggest them to someone who is having difficulties with clipper. Flipsider.com also has a lot of videos (with some drill ideas for beginners).

doesnt Freedom sent out that flyer with all the stuff on it? It says on the site that with that and practice you can get just as good as you would from reading a book

hey man..... i would definitely reccomend tricks of the trade "1" with emphasis on the one. the second one is mega advanced for the majority of the footage. id get the first, master everything on there, then get #2. and yes, hackrifice videos are awesome! i have my WMP library full of them

Gravity Man, by Jorden Moir

I haven't seen it, but do they do the "old" clipper technique on tricks of the trade?

I feel that Gravity Man is only a beginning stage for beginner circle kickers. Once you start to learn any 2 adds I feel that it is no longer helpful... It doesn't really teach any of the freestyle basics, as I see them, and that was really disappointing

oh, I didn't know that

Still the best way to learn stuff is by shredding with other people.
