Post by capuchino man »

when i do a trick should i stall it or kick it. whenever i kick it and try to do another trick its really hard but when i stall (when i can) its easier. i just wanted to know from people more experienced than me and what they do.

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to do kicking tricks then kicking is the way to go. If you want to get into the fundamental freestyle tricks, you'll need to stall.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

Well one reason why you can't stall in shoes well might be because of the what shoes your using. Do you have Lavers? Or Quantums? I'd say that if you wanted to get seriously into footbag it would be beneficial to invest in some Rod Lavers. Also when you ask for tips when stalling a trick, it would help to know what kind of trick your trying to stall. Is it a toe stalling move? Or an inside stalling move? Or a clipper stalling move? Hope some of this helped. Welcome to footbag.
