Try pulling a reverse whirl or a whirl.

Imagine a butterfly, but the leg that you go over the bag with moves differently. It is like a back to front dex instead of out to in dex. Instead of going over the bag with your calf, you are going over it with your shin, and your toe points towards the ground. Land and catch on a clip.

You could also add moves to your existing ones. Like ducking or diving clipper. Or smush two moves together like miraging butterfly.

Work on your Around the Worlds, both sides.

Good call!
I have some old videos here: http://www.hackrifice.com/minisooper/
They are old and crappy and you have to right click save target as, because they load in the window and I don't feel like fixing it right now. I was working on finishing up the basics from when we filmed the other 250, but I may just wait to refilm them when my camera is fixed again. In any case, videos are the best way to learn, aside from someone better than you in front of your FACE!!!!!

a misty kick is when you bring your leg over the hacky sack and then hit it and chiller is when you bring your leg over the hacky sack the opposite way I don't know if theyr'e the real names but that's how I learned them, I can do Around the Worlds but only one way,

Ducking and diving means you toss the bag over your neck (too far over your neck is considered sloppy).

A clipper is when you stall the bag on the inside surface of your foot while your stalling leg is tucked behind your support leg. It's kind of complicated to explain, but watching videos should help you out. www.monsterhack.com has a lot of good demos that should help you out, too! ( http://www.monsterhack.com/freestyle/tricktips.htm ) Watching a variety of videos of the same move is also beneficial as every player has a different style and the move may look slightly different depending on the player.

So a ducking clipper is tossing the bag over your neck and catching on a clipper. Diving the same as ducking but the bag stays on the same side of your body. So, for example, for ducking clipper you would set the bag from a right foot clipper (on the left side of your body, behind your supporting left leg), up over your neck and caught on a left foot clipper (on the right side of your body, behind your supporting right leg.) Got it? Don't worry, it's confusing. You best bet for now is to stick with the 2 add moves.

~~~~~~

Pickup is like an in-to-out around the world, but set from the opposite toe. For illusion you set from (for example) right toe, dex from out to in with your left leg and stall again on the right foot.

Thats a pretty positive attitude to have about footbag, but what would be even cooler is to show some of your friends how to do the moves, so you have someone to shred with in your hometown! Then you can spread the word about footbag and start a freestyle club in your city.

Then when you get better, you can come to a tournament and show US up.

:D

RGR that.
That is pretty much what i do. Even though im not good, im the best in my school, probably town, but i dont learn tricks to "show people up" i learn them to amaze people and motivate them to learn the same tricks. Footbag is all about love, and sharing of the wealth of shreding.
Every man has their technique, and they are all different......when you know mine.....youll be dead.

It's the one you used to make this ( . ) character. I think he was suggesting that you add periods to the end of your sentences to make them a bit easier to read.
