Um - I suggest you check out the Getting Started forum - which is where this topic is going!

Also practice all the time!

practice will help. try to curl your toes in the clipper formation. try to create a pocket in the side of you shoe for the bag. keep droping it from your hand to your foot, clipper it, then catch it. if you still cant do it bend the knee that isnt stalling the bag just a little. youll catch on its just hard at first. and the most important thing is to school your flipside clipper. itll help alot later on.
