Help a [metaphorically] old dog relearn his old tricks

Post by Chris Hanratty »

Starting fresh after a very very long break from footbag, and accepting all challenges. Sticking to 2 and 3 add basics. Combos, endurance, whatever. Throw it at me :).

Also to get an idea of where my game was at when I was playing regularly, check out my blog here http://modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=5702. Keep in mind I haven't played in about 2 years.

Here are some of my fave endurance/fundamental drills at the moment:

:arrow: Clipper > Far Legover > rpt x N (where is N is a reasonable integer, say 10)
:arrow: Clipper > Near Mirage > rpt x N
:arrow: Clipper > Pickup > Pickup > rpt x N
:arrow: Clipper > Pickup > Illusion > Legover > Mirage > RPT

Those will really force you to solidy your basics.

Some guiltless/BOP drills to get your clippers healthy again (the 20 clippers on each side that Mathieu suggested is a GREAT drill):

:arrow: 10 infinities. If this is too easy, 20 infinities (far butterflies)
:arrow: ducking clipper x 4 if too easy do 8 or 12.
:arrow: Spinning Clipper BS if spinning is a new concept for you, BSOS if you can already do them.
:arrow: Osis x 4
:arrow: Butterfly > PDX Mirage > rpt 8 contacts
