Stepping
Anyone have some practice tips to learn stepping? When I try, it seems like the bag is already too high for me to get my knee up and over it If you have a question again about a trick or set, before starting a new thread, please consult the master list and see if it's already got its own. The master...

Heart Rate Monitors to Prevent Overuse Injuries
I have been starting to play regularly, and as I usually play by myself, I will end up just drilling certain moves. As everyone here knows, having a good training session, or a good session in general, is an intense workout. However, whenever I start to over-exert myself, I'll get kind of soreness o...

So I'm in LA for a few days and I just got back from a trip to International Silks and Woolens, which is listed as a dealer of Ultrasuede. They have a very bright yellow as well as a bright red and we ended up getting a pretty good price on it. The tags all said $70/yard, but they went down to $60, ...

Repairing a footbag
So I was just wondering what all of you players out there do when you start getting those little pinholes in your footbags. I recently tried using some shoe leather tear mender stuff that has been working better than I thought. It looks funny, but once it dries it is somewhat elastic so the bags sti...

I would also like to hear of some other sources of Ultrasuede light, yellow would be nice to have. I've been to the Ultrasuede website and looked over their places to buy it, and Field's was basically the only carrier of Ultrasuede light. I found some burnt orange (saffron to be specific) on Field's...

How Long Did It Take You?
How long had you been playing before you reached benchmark levels of freestyle? I'm thinking: mirage/illusion/clipper/legover/pickup 10x in a row consistently, continuous tiltless strings, consecutive ss or alternating clippers, ss or alternating downs, continuous guiltless strings, continuous doubl...

The only thing I can think of is to use this pattern generator to make hexagons with all sides the same length: http://patterns.mhansen.org/ But if you're wanting to make hexagons that are used in a typical 42, I'm not sure. I just got out the old t-square and protractor! I noticed you found Brianbe...

So I used your advice and tried my hand at making a 42. What got me hung up was what angle to make the "points" of the hexagon. I ended up going with 53.5 degrees (half the angle in a pentagon), but after looking at my bag, I'm thinking it should have been 30. In the end, I don't think it mattered t...

Other Footbag Patterns
I've been looking around for some other patterns to make a sphere out of geometrical shapes. I found this one that is deceptively similar to a 32-panel bag, but instead has 42 panels. However, it is still only regular pentagons and hexagons. The name is "truncated rhombic triacontahedron". Has anyon...

So I'm starting a blog about footbag, and in it is a stab at a tutorial about sewing a 32-panel bag. I've got some good pictures and tried to make it worthwhile, so see what you think: http://umbrellabags.wordpress.com/ . While you're there, you can check out (they're for sale!) some of the bags I'v...

Umbrella Footbags
Hey there modified, I've recently started up my own blog that is predominantly about footbag and my progression as a freestyle player, but will also include a few other sports I'm into (climbing and running). One of the topics I'm focusing on is to display and hopefully sell some footbags I've been ...
