Does anybody really use heel stalls? I've been practicing my heel stalls but then I started thinking about it and I can't recall seeing anybody really use it. I still like doing them because I think it's the hardest delay and it really impresses my non-footbag friends that still enjoy a good circle.
about my left
As some of you might know I've been kicking for a long time but just got into freestyle about two months ago. I can't seem to use my left for my life. I can kick forever on the insides and outsides, but my toe kicks just don't realize that I need them to help me to improve my game. I can't dex with my left and I've been trying for about a month now. I can stall on all the basic surfaces but I don't seem to have the flexabiltiy in my left ankle for sole stalls or even flappers. I can't do clippers on my left but strangely I can do butterflies. I really don't understand how I can do a butterfly on my left but can't do a simple clipper.
So in closing.......I hate my left leg.....stupid left leg......I hope you turn into a right leg one day.
Any advice on improving the flex in my left ankle, since that seems to be the main problem, would be greatly appreciated.

no heel stall is not a sole stall. it's with your toes pointing down and the sole of the shoe perpendicular to it. And heel stalls are totally awesome. I just do butterflys and ATW's out of them, but my friend really likes them. He does a pixie heel and throws it back to himself (hard to explain) and calls it "What the heel" (see how it's a play on words???). He also wants to do a xbody heel stall. Can anyone do those good?

No, only for stalling. That's a general rule -- a setting surface doesn't recieve an add. Just as a clipper set doesn't have a crossbody add, a heel set wouldn't have an unusual surface add.
The move before it would recieve the unusual body add for the heel stall, though; moves don't share add components.

ok I can see how that would help for insides/clippers but how does that help heel delays?sniper4life wrote:For flexibility in left ankle I would just sit in my chair at school and do the put the outside of my left shoe on the floor then step on it with my right foot and pull my leg up to get as perpendicular with the ground as a could.
Heel delays are hard with lavers due the the small heel surface, unless you have a heel delay box I seriously suggest making a heel box if you intend to do lots of heel delays.

Maybe make some mod to the heel of your shoe. I think if you peel away the logo it might be less slippery? Slipperiness was the biggest factor when I learned heel stalls (I guess this also depends on your bag, though -- mr sandmans will be a lot harder to stall on a Laver's heel than a facile bag). I think the difficulty is part of what makes heels so fun to hit and watchMarkusss1988 wrote:don't give it up!
