"I'm just getting started, what should I do first?"

This guide is fairly comprehensive yet is also a work in progress. I've got the essential basics covered pretty well, and in a different language than on .org (I wrote my descriptions based on whatever personal definitions I came up with in the moment). It's called the Freedom Footbags' Freestyle Footbag Fundamentals Flyer (FFFFFF):

There are a few other key posts in the Beginner's Corner secion of my blog, including one on the magic hop, below:

Peace.

This is really geeky, but "ffffff" is the HTML colour code for white.
White isn't a colour, but every colour combined...
So it's kind of like saying that the Freedom guide encompasses all aspects of the game.

Maybe if you played a bit longer and tried other bags, you'd see that there are better bags out there.

Dirtbags aren't bad at all for beginner bags. I personally think they're better than Mr. Sandbags within the first month or so of playing. SHOES are the most important part of footbag. Rod Lavers have flat, net-like surfaces that are ideal for catching the bag. But yeah, as long as a bag breaks in to be pretty stally you're good.

what i meant was that i have used a mr. sandbag, and a footfighter, and i personally like dirbags to be my choice of bag until i get a 32 p

oh and the gear I have is crappy leather walmart shoes (ordering rod lavers now) and a dirtbag foot bag.

could someone help a noob out?

Practice jester on the other foot, I think it's called super jester or flipsider or something.
