Can you kick easily +50? If not then it´s good to keep practising them also (as a warm up). Keep also training all basic delays (toe, inside and clipper).

Here´s a quick list that what I think is essential:
1.Train all tricks both sides.
2.Basic toe moves: mirage/illusion, legover/pickup, atw both directions.
3.Clipper (do lots of same side clipper and opp clipper), also try hitting previous tricks from clipper set.
4.Start training BOPs (butterfly, osis and paradox mirage/illusion)
5.Don´t rush to higher tricks, master your foundation first.
6./7./8.Whirls, swirls, drifters, eggbeaters etc. "basic 3/4 adders"
6./7./8.Basic sets (pixie, stepping and atomic, maybe even quantum).
6./7./8.Spinning/ducking components.
?.Get Lavers/Quantums if you don´t have them already ;)

Watch trick tips videos that Anz has made from here, there are some verbal tips and great execution.

Remember this is just a hard outline, add your own tricks in middle if you feel so.

The most important thing is you are having fun.

hey man.... if you are seriously interested in freestyle, there are precious few moves than can be easily done with a woven bead bag, especially if you are just starting. my ideas: ask a friend with a sand bag to lend to you until your bags come. if you dont know any other shredders, then as was said before, just work on the most baisc moves and stamina, or do research on this forum, theres loads of information on here.

I suggest ya just practice kicking it, I used to hack with a bean bag and when I finally got a mr. sandbag it was easy kicking.
