My first freestyle vid. Suggestions?
« on: May 01, 2011, 11:54: PM »
This is my first video after about 5 days of freestyling. I mainly focused on atw's with both feet. Please let me know what you think and give me suggestions on what i could improve on etc. Also, not making excuses but it is VERY windly outside lol.

Thanks

yea wind fuck shit up, but what you gonna do :(
i suggest you to train consecutive htw's & atw's both feet, and then combining them into combos. Also basic sitdowns and uppers. Keep it up :)

GOOOAL!  :PDT_Armataz_01_37:  Excellent video for a man who freestyles for 5 days ;) . But i would like to tell you something, it works for me great. Try to juggle with your fingers in the middle of the ball. When i do it, the ball isn't spinning (not perfect, but it spins very little), and it will help you to control the ball. At least it helped me :D

Or try it with your toes. I find that works best for me ;P

I find that when i juggle with my toes that is when i get the most spin on the ball (which i dont really want) I watched macca's juggling tutorial and he says to use the laces (sweet spot :P) and i find this works best for me. I broke my record today on juggling, got 325 :) I guess the more i freestyle the more i will improve my juggling and ball control :D

update* leg is fine now, no pain atall :)

That's probably because you're kicking the ball and not lifting it. Watch Rocco juggle if you don't understand what I mean.

I understand what you mean. I just watched a video of him. Is this how you juggle? Is this how most freestylers juggle as i have not noticed others doing it i dont think?

thanks

Use toes, even if a few top freestylers use the middle of their foot, I think that you get the most control when using your toes.

Im so confused right now lol. When you use toes do you mean you kick with your toes or you just kind of lift your foot when the ball hits it? I will post a video of what i am doing tomorrow and you can tell me if im doing it right. At the moment i am just lifting my foot and letting my toes hit the ball in the air and the ball is not spinning (which is good)

Also if someone could post a vid of them doing juggles that would be really appreciated :)

thanks
