First of all welcome to the site and world of freestyle, you are about to embark on a magical story of enlightenment where dreams soon become reality and anything is possible. There will be highs and lows and some times where you just think ah fudge ems! But with practice you will get to where you want to be.


 :biggrin:

The clip was nice, i also started out with those 2 tricks. You look like you got your juggling down which is a good start. Now work on the 3 fundamental tricks of lower freestyle atw, htw and crossover. I don't see why you cant try these tricks right now there are plenty of tutorials on youtube and if you get stuck you can always ask for help in the beginner questions thread in freestyle talk.

Your feedback was enlightening to read and I thank you for it being so constructive.  On the subject of the ATW, i try and try and try and keep trying but never seem to land it haha but like you said if i keep practicing i will get there, so much thanks to you man.

hey bro, ur doing pretty good.
how many keep ups can you do.

if you can do like 70-100 comfortably u will be able to do atw htw and stuff a little easier, practice that

take that pic of ronaldinho offfffff,  hes just not that good at freestyle..
anyways

y exactly did you post this vid, my first vid sucked too but i could actually do a few atw in a row and wat not,,,

ur doing good and stuff but its sorta pointless to post that kind of vid, wait till u get a bit better and can make a decent vid you know, but do wat u want that just how i feel.

good luck in ur freestyle adventure..

Well i really don't care how good ronaldinho is lol i still think hes great as an overall football player.  I respect your opinion that i shouldn't of put up a vid. and maybe your right but i just wanted to put something up to show people where i'm at so they can give me some advice.  And as far as keep ups i can do over 200 but after 200 i don't even want to count so idk exactly how much.  And I would like to say thanks for the lucky :)

not bad for a first vid kid. keep up the good work and keep the ronaldinho pic. he is a great footballer, and this is both a football and a freestyle forum. for atw, since no one else has, i'll give you some tips. the most common mistake with atw that people do is the the touch the ball than they try and go around the ball. to do it correctly you should begin going around the ball with your touch. depending on which side you prefer, either take the touch with you big toe and go around the ball to the inside in one motion. to the outside is the same just take the touch with you little toe.

I was about to say the same thing about atw  :cursing:

good first vid ma'e
remember, always practice every move till you master them
style in freestyle football is VERY important
even if you do 50 atws or more but with poor style like you've got no control or you bend your knees too much, I don't think anyone will be interested in the vid.
dedicate yourself to freestyle practice
it's worth it  :thumbsup:
and Ronaldinho pwnz as a footballer, keep it
is there a sig with him in AC Milan? there should be.
