Sitdown Help????

[matt2710]

Im improving with my uppers and my lowers, but ive never tried sits.

I tried to do it today but i could hardly juggle, let alone do any tricks.

Has any one got any pointers on how to juggle whilst sitting.

i know its silly but its really hard lol

Try to use both feet rather than just your strong foot to do kick ups. I like to do small and soft kick ups rather than hitting the ball harder.

Then once you feel you can do a fair amount try doing x-over-x-over,

Best advice is practice in a tiny room so you dont have to keep getting up, the ball will always bounce back to you. Also make sure you are really comfortable with your juggling otherwise when you do tricks you will look like you have no control.

When i started doing sits I watched nam, the way he juggles is pretty good so check it out.

using a small room is  a good idea.
when u juggle its not like regular stand up juggles were u turn ur toes up. keep ur foot flat and ur toe pointed forward hitting the ball with ur laces. thats my best advice.

dont hit the ball to hard and use both feet/ definitly practice with both feet, even if its hard

it all comes with practice i sucked at sits and in like a week i could do longish combos,,, just sit down and practice for like 45 min at least a day and it will work out for u.

just curious, what is your deal with sitdowns. i've seen you post more than once that sits are easy and boring. well i would say that sits are just as hard as any aspect of freestyle, and probably the hardest to get used to. if you don't like them either practicing or watching i understand, but dissing the style is silly and something only someone who doesn't know much about the sport would say.

sit downs are boring? damn, it's feels f!@#ing amazing when you accomplish even a 5 move combo  :rockit:
seriously
advice is just to practice with both feet
keep your feet flat, just like d5fox said
45minutes is enough a day
I bet after a week of practice you'll be doing 10 move combos  :thumbsup:

[ikron]

keep ur feet flat??not necessary...but probably the better way to juggle sitdown

ok thanks guys  :cheers:

my best advice on sd is .. practice up against a wall, and to learn to juggle try this until you can consistently do it .. juggle once on your left, once on your right, then twice on left, twice on right, then three on left etc.. all the way up to 6 and the come back down again. Thats how i was thought... by mr t-baggy himself
