Yes learning to stall is best done with sand. Also practicing bare foot also helps tremendously. You learn to stall and kick with the uneven surface of the foot, when you put on flat top shoes or sandals you will be amazed at what you are able to do. Warning, practicing barefoot is very frustrating!!!!
There is an players organisation. There are world championships and a high number of local and national tournaments each year. It may be a small sport but definitely a real and well organized sport.
That has not yet been decided for this year. The last was held on July 29- Aug 4 in Poland. You can find more information about upcoming tournaments at footbag (dot) org
Theres a lot more variety in freestyle footbag then there is in freestyle soccer, the footbag is easier to stall but its only so that the freestyler can hit more complex moves
freestyle footbag is NOT overtaken from freestyle soccer, freestyle footbag came from the original game of net footbag, its basically a game of volleyball only played with your feet and with a footbag. freestyle football is based only on dexterities, spins, and sitting tricks, footbag has so many more elements such as paradox, symposium, stomping, shooting,
yeah... it's just as easy to screw up in hacky sack or freestyle footbag as it is in soccer juggling, regular juggling, trick dribbling (in any sport, though I had basketball in mind), trick shots (same as last parenthesis), etc etc. Every sport has it's difficulties, none are easier or harder than others, just different
what about ducking, spinning, shooting, swirling, paradox, symposium, stepping I haven't seen any freestyle soccer players even began with most of those footbag elements
I dig the shred, and I've been seriously footbagging for 4 years myself, but I'm not a fan of the title. Why hate on footballers? It's like our brother sport. Vasek is beast at both.
It's like he's dancing to the music, I liked it!! But, you know, I don't like football (soccer) either (most of the time it bores me) but I have enough sense to admit that it doesn't sucks... football is impressive, from the beauty of a good match to the social pull it has... It definitely doesn't sucks :P. By the way, is footbag considered a sport? (just asking)
Qbhindu93 honestly ivan0v93 has a point the video is saying that soccer sucks..which btw isn't true and i do play hacky sack but only to improve my juggling skills as a soccer player and in all reality soccer is much harder... i'd really love to c this kid do half the things a soccer freestyler can do lol
i dont belive putting soccer down in the title is a good idea either but hacky sack is a sport and i think it takes just as much skill to get good. just look at this video i think you should apreciate that because i am impressed with soccer freestylers so you should give foot bag a second look there are similiar tricks
who cares what he looks like all that matters is hes better than you so get owned, sit down, and take notes cuz ull never be as good as this guy no matter what he looks like.
you should be getting over 1k with a footbag if you can do 52 with a soccer ball.... i have a tuff time getting 10 with a soccer ball but I can get around 500 hacks
well its like a small sport and what validates something as a sport. bases? a goal? a team? maybe. but in the end they all are just games right? well not really because those who truley love these games glorify it by calling it a sport. and though you call it a game. others only disagree because they feel stronger about it. but i guess i dont play i sports i just hack. i dont even wanna get into skateboarding and all that technical crap. so whatever you want to call it really it is what it is.
much harder with a SOCCER BALL ! Because THEY BOUNCE !!!!!! Just check out "Palle" on utube and you will see what freestyle soccer is !!! Freestyle soccer is NOT suck.
lotr, it takes real talent to play hacky sack. Until you've actually tried anything more than simple kicks and foot stalls in hacky sack, don't come here acting like soccer is the only sport in the world. Also, in response to that last comment, basketball is way better than soccer any day, sorry, but it's true :)

Nice.. it's like juggling with your feet.

You ever heard of soccer freestyle?
give him a full sized football and he won't know what to do.
ur right thats wat i think as wel
thats at least a 36 pannel bag,i know my footbags fuckers
u know soccer is a lot like this. its like a alternation to it
Hmm, looks like he's useing a sandhack to me, I personally perfer a softer hack, but its a lot harder
yeah... it's just as easy to screw up in hacky sack or freestyle footbag as it is in soccer juggling, regular juggling, trick dribbling (in any sport, though I had basketball in mind), trick shots (same as last parenthesis), etc etc. Every sport has it's difficulties, none are easier or harder than others, just different
his shorts are high so he can bend his knee's faster.
Footbag is sooooo much better in my opinion, then soccer freestyle.
just telling the truth man
There are many more move possibilities with a footbag than with a soccer ball. I'm not saying soccer sucks, I'm just defending footbag.
what about ducking, spinning, shooting, swirling, paradox, symposium, stepping
I haven't seen any freestyle soccer players even began with most of those footbag elements
thats crazy i can do like 500 with a soccerball but like with a hacky sack, ive only tried it a few times its hard
I dig the shred, and I've been seriously footbagging for 4 years myself, but I'm not a fan of the title. Why hate on footballers? It's like our brother sport. Vasek is beast at both.
Good and all but now lets see him do it with a regular $3 plastic pellet filled sack.
u have nice soccer legs
I would like to apologize, soccer and footbag are both great sports and none are better than the other. soory if i offended anyone.
btw thestrgod, 1:25 theres the bag :P
i call it both :P
Sounds like someone is jelous...
this was NOT taken from freestyle footbag, in anyway it was invented in oregon in the 1970's.
whats the song
once you are good at soccer, this is REALLY REALLY easy!
Oh...he would. He'd throw it away and get his real ball back. ;)
If tehre wasnt foot ball there wood be never hacky sacks !!!
It's like he's dancing to the music, I liked it!! But, you know, I don't like football (soccer) either (most of the time it bores me) but I have enough sense to admit that it doesn't sucks... football is impressive, from the beauty of a good match to the social pull it has...

How is this game scored and won?
Qbhindu93 honestly ivan0v93 has a point the video is saying that soccer sucks..which btw isn't true and i do play hacky sack but only to improve my juggling skills as a soccer player and in all reality soccer is much harder... i'd really love to c this kid do half the things a soccer freestyler can do lol
Search soccer freestyler and U might change your mind. I'd like you to search Leiki, Touzani, or Palle, Thanks.
i dont belive putting soccer down in the title is a good idea either but hacky sack is a sport and i think it takes just as much skill to get good. just look at this video i think you should apreciate that because i am impressed with soccer freestylers so you should give foot bag a second look there are similiar tricks
yeah soccer is easier for me
but i still footbag though
who cares what he looks like all that matters is hes better than you so get owned, sit down, and take notes cuz ull never be as good as this guy no matter what he looks like.
give a football playig this and he wont know what to do with it.
you should be getting over 1k with a footbag if you can do 52 with a soccer ball.... i have a tuff time getting 10 with a soccer ball but I can get around 500 hacks
OK I can be wrong so sorry man ! I think they all have strengths and weaknesses . But I don't think soccer deserves to be called "suck" :(
well its like a small sport and what validates something as a sport. bases? a goal? a team? maybe. but in the end they all are just games right? well not really because those who truley love these games glorify it by calling it a sport. and though you call it a game. others only disagree because they feel stronger about it. but i guess i dont play i sports i just hack. i dont even wanna get into skateboarding and all that technical crap. so whatever you want to call it really it is what it is.
???
ha you cant do this with a real soccer ball so you have to use a tiny ball because those are what your used too
much harder with a SOCCER BALL ! Because THEY BOUNCE !!!!!! Just check out "Palle" on utube and you will see what freestyle soccer is !!! Freestyle soccer is NOT suck.
obviously your english isn't very more easy than football
LOL man that's harder than soccer........can u soccer with a small ball?
wow its really amazing
and FTR it's a guy
lotr, it takes real talent to play hacky sack. Until you've actually tried anything more than simple kicks and foot stalls in hacky sack, don't come here acting like soccer is the only sport in the world.
Also, in response to that last comment, basketball is way better than soccer any day, sorry, but it's true :)
Make fun of his shorts cuz thats the only thing you can make fun of? ;p Haha, good vid, nice job.
yeah, but who cares... this is pretty cool.
Very more easy ? Try to hit any of these moves before you say that ;P
