Thank you for this video! I still struggle with rotation in hips and knee but hackysack is improving that! I'm great with a partner but I suck solo. Gonna keep at this thing.
They called me the "One Footed Wonder" lol. I could go forever with the inside of my right foot. This was back in 8th grade. I'm 35 now idk if I still got it now. Next time I get paid I'm thinking il get back into it.
Dude you make it look easy!! Do you recommend using an old school hacky sack official footbag from the old days or not? I can't inside kick for shit. My legs just won't bend inward at all lol. I mean this is hard. Good upload! Thanks!
Thanks! A lot of the older hacky sacks are very firm and very full, and while these are still fun to kick around, they are really hard to learn with. When I'm teaching kids I'll usually use softer sand filled bags. These are not as durable and won't last as long, but much easier to keep control and learn with. Keep practicing and even stretching if you need to, it gets easier!
I just started learning last week. I have 2 types of footbag: 8 panel Dirtbag and a 16 panel Sir Hemp Sand Lord. I have noticed 8 panel bags are extremely hard to keep up compared with 16, but 8 panel has better control as softer and doesn't bounce/roll so much. Is it best for a newbie to start with an 8 or 16 panel? I am just practising basic kicks/hack every day.
It's hard to say what number of panels are superior, as often it's down to personal preference. The construction of the bag and what/how much it's filled is going to be more important to the control you get. Often I recommend 8 panel bags as a starting point for new players because they are generally cheaper. I used all sorts of different types of bags when starting out. Go with whatever works best for you.
@@ReDRockeT111 I see there are plastic, sand, metal and mixture filled bags. Is there one that's better or is it personal choice? Also is there one filling that is more suited to newbs?
Oh ok I'd never seen a bag like it and figured I was a dragonfly bag. pple keep saying sandmaster is a good beginner bag but I used to play when I was younger ( im 20) and I'm relearning but the only thing I honestly think they're good for is stalling! On another note around How much would you charge for a bag.
Learning the skills in this video? It's hard to remember actually as it was a long time ago. I would guess 2-3months to have gotten consistent. But everyone is going to learn at different rates.
The bag used is a custom made show bag. To be honest its not the best bag to begin learning with, I just use it for videos because its big and easy to see. If you want a good one that I recommend and sell for beginners, send me an email - redrocket111@gmail.com - and I will sort one out for you.
This is the first good hackey sack tutorial I've come across.
Nice
Heheha
The part about the toe kick where you said about lifting your knee slightly but also flicking your foot really helped me get it
Thats great, glad it helped!
Thanks for the tutorial! I just made 113 foot bags for a school. I'm linking your tutorial so the kids can learn the skills.
Rhonda Rajaofera you should cut it the part where he says red rocket
Thank you, I haven't played in years so I'm having to re-learn.
This is one of the best tutorials on youtube!
So you alive?

I have to be honest, this is a pretty good little tutorial. well done
i just bought a footbag and it's superfun with buddies but a bit hard :D
Another kiwi? Cheers for the vid dude. Learning hacky during quarantine.
Yep, kiwi. You're welcome. Good use of your quarantine time.
Thank you.
this is REALLY helpful! nuts that the vid is 12 yrs old. also, those green shoes are rad. want a pair. :D
Great video liked it but one question can we use a diy hacky sack is it ok
Yep, if you can make one yourself then go for it!
Is footbagging with barefeet fine ?
Yes, but its generally more difficult as correct footwear provides flat surfaces to hit/catch the bag with.
Phil Morrison Ok, thanks! :D
i dont like doing it in shoes i think its esaier with bare feet but every one has thier own opinoin just put on your socks and do it
Nice tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Jose!!!
Your profile picture reminds me of Walter White from Breaking Bad

Do you need special shoes to do an outside kick because everytime I kick it outside it just seems to be going out and not up?
Are you alive?

Great. Can you recommend a beginners footbag for indoor use so I won't break anything ? Thanks
Most won't break anything. I always play mime in the livingroom and have never broke anything.

What bag is that? I have a sand master and doing toe kicks and knee hits with it is impossible

Nice
What is better learning to kick the footbag in different ways at the same time or one by one?
Learn a variety. It's more fun that way too.
Good tips Salad Fingers
its like flappy bird frustration levels
Okay I try this out I used two get 7 or 8 in a row but I suck at this try playing this game high it's alot runner that way
When i toe kick the bag just flies across the room. HALP.
Andrew Gray same here
Same
I try to curl my toes back and it stops the ball from flinging
Kick by kinda jumping into it. Not by extending your knees.
Have you tried just lifting you foot instead of kicking?
How long did it take you to reach the skill level you are at in the video?

Phil Morrison Thanks
this has been doing this for months probaly
What shoes do you recommend?
Adidas Rod Lavers
Light up sketchers
Crocks or high heels

@@phoenixofthedarkness4867 Yep
NIce
When I hit the hacky sack with my knee it barely bounces back up at all.
you have to put more force to it
You can't exactly just flick the ball with one finger and expect it to move a meter.
Translate that into your kick.
