You can check the freestyle move list on this site. Its a 1 add.
You do a toe kick/stall, circle the bag with the same foot, and then kick/stall it with the same foot.
Ive only been kickin for a few months tho so this may be wrong, but this is what me and my friends refer to this trick as.

Around the world - Stall it on toe, toss the bag straight up, wrap your leg around the bad either from in to out or from out to in, than catch it on the same foot. It is a 2 add move. But don't think about adds, that will come later.

To add something possibly more constructive:

I remember when I was new to the game and thinking that it had to be *impossible* to move your legs that fast! It felt like there was barely enough time to do a single Around the World (let alone doubling that).

Well, it's a bit of an optical illusion. In reality you probably need to slow down more than anything. Relax. ATW is not a fast movement. You've got so much time! You still have to put energy into it, but focus that energy on maintaining your balance and keeping a good rythmn going.

The more you skool it, the more you'll find just how relaxed you can be. Practice doing it on both sides. Practice your "weak" side more than anything and slow down!! Smile

ok so i stall the bag on my toe, and what does it mean by circle it? Confused

Mike Hansen (wolfpac444) · Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2003 10:43 am Post subject:

After you have stalled the bag, you set (toss) the bag around knee height. You then take the leg that just set the bag and move it in a circle around the bag. Looking down, the motion of your leg looks looks something like this
/----\
| o |
\----/
where the "o" is the bag. It doesn't matter what direction you go in. It really helps to look at videos if you can't quite understand what "circling" (or dexing) the bag is.

oohh, i get in now..but after your leg does the circle do you stall the bag back on your toe? or starting hitting again Confused

Oops. I forgot about that part ;-] You stall the bag with the same leg that just circled it.

How difficult can we make an around the world stall...

Dale Jury (Frenzal) · Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2003 8:28 am Post subject:

Quite difficult i reckon start with setting from inside and catching on outside; raises the bar a bit.

Jared Wilbur (the_demon_reborn) · Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2003 5:26 pm Post subject:

personally, i think that around the world (the kicking version) is probably the easiest footbag move to master. even more so than a stall, or a clipper kick. its really easy to practice first without a footbag. just practice the circling motion, then practice the speed, then add the footbag. simple

So when you kick the footbag, and it goes up, your leg goes over it then under it, in a circle, before you kick it again? Is that right?

i'm really confused...
