Freestyle Sets
The "new school" of freestyle involves a tremendous number of moves
which are essentially variants of older moves, where the player
performs additional difficulty (e.g., dexterities and spins) while the
footbag is on its way up (at the beginning of a move, just
after the set) before performing the remainder of the move.
In the "old days", most tricks (but not all) were done with the bag
on its way down.
There's a name for almost every trick you can
possibly do with the bag while it's on its way down. Since the
explosion of the concept of "prefix" tricks -- e.g., tricks on the
way up -- freestylers have begun to refer to new school moves using
one of quite a few prefixes to denote almost entirely separable
motions done with the bag on the way up, before doing an otherwise
standard trick on the way down.
Below is a list of most of the currently used terms for tricks on the
way up -- these act as prefixes that can be put in front of trick
names to indicate the more complicated versions as described below.
Because these are done on the way up, in many cases not affecting the
fundamental execution of the trick on the way down, most freestylers
think of these as "sets".
This list was compiled with much effort by Chris Holden on the freestyle
discussion list. Many thanks go not only to Chris but to all those who
have contributed to it. Please send corrections or updates directly
to Chris so he can help maintain this list. We will keep it in synch
here whenever it is updated. To contact Chris, see his
