"In this video, we're going to be talking about what I call the foot stall. This is a medium to medium-hard trick. It really depends whether you used to play hacky sack as a kid. The foot stall is exactly what it sounds like, and I'm going to drop the ball from my hand, and catch it on my foot. Now hopefully I can do this without dropping it, but let's see; something like that. So if you see, I caught it on my foot. This I drop from my hand, and catch the ball with my foot. Now, when you incorporate this into a juggling pattern, you first have to get a very clean foot stall. But if you put it into a pattern, you can just make a drop, but not actually drop it, pick it back up, and keep going. People will be impressed; think like, oh no, you messed up, but not really. It's crazy, but anyway, to learn this, you really have to get some bean bags that are pretty loose. It's a lot harder to do this with a solid sphere than it is with a very loose bean bag, or something that just won't roll around at all. You also want to really practice on cushioning the catch with your foot. If you notice, every time I drop it on my foot, I bring my foot up to here, let the bean bag hit, then slow it down like that. So you really just need to put all this together, put it into a juggling pattern, and get that stall just like that, kick back up into the pattern."
