New Trick List! And PATW Video.
I’ve been posting on footbag.org about triple ATW’s and all the sudden this freestyle soccer/football guy chimes in and posts some of the sweetest tricks I’ve ever seen… Check out this thread, eight posts down, by Jonathan Morris and watch the YouTube links…:

So I did a quick Google on PATW (Palle Around the World, e.g. Triple ATW) and found a whole host of new moves (it seems that most of these have been done with a footbag, but keep in mid these are nearly all kick style):

There’s definitely some unexplored territory here (at least as far as footbag tricks go). Though I do remember seeing a guy back at Worlds in Golden, CO years and years ago that freestyled with a net bag. I think he was just ahead of his time. COOL stuff!
For those of you too lazy to go to footbag.org, I’ll just post the clip of one of the original innovators of freestyle soccer/football, who as I understand it invented the trick, Palle (hence the name, Palle Around the World, or PATW):
(Edit: See my comment below as I was had confused Palle, with Pelé - the original and more famous legend in the sport)
Or, watch it on YouTube directly.
Peace.

Actually, I believe it is named after a Scandinavian freestyle football player named Palle. I talked with him awhile back, and he had done a lot of the standard 2-dex pixie / fairy stuff.

Thanks Mike. I edited original post to correct my mistake. The Palle above is not to be confused with the original Brazilian Pelé of legend. Tell the names are pronounced nearly the same to add to my confusion, but the one pictured above was an innovator in *freestyle* soccer/football.
