How To Perform A Diving Mirage

  1. Start with a controlled toe or clipper stall and set the footbag slightly above head height.
  2. Keep the set straight and predictable so the footbag passes close to your head.
  3. As the footbag rises, move your head under the footbag starting from the opposite side from where the set originated.
  4. Track the footbag with your eyes as it passes by your head at its peak.
  5. As the footbag begins to fall, use the same leg to perform an in-to-out Mirage dexterity.
  6. Complete the dexterity and catch the footbag on a controlled toe stall.

Tips For Learning

Set High

Set the footbag slightly higher than head level to give yourself enough time to move around it.

Move Your Head

Move your head to the opposite side of the footbag's path as it passes, rather than trying to move the bag around you.

Stay With The Bag

Keep your eyes on the footbag as you move underneath it and stay balanced so you are ready for the catch.
