Re: Footbag Analytics

Wow... this looks amazingly similar to the methodology I've been using for my own long-term blog analysis project: https://modified.in/images/x/funkychick.jpg Double Wow (Wow!) because I know how much work it is to meticulously score entire routines like that. Thanks for doing this! Triple Wow (Wow!...

Re: Footbag jokes

You peeps want anything out of the old "Hacktionary"? It's a slightly different format, but some of the definitions are still pretty funny.

Thirty Three Threes in Thirteen

As a one-off to Paul David Vorvick's "2013 in 2013" consecutives challenge, I decided to set a goal of hitting a string of at least 31 3-add moves in 2013, or "31 3's in '13" It's been a year to the day since I broke my ankle. But at the time, I was convinced it was just sprained real bad, so I just...

Re: Possible evolution/growth direction

A lot of different footbag moves have their own rhythm; the arc of the bag, the pattern of footfalls, the geometry of high and wide points in body movements. I'd be so lost without the beat of the music as a foundation for my movement. The "dance" is a deep, complex, and immensely rewarding challeng...

Re: Fogle on Mashable

Bits and clips have wound up everywhere at this point; there's an entire ecosystem out there that feeds off copying viral videos. Whatever view count is on YouTube, there are at least that many more views of copies out there. I've even already been parodied in a product commercial . I must say, I'm ...

Funky Chicken has 2nd Viral Video

In case anyone hasn't already heard, one of my videos ended up on the front page of Reddit for awhile: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVVWnYAlKxE[/youtube] And, of course, the defining Hack Man GIF that was made from it: http://www.gifsforum.com/images/gif/other/grand/8fa9cc9f242e1b515083d4...

Re: Funky Chicken Making a Comeback

LOL I'd probably be doing less kicks, and more harder tricks, if I could. But... I do love to play footbag, regardless. Thanks so much for letting me know it shows, and inspires. Footbag has been so incredibly rewarding to me, I can only hope it might provide something similar to others. Keep kicking!

Damn. The man who sells me my footbags throws down the gauntlet, with a loud clang. That was the "New Man" - the new blue & white bag you recently sent me, BTW. I will do my best not to disappoint. :D

Funky Chicken Making a Comeback

It's been awhile. I've had knee problems, then broke my ankle last fall. But I'm back to report I've got some shit going on: A serious, dedicated new footbag group, and a rally like this to cap a 3-1/2 hour footbag session.

The Gospel of Hacky Sack

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! I have been instructed by God to write The Gospel Of Hacky Sack. I welcome all submissions from fellow footbag players for verses, chapters, and other ideas. Humorous, poignant, tastefully irreverent... Let me know what about The Gospel Of Hacky Sack is important to you!

Thanks :D

This topic is a bit ironic, considering what just happened to me. I got T-boned by a huge bus yesterday. There was no reaction time. It was like... "SeeTheBusBOOM!GetHitByTheBus." I only *wish* footbag skills could have helped me there. However, there are numerous times when I've just dropped things...

Adding insult to injury

Just to make my week complete, I took my kids on a float trip this weekend, only I got T-Boned by the float trip outfitter's bus at the intersection right next to the outfitter. My kids are OK, I'm a banged up pretty good, didn't hurt the legs or knees at all though. Just wanted to make sure the who...
