when you goto the beach and all you stare at is your footbag.

when you play footbag in the rain.

when you play in a snowstorm in your winter footbag shoes.

Yes. With the toe mod. They're good for shovelling snow. ;)

....when you get in a nervous sweat when you think you lost your bag
....when you take a footbag to a wedding, formal and any other formal event :oops: (and play fiddle with it during the surmen (sp?)
....when your mum arrives at school to pick you up and your friends tell you shes there but you stay to shred then you stop and your friend takes your bag and gives it to your mum so you have no other choice but to leave.
Hopefully back one day.

... when you spend 5 minutes deciding which bags to bring with you any time you leave the house. (i put way too much thought into this)
... when you dig your own grave and read modified obsessively rather than studying for the final exam you have the next day.

oh hey! that's what I am doing RIGHT NOW! :lol: :cry:

When you're out with friends and you find yourself looking at someone's shirt because it looks like a really good footbag fabric...

And then she spots you looking.

!!

Ok, so that hasn't happened to me... But I do scout peoples shirts looking for fabric. :P

When your cartoon thought bubble has a footbag in it...

When you write papers on footbag...

When you have X amount of shred shoes piled in your room all modded different ways...

...when you mod your shoes...

If you bring your shoes to Prom "just in case."

If you stay up late waiting for a video to download

And once it's downloaded you watch it 4 times in a row just in case you missed something.

You become depressed if your bag has a hole

Your mood depends on how your game is doing for the day

Adding my own:

....your first reflex to danger is to do a multi-dex movement in the direction of the orgin of danger
....you have creid because you thought you lost your footbag
....you sleep with you footbags

in the begining i saw this and had to comment

"guilty" list for me
Zeke wrote:... if paying $30 for a freestyle bag is not a big deal but all your hacker friends are freaking out.

... if your Lavers are the ONLY pair of shoes you wear because you always want to be ready to play.

... if you "air shred" in public. <guilty>

... if you stare at peoples shoes judging them to be worthy for footbag or if you're just scanning for Lavers. <guilty>

... if you buy clothes thinking about whether you can kick in them or not. Or if they would still be comfortable with your freestyle gear under them. <guilty>

... if you're walking/driving around the city and you see an open area with lots of people and you think to yourself, "That would be a great place to shred". <guilty>

... if you play with people much younger or much older, more talented or less talented, just cuz you love to play. <guilty>

... if you e-mail or call some one you've never met to ask them if they want to have a shred session. <guilty(only twice though)>

... if some one you've never met e-mails or calls you to have shred session and you don't even hesitate to say yes.

... if you wear footbag shirts 6 out of 7 days of the week. One day is laundry day. <no cash.... would if i could>

... if you wear your footbag shirt (after you've shred in it) for another couple days and don't give a damn. It's your favorite shirt! <guilty(i have 1)>

... if commuting for hours to a shred session is routine.

... if you're the last person in your footbag club and you still show up to sessions just to play alone. <guilty>

... if you have multiple pairs of lavers to "experiment" on. <again, no cash>

... if the only thing left of your lavers is the sole and you've practically had to tape them on your feet to play.

... if choosing between new shoes or a new footbag is your greatest dilema. <guilty>

... if you start to think that the white lavers look better dirty and used than they do brand new.

... if you've woken up in the middle of the night doing freestyle moves in your sleep. <guilty(dont ask)>

... if you shreik every time a hacker does a toe pick-up with your freestyle bag. <guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><guilty><seriously guilty>

... if you've got multiple colored lavers to color coordinate with your shorts. <guilty(with footbags anyway)>

... if you name your son Blade. <not quite...lol>

That couldn't have been a dream... It seemed so real.

You know you've played too much footbag when you...

... spaz out on your teacher and take the footbag off her desk and then accept the ISS afterwords proudly.

... manage to get your 32 lost in lunch and go to each individual class that had that lunch, looking to see if anyone picked it up. (Yes, I did get it back, people laughed, I ignored, and attached a chain to my 32 from now on...)

... Watch the LovelySJFF_04_SICKNESS video more than twice a day.

... Manage to have only one school assignment and 100+ footbag vids in your school folder.

... Have stitched one individual footbag more than 15 times.

... Will illegally take a ladder and go onto the High School building to get your footbag back down during daylight because you can't survive untill nighttime to get it.

Ugh, that's all I got.

Sorry for the double post.

... when you get extremely pissed off because someone in your footbag circle just self-served, and you throw your shoe at him. Yea, we're weird, we fucking HATE self-servers, I can't stand em', I have no idea why. But my friend started a custom of throwing his shoe at anyone that self-serves in our cirlces.

... when two people both go for a sky-boot in an attempt to save the bag. The first on missed, and landes with one foot on the ground, and the other leg is on it's knee. And then the other dude, ends up sky-booting the wrong sack... Seen it happen twice.

... When you can manage to pull off a triple duck.

...When you can do green eggs and ham.

When your gf says i got a surprise plan for you tommorow but dont bring your footbag!!

When your legs only stop feeling sore when you shred.

when you adapt a new love/style for short shorts.
