Sweating while playing

This thread makes me think of Peter Irish's section from Natural Born Kickers, where the lighting is just right so you can see the sweat fly off of him each time he spins. It's pretty awesome/gross.

I sweat.

ok. i thought this thread was a joke at first, hence my first post. Cause honestly, who doesnt sweat while shredding? Its a tough physical activity. Sweating is a given.

lol it was more of a thread to see if the majority of people sweat enough to get their bags wet and mushy. when i shred i dont get to that point so i was just wondering.

I sweat, I've had moments like Colin spoke of when spinning into a trick and you slowly watch the beads of sweat fly from your forehead right into the nearest person...

anyway, my bags haven't been getting very bad from the sweat, if I play topless though the bag'll obviously come in contact with my sweat more, which means mucho mushy-'ew'-ness.

I sweat a lot and worst in summer. Ednie definately takes the crown for sweatiest person I've ever shredded with though.

I sweat so much when I shred. I can't say I've ever gotten the bag wet, but i make sure I have to make sure to bring a towel because sweat gets in my eyes and its a real pain.

I sweat....a lot.

Sometimes so much that not only does my bag get soaked, but my hands prune. Pretty much every session my shirt is totally drenched. Of course I play outside in Vegas. That might be my problem...

I sweat a lot, but its probably due to my very low amount of stamina.

If I exercised every day, I would think I wouldn't sweat so much, or sweat too early, into footbag sessions.

The thinner I get, the less I sweat.

I sweat so bad I can wring out my shirt and projectile sweat on players 10 feet away.. no joke

i have to wring out my bandan at least every 20 minutes. if i keep a shirt on while playing it usually gets soaked to the point where it fells like there is a small person hugging me. it gets bad but sweating can be good for you if your properly hydrated.

my bag only gets wet when i play inside.

I play a variety of sports and live in the heat and extreme humidity of GA and the sweatiest I have ever been in my life was shredding in the upstairs lobby of the dorms in Montreal during Worlds '04. There was not a single square inch of clothing, hair, or skin on my body that was not saturated. My hands got pruney, and solidified white sweaty goo was collecting under my fingernails.
It rocked.

I sweat a lot, but if you sweat a lot when you are playing just drink a beer

or don't drink any water, and you'll run out of water to sweat

Re: Erik Chan- I just played with him the other day at the airport on his way to Europe, and he didn't want to be all sweaty for his flight, so he just kicked very very lightly. But it did no good... his hair was still pretty drenched. haha. Me on the other hand, I just had to take the bus/subway home afterward, so I played as usual and got nice and sweaty. Can't say my bag is ever wet from shred though.

The best (or worst) I've ever seen was Aaron Tenant. He was a bagger here in Ontario, not sure he really plays anymore... but he's like 6'8''! Just one HUGE mofo. So not only was there a GIANT puddle below him whenever he would shred, but he sprayed so much when he spun that we nicknamed him "The Sprinkler"!

This one time I was talking about him and something I said was misheard as "Whore Fountain"!

So he's "Aaron 'The Sprinkler' 'Whore Fountain' Tenant."

Yeah, I'd recommend keeping your distance if you ever play with him.

LOL actually Aaron was who I was talking about. I played with him a couple times while at school in Waterloo last semester, he still plays at least occasionally..

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 01 Aug 2008 20:08

HAHAHAHAHA! That's awesome! I haven't seen him in years, I'm glad he's still kickin around. Literally.
