Title says it all.

Anything that piss's you off, that is related to footbag, post here.

I hate it when you get a footbag with one very large panel on it.

When im in a circle greater than 5-6 people, i can never get warmed up, and i usually feel like crap when im kicking.

Dropping on infinity or strong osis. Seriously pisses me off. I do it a lot too, even though I can do like, 100 of each of those (well, like 30 osis, but meh)

-Having a clean bag fall in water, mud, or shit.
-Having someone throw a bag, mine or not...its annoying.
-After making 80-90 bags only having one main bag i shred with.
-After washing a bag and after it dries. When you go to pick up the bag its all crusty because you didn't get all the soap out.

All i can think of at the moment.

when im in a circle and the bag flys away from my feet, and instead of the next passerby bending over to pick it up, they kick it in my general direction, hoping itll roll all the way to me.

when a bag pills.

WHen your kicking around a bag and it flys somewhere you think you know where it went, but when you look over were you think you saw it its not even there.

when i see someone hitting a move all nonchalant that ive been drilling for weeks and havnt hit. (its also sorta cool though to see it done, so its alright)

-figuring out your "best bags" werent all that good in perspective to youre new bag, and wishing you had gotten it earlier.

-not knowing if a shop in eugene is OPEN or CLOSED!!!!!!!

-finding out youve spent way more money on a bag than you had to

-when a knot unravels in a bag
-having to repair a bag

When people don't have accurate or updated .org profiles

The recent move towards uploading videos only to youtube instead of hosting on .org. What? $20 too much to pay for a year of hosting and the shiny status of an IFPA member? I LOVE it when people have links to BOTH!

Support the IFPA!

The plant problem i fight with on my right side stepping ss clipeer and sidewalk, it kills me.

My quantums because they are 0.5 size larger than i need, and they have no fuckin grip so i have to spit on the fucking floor everytime.

Having holes in bags, and when filler falls out midstring

I'll admit that it's fun if you have a desk job or something and you can watch videos at work, or something. But at home I don't even bother watching most of them.

Wow is Super Nem still is a joke around here, I think I'll put that as my claim to fame.

My pet peeve is when people start drilling while waiting for the footbag to make its way around the circle again.

-When people assume I'm really good at or would be good at; soccer, breakdancing, etc

-Calling me or anyone in a circle "hackysack king", because I can do tricks and they've never looked up footbag before. Makes me feel so cheap and well not cool knowing there are infinitely better players out there

-Can't blame them for this due to ignorance, but telling me that I should use a crochet since it would be better.

-Buying a pair of rod lavers, getting someone to mod them and get into the whole footbag energy

THEN kill it by not trying to learn and just standing there.

There off my chest!

how do you guys get mad when someone calls you the hacky sack king? no one else likes compliments?

Magedark · Post by **Magedark** » 23 Nov 2007 18:49

They're being modest maybe? No shame in not having pride.

Eric Chang · Post by **Eric Chang** » 24 Nov 2007 00:32

I never said I got mad I just felt cheap. Over there are the likes of Clavens, Ednie, Honza, Vasek, Penske, etc, etc and they think I'm good?

I guess it could be modesty, but rather have a footbagger give me props rather than someone who doesn't know the sport call me the best in the sport

Magedark · Post by **Magedark** » 24 Nov 2007 01:34

I do agree. Someone with no experience in the sport can't really truly appreciate it.
