i had heard something about a leg box of something and was wondering what it was. like i have very short legs and i was told i have a small leg box or something. i was told i am built like some other guy that plays . also i have noticed that there are not a lot of fat guys playing. well i am 5'8" and have a inseem of 30 ,weight of about 200. ok i will put it this way i am goofy looking. size 13 shoe. my upper body is huge. i work out ever day so it happens. but when i look at my self in the mirror i wonder if any one eles is out there?
well it is lat aned i have about 5 hours of work to do so i am out of here for tonight.

Psh, I'm like 175 now but i used to be like 200ish when i started. Check out some old footage of Eric Windsor and then some new footage of him.

im 190- 195 right now... it doesnt look it cus im 6'1, but im big. I was kickin last summer around 175 - 180 moves were easier i think in a sense but since i was kinda starving myself i weasnt able to go as long.. now i feel much healthier and im trying to loose the weight the right way by eatin right and workin out. I think weight can be an issue only with certain people.. like rob said.. Eric W. used to be huge and still shredded like a mad man! Its all about your style.

Man im a skinny little shit!
155 pounds and im 6'2" (Actually 6'2" not overexaggerating)

Though ive never heard of leg box but im assuming its like Baseballs strike zone, The taller you are the more area your legs have to go around the bag, But then the faster the bag falls at the end.

I'm 5'11" and only 125 lbs. A leg box, I believe, is the area where you can perform dex's. For example, Chad has a huge leg box because he is so tall while Ryan has a smaller leg box because he is smaller.

I am 5'10 i think. And 145 I think

I'm like 5'10" 140. Dude lexiticus, you think you're skinny...my friend Steve is actually 6'6" and he weighs no more than 140. Seriously. It's ridiculous. Yeah that wasn't fully pertinant...but good enough.

Wow, I'm reading through here and no one here is under 5'10''. Does that mean I'm screwed, being a small 5'4'' 130 lbs. asian? Are there alot of shorter people on the footbag scene? or are they generally pretty tall?

And unless I'm miscalculating, or I just have very poorly fitting pants i also have an inseam of 30. I guess i just have long legs?

There are alot of short guys playing. Penske is like 5'4 I think and he's sooo goooood. The small guys seem to move alot faster than the tall ones when they shuffle too...

Bono · Post by **Bono** » 02 Oct 2002 16:52

yeah the shorter guys move faster because they don't set as high.

i look like a damn grollia. i have a arm span of 6"3". well i have 3 friends at 5'4" taht have the same inseem so you maybe on the right side. but i am not fat at all. ok i might have 7 lbs that i could cut off but not much more. i mena muscule wise. bench 245 and squat 410. curl 170. so i am not small

OneWeak · Post by **OneWeak** » 02 Oct 2002 18:25

Bench 245 is a SHITload...I can barely do the bar alone...
Chris Pinkus isn't too tall I don't think...he's damn good.

I'm 6'2" and 185-190 lbs. Pretty big guy... not many people mess with me although I'm a pacifist! It throws most people off... two years ago this guy picked a fight with me and I stood there and let him take shots at me but I didn't fall and we broke a door in the locker room and it was pretty funny. He was a homophobe and I called him gay or something just to see what he'd do and he got PISSED and started charging. I just kept saying "Dude what the fuck do you think you're doing!?" and he eventually stopped... after he pushed me into a door.

easier to see the bag when your torso is pretty much two-dimensional

Juan · Post by **Juan** » 02 Oct 2002 19:45

5'10'' - 145lbs
just like a bunch of you guys

my upper body's pretty small (not by choice),
but i think it may make it easier to lift compared to guys wit heavier torsos

Matt · Post by **Matt** » 02 Oct 2002 20:00

Haha I guess Im somewhat of a pacifist myself. I just cant see any point in hitting people for no reason (usually there is none). I cant punch someone outright either. I go with submission holds

Grabbing them by the oesophagus (breathing hole), not by the whole neck works really well too

Oh and on the topic, I'm 5'9" (185-odd cm, for all us metric people) and somewhere between 85-95 kg (multiply by 2.2 for pounds, I don't like the crap measuring system that you lot us). Most of that weight is lower torso upper leg, lower legs are reasonably sized so lower leg dexing isn't too much trouble, having fun with getting my upper legs out of the way with upper leg dexes.

So I'm probably in the average height category, and in the slightly chunky weight section but hey you test me on that I'll sit on you

(well bentonedge would be able to lift me off I guess)

well im 180cm (is it 6 foot?) and got 75 kg. since i seriosly started footbagging i lost something round about 5-6 kg of weight. footbag is the best fatburner ever! fuck for aerobic and stuff like that. we should bring up footbag to fitnessgyms!
though im quite tall i got very short legs.

max · Post by **max** » 03 Oct 2002 07:18

well I think that the steps/exercices in aerobics are very similar to the ones done in footbag.
difference is, any moron can become an "aerobics expert" in a matter of months (i think). Not quite the same story for footbag, you need to be as synchro, quick and coordianted but also pretty damn agile

Bono · Post by **Bono** » 03 Oct 2002 11:35

yeah and just developing those traits can can months!
