Ok, recently, I decided to pick the Mr. back up and kick a little. After realizing that it has been 2 years since I got on the site, I decided that I'd come back on.

Now, I'm tired of freestyle and just want to get the BEST KICKING bag. My Mr. Not only is half empty (pessimist ftw), its extremely tiring to kick compared to a heavier, bouncier bag.

What would be the best for kicking, and maybe to show off every now and then? Nothing major, just simple freestyle, so nothing like an Abshire would be needed, let alone a 55...

Thanks!

One of the most fun bags I've used recently just to kick is the Streetfighter from Footfighter. Fuller, rounder, and heavier than the Mr.

Where could I find a Streetfighter? I can't find them anywhere.

Just google footfighter & see if any of the results have streetfighters in stock.

If you can't/don't do online purchases, I don't know what to tell you. All the commercially available bags I've hacked with (Dirtbag, Jester, Sandmaster) have the same drawbacks you mentioned in your post above (they are filled with sand which will gradually drain out & leave you a weathered husk).

Right, I can buy online, but after a search, the only thing I got was of one site getting them in stock soon...

email kolosport@videotron.ca

I believe that he is the NA distributor of footfighter products, and he'd be glad to sell you one.

they're cheap! you should buy a few.

Wow, ok, I had seen his info on the site, but never a website. If it wasn't for the website, I'd we weary of ordering off him. I contacted him about materials, but if you respond faster, it'd be easier. Does he use Ultrasuede/Facile, or something else for his Kolo Sport bags? They are much cheaper than the streetfighter, and I'm on a VERY tight budget, so I'm going to get the cheapest thing I can that's good.

you'll notice that streetfighters were recommended, and kolosport bags were not...

KS bags are not facile. neither are streetfighters, however, they ARE made of amaretta suede which is a great non-facile material for freestyle bags.

Thats perfectly understandable. I am ordering the Streetfighter soon, and when I get it, I will come back and let everyone know how I like it!

Thanks Matt, Erik, and Frank.

Funny, it's truly awsome that you stuck around all this time. Then again, when I came here I was like 13... lol

It come exactly 5 shipping days after I ordered.

It's a dark blue and some off-white color, and it scares the crap out of me.

Why?

After reading the paper it came with (provided by Footfighter) it seems less durable than Facile...

Is this true?

Anyway, it kicks AMAZING compared to even the MR., and I am playing with Starter shoes (I should have mentioned that...), and I can stall a lot easier than before (inside, outside, and toe, can't clipper stall yet, and need to fix my posture and everything on those).

All in all, I am very pleased with the selection. Thanks guys!

Also, to Janis, I will probably get a net bag so that when I play with friends (like I was originally, but no, someone *looks at matt* had to make me want to play again with their vids... and for some reason, watching you play Floyd on an acoustic made it so much funner... Wink

) I won't have to worry about them toeing it or slamming it, etc.
