Mine came today! which surprised me because I ordered after the other ones which still haven't arrived. I swear mine smells like Blueberry pie! WOW has Footbags changed! this thing was so soft and ready to go it was not funny. Of course I live where we have been having T-Storms for the last few days ...

Back then a shoe mod was buying a pair of Vans

Welcome back to footbag! I'm curious as to what kind of tricks people did back then and when some of the advanced tricks started coming around??

Things were a lot different in the mid 80's when i first started playing. Where I lived the first exposure you got was with a Hacky Sack so for the ...

The Office is ok but the original one is the best!

Eh, the show blew ass. It's just another lame ass reality show, except in this one a lot of the people actually DO have talent. And they're judged by Moesha, Baywatch dude, and some wanna be Simon Cowl(sp).

After seeing how bad it was, I'm almost kinda glad I didn't see Lon up there getting dissed ...

IMO it depends on what your main game is. If you are just going to be in a circle or be a freestyler then you will have to learn with different size bags. I use to be into net and I loved the old pigskin Kangas from the late 80's that were hard as a rock but flew like a bullet off the foot!

If you haven't seen it already, you can show your daugher Shreditas.com to give her more inspiration, if needed. It's a site dedicated to girls who play footbag!

Someone else posted that and yes I will have her check it out. I am still waiting on my orders so I am getting anxious

you should start a footblog and keep us updated! by the way there is stil the funtastic summer classic every year (im not sure about this year but it hasnt been nay'ed yet) so that store holds a tourney every year.

Aww... dude, I can't take all the credit. Tom makes them too. We make a pile of them to sell whenever we're in the mood. You might have gotten one that Tom stitched or maybe it was both from me. We don't know which one's who's after they get added to the pile of cuddlebags.

I mailed yours today ...

I ordered one yesterday! Now I just have to wait

I am not sure but I think it started in the early 70's

Well I have to tell a story that is kinda long but I find very funny and mind opening. My daughter has seen pics of me playing footbag from the mid 80's and asked what it was all about. She is 12 and plays soccer so I thought this will be something that I can live my past and introduce her to a ...

Exactly, to me thats one of the things i think footbag should be about, if you need any help with anything, bags, tips anything let me know, ide be glad to help someone with a purpse like yours! getting people (like your daughter) into the sport is an awesome thing!

I am getting ready to post a ...

New Blance sells wides.. I wear a 13 4 EEEE and they are the only shoe that fits me

Thanks, the sport is so much different than it was back in the mid 80's but i look at it as a challenge. And most of all to teach my daughter the fun sport of Footbag.

Darn I wanted it but I like to use Paypal if Adam Schuler falls thorugh PM me and I will send a MO the same day

I just ordered a Mr. Sandbag so I am now covered. The sport has changed in 20 years.

that's like saying band-aids instead of medical gauze pads, roller-blades instead of in-line skates, ummmm...i cant think of any others on teh top of my head...

ya, but great story, i hope you'll still have some of that old magic, but i doubt it because of 20 years of rust (keep trying anyway)

Q ...

Darn I wish I would of read this first. I just ordered 2 Dirtbags yesterday for my bags in over 15 years to teach my daughter and to see if I can still do it. Ah well at least they are not expensive so I guess I will just have to oder the sandbags and just let the dirtbag rot when they get here.

Welcome! Man footbag sounds like it's really taking off in Oklahoma. What city do you live in?

Definitely get some Lavers. Once you have a pair you'll understand why you wouldn't want anything less to play footbag in! Also, developing both-sidedness is key, get in the habit of doing every both ...
