I think that Glow in dark things are good for kicking in the circle when it's dark...Not for freestyle...

Hmm in my opinion it looks stallable. Too bad you have to recharge every 5 minutes.

Sometimes I get all obsessed with a move I'm inches away from hitting when it gets dark... That's incredibly frustrating. Epecially as the days are getting shorter again this bag could come in handy.
On the other hand; 20 bucks? No way. I'll just stick with my Daryl Genz bags and buy white/red colour combos or something...

Somebody hit the light so we can shred all day and night

Has the footbag arrived yet?

Yes, the bag has arrived.

In fact, the bag arrived weeks ago. I can't remember exactly, but I believe that it was delivered in under one week, a fact which I find fairly remarkable. I did not expect to receive the bag so quickly. So Seapa gets highest marks for customer service.

As for the bag, I cannot give it such a strong endorsement. Of course, the quality of a bag is relative to how you intend to use it. I would happily kick it around in a hack circle. I could enjoy playing with it for hours in a simple circle at a concert, if that was what I was in the mood for. However, if its serious freestyle that you are interested in, this bag is not recommended. It is significantly larger than your average high-quality freestyle footbag. Its not huge, but its clearly on the large side. The dark green panels seem to be made of a good quality ultra-suede. The white panels, though, (the ones that actually glow) seem to be something like vinyl. Its thin and soft, but its still not ideal freestyle material. The stitching is pretty good, but its not of very high quality. The bag is obviously not perfectly round. I am not too hung up on a bag's roundness. I don't believe that a bag needs to be perfectly round to play perfectly well. Still, the closer the better... In my opinion, the bag is too light, especially considering that it is filled to a fairly high volume. I mean, its not packed full, but its filled up significantly more than your average shreddable freestyle bag. And yet, larger and more full, its still lighter than my Richie Abshire footbags. To me this makes it feel too light for good kicking or shredding performance.
Lastly, the glow-in-the-dark properties are modest at best. It simply does not put off that much light in the dark. Not that even a much brighter bag would make a difference. I've tried before, and kicking in the dark or even under black-lights is hardly worth the effort. Good visibility is always essential for good footbag. However, if you insist on playing with a glowing bag, you would have to play in nearly compete darkness to see the bag glow. And if you wanted to play in near-darkness and still be able to see your feet a little, than it probably would not be dark enough to notice the glowing. It just doesn't glow the brightly.
