Stats questionairre / "How old are you?" poll

Post by Muffinman »

(Does questionairre really have two "R"s?)
Here is another survey half inspired by Rory Dawson(?)'s age thread and Ken Somolinos' survey thread. Feel free to answer as many questions as you feel comfortable with.

Age: 22
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 150 lbs
Shoe size: 12 usa
Shoe preference: Slovenian mesh Lavers
Bag preference: J. Trevorr Hibbs
Attire: brown dress socks, blue umbro soccer shorts (about 2/3 thigh-length), pink bandana (matching pink shoe laces)
Other equipment: Towel, camcorder (with extra tapes and batteries), gloves (my hands are really sensative to cold...), anklet from Matt Cross, water bottle

Music: Slower music (especially while injured) -- experimental drum'n'bass and trip hop -- I think it helps smooth my style.
Preferred Surface: A rubber floor would be key, though I have never played on one -- I play on slippery hardwood floor in my house and cement outside. I like the feel of cement -- I always dream of playing outside during winter.
Mods: (Good one, Dave!) I cut out the inner mesh on all surfaces and the walls around the toe box (not the eyelets). I think that's all. I also have Spenco sport insoles and laced my shoes the way World Footbag told me to.

Years Playing: 6ish at last count
Dominant Side: right
Sideways or Goofy: I'm not really sure how this works...
Level of Shred: Guiltless
Average String Length: 10ish?
Ideal Circle Size: 3
IFPA Member: No
Club Member: Hackrifice
Stretches: I don't know how to describe them -- basically just groin/hip flexor stretches


Feel free to add more questions. This was very spur of the moment but I don't feel like sitting and thinking of more questions before posting this. I can edit the original post if you suggest a question I like :p
