Hacky sackers make me cringe.

Not to sound like an elitist. I just get SO scared when they walk past my footbag in fear they will try to tear it apart with their soles of death. I once had a "helpfull" passerby try to stylishly snap my fucking felix up to me with a toe scrape. When he fucked up first try I was already way into my death scream of horrid fear. Needless to say he did not try again as I dove to save my beloved footbag.

Twice


in each knee


then at his ankles


next at the wrists


and one by his ear, where the jaw hinges


EDIT:
ok, maybe not. But definately a lengthy admonishing

I voted on how crapy most of those other "tips" were. I'm gonna try and add some more after I've had more sleep...

First they call it a footbag, then a hacky sack. Make up your mind or just call it a footbag (also hacky sack is a swear word). That list is just sad. :lol:
Hopefully back one day.

The game MUST be restarted. I knew I was doing something wrong. :?

I love how these types consider lavers and 32's to be "cheating"
one time i was shredding with my buddy with a sandman( this was a while ago) and some random comes up and wants to play. I'm almost a nice guy so i say yes and the second i do a stall he's like "any one can do that with a empty bag like this...real hacky sackers use full bags" Then stalked off in a sulk. :roll:

Yeh I had someone tell me that my mr. sandman was cheating, luckily he was joking kind of, and I told him it was for footbag, not hacky sack :D

I've had this problem before, but if there happens to be a "hacky sack" around I gladly put on a regular pair of shoes and then start shredding with the hacky sack. Not quite as easy as with good shoes and a nice bag, but enough to satisfy most people.

I'm almost embarassed to say I was one of those people who said an emptier bag is cheating... And I have been enlightened. Lavers and Mr. Sandbags all the way :) .

Actually, now I don't really mind using a crochet bag filled up all the way once in a while... good for learning control I'd say :roll: .

1. Power hack tyler B.
POwer Hack is fun But DANgerous. OnLy PLay That WAY if YOu'rE A prOfessiOnal ...

6. Type of shoes gumy the hack master S.
Wear Vans shoes for best results. They are flatter and that makes it easier to control.

7. hacky sack Vince S.
if you searv the hacky sack with your feet it is easer for the next person to play the turn!!!
