The freestyle bags are all "mashine made" and there are none with pellets.

The Footbag Freaks Shop offers balls for the fun and trend sport footbag. Footbag is also known as Hacky Sack, comes from the United States and is getting more and more popular all over the world.

We want to promote the footbag sport and we want to support its world wide triumphal procession. Footbag is the sport that brings us together. Get involved today!

yeah. melissa's right. they ARE. BTW, if you want to promote something, I suggest you research everything and know what you are representing inside and out. BALLS? BALLS? WHO THE FUCK CALLS THEM BALLS? If the the sport is clearly dubbed footbag, then it should be called bags. Baseballs are called balls because they ARE what their sport represents. YOu don't see a baseball and call it "base-spherical-object-in-which-one-throwns-at-a-batter." Same for footbag. Oh well....at least they offer Mr.'s

We've seen multiple companies trying to promote footbag, whether it is to better the sport or just so they can make money. Most of the time they are not trying to appeal to us, but rather the general public who knows shit about footbag and will buy the 12342 panel bag just cause they say its awesome. There's no real need to criticize them, we know there are better alternatives, and we use them. No biggie.

Hello!
I'm the owner of footbag-shop.com .

@peanutbuterboy
There are only two "mashine made" footbags in the freestyle section; the rest is stitched by hand.
Footbags with pellets can be found in the circle-kicking section.

@lightingbolt
Thank you very much!
You don't have to offend us. Nobody forced you to like our footbags or the shop and its texts. Your behavior is unfair and a bit crude.

First of all: I'm not new to footbag. But I see no problem to describe them as a small ball. The quoted text is just an explanation for beginners.

Also, more than about 70% of the people type the word "hacky sack"(R) to a search engine when they want to find out something about the sport. It would be very uneconomic to depreciate the word.

By the way: As you see, my English isn't that good. I never find the time (or somebody) to translate the origin at www.footbag-shop.de . Mostly all of our bags are sold within Germany and I have to handle a real job, too. So my dedication for better texts isn't that big at the moment.

Greets,
Johannes

Johannes,

I am sorry I just thought when the two said machine made that the others were the same way. Handstiched is always better, and sand dosent bother me that much (actually I was using one 2 minutes ago) but pellets would be better.

Have a swell day,
Luke

all right. sorry about it but you should spread that word that footbag is not really called hacky sack. It is called footbag and we should force others to cal it that. FUrthermore, your bags are relatively good for starters....I'm happy that you managed to get your hands on Mr. Sandbags as it's almost a staple for beginning shredders' bag arsenals.

I know the facts about the brand hacky sack. Look at this text (written 2003): http://www.footbag-shop.de/catalog/faqd ... qdesk_id/7
I think it would be better to recommend the word footbag, rather than forcing somebody to do something. The most started with a crotched footbag and called it hacky sack. (me too) This never ending discussion about wham-o etc. just alienates beginners.

But you are right. I should invest more time in the translation.

I'm happy that you managed to get your hands on Mr. Sandbags as it's almost a staple for beginning shredders' bag arsenals.

Here in Germany we also sell Rod Lavers at very low prices. But only by mail; ‘cause we always had a lag in adequate supply from Chinese dealers.

haha, henry, have you ever been to germany? just because there is only 5 or 6 german players on this forum doesn't mean there are only 5-6 players IN germany. the shred scene in berlin ALONE rivals any place IN THE WORLD, and the 84 crew are some of the sickest shredders around, and it's rather disappointing you haven't even heard of them. Germany has one of the best scenes for shred out there, every city and town seems to have dozens of high level player in both freestyle and net. you are not the authority on international shred you seem to think you are. do some research and don't patronize johannes.

edited so the quote acctually works.
and again for spelling. chances are i'll edit this again...

Your right! My behavior was uncalled for, immature and unacceptable. I'm sorry. I was just on my way back to edit it out. I was thinking about how you are a German shop and to criticize you about the text in English is unfair and inconsiderate. There is no excuse. Again, I'm sorry!

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 03 Jan 2005 19:57

right, well i feel no need to apologize, my mr. sandman colors are still as sweet as ever

Tee H See · Post by **Tee H See** » 03 Jan 2005 20:23

my friend bought one of their sand bags from freaks, the only problem with it is that it seems to lose sand pretty fast. Other than that their designs are pretty cool and they are the only company that makes footbag shirts that i would wear.

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 03 Jan 2005 20:32

Where are these footbag shirts you speak of?
