5 FootFighters post-Philly

Flipsider · Post by **Flipsider** » 04 Jan 2005 06:36

Hey players, I nearly sold out of FootFighter bags at Chilly Philly and it's going to be a little more time before v5 is up (and the Shop with it), so I thought I'd offer the remaining 5 bags to any takers here. They are only $25 (USD) plus shipping. Canadians, PM me for a CAD price. The colors I have left are Light Brown & Black (regular soccer) and Navy & Light Green (reverse soccer). PM me if you want one.

I can't wait to try one of these bags. The symbol reminds me of the Van Halen symbol

.

What's the name of the material, do you know? And how rigid is it compared to facile?

Flipsider · Post by **Flipsider** » 04 Jan 2005 12:20

thinner and softer, but about the same durability and without the expansion problem. I don't know the name, sorry.

The symbol reminds me of the Van Halen symbol

also like Fallen (a skate brand I think)

I'd like to see some info. I'm bought i just wanna know how it is, handles and stuff..........see if you can save me one. Its ok if not. Me and Chris I guess wanna see what it's made of and whatnot

Although a little more info would be cool, that information isn't always availiable right away. I trust Ellis' word and am confident in the performance. Me and Ellis are discussing the sale of a bag, so there's one gone. Hurry up people.

Hello,

I have about 8 different bags made by thiese guys (Sorbet, Kierpca).

I have to say that they`re really good. In fact, new material rules!
It has no name. It`s thin, and as Ellis wrote doesn`t expand.
In comparison to Facile ( which is also offered by Footfighter)
I think it this fabric thinner but no as durable.

I guess more than 50% of polish players use FF.
I recommend this bags.

Regards,

Wiktor

Exacly. Maybe they weight a little bit more.

ahh. they looks neat and it just made me think that if they were stiff, they would prolly hinder the stalling. I guess I was WRONG!

Wow the bags look awsome, and such a good price. My one question is at the bottom of the page it says that "special discounts will be available at the commencement of the new site". I assume that you are reffering to clothing and such, and not a discount on these bags, because 25 sounds pretty cheap already...

I picked one up, they are awesome bags, I definitely recomend buying one. They need very little time to break in. Mine has seen maybe 4 or 5 circles and it's already pretty choice. The material is so soft too

You dont even need to work it in, I'm definitely going to be buying another one.

I am interested but how do they compare to abshires and what is the filler.

Xain · Post by **Xain** » 04 Jan 2005 17:16

Well first off the break in time is much much faster with the footfighter bags. However they aren't as durable as abshires are .... therefore .... if you get it .... take care of it!!!!

I live in montreal with Eli, and I also own one of these bags, and have played with about four different ones of them.
These bags are awsome, and are the reason the montreal crew have switched from using sandbags and Eli's collection when he is there, to these amazing polish bags.
These bags are perfect size and weight for me, and stall perfectly.
But out of the 4 bags ive played with, two of them (The bags Kolo kept, which look like striped balls in pool because of the solid colors, with a solid line through the middle) seem a bit bigger, and that the stitcher used bigger cut outs (resulting in the panels puffing out more). The other 2 bags I've used are mine and Claudia's. Claudia's with the regular pattern, green and i think brown but have more like triangles instead of hexagons, and mine with a random type pattern with light blue pentagons, and navy and beige color hexagons. I like mine and Claudia's styled bags more, but I was wondering if the patterns on the bag show how they are sewn, or which of the two stichers made them, or what?
I guess this is a question so could Eli answer it, or anyone else who knows?

Yes, there are two stichers, so bags are a little bit different. In one bag, panels are puffed out more than in another, its bag made by sorbet. Another bag is made by Kierpca. He is stiching very tight.

sorbet? Did he make sorbibags or soemthing?

I"ve hear that name somewhere.....

Wiktor · Post by **Wiktor** » 09 Jan 2005 13:27

Yes, guy called Sorbet makes Sorbibags ( this model is not offered by Footighter, but other Polish brand = Bigfoot - www.footbag.com.pl/ )

The second guy is called Kamil "Kierpca" Wysocki
(Polish Champion 2003 in open freestyle)
( You can find his routine on Lise`s video from "Zochajam" :
http://www.footbagdenmark.dk/images/fil ... chajam.wmv he hit Symposium Sumo in the end of his routine)

Now when they have one brand, I think that the bags are almost identical.
