Nice job dogg. Both on the stitching and the freestyle. I think I'm going to start a stitching career. Not going to go all out with it (even though it's a little expensive and worth going crazy over) but I'll have fun making my own.
Oh and hey! Wanna hear a cool move to hit that'll prepare you for later tricks? (Just found out about it and it makes reel good sense) A symposium legover. I'm not too sure where you are at with the legovers but it's just some food for thought. You toss the bag up and do the legover motion without planting the setting foot. You know what symposium is, I'm sure. .. but I personally couldn't imagine what a symposium legover would look like. Just couldn't grasp it .

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My SIXTH BAG IS BULLSHIT! BULLSHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!! U JUST WASTED 5 INCHES OF GOOD THIRTY FUCKING DOLALRS PER FUCKING YARD FUCKING FACILE! FUCK FUCK FUCK !!!!
I AM SOO PISSED RIGHT NOW. I wasted shitloads of caile and, thinking, I couls build another bag by the end of the day like Tom, I starts stithcing. I just ended up fucking up 32 good panels of facile. That's another 32 that could have been with me stalling by tomorrow.
surprisingly, I actually had a goood run with my 5th bag. .....Roger. anyways, Roger's weight makes my Abshire, Starbucks, feel like nothing....much more, any of my Sandbags. Now, I can pretty much hit most of MY moves clean most of the time. For the first time, my 2 or so ounce bag is helping me......fuck the fact that I don't have any weighing things so I don't know how much my Roger weighs but definetely more than about three or four Abshire Minis.
Dont make your bags so heavy. Anything over 45 g is just overkill and unnecessary. That is why your bags fall apart. Steven Blair made bags that were 75 g and they busted in 2 days.
Make your bags lighter and you will have more success

actually, due to the way I made it, my bags seem to last for days.......they'rej ust stuffed with about 1/3 bbs, some shit pellets from the dead footbag I scored from Hot Topic and rocks and sand from my old, old Dirtbag 32 panel. crap bag is what i call it now. But my bags are heavy as crap....for some reason, I'm diggin this....I think I'm turning into Ales (partly because I heard somewhere he fills up his bags his BB's cuz he likes the weight......that gave me ideas...oh, well....I'm getting better and better and when I can, I'll raise some $ (about $70) to buy more facile and fuck around with new filler types. I saw Jo-Ann's which has doll filler (SCORE!!!!!!!) and Dick's near my home has BB's and Jo-Ann's also has Upholstery thread which I need to re-up on and I'll get more facile from Field's....this is fucking, addictive shit, stitching..... I now envy Richard Abshire as he prolly has yards and yard of Über facile.........mine'll take about three weeks to come to me
MY 5th bag just broke! I handed it to my friend to see and he apprently found the ending knot. being the curious douchebag hat he is, he pulled it loose and now, my Roger's coming apart...I really have to find like a better ending knot technique.
after 5 hours of surgery, Roger is in critical condition with some minor cuts and scrapes. however, his exterior is showing signs of problems. But not too much to be concerned about. His organs are in working order which I have made a modification to by just using BB's and Glass beads. I figure that the glass will erode to sand eventually which will make for a better bag. we have another bag in the maternity ward. He's just baout ready for the world but he's still coming out. Labor's been going on for about 3 days. some major progress here and there but nothing else.
so roger's been good lately. but I haven't kicked in a while what with my school, guitar, school and bags. I've been trying to improve my bags and fast so I can buy facile.
Hey Jericho, try and relax with your stitching. Pretty much the worst thing you can do while sewing is rushing your stitches. Getting really good at sewing takes ALOT of time and practice, but you already know that.
yes asap, I'll try to borrow my friend's digital cam and take a pic of all my bags......the 32's I make I'm never satisfied with and just tear up but Roger's my brainchild.....yes.........he's pretty much the best I've made...
and now, for nathan:
yeah thanks for the tip man! It takes me about a week to finish a bag because I tend to stich when I feel really good and nothing can go wrong so I don't eff up a couple buck's worth of good facile and I'm practicing like an olympic champ! I'll try to get good soon. I wanna do something with my bags....
yay! Today in school, Ive been trying to school pixie items and hit pixie set mirage, pixie rake and butts of ATWs but I just can't get the opposite dex too much. My flipside's been getting more and more attention so I guess that's why. My stitching's been critiqued by Nathan so that's great because now I got pointers and my bags will HOPEFULLY suck less! and I've got maybe a month at most to score a couple more bucks to buy good facile to make gooder bags!
and splint's been selling shirts and since I stitch, I'll give him like a bag or two as 'donations' to CSS6 but I hope it's not gonna be a prize shit or anything. I just really hope not I wish he'd just like.......be a footbag giving out guy. I'd dig that. cuz my bags are not pro-choice but I'd really like if someone at CSS6 was able to pick up my bag, take it home and shred with it.....then they'd PM me to see what's good and bad about it.
I don't know why I just wrote that but that's my long-term goal........so my stitching can improve.
Footbag's 'over' now in my school so like Hoffa's cover of Greenday's hit song, I shred alone.
All my douchebag friends now ditched me and I can only school shred every other day which is not tits.
I got a haircut that makes me look like Hitler (no offense to all Jewish, Polish, Gypsies and other Non-Aryan people)
My footbag stitching's cool but when me and my dad got into a fight, I didn't get to go the crafts store which then didn't let me get to go to the crafts store to buy doll filler which then led me to postpone my bag making which then is FUCKED UP.
I haven't shredded in a while like two days so I feel like a dickbag not kicking at all and still posting on modified. I've hit smear though which is so hot for me but when me and Tommy started IMing, he told me to keep on my basics which actually made sense for me due to the fact that I haven't even gotten down all my basics yet and i'm trying for 2 or 3 adds....fuck.
Yeah. That's good advice. Don't hit smears anymore unless you're trying to impress a lady (the ladies dig the smear). So props on that but BASICS IT UP!

smear looks oh so cool... people are just like what in the world... the few times I've done it for people they just look at me and say that it was all luck, or they couldn't even understand what it was I was doing...
damn my computer was fucked for a while so I was cut off from the modified world for a while. But during that time, I managed to finally get my flipside clippers and I haven't shredded much lately cuz ive been so busy.....but I've realized during all the time that I was a little sick and bed-ridden that I didn't hit smear.FUCK!I actually just hit pixie then to my opposite toe which, from my point of view, was a mirage which turned out to be not a mirage......damn I'm sorry for that guys that thought I was actually good at footbag for a second...
damn
but I've finished by other bag and It's just barely bigger than my broken in mini which is really neat cuz I've never thought I'd get a bag that small and I had my friend buy from me a Mr. for 10 so now I'm just 10 bucks short of kick-ass more facile! woot.
I need more footbag. (not footbagS but more footbag.)
I actually just hit pixie then to my opposite toe which, from my point of view, was a mirage which turned out to be not a mirage......damn I'm sorry for that guys that thought I was actually good at footbag for a second...
Dang, oh well you'll get it... until then you can always check flipsiders videos to see if what your hitting is what you think it is... oh and just curious how much does like a footbag's worth of facile cost you?
well it's about like 24 a yard and I use about a couple inches each time but the filler and the facile's what costs the most.....i'd say off the top of my head, 7 10 bucks?
.
what'd you fill it with? I hope it doesn't break apart quickly because of all the weight.
that's awesome. . . in a way.
