i picked up one of these, and so did my little brother and our friend. they are really nice bags. i have a regular abshire and a mr. sandman and i play with it twice as much as those. the break in time is mad short.

I play with them all the time, and im going to buy another ASAP.

They are my favorite bags, though lonn and felix's are a close second.

I PMed him about one right before you posted this. I've heard good things, and I lost my Lonn, so now's as good a time as any.

i picked up a couple of these bags at CP, the break in time is extremely short, when i got mine alex strasman said it felt like you could play with it, the bags are not facile.when i got my footfighter it came with a little piece of paper that explained all about the bag, the paper didnt come with what the material name was but i think that is what it makes it a short break in time.

after i washed it for the first time after a few skool sessions and the color sort of faded and when it air dryed it felt kinda crusty. i havent washed it since but the color is back and it is crst free :)

overall i am kind of 50/50 with these bags, i dont know what the crust was about but it still works fine but once flipsider is back up find out for yourself

yeh, mine got a little stiff after I washed it too... I think Ellis warned us about this though, and mine wasn't perminant at all, Ellis said it wouldn't hurt the bag so... But yeh really short break in.

yea it doesnt hurt the bag at all. what i do, as ellis instructed me at CP is to just take a small dab of hand lotion, and massage it in the bag. it makes the bag play so much better i think.
