No offense to Brett Campbell, but I don't want to see any more footbaggers wearing those type of shorts if I can help it. I do agree that short shorts is necessary for footbag, but jogger shorts that reveal just a bit to much of a man's body, isn't needed ! Keep lookin.

i used to only 'hack' in only really baggy jeans...then when i started to actually freestyle, i tried for awhile to shred in jeans still, but eventually i learned shorts are much better. even at this point my favorite shredding shorts are 'shants' (halfway between shorts and pants...AKA 'capris') which are sooper long. i think i might do better in short shorts...but i dunno if its worth it...i have knobby knees and gross legs :lol: [/u]

Function first.

If you wear big floppy stupid shorts and you drop a trick because the bag got caught on the material then you are allowed to blame the equipment for your mistake.

except in reality you should still blame yourself because you were the one that chose the big shorts that got in your way.

I wear tiny shorts because I don't like it when the bag gets hung up on my short material.

Use logic.

You can also see that people who play consistently in long shorts have really shitty styles because they have to compensate for their shorts hanging to their ankles.

A lot of people wish they had his skill! Ryan is the shaz, I would love to see some up to date footage of him.

SOO fucking COOOOOL he dont hit any thing really big, but he is so consitant and that is just the BEST show off of the sport i ever seen, normaly when ppl see the sport they think noting of the bigger moves. i could show some one my best move, then show them some basic drills and have them more impressed, ryans soo cool, and i love the way he is all style'n out the dress style, its not only his shorts that make that so damn awsome, haveing a button up shirt on is impressive as well, i wear them alot and when i start kicking at school in pants i have to take it off or tuck the ends in my pants bc how much they get in the way. buy the way im gessing its in europe, but what the hell is that? like some kinda freestyle show thing... or something. any way its really cool, looks like something id be way intrested in to going and seeing. so much talent on one stage.

Zach: It was street fashion show, in Denmark, I suppose...

I like short shorts too. Maybe not as short as Brett Campbell's, but I have one pair like his, and I use them sometimes when I shred in house.
And my favorite shred-shorts are some of my old shorts. The fabric is really thin and soft, and there are about 4-5 inches above the knee long....

Is it just me, or were Ryan Mode's ticks REALLY one-sided? I feel like i didnt see him hit a single right footed clipper. Its funny, but he's really talented, but for some reason his shred looked 'ugly' to me. it took me a while to realize it, but i think it was because of his onesided. anybody else think this? or did i just not see all his othersided tricks?
