You know you're addicted to footbag if..... (add your own)

When you have damaged ankles, back pains, knees pains and you're still shredin', schoolin' so much as you only can. Your sessions are as long as long you have power for shredin'. And you wan't to shred more because shred time is the only time you don't feel your pains...

This is great. It actuallly made me laugh out loud at work when I read it. I have several pairs of running shorts that end just about mid thigh. I only wear them when I shred but I will risk walking to a nearby water fountain with them on if I'm shredding in public. Otherwise I wear longer denim shorts or windbreakers to and from shreds. I saw a pic of me in those damn short shorts and I can only imagine what non-footbaggers think of my look; Short shorts with no shirt and my gut hanging over the waistline. Weird shoes and a tanline that could only indicate I discovered ankle socks late in the summer, walking around like I'm at home

Ah well, I'll get over it

YES! I do that all the time. My sister hides the ones I like from me.

..... If all your msn/aim names have something to do with Footbag.

....... If your display picture on msn is your fav footbag.

...... If you always capitals Footbag without even thinking about it.

...... when your friends asks you why you have a picture of a "hacky sack" as a display picture and you get pissed at them for useing a degrotory (sp) term.

When you walk in the woods in your dress shoes for not wanting to get your crumby old Lavers dirty.

When your friends think you cheat because you have special "hacky sack" shoes and special "hacky Sacks"

When tear your room apart looking for that choice bag.

When you do any mod any one says works on your lavers.

When you take pics of your shoes and footbags and post them on the net.

When you make lists like these...

when you hold your footbag in your hand when you sleep

when you dont have a footbag handy so you pick up a rock or a coke can and start playing

When you go into an empty parking lot with a friend and pretend like oyur at worlds.

when friends think your extremely wierd because all you talk about is footbag

... you talk to your footbag .
... you talk to your footbag when no one else is around.
... you worry about making one of your footbags jealous! (Tom)
... you tuck your footbags in at night and sing them lullabies.
... you've had a >5 hour solo shred.
... you perform footbag funeral services.
... the idea of becoming one of the best in the sport isn't ludacris.
... you make up SuperBAP, to compensate for your lack of footbag related self esteem.
... you take footbag more seriously than everything else in life.
... you quietly cry yourself to sleep at night because your new 32 has pinholes appearing in it, and you know its only a matter of time...

I got 16 out of 20 there. My god, are we THAT predictable?

...when, by night, you are drawn to street lamps like moths to a flame to have a shred.

If your vacation destinations are influenced by whether or not there are shredders there.

This is soo true. I am going to the south of france for a trip down the canals and I convinced my parents to stop in Paris so I can kick with them. Im also trying to convince them to take a detour to Helsinki

Uranos · Post by **Uranos** » 04 Mar 2005 18:25

I agree with that too

this is a funny one:

When i play a game of tennis (like serious competition because i used to ba an advanced tennis player) and every chance i get, for example when the other players are tieing their shoe laces, i take my footbag out of my pocket and start playing. Ive even been warned by my coach to stop doing that!!

When your friends at school say to you "wtf are you doing with your fingers?" and i say "nothing im just practicing my atomsmashers and janiwalkers"

I find that thats all i do at school, in my left hand i would be writing some notes for a subject and my other hand is hitting janiwalkers and bladerunners.

I try to choreograph my driving to whatever music is being played by using my brake and pedal. I think that's directly footbag related.

When you get detention from not doing your homework because you were playing footbag.

When you try clipper a pair of rubber gloves at work.

When you spend most of your holidays playing with your footbag and not with your friends.

When you get your footbag confiscated from playing in class.

oh man...i do that all the time. usually it works out, actually. like recently, i dropped my digital camera (i had just been taping a shred) and instinctively i tried to stall it. it didnt actually stay, it slid off, but it slowed it down enough so that it didnt break.
