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.

I hear ya. Once i opened this relaly high cupboard and this heavy ass kettle made of like steel or something fell. I had my hands full so I stuck out my bare foot to delay it without even thinking. This hurt alot.....nothing further. I also did it with a full tub of ice cream.

I havn't added to this thread yet, though it's made for a great read.

I am so happy that there is this great community of others that are totally retarded about footbag too.

You know you are addicted to footbag if....

.. you often find new muslces popping out.

.. you air dex.

.. you jump over things 'symposium' when running around.

.. every time you read a word that is also a footbag trick name you get kinda excited and then remember that it wasn't really what they meant.

.. you mean something entirely different than society when you say 'paradox' or 'stepping'.

.. when buying new pants you pick a pair you can shred in, just in case.

.. you are distraught and lost without a footbag with you. (I forgot all my bags at home today!!!

)

.. you have sore knees.

.. you stretch your ankles.

.. you think to yourself "yes, this little bag of beads is certainly worth thirty dollars."

.. your footbag collection is into the dozens.

.. you can't wait to tell someone when you see a pair of lavers on TV.

.. you imagine yourself editing shred footage to every song you hear.

.. you carry around thread, needles, fabric and scissors everywhere you go.

.. you stitch in public.

hahahah on that note I am going to tell a quick story.
I was in a coffee shop stitching a bag. I stitch with floss so periodically I have to use a lighter to melt the ends.
My friend Dalia told me the other day that before she knew me her and a few friends were looking for a place to sit and she suggested some open couch that was by me and her friends said 'no, there's some guy lighting stuff on fire over there.' and they sat somewhere else.

haha

...when a nice good-looking girl asks you if you're coming with the same bus as she and you say "Sorry, I'll stay here for a couple of hours and practice new footbag tricks."

NOTE: It had already been over a week after my last session, so that doesn't actually count and I'm not pathetic.

*Jethro* · Post by ***Jethro*** » 09 Mar 2005 00:23

thats just pathetic.

...when you're supposed to be working but all you do is look at footbag related websites.

...you lie and tell your coworker that brought you to work that you left your keys at home and can't get in the building, when you really only forgot your footbag. (happened this morning and we were already 15 min late, ended up 45 min late)

...when your the only person in the office, the only time you stop practicing is to answer the phone or see how _____ trick is done.

...If you find yourself standing on the outsides of your feet.

...If you look for videos or results of events you missed the day after they end.

...If you post videos of events the during events you are at.

...If you know more than 6 ways to lace up shoes.

...if you slave over a warm laptop for tons of hours compiling and compositing video from the tourney you just went so you can give it away for free on the internet, just cause you know what it's like downloading free quality footage.

oh.

when you are always looking at people's shoes to see if they can be modified in any way.

If you have a "shred drawer" where you keep your shoes, footbags, footbag journal.

you're non-shred shoes were bought so you can still kinda shred in them.

you stitch your own footbags *tom*

all of your friends that don't footbag actually call the sport footbag without realizing it.

you have had dreams where you've hit ridiculous moves like quintiple dexes

Whatsfootbag? · Post by **Whatsfootbag?** » 04 Apr 2005 16:13
