Living in the UK sucks

Well, im sure this topic has been brought up before but the search function is not my friend!
I dont religiously play footbag, nor do i even do any tricks, i just really enjoy kicking it up and down. Some say id be more suited to a football, as that is all i do, football skills. But football sucks

Anyways. I want to buy an abshire, probably because i have more money than sense, and a Mr sandbag. But i cant find no dealers in the UK.

Now, first of all, does anybody know a place i can get an Abshire and a mr sandbag. I know about Blurryworld and freedomfootbags, and i know Freedom do deliver to UK, but they are out of stock of abshires. Not sure about Blurryworld but its a lot of hassle anyways.

Secondly. Would anybody be willing to help. For example ordering an abshire and mr sandbag off of an american site then ill pay you to send them over to me plus some extra money for the trouble, that way i know they will get here.

Ta fellas.

Jamo: where in the Uk do you live?
I should be in London on the w.e. of the 20th and 27th of August.
I think.

I live in Cardiff, about 3 hours drive from London.
What do you suggest?

max · Post by **max** » 17 Jun 2005 07:30

i suggest a footbagger moves to London so that I can shred when I go there on week-ends!

argh, I've been there donzens of times in the past couple of years and not once have I kicked there... damn shame.

I don't actually have my week-end trips confirmed but will let you know if / when I do if there's a possibility of a shred + beers

Yer cool. Mind you, i can just about kick the bag let alone do any combos or anything so youd be better off kicking it at a wall.

One of the cool things about footbag is that others will often take time to help you learn the sport if you show enough interest. Don't worry that you can't hit long strings or that you don't have much experience, many people will try to help you in the long run and you'll look back and realize how cool the sport is, because so many people sacrificed things so that you could get into it.

Later! Have fun with Max!

yeah no worries, level of play is of strictly no importance. I just really dislike playing alone.
