I am 23, and have been shredding on and off for two years.

I try and play guiltless, so 3 or 4 adds, haven't hit a 5 yet.

I was under the impression that add was just short for additional, just had a look on footbag.org and can't find anything though.

I'm 17 and I have been like actually seriously playing for probably around 6 months. I mean I kicked for forever before that, and I hacked but with freestyle moves thrown in for a long time too. But actually drilling by myself and all and starting to go to footbag sessions probably started 6 or 7 months ago...

My strings consist of 3's or sometimes 2's and 4's I can hit a 5 if I really want to

I'm 20 and have been seriously kicking since February. I incorporate a lot of tiltless into my strings. My add range is 0-4, with one 5 I can sorta hit. I just started learning set moves a couple of weeks ago.

Age: 31

I played from age 12 to 18 everyday practically. My friends and I were very good at the time (nothing compared to now). Since 18 I have played maybe a whole 1 hour until a few weeks ago. I was at a festival a few weeks ago and played for a few hours, things come back pretty fast. It was fun but I wasn't inspired. Then this guy joined the circle and I saw tricks I had never seen before (not combos of old tricks, new stuff). I was really impressed.

Since the world wide web didn't even exist when I was last footbagging I decided to google around. WOW. Amazing! Its fantastic how far you guys have taken our sport. After a bit of research I ordered my lavers, mr. sandbag, and the adshire A-910. I just got them today and did the MOD on the shoes. This new equipment is like cheating OMG!! haha. Its so much easier.

Anyway, happy to be back and footbagging.

I'm more than a third of a CENTURY old, and I've been kicking longer than most of the people on this list have been alive.

I was an extremely slow learner, and couldn't get more than 10 kicks by the time I graduated high school. This is in large part do to the fact that I believed I was totally uncoordinated, and proved myself correct ;).

Peace.

How many adds is a smear. I hit that a couple of times today.

[ toe > same (dex) in > op (dex) in > op toe ]

I also hit:

[ toe > op (dex) in > op (dex) out > same toe ]

Don't know what that's called. So if someone could fill me in that would be cool.

The second one's a double leg over, very commonly abbreviated DLO. Nice work, they're both three adds. 2 dexes, and the del add.

I just recently found out I'm better than I said. My add range varies from 1-5, and not 1-3.

I'm 20, and i've been playing for about 1 and a half years.

I string 2-4 add moves only, and can hit one 5.

I'm thinking about something... and there is a very high chance it has something to do with footbag.
