Post by neary322 »

Ahhhh man i lost my only footbag. krap.!! :x so i made a temporary one.
its not the greatest but it will do for now. all u need is: - plastic grocery bag- scissors-stapler- dry dirt found on your front lawn. simply cut a decently large square from the grocerybag. fill some dirt in it and staple shut. its reely easy to stall with it too. + 8) it aint the greatest but its a last resort.. :(

Do you prefer a Kroger bag or Food Lion?

Anyways, no, I wouldn't do this. I have plenty of footbags. If I didn't have ANY then I'd go get one, even if it was a shitty Sipa Sipa. I must say though, someone send this guy a bag, because that was one of the funniest posts I've ever read on modified. :lol:

I would probably just not play footbag, rather than do this - but it's a good idea. I guess I'm just not motivated enough these days :P

Id just go buy a new bag. Maybe when I was in high school Id do something like this when a bag broke or got lost. Actually when that happened or we didnt have a bag we did things like kicking stones, coins, rolled up-taped ball of paper and Im sure there was others.

These days if not buying a new one I have old bags still usable but otherwise Id probably attempt to make a proper bag. I doubt it would turn out very well though, but good enough for temporary bag.

I remember at school when I was like 13 in this sewing class we had to take, we made a hacky sack. The pattern we used was huge as and we filled it with rice. 2 pannel bag. Id try make that if I couldnt stitch a 32 but smaller.

Off topic, but I remember kids playing with a wallet and some other stuff at school.

Haha yeah, I made the same one. I think I just kicked it maybe once or twice (literally). I dont think I even knew how to kick the bag properly back then.

I have to say that sounds like a pretty good idea. Granted, like most people, I have enough bags that I really wouldn't ever need to do that unless I were going Macgyver on some desert island... that had grocery bags. :?

I played with a plastic fork one time- more out of boredom, but that's not the point is it

Yeah I just kicked the thing a couple of times as well. Didnt know how to kick it properly either and the the fact that it was so big didnt help. Still have it and I can kick it now though its big and heavy. Thing is so full.

I remember back in the day, before discovered freestyle, my friends and i would always try to have circles with like tennis balls and stuff. a Tennis ball works surprisingly well, it plays alot like a net bag, just with a tiny bit more pop. We actually got full hacks and stuff
