Wheel Footbags

Post by Jeremy »

I am now taking orders on my bags. They come in two sizes - big and small although big is still pretty small - about abshire size I guess.

Price is $35US including postage but there is a $5 discount for all IFPA members. The price is considerably lower for Australians and New Zealanders because there is very little choice if buying local bags in these countries and I think 32 panel bags are the best - Aus Price is $40 au or $35 if you are an IFPA member and $30 if you are an ausfootbag paid member and an IFPA member (and $35 if you are and ausfootbag paid member but not an IFPA member)

email or PM me to order a bag. I accept Pay Pal.

Here are 5 bags that I've made in the last 3 days. They've already got homes to go to :) Three bigs and two smalls.

edit: they are my bag of choice and all the footage in my "Last Days" video was using these bags. Last time I checked Dylan Fry also uses my bags. Also if you don't buy my bags right now I will not be able to afford to eat tomorrow and that will mean I will be weak while helping look after my dieing grandmother :(

like 6 months now? But I've had the last 2 months off and until those bags I've been experimenting with lots of stuff. Now I've got a system that I'm sticking too. :)

maybe if grammy would get a job she could support herself and not worry about living on the fuckin' street. maybe you could give her a needle and some thread and she could decide whether to stitch a bag or hang herself by her throat. just my 2 cents.

bags look great. i will definitely get one later on. hmm. if i join ausfootbag, i can get another 5 bucks off SWEET!

Cheers :)

They are filled with a mix of plastic and metal shot. Although I probably only have enough shot for like 3 more bags if I'm lucky - after that I'll have to find some new filler :(

Glenn (my juggling friend) made me the pin!

I'm pretty proud of my stitching skills - I can't find any of the blind stitches - even on bags like the orange green and yellow bag - where I know that one of two panels is the last one (and the other is the first) - so I think that's pretty good!

This bag is for James - a local guy in the Hobart Footbag Club (has made one post on modified). He's a very lucky boy because if I hadn't told him I had finished his bag I think I would keep this one :)

I was lckey enough to buy a bag from Jeremy when i was visiting him in Tasmania. I wanted to buy three or four but he couln't make them fast enough.

I use my wheel bag all the time. they brake in sooo nice and are a realy pleasure to shred with. I have had many a good shred and its still going strong.

I would highly recommend investing in one of Jeremys bags. but reserve in now because hes kind of a slacker when it comes to stitching....haha. he told me it takes time to add the secret ingredient.......lots of love.

And pubic hair. Seriously. Did you know Jeremy is a swimmer? And that his whole body is freshly self-shorn daily? Thus, what takes the REAL time is to grow the seven pubic hairs, the so-called "secret ingredient," that he delicately positions into each of his prize-winning bags. You call it "love," I call 'em pubes . . . whatever.

The green and orange bag looks well stitched and evenly gathered.

Dylan Fry in the house!! :) Cheers Dylan. I'm starting to get much quicker though - I've made bags every day apart from Saturday but I cut out material for 3 bags that day and started one.

Jeremy - my secret ingredient is just that - secret! Please don't post it on the forum again. Actually I was nick named Ali Schneider at school for a while - which is from a christian advertisement where this girl (named Ali Schneider) who can't walk competes in her school swimming team and "makes a big splash" by finishing every race she enters - even though she comes last in every event. I was like that in swimming - although for some stupid reason I was forced to compete in the open level for everything - and I always compete in everything. So I was up against people who train every day and I only go swimming once or twice a year if it's really warm :P. I actually learnt the butterfly stroke in the pool 15 minutes before that race (or at least was told how to do it) and that's where I got the nickname from. So basically I look like I'm a crippled little girl when I swim :P

Anyway here is a picture of a bag I made last night for Jesse. It's a "small" bag and it's pictured on my laver so you can judge size hopefully. My lavers are size 9 if that helps.

lol - actually I'm even worse when swimming 8O!


Here is a photo of my latest bag - for Joe K. It's very sweet. The colours look abit dull in this photo for some reason - maybe the flash or something but it's sweet. I took it next to Australia so you can see how big it is. Tasmania is the little island directly to the right of the bag (incase you didn't know)

Image

edit: tried to take a better picture but couldn't - without the flash it is too dark and out of focus. With the flash the colours get distorted. It's purple and green anyway. Actually on my screen that photo looks pretty close to actual size as well - maybe slightly bigger than the actual bag.
