how long till you got basics down?

.....does anyone else get stupid comments from ignorant people like "Looks like you got way too much time on your hands"?

i think we all do. but, definitely along the lines of Ben Skagg's sig, which says it best...


"No I don't play soccer. Yes there are competitions. A year and a half. Lots and lots of practice."

he should try to add something about the 'too much time on your hands' one, because i personally get that CONSTANTLY.

and it sounds like you are improving rather QUICKLY, honestly.

"No I don't play soccer. Yes there are competitions. A year and a half. Lots and lots of practice."

I can't tell how many times I told something like that to people interrogating me about "what I am doing with that little ball ?"...But of course I like to enlighten others about footbag...

Still I can't really stand those questions like : "Do you play soccer ? I think I saw some soccer players doing this, too..."

Mostly I just reply something like : I seriously doubt that any real soccer player has got the faintest idea about how to hit any of these moves I do...especially not a clipper, believe me, soccer has nearly naught to do with footbag unless both is played with something round...

(I hate soccer...playing with friends for fun is ok but anything that goes beyond that... no comment )
