Squeeze to hard POP goes the footbag

Post by JFootbagger »

All right, just to let you guys know of my experience. I was cleaning my Mosher bag and I was squeezin' the water out...and it came out in like streams and squirts (like a water gun) and it turns out that I busted a couple holes in my bag 8O 8O :( :( Has this ever happened to anyone?

My "guess" is the water pressure builds up to great in the bag has burts through the pannel. Again that is my guess. Now I gotta get my freesole back from Josh Gayhart (He forgot it for today's session...the jerk :? ), and fix my Mosh.

It's happened to me maybe once with a ff bag, but that was because the pannel already had a hole that wasn't patched and the water was just squirting through.

Everything you do with a footbag EVER should be done with the highest level of delicacy that you can achieve.

If the bag was wet it is possible that the instant you squeezed the bag the panels were sorta.. sealed together with wetness and the force of the squeezing made the water choose the path of least resistance, it may have been easier to bust through a panel than go through the sealed bleed holes.. I don't know.. Just treat the bag nice.

How is that bag doing? It was the only time Ive ever done that stitch so I have no experience with how it would break in.

Sorry to hear it got holey.

thats fairly normal. Water always squirts out through tiny holes; thats how you know holes exist in the material even before they are visible. One must be careful when washing ones bag. Squeezing too hard CAN makes the holes bigger if enough water is squeezed through too quickly.

I heart mosher bags, I am and will be an even better shredita because of Mosher bags. and I believe mosher gave a warning that this bag wasnt the same as the rest of his grade A stitching before he sent it out although I know that doenst quite make up for holes.. *shrug

In conclusion, mosher bags win!

I want a 32 panel.

4 panels is cool, but 32 is much, much cooler.

Thanks for the heads up man! This is probably what aided in the pin-hole creation that has happened to my Suder bag.
I'll be more careful when I squeeze things in th future!

I've only had some experience with a Lonn mini, abshires, and my lovely Docbag, so I'm assuming Mosh bags are of a much more delicate stitchwork? I'd really like to try it out after I get the chance to get my Wheel bag from Jeremy some time soon.
