Is kicking a Mr.Sandbag ok?

Post by Robenco15 »

I just got a Mr. Sandbag and was wondering if it will be ok to kick like with a group of friends or just by me. I'm kinda afraid it'll break if i kick it b/c it doesn't seem to be sturdy enough to endure kicks.

it's also kinda small haha i didn't realize how small it would be. i like that tho. i'm kinda tired of having 2 huge bulges in my pants whenever i would carry around my old hacky sack.

thank you.

its perfectly fine to kick it around...thats how it gets broken in and better for delays. Just try not to do toe pick ups because that can ruin your bag.

Yeah. I hate it when kids who kick hack that come in a circle and do the toe flick. Most are pretty cool about it, though it does get annoying. I hate the ones that do it anyway and get pissy because we footbag and they kick hack. I've only met a few people like that, though.

Good way to relieve aggro, I'd say. :wink: :lol:

you should have kicked him in the penith (see "the funniest thing I've ever posted" in Kicking Circle).

I prefer to just say, "hey, what's up? please just remember not to use your feet to pick it up".

Quite often, though, it takes a few reminders to get people to do it. Nothing you can do about that, people are creatures of habit. That's why I prefer to use a less expensive bag with random groups, like a sandmaster.
BRICK!

Yea, whenever i kick in a circle at school or something, i break out my Mr. Sandbag. Although, one day i used my Lonn in a smaller circle, and it was on grass. and everyone agreed not to do toe ups, and there were no problems. they were too busy going "woooaaahh, wtf!" haha :lol:

I've sold many facile and crushed panne Mr's at my old highschool where the kids play almost nothing but 4 square with them. I've seen those bags take quite a fair amount of abuse but have never seen any of them bust a stitch at the seams yet. They do seem to leak faster when they are used primarily for kicking around.

I think Mr's are ok to kick with but if you're on a fixed budget and can't easily replace it in case anything happens then just save it for freestyle and use a different kind of bag to just kick around.
