lol my problem is im addicted...addicted to footbag!Hey whats up everybody im 15 and i just started footbagging about a week ago, i have mastered legover BSOS, clipper BSOS, atw BSOS, and a few others tho i still cant master mirage yet..i have been playing intensly for about a week and first day i mastered toestalling and inside stalling, second day i mastered atw's and worked on basic stalls...third and forth and fifth day i mastered legovers, illusion, and clipper and now on my 6th day (today) im trying to put all the tricks together in a string..and so far the best string i have had is illusion>atw>legover BSOS>clipper flipside! i was really excited it felt great and i love how determined i am to progress..well i use an 8 panel sandbag and i just ordered all black mesh lavers from village shoes.com but i was sent an email saying they dont have my size(12) they have 11 and 13's tho so i dunno wat im gonna do cuz i really like black lavers or red lavers so any help on finding me the right shoes would help me out also! i cant wait to make my first vid. to show you guys wat level im at right now but i first need to get a camera..

Just for future reference, this would be more of a 'footblog' type post. Generally forums are about asking for people's opinions or tips, not just bragging about yourself.

Perhaps it was unintended, but it still came off as very self-righteous.

As far as your "question" related to shoes, you can get red rod lavers from worldfootbag.com here, but black will be harder to find. I tried looking on ebay but didn't find much. I'm sure someone out there has some though. Lon Smith (ShredOnLawn on the boards) deals in Lavers, so you could pm him and ask if he has any black on hand.

And as a note, "BSOS" means "both sides one string". So saying you mastered something "BSOS" doesn't really make any sense. You could say you have "mastered" it on both sides, but you probably mean more like you have hit it on both sides.

(I know I sound like an asshole-- sorry)

Pixies are easy it's an up-time pixie (or Pixie set) that will be a bit more tricky, but I think you'll be able to do it just fine

all you do for reg. pixie is atw but stall it on your other foot, for up time there are a buch of tutorials on modified here's a couple:

Yeah, that's a serious problem. Being addicted to footbag can lead to all sorts of things. Like rapid weight loss, complete disinterest in everything else around them...The only cure is to find others like you who have the same problem...

And there's a problem with that?
