hmm, i like the writing, but the bag is ugly. Did you have to post my first 32? maybe you could post a pic of the bag i've just finished for you.

Pete wrote:you're all gonna waste your money then. what's so hard about making a cube out of fabric? if it was sooo great, everyone would make 6panels and not 32s.

the IQ of ppl on this forum is lower than the amount of panels on my footbags!

I'm sorry I'm bringing this up again but...

Pete, you have never played with one of matts bags, you can't say that a well reviewed bag (or any bag for that matter) is a bad deal if you've never tried it. I don't care if you don't understand how a 6 panel can be so great. Try an Emmings bag then rethink your post.

And if you judge a bag by the number of panels then go buy a 'Da Phat 120' or whatever they're called.

i never said that. wtf is wrong with everyone?! i'm saying is that the standard in bags is a 32 right? and a regular 32 goes for 20 to 40$ so average of let's say 30$ now this bag that took 5-25min to make is being sold at 20$. If Matt's 6panels were so great, the standard would be 6panels and not 32s.

this is like saying get a ferrari(100 000$). or a toyota for 80 000$.
it's still not the product i'm talking about it's the fucking price. get that to your head!!

Guys I don't want to see another post about this arguement in this topic, the topic is for posting new bags, not for argueing weather Matt Emming's bags are worth $20.

If you would like to continue talking about this, do it over PMs or start a new topic.

Oh man...I didn't read all the posts, but glanced over some controversy about Emmings bags.

I just got a few months ago and I love it. I've always hated sandbags, but this is totally different. I love my Emmings bag, and seriously consider getting another (switching from 32??).

i dont know about the 6 panels from ME but his 32 are awesome, if you get the chance to get one, i worth the 40$C (Kolosport has 3 left, kolosport at videotron dot com )

The dumbest post/question is that one which asks who is right on something which depends on personal preference !

Man nice bags Marco! They look really awesome! Toby's bag looks pretty big compared to yours, but I think it's just because yours are so small! Toby has started making bags the same size as your ones now, lol he gave me a red/blue 32 about the size of the one you sent him yesterday, the same pattern as that blue/white in ur pic as far as I can see but with lead fill, I think it's the best bag i've ever seen :O.

DUSTER · Post by **DUSTER** » 18 Oct 2005 14:29

Toby · Post by **Toby** » 19 Oct 2005 00:39

Nice bags marco. They look better and better everytime you post. The bag i stitched looks over sized sitting next to yours.. and it is. I make them about this size now:

Hope this works...

Took this picture in class with my camera phone, so the quality may be lacking a bit. I might need to sharpen it with Photoshop soon. Anyway, the the bags sizes are compared with a quarter at the far left and my usual Papermate Pen at the top.

As listed, starting from upper left to upper right, then lower left to lower right:

fully broken-in abshire A-910 standard (eclipse/neon yellow)
O'Wheel bag (multicolored)
Footfighter (red/beige/lavender, I think)
fully broken-in abshire A-910 mini (orange/purple)
Docbag (orange/black)
abshire A-910 standard (maroon/light army green)

To tell you the truth, the maroon/light army green abshire is my first abshire that I used, but it managed to bust open a hole from abuse by my colleagues at college. I managed to fix it, with a blind stitch and all, but I'm sure that I've lost a shitload of filler. I think it was an early 2004 model, using lead shot BBs and tubed plastic pellets. I think I should ask Richie for some extra filler as this abshire seems a long way from being broken-in still compared to my eclipse/neon yellow version up there (though it did expand into a much heftier size I might say).

hey waylon...nice collection!

so,here i post some bags that might have been posted before but i just had this pic on my destop and i thought maybe i post it!

all bags made by me,exept the blue/white one its a toby bag,and of course that sipa sipa bag on the far right.the three bags on the left go out to linz,austria.i hope the guys like those bags,i love the green and orange one!i wish i could keep it.but i told them allready that it is finished!

the bag under the toby bag is my actual shred bag,just opend it and refilled it with plastik and lead only,for better performance as i hope!i´ll see!

EDIT:inserted the right pic!

BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 23 Oct 2005 05:00

Hey man your shred bag looks really good! Let us know what you think of your new filler! Toby has been using lead and plastic in all his latest bags (the one's that are insanely amazing) I think the fill may be part of the reason they are so good!

in fact,i will go shred with it right now!
some day i want to have a toby bag with his new filler,i mean,his stiching skills+a good filler...that bag must be insane!
