New footbag competition Idea?!

F-O-O-T-B-A-G

Sick 3 competition or sick 1 competition, but played horse style.

For example, in basketball, you take a shot, if you make it, the next player has to make it, or they get a letter.

For footbag, one person goes for a trick (nemsis). If they seal that trick with a hand catch, then the next person in line has to go for that same trick. Likewise, if they seal that trick, the next person has to hit it, and so on.

Players keep playing until someone has "footbag". The person who drops the trick they have to hit gets a letter, then the next person in line has to come up with his/her own trick.

I'm not sure if this type of competition is already present, or if people already do this. It would be more entertaining than anything (if you read my thread in the video section, you'll see why this idea came to mind).

Sick 3 may be a little more leanient in the rules. For example, in sick 3, someone should have 3 attempts to make their combo, not 1. 1 would be too demanding.

Anyways, thats my thoughts on that.

Yah we do that around here occassionally. We played quite a bit during the geneseo gathering, and me and steeban played a few times.

As of know I am undefeated

we do that all the time but letters equal like 10 pushups that the losers have to do and the winner gets to laugh and the people doing push ups

I do that alot with john here

It would be unfair in a tournament though because lots of people can do things that other people cant so its not equal even though the two people might be really good at footbag

The problem with this sort of game is that footbag skillsets are so diverse.

Imagine a matchup of say... Mikko vs. Irish. Two world class players, should be a hell of a bout. But, Mikko starts with blazing butterfly, which I don't think Pete can hit (at least not on command). Pete comes back with gyro egg, which I think is outside Mikko's arsenal.

I think you can imagine a pretty big list of tricks for each of these players that the other would have a hard time hitting. At least enough to spell footbag.

We used to play S-H-R-E-D it goes faster than FOOTBAG.

I remember the first time I played with Daryl, Dave Holton, and Red and I hit the cleanest Shooting Butterfly ever and it just floored everyone because I was still tiltless. This was like 8 years ago so shooting butterfly was huge
