Yea school doesn't get in your way willie. That is if you even go to school.

Speaking of which, why aren't you in school today?

After undergrad at my small university (2 years from now), my parents gave me the go-ahead to take a year off before going to get my masters in education and such. That year will be filled with lots of working and getting money, chilling with my engineer friends I still keep in touch with from high school and lots and LOTS of footbag. People have their reasons for dropping out of high school to do a number of things. That's just not for me. Some of them do it for descent reasons, others not so much. I'd rather worry about my own grades and making sure I've got plenty of time for both school work, writing, footbag, and longboarding.

When Matt "Too Cool For School" Kain wrote this, he thought he made me look like a fool:
But apparently Jeremy Mirkin and spelling *are* mutually exclusive. I would love for you to expand on how someone manages to make it "thorough 4 years of undergratuate university classes." Does one "gratuate" from an undergratuate university? Did you have a good "grate" point average?

The fact that anyone is actually trying to argue against my post says... well... I better not say. I'll let you figure it out on your own. In the meantime, if you're interested, I have some Amelia Bedelia books that you could borrow. You might find them to be a challenging continuation of your "undergratuate" education.

Sorry sucker. I couldn't resist.

With Love,
MattKain

p.s. To "excel" means to do or be better than or to surpass. "Excell" is an imaginery word that Amelia Bedelia might use to describe a cell that is sadly no more.

BUT . . . he's the real sucker because he forgot that I am just like Chuck Norris. I don't use spell check. When I misspell a word I simply reinvent the spelling of the word to match what, pre-reinvention, one might have called an "error."

Boluchi Suka!

EDIT: you spelled my name wrong?! I hope that was on purpose.

Well i think u can sacrifice some classes u dont like or not important (like skipping), then go play footbag,but keep some important classes such as math english.......soem creadits classes. May be 3-4 would be okay.

Cuz i realize after i play footbag everyday for more than 2 hours i will get so tired and the first thing to do is to sleep when i get back home 8O ,and i probably wont have time to study all the time, cuz i need to recover my energy for footbag :)



One of the reason footbag didnt get bigger is beacuse No one ever like VASKA quited school and HOOK people up with his FOOTBAG SKILLS????
VASKA MAY BE tHE FORMER of making FOOTBAG GAME BECOME HUGE, BIG!!!!!???????

Firstly, look at your spelling man. You are definately someone who NEEDS to stay in school. Furthermore, Vasek doesn't make a living with footbag.
What are your current sponsors?
Right now its’ quite miserable. Essentially its’ Represent Clothing, and CFA, nothing else. From the two CFA is the biggest sponsor, while Represent is my minor sponsor. It would definitely also be beneficial if the Association (CFA) also had a bigger sponsor to cover some of the costs.


Moreover, Vasek is in school!
Vasek does a lot outside of footbag also!

What do you do other than footbag?
I do lots of beatbox, I play tennis, once in a while, well I should say that I played tennis today, and that’s about it in regards to tennis. In regards to school, I’m in my third year, which is good, a sort of repetition, I guess you could say. I going to a school which has a direction towards the hotel industry, now I’m planning to participate in a bartender’s course. In the future I definitely plan to try bartending freestyle. I’ll let the future take its’ path, and we’ll see what happens. Other than that I am filming a footbag video, with Fanda, so you can look forward to an extreme video.

Hell, maybe if I want to get any good at footbag, I should drop my 3.5+ GPA and start playing Footbag.

Not. :D

Why is it necessary for this topic to be in existance? I mean seriously.

Education, something that will assist you all throughout your life, thrown out the window for footbag, something that doesnt even get you money even if you are the best, in addition to being something you cant even do for your whole life.

If you are even considering dropping out of school then you probably dont deserve the education that so many people in the world are desperate to get.
