Its pretty easy, you just don't cut into the mesh. Cut right about the line where the leather is stitched to the mesh, so you don't cut into it and rip the mesh. you can then stitch the edges to make them stronger and cleaner looking

Dealio is-I'm not sure if I should nix an eyelet or what. I'd also like to see the stitching and etc. I fuck up a lot, and just want to make sure I'm doing it right

I really don't think that G-units needs a Brocka mod. Compared to Lavers, it has a lower ankle support. And really, based on the design of the shoe, doing a Brocka mod might be harmful if you're not really careful.
And if you ask me, just cut off the remaining leather of the inside of your Goonits. The fabric is pretty flexible so that a Brocka mod wouldn't really be needed for the shoe. Otherwise, just go and cut the degree of a gap you want on them, and sew that portion up for a clean look. Not sure about sacrificing an eyelet, though...

Do not cut out an eyelet on your lavers. You don't need to. You also don't have to stitch it to clean it up either. I didn't clean up my brokas, or the holes in the toes of my shoes either. Dirtbag say what!

i now do a very different broka than i used to...i basically moved it back and deepened it (i had to deepen it because i dont use in-soles so my foot is deep in the shoe), because i realized it wasnt doing much where it was, because my ankle turns farther back towards me heel.
first of all i am really glad that Brockcut made its way to footbag public.. AND most of all that it helped many of u in both your early "clipper days" and hardcore shred sessions
secondly it was really an HONOR meeting some of U- the "Brockcut fans" during the last summer..
so keep your mind open and enjoy all aspects of footbag culture...which paradoxly starts right when the competition ends..
Pros - More freedom on your ankle crank, comfortable, the mod makes you look fully dedicated to footbag.
Cons - You may have to tie your Lavers tighter than before, less secure ankle support.
That's my two cents on it.

Yeah I've been debating whether to go brocka or not. Cuz we all know once you go brocka, you can't go back. I tried just flexing my ankle in my lavers as far as possible, like even using my hand, and I can see how removing that material blocking my ankle would help. I'm just deathly afraid of doing anything to my choice lavers...
