Perhaps its acclaim is due to the comedy that accompanies the attempts to keep the small beanbag in the air, or perhaps it is just another pleasurable way to waste away the day.

Because the sport still has yet to be legitimized to the mass public.

F**K those guys! I hate it when people do that kind of crap, it's not a bad fad... it's a SPORT! They said so themselves in the article, only they made fun of it and made us sound like a bunch of druged out hippies dancing with a benabag in the air. It pisses me off when a group of people who don't understand something, go and piss all over it just becuase it "looks funny" to them. Of course I've had my share of people tell me these kind of things, and this is just another aggrivating experiance, but why would someone go to all the trouble of finding out about footbag freestlye and net, to just turn around and make it sound like a bunch of retards trying to waste thier lives? Just so they can have one more page on thier stupid website? Just to have thier site hit when some unkowing kid types in "Hacky Sack Fad" and it comes up with this page? Just in spite of us, so that when someone is already on the page, they'll go and have a good luagh at this article, and make it even more impossible for the REAL footbag players to get recognized as professional sportsman? I say we get someone other than me, becuae I'll be too angry with them to actually get a good response, to write them a letter telling them how FOOTABG isn't a passing fad, it's a growing sport.

P.S. sorry for that rant, I just woke up and it was the first thing I saw.

Hahaha, on the Inline Skates section, those are the exact model I used: Razors Superflat 2.

That was fun. Just wish it wasn't so painful.

That article is really insulting...
