I put a heel and lace box on my shoes so that I can get AWESOME ball drag and dim stalls easy. I'm think about strapping spoons around my calfs so I can get some wicked shin and cloud delays going on sometime soon.

my fav mod was cutting out both canvas and mesh from the inside serface of my lavers and installing some facile (blue). Bumped my clippers up alot...

I also did the tubing mod described on HoodsHouse, wich called me to hack off my toe walls. The tubing wound up falling off, but I had used enough shoe goo that the shoe kept it's shape anyway! I love my toe box.

I kinda want to drill holles through the sole bellow my heel and toe... I've seen that done before, but I've also heard horror stories about that mod. Sounds like it'd be sick though. Does anybody recomend it?

keep it real

I remember one day, maybe at chilly philly, when I was kicking with jack and sanding down shin bones came up

So can you tell me how you set from clipper?




Why do you people (Adam Greenwood) think that you have to remove the toe walls to be legit? Thats so ridiculous. Climas dont need toe walls because they dont have them to begin with. If you want to be "more legit" (which doesnt actually matter at all, but have fun) then just dont do any mods to anything. So not cutting the toe stitching, not cutting the walls off, not cutting the canvas out, then you are legit.


But i think that anyone who plays footbag and uses a shoe and mods of their choice that work for them are legit. Toe walls with a teeny tiny bit of the wall cut off work for me. No eyeholes cut off. But on my next pair i wont cut anything off. Its all about experimentation and using shoes with an open mind. Unless they are climas. Then they suck.

Whether you take walls off or not doesn't matter.

If you have the walls on, and you rely on them to catch a toe stall, you aren't going to be able to set it straight anyway.
