Spreading the love....

Post by JeffRichards »

Well in the past week i have got 4 new kids into footbag(and my other friend got lavers 3 weeks ago)! 2 have rod lavers already and 2 more are ordering them. Also lots of kids they hang out with hack so maybe they will catch on too, i hope so. I just love when footbag starts to spread! And we are trying to make a footbag club at school...and i think its ognna happen :wink: !

NW Dude! Thats awesome that a whole bunch of people have decided to play in a short period of time!

Speaking of that, the same happened to MFC. 3 months ago it was just 3 people kicking and now theres like 11 8O

Keep up the goood work and looking forward to hearing their progress 8)

this thread should be stickeyed, its so cool to hear about this...tabulating numbers and whatever.

i finally convinced a hackey slacking friend of mine to get better shoes and start learning and practicing and getting good. he can land ATW and osis sometimes. i love to see the enthusiasm!!!

man, i tried that last year. good luck getting a teacher to support your cause in school. I tired. None went. So bascially it's a restaurant business when it comes to footbag club...good luck!

yeah i am with Uranos, i started about a month and am one of the new people in MFC also one other of the guys is from my school. Last year we have a regular circle (about 10 people) at school but they lack real conviction but if i show them what a month or two of solid work is they might purchase Laver's and get into it more.

I love getting new people into footbag, but it's even better when they actually stick with it, instead of just going through a phase.

Ive been really amazed by how much some of the people Ive shown footbag have accomplished.

Derrick from my club was one of the first people in Kingston to take to footbag and he has gone insane with it! Now I have someone hot on my tail always pushing me to keep progressing.

People have been pretty flakey lately though.. I neeeeed to get more people playing! I want a massive club!

I've gotten several people at my college serious at shredding, and most of them are starting to flake out. Of course, there's one that frequently surf these boards and is progressingly getting better (Bagira) and I'm seeing a lot from him. When the weather gets warmer I definitely want to see some moves strutting from some of these guys, even if it's a simple string. :wink:

Hell, I need to work on my strings too. I'm starting to get down on my game. :oops:
