Freestyle and old people

That's a pretty sweet response I've never thought of that before. Anyway like Peter said I usually get the best response from old people or young kids. At stanford a couple times we've had young kids that have just sat on the ground and watched for a while which was really cool. One time this little kid was trying to imitate me when I was doing it and he was just like hopping up and down flailing his legs, then he'd fall over and laugh. It was pretty awsome. Plus when I was practicing for worlds my grandma would always watch and she told all her friends that I was competeing even though she didn't really know much about the sport.

i had the most fun today with this little kid who was watching me play. we were tossing the bag back and forth, stealing it from each other, running around, and he watched me as i played, of course.
but i also got some good feedback from a lot of adults who were around. didnt really see any 'old' people. one guy asked me if i could catch it on the back of my neck or shoulders or anything, so i tossed it up and did all kinds of head, shoulder, neck, chest, etc stalls. he laughed and said 'yeah, i guess you can!'

When im playing outside my home here in the UK during the summer time there are these two people about middle aged always praise me on my skills in footbagging, even though im still a beginner and you guys own me at shredding.

at school me and my friend have started to hit mirages and legovers with regularity and all our friends are just whoa and then there are the teachers who shout out those 'ooohs' and 'aaaahs' that we all love to hear. I love it when you get that kind of response from peers but i am still waiting for the 'absolute strangers praise' but can't be too far off i reckon
