I like the feel of it. And it's funny, but when i break it in by rolling it between my hands it gets warm quick due to friction of the filler.

Every time Vasek busts a huge move or long/hard combo, a planet collapses into the size of a BB. That planet (due to it's small size) loses orbit, and falls to earth. The makers of footfighter bags then collect the fallen stars and put them into thier bags. This explains the reason that the bags get so hot when you rub them (the planets are so dense that they have to let off heat in order not to change the gravitational pull of the universe), and why footfighter bags come broken in (the bags have to be able to move with the collapsed planets in order for them not to leak out and destroy the fabric of time and space)

Either that or lead bb's and rock filler, but I've heard rumors of both :wink:

soooo... is the filler dangerous? Namely if it's lead? I've been rubbing this thing between my hands for hours a day, hopefully not.

A lot of people use lead shot/BBs in their bags, so I doubt it's hazardous. It's the gravel that seems like a likely killer to Footfighters.

Footfighter are filled with quartz sand..or something like that and lead shots...
so the filler is terrible, cause the rocks are sharp and they can cut trough the fibric.

As long as the lead is inside the bag, and you don't put the bag in your mouth, you should be good. If you're changing the filler, just wash your hands after you're done handling it.
