If You Had Millions

Splint · Post by **Splint** » 20 Feb 2006 23:11

With the recent $365,000,000 Powerball Jackpot I got to fantasizing (again) about what I would do with that kind of money ($177 mil cash payout).

Everytime I get going I think about how much I would give to Footbag. I would definitely start with a million to the IFPA to start a full blown foundation for footbag. I'd follow up with fully sponsored and well paid footbag teams that would travel to tournaments and special events.

What would you do?

cool topic. Should be interesting hearing what everyone would do.

After paying off all debts and everything, I would buy an Island and build a house on it. The house would be fully pimped out with 100 inch HD TVs in everyroom.
If i won 100s of millions, I would make sure i had enough for me and my family, i obviously wouldnt work at all except if it were somthing i wanted to do. I would invest enough of it in stocks or whatever to make sure i was secure for life than the rest i would give away to whatever charities would do the most good. With 100s of millions you could probably help cure some diseases.

I'll tell you what I'd do with a million dollars. Two chicks at the same time. That's what I'd do.

I guess people who look like that would have to pay for it...

--Muay Thai, Aikido, Jiu-jitsu, Kali
-Expand footbag collection
-Make new footbag shirts
-Buy a 3 story building dedicated to footbag:
--Two floors for footbag tennants and visitors
--One whole floor for indoor shred, net and 4 square
--Padded floor w/ rubber surface
--Multiple cameras to cover every possible angle
--Multiple jacuzzis
--An ugly in-house masseuse
-Take CIC to every tournament possible for a year
-Large donations to IFPA, Freedom and Revolution

oh man i was dreaming about this too!

i would also probably donate huge amounts of money to the IFPA.

first of all i would set up a huge shred quarters here in winnipeg, and it would be a house as well as a shred/ work out/ rehabilitation place with like 10 large suite apartments built onto it as well. i would invite my favorite players to come live and train here full time. i would also dump alot of money into competitions here in north america and get them up to par with the bigger european comps.

i would give tom mosher a heap of money to get the footbag shoe into production. i would of course have to have pair #2 that came off the assembly line (tom gets #1). maybe i'd buy a shoe company and force them to sell the footbag shoe.

then i would probably buy a big bus and get it painted really cool with "Hackrifice" down the side so our gang would never miss an event in north america. it would be decked out like carl cox's tour bus. getting to comps would probably be the most fun.

i would also probably donate huge amounts of money to the IFPA, as well as getting the canadian association up and running. i would also probably sponsor lots of teams and players and get them out to more competitions.

i probably would also buy a share in a popular night club, and start bringing some big names through winnipeg. and i'd buy a little pub, because i've always wanted to own one à la cheers or coronation street.

i'd buy some property in paris so i could go and stay there when ever i feel like it. and some land in the cinco terra region in italy for the same reason.

hands down though i would go and spend a good few years just traveling around, possibly on a BMW gs avenger à la Long Way Round.

oh man, i could go on for ever...
i'll stop now

I have no clue
I can't imagine spending that much money
Save it?
Die and pass it on to Kayleigh

I would have a really nice house built:
music studio
trippy pillow room
meditation / martial arts / footbag temple

I would invite people I care about to live their with me, they could bring their friends.

Then, I would go to school and be happy for the rest of my life.

I'm sure I would find goals to focus on.

I would want to start a 4 square circuit.

I would have a nice gym room too

It would be nice

footjoe · Post by **footjoe** » 21 Feb 2006 14:38

i would

- buy a small country

- name it poop smell bad

- and dance to shakira

HG · Post by HG » 21 Feb 2006 16:57

you'd millions of $ to bribe people not to beat you while dancing to shakira

AND the matt kain clone army is a great idea, but i'd rather just buy matt kain and chain him to my ankle, so i can say i have the original.

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 21 Feb 2006 17:08

I've went over this in my head so many times, but there is always different answers everytime. So I'll just list some ideas I have now :

- Pay of Marshall Loan, current loans to WSCC
- I think I would continue my schooling / and work - I couldn't live with everyone I know working and such while I become a lazy ass taking advantage of the luck that came to me.
- I would however, become quite materialistic

- I would help Tribby (roomy/landlord) fix up the house - I would offer to buy it from him also for a hansom amount.
- I would either buy out a couple more houses next to me and do something with them - possible just knock those suckers down so I can have my own street (it's a dead end on top of a hill)
- I would build a large indoor recreation area. It'd be mostly a skate park for friends and what not, huge ass speakers, nice wood floors for shredders / bboys, workout area, and of course, my own arcade built in there

- I'd give away my stupid assed car - I'd buy a 93 turbo supra (not too overdone, but a slick car I've always wanted)
- Purchase a 2006 50th Anniversary Edition Yamaha R6.
- Get a dog <3
- Give my comp away to someone and build a new one that is just rediculously pimped out- I've already done it online and it comes out over 10,000.
- Buy my mom a house in NC.
- Hook each family member and close friend up with something they want.
- Of course donate a large chunk to the IFPA and other footbag sources that I think deserve a hand.
- Go to more events
- Pay for Peng to pimp my website out crazily
- Buy a nice Camcorder and start creating my own DVD's to sell off my website.
- Make some sweet shirts to sell also on my website
- *head explodes* I really don't know- that is LOT OF MONEYZZZZ !

B_Man · Post by **B_Man** » 21 Feb 2006 17:24

- Donate a large amount to IFPA and Freedom Footbags.
- Help pay off any debts that my family owes.
- Construct a home specifically designed to fit my lifestyle
- Travel around the world and kick with every major footbag scene in every country.
- Invest whatever is left and live off the interest.

And after all of that, I would still drive The Storm

EDIT. I'd probably also get myself a few extra pairs of footbagging shoes and footbags

Nightmare · Post by **Nightmare** » 21 Feb 2006 17:25

I would
-Pay off debts
-Get married
-Buy a huge house
-Donate a lot of money to a cancer foundation
-Help get footbag started big aswell as parkour
-Buy myself a pornstar
-Invest in stocks
-Buy my family members big houses and make them secure for life
-Make sure my family legacy was continued on by buying out a company that would make it big

Thats what i would do

footjoe · Post by **footjoe** » 21 Feb 2006 18:32

use it for a fire starter

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 21 Feb 2006 20:02

I'd make and break punks like you

hire a security team to guard my cash
play more footbag and hire people to stretch my legs - it's such a chore to stretch every session

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 21 Feb 2006 20:54

I'd quit my job and drop out of uni. Not sure after that - probably something footbag related - obviously I'd donate money to the IFPA and Ausfootbag, but probably I'd want specific things to happen with the money - rather than giving it them to do as they please. I guess I'd start working full time for both orgs.

You guys have lots of great ideas, so I'll improve on your ideas to start ,and build 20 ft. tall gold statues of the original Big Add Posse members in every town, with the money left over.

-Carl Winslow's house needs HD TV's, covering EVERYWALL, so the house can change into whatever he wants.

-Cut out the center of the third ,and second floor of Zeke's footbag building, so people can dive from the third floor,....into the pool on ground level.

- Add an Air Scooter ultralight gyro copter to the back of the Hackrifice bus, so they can fly, to pick up kickers who live in remote wilderness, or pick up party supplies.

- A 4-square court that delivers an electrical charge to whichever square that loses, with a slightly larger charge for the scorer's square.

- Buy everything at FreedomFootbags.

-Build a massive multi-level, underground bunker for hosting footbag tournaments in the event of hurricane,or nuclear war.

- Hire a top notch , multilayered security force, for each facility and event, with sultry ,Ukrainian Amazon women on the inner layer, and ex -Secret Service teams on the outside.

- Hire a Dream Team of lawyers, to get us out of all the trouble we get into.

-n
