*Hmm, I see you can't make polls anymore right? Or have I just missed something? :)*









No, I don't play hacky sack.

I love to hack!

There are way more ways to enjoy a footbag than to just shred.

The only reason I'll hack is to socialize.

After you are able to kick above 500 it isn't a challege anymore and thus not as fun.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

I like hacky sack. I like to get fancy when I hack still, though, I find it's a great way to get people involved in freestyle. But I do fancy stuff in a much more lightweight way... like, i'll wait for the bag to come my way and pendulum it to the other side of the circle, or just do a few kicks and then a symp whirling swirl and pass. You can show off without people thinking you're a "hack hog"... just don't drop too much when you're trying to show off, or everyone thinks you're just lame ;)

hacky sack is great fun, especially with hardcore freestylers ;)
BRICK!

Yeah don't 'pull a Greenwood' and hog the bag until you try some move that you will almost always fuck up and kill the flow of the circle. :lol:

I hack... to break bags in :D

I used to hack a fair bit in school as a social thing. If I was still at school I'd probably still be hacking... we had some sweet hack circles going at aus champs this year. And extreme hack too... which I dismally lost :( On film :(

Zeke LOVE hack.

I can go on and on about how much fun hack circles can be but I'd probably bore you all to death. Just take my word for it.

Yeah, I still like to hack though.

The only thing better than hacking with circle kickers is hacking with freestylers.

a freestyler would never say:

Hack is cool. I'm just not obliged in doing "one kicks" as a rule in some circles.

Yeah. I am, like, the shyest person in the world, but I used to walk up to EVERY hack circle I saw and ask to join. Even non-freestylers are usually really cool and it is a super way to socialize. And you can even impress people just by being controlled at kicking.
I love hacki sacki.

I still love hackysack. I can't wait for spring to come and melt the snow, so circles can start popping up around campus.

I definitely like circle kicking with footbag players. Everybody has a certain degree of control, but has fun with it. And if it drops, it's not the end of the world.
