Today after school I was reading a toy advertising booklet (:oops:) and look what I found!

The text goes freely translated like this:
"Footbag that is kicked in the streets and parks is now also available electronic. i-KIX is a sack filled with plastic pellets, and you try to keep it in the air as long as possible using only feet. i-KIX counts every contact aloud. Numbers are in English. Includes unchangeable batteries. Age recommendation: 8+, recommended price: 12€."

(Nice photoshop work by the company.

When hit by a train they break.

Lookin good Jord

It's awesome that so many companies apart from wham-o are picking up footbag as a product! It's gotta be good for the sport to get more kids kicking footbags.

For kicking: maybe.
For shredding: no.

It looks like he's in the middle of a reverse whirl to me. But anyway, MAJOR PROPS JORDEN! I forgot that post a while ago when you talked about doing that promo, but it's so cool to see an ACTUAL freestyler on a footbag package instead of some random person that the package is claiming is a professional footbag player. God I hate those dumb wannabe footbags that say the bags are good for all levels of play.
