Hello Modified!

Hello everyone! Im new around here, and I guess an interduction is in store. Im Eric, or Eroick. I just started footbaggin' a few days ago but I'm starting to learn some freestyle. I have a really crappy footbag, croached. I think its made by a brand called ButtaBag or something like that. I also have a sipa and a Wham-O hackysack. Which all suck. And I use crappy running shoes. But anyway, I can stall and clipper and stuff. Im from Ottawa, Ontairo, Way up here in Canada! Anyone else from around here? I can't order off of the internet so does anyone know where I can buy a sandbag around here

?

See you all around the fourms!

Welcome to modified! And I believe they have a footbag club up in Ottawa.

Welcom, eric! I dont think there is such a place to buy sandbags in stores since they are made and sold exclusively online, but maybe if you beg hard enough!

Also, I find that the shoe is more important than the bag. Get yo' Lavers!

If you can clipper after a few days, I wouldnt worry about it, your learning INCREDIBLY fast! I still cant clipper!

Anyway, welcome, and get some lavers and maybe a facile mr. sandbag if your parents let you.

Im looking at some of these Laver alternatives too. Im thinking that I can find them easier than Lavers. Maybe.
I also want to try stitching my own bag. I found http://www.valinet.com/~dbotkin/sew.html <- that and my Mom has some fabric scraps, thread and needles lying around, so its worth a shot.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

[EDIT]: And by the way, I have been going at freestyle since yesterday, and before that I only circle kicked, and the last time I did that was in the summer. Feel free to add me on MSN (I like talking

). Great fourm, props to the admins and mods.

i wouldnt dude, lavers are about the best you can get besides Clima Cools, or G-units, or gravis dunbars(extremely hard to find)

Yeah seriously, you can get a pair of mesh lavers at finish line for 30.00, so I'd go for it. I'm using another type of tennis shoes at the moment, but once my friend let me try on his lavers and I was hitting tricks WAY easier than before.

Wow, drew finally gets something right.

When I was at finish line (where I bought mine) they were all leather. (I bought a pair, they work great for me) but there are some sites to get mesh lavers for $30 (you have to get womens though, mens are $60) Drew likes wearing womens clothing, so he bought those

Lol. When I went there to the store though, all they had were leather. I bought a pair and they kick ass.

I wouldn't use those!!

The hi-top will restrict your range of ankle movement and they wwould be harder to mod... I'd make the extra effort of getting good, mesh, low-top Lavers.

Hakker · Post by **Hakker** » 29 Apr 2006 11:18

Yeah, I said they were fugly in my post, but they just said no mesh. Hi top or no, they are mesh

Where in Ottawa are you? If you can clipper and stall pretty well then we're at the same skill level. I'm in Barrhaven, west end.
