i just joined a Footbag Net team, and its a blast, does anyone else here play footbag net?

incase you dont know. Footbag Net is basicaly Badmittion except with a footbag, you get a max. of 3 hits per side and you have to try and score on the other team...

im just wondering if we got any FBNers here?

I play net occasionaly. I actually got back in touch with one of the net players in the near suburbs and invited them to CIC's B-day Jam. Can't wait to play now, it's been almost a year I think.

Don't you need to use a proper net footbag? Like a hard one?

w00t w00t w00t, someone else within 1000km is interseted in net.

Yeah definately don't play with your freestyle bag, I destroyed a bag in 3-4 kicks doing that once. Overfilled crochet seems to work well.

i used a slightly broken in bean bag... do not! i repeat DO NOT use a freestyle bag, it will mess it up pretty quick

i played net back in feb or march. it was kinda fun. not as much as freestyle (to me atleast). it was fun tho. i didnt really like it cause 1, i drove like 35 miles to play freestyle, and got to freestyle for about 30 mins. and i suck at net. they used real net bags, with a low net. they were real net players. they dont really freestyle much up in murfreesboro. or atleast at mtsu...

Someone should put a net section in these forums, because I really enjoy kicking net. Last year me and one of my friends used to play net over a soccer goal every recess, god I miss recess.

no, i do agree, not nearly as fun as freestyle... but if your with a bunch of hackers who cant freestyle or you just wanna change things up, its just a great change of pace...

brinard - first of all there's no such thing as a low net at MTSU. secondly, sorry about the freestylers going in the rec. center, but freestylers like it indoors and net players like it outdoors. that's all i can say.

stobes - look up the pros in your area. go to the member section on footbag.org and look up jim cobb & yossarian kelley. get their contact info asap and they'll teach you everything you need to know about net in seattle.
