My footbag history
After graduating highschool I hardly played because my friend didn't really want to anymore so I had no more hackin' buddy. Although I did occasionally 'kick the sack' here and there, but not enough for improvement. T'was in my 2nd year of college that I really got into it. I pulled out the ol' hack magoo crotchet for the college mates, and we had a blast for breaks and class skipping time.
My one buddy Peete amongst our class skipping deliquent group (90% of the class), found a particular interest in footbagging ( a.k.a.: "hacky sack" back then
). So we started shredding more often and then Peete found modified.ca and was looking for shoes and fell upon a google image linking him to worldfootbag.com. Which is when I purchased a "kit" for upgrades. From Vans shoes to Lavers, crotchet hacky sack to a sandmaster, I was well off into the magnificent world of footbag in the summer of 2005. Along with the shoes and footbag came a video "Tricks of the Trade 1" which got me started and educated me on footbag vocabulary and ADD categorization and whatnot. By the end of summer 2005 I went from doing 2 ADD moves to 4 ADD moves. Enough history, it's present time!
So i'll begin by listing all the move i can already do, then i'll begging posting my discoveries, predicaments, interests and queries pertinent to footbagin'
