I was just watchin jeopardy and the last question of the round asked something like "so and so kicked this object 69000 times in so and so amount of time". I just started yelling FOOTBAG at the tv over and over again. Of course the guy answered hacky sack and got the question right. I was wondering if he was right. So I tried to first look up the consecutive record and found:
Ted Martin
Total Kicks: 63,326
I am pretty sure the name they listed was not Ted Martin and the number was in 69000 range and not 63000 range. I was really wondering if Ted's record set with a hacky sack brand footbag or some other bag.
I want to write an email to Jeopardy telling them they are wrong if it turns out it wasnt a hacky sack used.
Opinions/Thoughts?

i looked up footbag consecutives, and got some dude who kicked like 980 ish kicks in 5 mins. thats so many.... so many...
it turned out it was a guiness thing from 1998, and the guy was andrew somethin.....
but you should tell jeopardy theyre wrong. i think theyd put your name on tv, and correct themselves, and appologize for giving false info. but they check themselves for correctness im sure. expect a "hacky sack is close enough".
A small round bag filled with plastic pellets or other material and used in games that require its being kept aloft with the feet.
Any of the games in which such a bag is used.
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

Maybe like a year or two ago they had another jeorpody question that went something like "replace the word ball of football with another" and then they showed two people kicking a sack around on a video. The retard that answered said hacky sack, and got it wrong.

I also think the consecutive record is something like 63,000 kicks. It's in the Guinness World Records book, although in the Finnish edition footbag/hacky sack is translated to "hernepussi" = bean bag.
By the way the guy who kicked it over 1000 times in 5 minutes also has the record for most people in a circle, and Ted Martin the record holder was said to be a friend of Andy Linder. This guy does footbag for a living and goes around giving demos an stuff. He goes to my friends church and I met him once.
and got the question right. I was wondering if he was right. So I tried to first look up the consecutive record and found:
