Imagine the designs you could create on that thing...

That is overkill, but it is almost pretty in the sheer complexity of it.

Drew360 · Post by **Drew360** » 26 May 2006 19:18

^^^^ TRUE ^^^^ it is like a work of art....

I don't see why people would take so much time to make a pos bag..... unless you just love stiching.

Drew360 · Post by **Drew360** » 27 May 2006 16:25

yea there really isn't a benefit from having that many panels except for just the complexity of it (a convesation piece)... all the tiny panels and thousands of stitches probably makes it crazy stiff

I thought about making a high-pannel bag, just to say I've done it... maybe that's why they do it? It's not a really cool story to tell, but I guess it is an accomplishment. I think I'd preffer:

"So there I was... stranded in the middle of Vietnam! I had nothing but a loin cloth made from banana leaves and a footbag. I was surrounded by canibals!" ...and so on and so forth. THAT would be a fun story to tell. Unlike "So there I was... in an armchair for weeks and weeks. I stitched a bag with over 300 pannels!!"

There's gotta be a better reason for making one of these then for the story...

354,-----thats rediculous, why waste your time??!!!!!sure it looks cool but you might as will just make a one panel, lol

I think its awesome. I think the act itself is what makes it awesome and not the outcome. Its about more then footbag itself, its art.

I sorta feel like making one now.. even if i can't stall it, it'd still be fun.

Drew360 · Post by **Drew360** » 28 May 2006 20:13

do it man... it might become a life altering event

or you might just go crazy

setman · Post by **setman** » 28 May 2006 22:18

these bags are hard to stall, i guess.

But what happens when you get 250 panels in and you realize you screwed it up 100 panels back?

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 29 May 2006 08:28

then you say F*** it. and go kill yourself. either that or you just buy one on the internet somewhere and notice it was a waste of your time.

i think its like a mini soccer ball with poly pellets in it .. its 10 cm wide .... the one who did the 3 bags i saw is probably 90 years old now and he started to do them at the age of 20. 40 hours/week all life long haha, i agree its a waste of time but the cool things about it is the patern and the patience to do it. ill stick with 32 tho haha

RawSko · Post by **RawSko** » 29 May 2006 12:42

I think the worst part of making one of these whould be prepping it. Imagine how easy it would be to loose those little tiny pieces! It would take multiple pens in order to have enough ink to trace all the pannels too... no thanks. I thought about it, and my decision is no to make one.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 29 May 2006 13:15

there are other ways to cut the panels, you could make a template and just use that so you get the same size every time
