Hey guys, I have to do show and tell for spanish class, and I was wanting to do of course, footbag. Before the presentation, we must explain any vocabulary the class dosn't already know, in spanish. Example, if I was explaining a book, I would say it was something with pages that you read.

I must TALK for 3-5 minutes. I was first thinking of brining in budas best and showing them maybe a shred 30, then going on to explain footbag after that.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to talk about? Explaing adds and dexes and such would be way to difficult, so I need to keep to basic, simple stuff.

I could:
-Tell differences between hacky sack and footbag
-Bring in a 32 pannel or two
-Talk about shoes
-Say how there are competitions

Anyone have any other basic ideas? Thanks!

you could bring different kind of bags. 32's, mr.sandbag, hemp, crocheted, net (if you can have one). and talk about the differences btw them

and personnally, id go with the shred30 vid like you said and explain how a competition works ... judging, routines, etc etc

it should be easy to describe the differences between a hacky sack and a 32 panel footbag, then the differences between bad shoes and proper shoes, and then about how much fun it is to go to a tournament and get excercise with your friends. Then demo some tiltless with spanish names. tape it if you can

I did the presentation today. I showed vasek's shred 30 from budas best then it was followed by an "interview", which I showed. After I explained everything. Everyone loved the video. Some people had a hard time understanding the importance of shoes, and my teacher was just like, WTF when I showed them, lol. "Oh my God, he brought a shoe", haha.

Everyone begged me to play, so I just did atw which took me several tries (for a number of reasons). I was pretty nervous.

Overall it went swell and people had a lot of questions. People said my presentation went pretty good. Just an update.

Way to go on promoting footbag dude! Tina Lewis (current Women's Net Champ) and I are doing a demo for kiddies in an Austin suburb tomorrow. Go footbag!
