Thanks for saying what really needs to be said, Jeremy. If you aren't a tiltless level, hell, if you aren't a GUILTLESS level shredder then you should not be giving advice to people that deviates from the norm (ie lavers, 32's, and mr's). Kicks and toe stalls do not provide enough empirical data in terms of bag or shoe quality. I can shred guiltless with a juggling ball if I want to, but that doesn't make it a prime bag to kick with.

As far as Mr. Facile's go -- I can shred with them, but on the whole I am not a big fan.

Okay, I know i'm a newb, but I still dont think that was a righteous post. What would make you think that your qualified to tell people they arent even qualified to give input to other people and advice. So fuckin' what if a newb gives another newb advice, its still advice, and to tell you the truth I think footbag selection is all your opinion. I think facile mr.sandbags PWN the crushed panne ones (and I have put hours into both). And dont even start to tell me i'm wrong, because that is my opinion, and even you 2000+ post count people dont have the all-knowing status to tell people they are wrong in their opinion or for giving an opinion. Thats just stupid. Damn, its even ignorant.

Do not get anything else

Dude, get the gladiator!

If 4 panels are good, and 32 are better, then 92 must be the best. I myself kick a 354 panel bag. I just learned the Tsunami Death Combo the other day. Don't listen to these jokers ... they dont know squat about footbag. Check out http://www.footbag.com - it's tight!

You're acting a bit ridiculous. Jeremy wasn't trying to attack you. He was stating his opinion. Don't get upset about it. Besides, he's right - AND he has PLENTY of experience with bags. Read up on some old threads from 2003-2005 and what he said back then. Post count may not mean shit, but in his case, it does. As does join date.

EDIT: One of my favorite types of bags were actual facile 4 panels that Mike Wilson used to make. Some of the best bags back in 2000, in my opinion. And I have crushed panne Freedoms from 6 years ago that still shred fine. I'd say go with a Freedom.

Hakker · Post by **Hakker** » 01 Jun 2006 11:40

I guess it was the wrong quote to make, because I know Jeremy wasnt trying to attack me. I also know he has plenty of experience with bags, and thay his advice is probably more valid than mine. What I was really upset about was people saying if you are a newb, you dont have the right to state your opinion. And also, I still dont think post count really means anything. I can barely mirage and it says im a "multidex master". I also know some people with lots of experience that have barely any posts here.

I hate that sight

Newbs should post their opinions, just make sure that they post them as opinions and not as facts. Didn't mean to offend.

Hakker · Post by **Hakker** » 01 Jun 2006 15:17

none taken, and im sorry if I came off the wrong way. I have never, and will never give my opinions as facts, because as skippy said, nobody's word is solid hear-all know-all, even the most experienced players.

Kyle Hewitt · Post by **Kyle Hewitt** » 01 Jun 2006 16:44

Could someone explain this to me? How in the FUCK do you make a mr.sandbag last only 20 hours or 2 weeks? There is no other explaination then your abusing it way to much.

smokefree · Post by **smokefree** » 02 Jun 2006 14:20

Fuck you. I treated that shit like a prince, I seriously think someone was scuffing it when I wasn't there because THATS the only possible explanation. If you come down here and watch me take care of my bags then you can say that, bitch.

Kyle Hewitt · Post by **Kyle Hewitt** » 02 Jun 2006 14:28

Sorry man I didn't mean to yell at you but yeah that is most likely the reason it is doing it man

my advice to you is: Never let that bag leave your side....

smokefree · Post by **smokefree** » 02 Jun 2006 14:50

I have but I learned that way too late.... i leant out my sandmaster for a few and it ends up kicked in a deep surface of water, on a roof multiple times, scuffed and treated with no respect. This is why i got the sipa for non-freestylers to play with. I hate saying "no" to people who just wanna kick you know?

Kyle Hewitt · Post by **Kyle Hewitt** » 02 Jun 2006 15:24

YEah man I understand

Don't get a 32, especially if you're worried about the bag lasting a long time. Get a Mr. Sangbag, made from Crushed Panne, just like Stephen Barnes said.

I've had a few badly sewn Mr's, that didn't last more than a week. Luckily, Daryl is a cool guy and will replace them and about 95% of his bags are great.

smokefree · Post by **smokefree** » 03 Jun 2006 17:43

whats the point in anything bigger than a 32? i see some of these bags and im like..

can you actually freestyle with anything over 32? or are bigger bags just for net?

Hakker · Post by **Hakker** » 04 Jun 2006 08:32

um, I think they are being sarcastic.
