Yea I looked at it but there were only 2 listings, It so sad, I was hoping if I could score one off, maybe, a less recognized stitcher

when it comes to skill level everyone is fun to kick with bro, when it comes to personality thats a different story lol

hope to kick with you soon

I highly recomend a raye bag, but i would talk to them about specifically making a bag more for a beginner player, cause most of the bags they make are of a smaller heavier size and that is not beginner friendly.

you want a medium size bag with an average to low weight that will not roll much

hey weasel, you can get a 4 panel from Zeke too; as far as learning, just surf this site, watch videos, and come out to kick with us, i got my first 32 from raye, not too long ago, I like it.

Lavers...online at worldfootbag

Leather is fine if u're willing to cut it off of the shoe. Besides, it's plenty ample for learning mirage/atw. although.. for 12 dollars more off of worldfootbag you could get a pair of "better" lavers. What size do u wear weasel? I have a pair of size 9 lavers that don't fit and are fully modded [toe box is cut off as well]. I traded for them a while ago thinking they'd break in enough to fit into.

who here wants to kick tomorrow? around 2-3 PM

This sunday is the Grand Opening of the new Chicago Fire stadium in bridgeview.
This stadium is only like the 5th stadium in the US actually built for soccer.
I think if you guys would have a big jam right near the stadium, that you could get loads of interested people ... maybe something some people can do in the off-season when theyre not playing soccer.
well anyway, the game starts at 6, but you guys can meet up there at like 2 or 3 and shred til you're dead.

just an idea
peace!

I'm down for kicking tomorrow, but I have furniture being delivered from 3-7, so I may nto actually be free.

Kamil, that's awesome: You're gonna be better, stronger, faster!

Weasel, check ebay too. Also don't worry about ur skill level. We play with people from all levels.

Shawn. South side jam?

~~~~~
Played yesterday with Zeke, Reile and Nathan. All freestyle! Right in front of the apartment. Thought that it might get dark, but it stayed light out until like 9 o'clock!

Reile and I @ the end
We both hit toe drifter>dlo>drifter>dlo. Reile busted is 3rd and 4th gyro DLO and 1st flipside one! I hit DOD>Barfly. I hit blurrier again! I was so happy cuz I hit it last summer and hadn't done it again since. You know how u hit something and u don't feel very excited afterwards. This wasn't one of those times. After hitting it I followed it with two flying chests to Reile. Reile then busted like 2 nice blurriers. I followed it with blurriest, and flipside blurriest first time ever!! Then pixie paradon. Theeeeenn, 1st Paradon swirl ever (from left toe)!
Zulu butterflier.
Mobius. almost flip too.
10 smears in a row! (left toe)

Reil-o, what am I missing?
