Video: Stitching a Pentagon

19 glorious minutes. It's encoded in Xvid. I'll make another one later for closing the bag. Way too tired right now. Let me know if this video is helpful.

Here's a clearer view of what stitching should look like on a pentagon:

I thought this, but once I tried it, it wasn't really that hard. You'll get frustrated at first, but you'll get better with each bag you make!

Haha, me too. I was like oh hell no, that is way too hard. It's funny how things change/get easier. That was my reaction to footbag at first as well.

like I said earlier, it takes time! For some reason I can't stitch 4 panels, so my first bag I ever tried was a 32. It came out like crap also, but that didn't stop me from trying to get better.

Moral of this story: Don't quit, and keep trying!

So I have been doing it right, thats a relief, but I still have two questions...

1. Is there supposed to be no audio?

2. Are you Dat Phan the comedian?

I took out the audio because there isnt' really anything to hear and my mom was talking loudly on the phone in vietnamese. Plus it wouldn't be worth the extra megabytes to download.

I'm Dat Phan, the footbagger. I doubt very much that the other guy has the physical or mental capacity to play footbag.
