I recently got one of these bags from Mark Telman himself. Mark is a footbag player from Michigan who doesnt freestyle but is in love with the sport. He told me when he was young he started stitching, then we he got older he put footbag and stiching together and started making his own.
he sells a variety of bags, most of which are not made of facile but he is starting to make some out of it. I just got a 42 panel and I must say that is plays amazing. Mark likes to use a glass filler that is different from seed beads. They are small round glass beads with no holes. so they wont end up breaking and tearing the inside of the bag up. He accepts payapal and will send a bag out within a few days of placing your order. and only 10 bucks.
As you can see from the picture this particular bag is a lot bigger than most bags. You can order them smaller if you would like.

have you tried the bag?
glass = non toxic
plus its not just glass, its heavier than you think.
and personally I dont like really heavy bags, so its perfect weight for me.

Dude how many glass filled bags have you played with? It's a good idea to have experiance with something before you go ripping it off.
These glass seed beads sound interesting, Toby used glass in his bags for a while, but he could only get glass beads with holes in them so they broke and ended up ripping the bag - but before this happened it made for a grea bag
I wonder if we can find some glass seed in our area...

Are you seriously going to sit here and rip on a product you've never tried?
Have you ever seen Zach play? I'm most definately going to take his word over some negative fuck who's never kicked the bag and would do so in converse anyway, vs a guiltless motherfucker whom I've seen shred it up
