Walmart has footbags!

Last night my brother went to Super Walmart here in Sand Springs Oklahoma, and I was shocked when he brought home not a crochet hackey sack, but a genuine 32 panel Franklin footbag! It is Even called a footbag, and it sais footbag on the side of it. It is not the best bag for freestyle, but I bet I could rip it up had I the chance.

Lol, that's what first got me into footbag, in the W-M I work part time there was an 8 panel footbag in leather I think with a DVD called ''Can you do over 60 tricks?'' and it was the first time I was seeing footbag as a sport.

The first time I ever saw it, my neighbors were kicking one around in my driveway and i thought it was hard and stupid. Now I think otherwise. I hope some kids buy them!

I have one of those. It now supplies the poly pellets for bags I stitch

It wasn't a total waste of money after all!

Im sure you can do tricks with it, youve just got to break it in really good.

I have kicked with one of these, when they aren't broken in they are unstallable but they get a bit better as they break in, but still not much better than a crochet hack.

Yeah exactly that hehe

But yeah the bag sucks

Yes they do

But the video was helpful but even more intriguing then helpful because it shows me stuff I've never seen before.

I bought one of these franklin 32 panel "Foot Bag" (not footbag)

from walmart too. They suck ass, none of the panels are even. I'd even prefer a crocheted over it anyday. It's pretty cool that a big company like that even makes one.

I can do tricks with a coin when it's not even broken in!!

I got some 32p from a surf shop in town, not so bad actually. Well, they were. They were filled with poly pellets and ridiculously light... once I refilled them with sand they weren't too bad for machine made bags.

Hi beenjammin...
I know that your brother has gone to Walmart and he has found a genuine 32 panel Franklin footbag. I want to purchase the foot bag. Can you please post the image of genuine 32 panel Franklin footbag.
