Fear of death.

If not, (I don't know if this is dangerous or not, but we did it all the time for entertainment in Basic Training... so yea.) lean over onto your knees a bit, breath deeply, and rapidly for about thirty seconds. Then quickly stand straight up, and have a trusted friend push his hands up on your arteries in your neck. The fast breathing raises you heart rate, which speeds up how fast the blood moves through your body. By blocking the arteries, the blood will drain from your head in about 2 seconds. Basically, it makes you pass out for 15-30 seconds.

Anything that stops blood going to your head runs the risk of giving you brain damage or killing you. I would advise that people don't follow this advice, and try to remain conscious except when sleeping.

Hahaha yeah we did that for fun in middle school. Til someone got hurt. Then the games were over. He was fine though. I wouldn't recommend doing this, its dangerous. And it will make you snot all over yourself like my friend did.

Ptch, of course. I can't count how many times my life has flashed before my eyes (Blocking the view of the bag so I drop it...) while shredding. Very dangerous shit.

I recommend everyone have a emergency medical team standing by like at race ways.

I normally don't agree with switch, but, seriously every second you play footbag you risk death? Come on. OOh i did an ATW daaaangerous. Ill give it up for the crazy ass tricks, those are something you can brake a bone on. Or maybe youll get dizzy and crack your head. But thats like anything else in this world man.

Theres way more dangerous sports if you really wanna embrace some death. Swim to the bottom of the ocean til you almost lose conciousness, do some flips on a dirtbike, box, parkour, diving, much more death defying than footbag bro. you have a better chance dying in football than in footbag man. I have NEVER heard of anyone dying from footbag, but I have from many other sports, you may say its because there isnt as much of us but seriously? Not all of us are even profressional and no deaths.

He was joking.

I thought he might be but I can't decide between internet sarcasm or not.

You mean you can't differenciate between the two. I hope I spelled that right.

just stop trying to correct people switch! you cant spell for shit so just dont even bother attempting to correct anyone.
though i will laugh if this post is followed by one by you that says something like...

"i think you mean "...dont even bother atemting everone."

another perfectly good thread completely derailed by your friendly neighborhood troll, Fred Allen!

Switch Kicker · Post by **Switch Kicker** » 21 Dec 2006 11:51

Yup, completely derailed because I provided a word that maybe he didn't or couldn't think of. Won't try to help again. And it wasn't to be a smart ass either.

And I wasn't making fun of so and so's sarcastic post about footbag being dangerous, I was sarcasticly adding more to the joke.

Yes... Completely derailed isn't it. It didn't actually get derailed, Matt, untill you made that post.

Switch, what battalion are you in and where'd you train?

Switch Kicker · Post by **Switch Kicker** » 25 Dec 2006 12:55

Delta Company of the 2-135 MN "Red Bulls", trained in Foxtrot Company 219 INF "Punishers" at Fort Benning GA. (Sorry, don't remember which battalion I trained in at Benning, but the battalion's code name was "Sand Hill." Basically, everyone in INF goes to Sand Hill, and if there's too many recruits they go elsewhere inside of Fort Benning.

Why?

I thought he meant like.... internet flaming battalions.. I thought it was hilarious... I still do, even though I'm wrong. YAY!

but .. back on topic.

I was sick yesterday and my friend had an emergency and I helped him out, therefor not getting any sleep and when I came home I started spitting up fluid and coughing the worst I ever have in my life. I thought I might die it was that bad and I couldn't breathe. I don't think I was worried about the actual death so much (although that might be a lie) but I didn't want to go out that slow and painful way. Breathing is your friend

It was worth helping my friends new family though.

Welcome to the world Isiah Michael Guevarra. I'm sure this dude is a future footbagger and musician.. Maybe he'll be the first to really take breakbag to the next level, or whatever its called.

Happy Holidays.

No reason, Switch. My brother trained at Ft. Benning too.

I was once suffering from depression, and as a repercussion of the disorder I was awake for about 14 days straight (NO DRUGS). I don't do drugs. Anyway, after about the fifth day of being awake, I thought I was dying. I experienced blind fear. Stupifying fear. I couldn't think, all I could say was that I'm dying over and over again. It was a fucked up time. Now I'm quite messe up becuae of it. Everytime i lose a night of sleep, I go into shock. I don't believe that I'm dying, but I become very fearful of falling into that mind set. I become too stupid to learn anything in class, or to do homework. Life sucks and then you die. heh
