I've been watching a lot of anime and youtubeing "shoa lin" and I have seen some pretty crazy stuff and some pretty strong people. Will any footbaggers take it to the next level?

Yeah I dont get it either, what do you mean "taking it to the next level?"

Sounds kind of intriguing though.

Already there mon frere!

I've been practicing Wing Chun Kung Fu and some Tai Chi Qi Gong for 4 yrs now. Well, only like one yr for Wing Chun, and 4 for just some Shaolin and the Qi Gong.
Ever been on a rolercoaster?? You know that feeling you get, that rush?
That's what it feels like when you raise your chi.
It's super fun stuff, but requires alot of "outside the box" thinking, and alot of patience. It's also good to have a guide.

But my ultimate goal is to develop a solid 'Root', because even though you develop an immovable stance, you become lighter on your feet. For this, all you need to do is stand in 'Maboo', or 'Horse Stance' for extended periods of time, every day. With your feet a little more than your shoulder width apart, sit down with your toes facing forwards and your knees at a 90 degree angle. Extend your arms out in front of you with that 'Shaolin' fist thing where your index and thumb make an "L" shape, and your other fingers are bent at the first knuckle for focus if you want, but this burns energy and makes it harder to keep your stance.
I shouldn't even say that that's my ultimate goal, because truly I wanna fly....WILL FLY!!

Just trust me on this one, ppl can so too fly

And then I can apply that to footbag, and do the most insane tricks errrrrrrrrrrer.

Big surprise there.

Edit: Here more to laugh at:

I'm guessing its a combination of hypnosis, wishful thinking, and outright lies.

Theres definitely some groupthink, peer pressure, and egotism ("look how powerful I am!") going on too.

They just say that isn't "true" chi though.
