Why do you like footbag?
I like footbag because of virtually every aspect. It is a relatively low risk trick-sport, you do not need to go ANYWHERE special to play; which is nice in the country, it is pretty cheap, you get awesome looking shoes and calves, and you are using a formerly underappreciated movement/surface of your body! Also, being ambidextrous is an awesome feeling.
Favourite people?
EVERYONE! That is another thing about footbag, I haven't met a footbagger yet that I did not like. Every "crew" I play with, I begin to feel like a family member, you are always appreciated, and you can feel a serious sense that you "belong" there.
Favourite experiences?
I think that hitting a certain trick or drill is almost priceless, however, something that makes footbag really awesome is whenever you play with another person, who sees and recognizes all of the hard work you put into that feat, and then congratulates you on it. "props" are just an amazing ego booster.
And more!
Without footbaggers, I would not have many other non-footbag related things in my life. I mean, you, Erik Chan, introduced FAT to bubble tea, in which case Lackey introduced it to me. Without footbag, I would have likely thought it was a disgusting thing, and never thought to enjoy it. That example is obviously superficial, however I think you get the idea

Why do you like footbag?
I don't like footbag.
I LOVE footbag. When I play footbag, I don't think of anything else. and when I do, I drop more and get pissed at myself. But, it's like a meditation for me.
to tell the truth, more of the training solo sessions are not really fun for me. However, coming to the end of it and having something awesome to post on modified when I'm all exhausted and having a beer IS fun. So those are worth it to me.
what's really best about it is the shred sessions, and the people there. I LOVE kicking with the RFA, and seeing people that I've watched play since day one of their freestyling hitting moves and combos that I've never even come close to. One of the more recent times I kicked with Paul Agostinelli, he mentioned that he'd hit neo symp rev whirling gyro toe. I heard that and I said "nooooo" and didn't believe him, and he hit it first try!!! NUTS.
I also love meeting people in the freestyle circle because I know that, most likely, we have a lot in common and we will probably be friends. basically, I love footbag because I love footbaggers.
What are your favourite aspects?
Kind of like what gray said... The community aspect is so strong that you can call up one of the best players in the world and just go hang out. I also love the freshness of it all, how we're all doing something groundbreaking together (well, the poles mostly, anyway).
Favourite people?
Mike Anello. Mike is smart, talented, creative, and so giving. and TOLERANT! I can be an asshole and a flake sometimes, and mike has never once gotten mad at me. He's only given me a dirty look once since I've known him, and I deserved a lot worse than that, because I was being a prick while I was frustrated at a session.
Recently, I stood at his wedding as one of his groomsmen. The morning of the ceremony, we sat down right by the water of Lake Erie and had the last jam session of his bachelorhood, and it was the best guitar playing I've EVER heard from him! and I think I played okay too. It was just such a perfect moment, to be sitting with one of the very best friends I've ever had, and one of the best people I've ever known, jamming out before his wedding, just me and him. Perfect. and he gave a short, but beautiful speech at the reception. Just so touching.
That's what's so great about footbag, you meet that kind of people.
Also, obviously, Tom Mosher for all the reasons I've mentioned a million times before. And so many others have just been wonderful people to have in my life. Chris Dean, Nasty Nate, Peter Irish, Erik Chan, Dave Clavens, Jorden Moir, Fine Schwengbeck (yeah right, I WISH she was on this list
). The list goes on.
Favourite experiences?
the "Breaking the Cycle" gig with Tom and Adam stands out. My recent trip to london was cool. Worlds 2004, my summer of footbag in 2005, staying with Peter Irish for 4 days before Funtastik. Those are just the creme de la creme, though. I LOVE footbag experiences of all sorts. There have definitely been lots of tournaments where I was too stoned and playing like shit and pissed off (chilly philly 04-05 comes to mind) but they've all been great experiences. Even at that tournament, where I was hating myself, I met Felix Zenger for the first time, and got to watch jorden blow it up in a dirty subway station, and had fun rocking out with tom mosher. So, once again, the list goes on.
And more!
Stitching and always being able to make $30 is cool.

I can't really describe why I love footbag, except for this: I don't know what I would do if I didn't play, and love footbag. I wouldn't be exhausted at the end of the day, I wouldn't have a reason to tell my bosses at work that I only want to work 3 days a week, I wouldn't have the friends that I do, I wouldn't have had the experience of staying at La Sauna R.A.Z.A, I wouldn't have been hoisted on top of Dat's shoulders to save a takraw ball, I wouldn't have witnessed Jeremy Mirken whirr Mike Hansen's cell phone into the ground, I wouldn't have competed against some of the best in the world in Rippin' Run and gotten 4th place, I wouldn't have a video camera, I wouldn't have $500 worth of cloth and lead shot on my desk, I wouldn't have owned 6 pairs of the same shoe, I wouldn't buy tiny thin socks, I wouldn't save old Apple Juice containers for water, I wouldn't duct tape carpet to my dark slanted basement floor, I wouldn't be in near as good of shape as I am, I would still be stuck playing soccer and tennis knowing I would never be great.
I wouldn't be Henry Griese without footbag

Unlike most sports such as football or basketball, with footbag you can actually tell you're getting better within a reasonable timeframe.
You don't have to go anywhere.
Its GREAT exercise and it really gets those endorphins flowing. By the end of a session my mind is just blank and all I can do is sit there. Its great.
Its very unpopular and I enjoy doing something unique and surprising people. It takes determination and coordination and skill.
Its just....cool!

One of the reasons I like footbag is it's a life saver. I can't of how many times I've gone out to party for the night, drank some beers and got pretty high. Only to have the party end abruptly, leaving me to drive home, drunk and high. I always make sure to leave some shoes in the car because then I go shred it off.
Works every time. Thanks Footbag!

Re: I <3 footbag
The main thing I like about footbag is that it's played by people who play for the love of the game, nothing more. It's not tainted by many of the things that mainstream sports get ruined by.
I like that there are pretty much limitless possibilities. You can develop the tricks and links you want to work on. Everyone can have their own style. I also like how it's pretty much impossible for this sport to have posers. You can't be good at just a few tricks and make it look like you're good. You have to put in the time to get good, natural talent only goes so far.
Favorite peoples: Cody Rushing, Zeb Jackson, James Geraci, Kevin Crowley.
Favorite experiences: US Open 2006, Montana Freestyle Jam 07.
I think footbag helps teach a lot of important things that are applicable elsewhere like patience, hard work and humility.

Why DO I love footbag?
Well first off, it's single-handedly the best sport ever! It's fun to play alone or with a group. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
It's pretty cool to play on campus, because a lot of people haven't been exposed to it before and either become interested, or they freak out because they think you're an alien with superpowers. (true story) ok, no not really but sometimes that's what I think is going through people's heads, judging by their menacing stares.
Ok back on track...I just like sports that require skill and perseverance. I like that you can set goals, and I just get addicted to the feeling of hitting a new trick. Makes me get all giddy for days. I was first attracted to it because it just looked cool, just really WOW'ed me. (I thought I was pretty badass for doing a toe stall or a jester kick). o_0 After that I was hooked.
I'm still relatively new so my experience is limited.
On of my favorites was playing in this plaza in center city on top of an enormous kinged checker piece. So I was like elevated 4 feet above passer byers doing my thing. Was pretty awesome.
My favorite people?
I would pretty much have to say everyone I've met so far. I love this sport a lot because there are so many kind and interesting people involved in it. THere's a strong sense of community. Anyone who plays is pretty much open to meeting/hanging out with any other fellow footbagger because there are so few of us.
Specific people:
Jon Schneider (an amazing person) very unique style, very encouraging, very cool person to play with. Also Tom Stepek the first person I've ever seen footbag (became my teacher) has a wicked pixie set. Does a lot of pixie ducking ____. He's hit some pretty tough tricks and has great form. Chris Balch, very cool kid, has a cool style, I can only hope I will one day be that good. Drew Martin and Benny are really cool players, I really enjoy some good shred with them. I'll also mention, Weylon and Chris Miller I have bags from both of them. Chris pretty much taught me to stitch and got me started with some materials. They both make sweet bags and both have a pretty awesome game.
Also my friend Drew and Hobbes...we're pretty much all at the same level. yeah...Good people.

Why do I love footbag?
Before footbag (and before hackysack) my body was just a carrying case for my brain. Footbag helps me feel a mind-body connection which I haven't ever felt doing anything else.
I love that I'm not sitting around getting fat. I love that I'm in the best shape of my life.
I love setting a goal that doesn't mean anything to anyone but me, and reaching it just because I want to. I love that rush of hitting a new move, especially one I once thought was impossible for me to do. I love hitting something after hundreds of attempts. I love realizing "hey, I could do this" and then doing it.
I love that footbag is really a small group of people, compared to other sports and activities, and there's no arbitrary 'authorities' telling me how I need to be playing. I love how there's no objective measure of success.
Favorite people?
I'm afraid I'll forget somebody, but how can I not send a shout-out to CIC? I'm really grateful to all the guys -- Zeke for doing so much to bring me into the footbag world, Tom & Reile for all their encouragement, Tim Werner for being willing to kick with me even when I couldn't string two tricks together.
Freddie for being my 60618 partner even when I get all pissy about how I'm playing & for being down to kick all the time. All you guys for being my friend at a time when it seems really hard to meet people that I don't want to punch in the teeth.
Henry - repping WI to the fullest. Zach Jahner - great dude, something about his style inspires me to learn, even though it seems unattainable at times. Reid - very encouraging & helpful, but more importantly is fun to kick with, really appreciate his attitude about the sport.
I think that's all for now...

Why do you like footbag?
What is there NOT to like? I started out from playing the usual hack you find at college, and it helped passed the time. Then I wanted to better improve myself and set my goals to learning harder tricks. Of course, as time passes on, doing moves with better and proper form gets me going more and more. There have been times that I was down and out, even to the point of quitting due to the massive injuries that I sustained from multiple ankle sprains on my left ankle. But I figured that I have to progress even further, to play carefully and controlled, and to strive for a fulfilling life with this sport - inextricably named 'footbag.' It would be too early for me to quit when I still have strong attachments to something that I love.
I feed on the feeling of bettering my form and playing well. Even if I have to get down to basics. I like feeling healthy and fit. If I didn't start footbag, I would be have been overweight and would be witnessing problems of high cholesterol like the majority of my family.
Also, since my mother and grandmother were seamstresses, and my middle sister was big on arts & crafts (she's more into graphic design these days, but stitches dolls out of fleece from time to time), I eventually got hooked. You can say I'm following this long tradition of using needle and thread in my family. And I love the fulfillment and hard work in stitching hot bags not only for myself, but to people that are interested and whom I adore.
What are your favourite aspects?
I like the feeling that I don't get an intimidated aura from better players when I socialize with them. That's just one great thing about footbag: everyone is human. Well, some can argue that's an understatement, but the philosophy is the same. It's easy to make friends in this sport, just by simply talking to somebody through a post on modified, footbag chat, or playing in a circle with them. I also enjoy getting tips from players to help improve my form, no matter how critical. I want to strive more and more, to fulfill a solid shred style of my own that people can be proud to see.
Without footbag, I would just be another Asian American complaining about not getting into a stupid college like Stanford, worshipping education and money, looking at my future through the best financial means necessary, finding a girlfriend that - traditionally - my family can only accept (and who would most likely be an idiot and a gambling gold digger with a faux personality), and still have trouble trying to fit into the American dynamic. Footbag has changed my very being, and I feel as though I'm a living example of what is NOT stereotypically an Asian American in the East Coast. I also feel that I'm a more outgoing person, even if I'm not a very talkative one imo. I feel, with every public session that I have in a plaza or street, people are watching me play and know what and who I am, and I'm not the usual shy minority that tries to avoid public contact.
Favourite people?
People that I've met in footbag! I love talking to people that know and play footbag, because it's all that I can really relate to in some way. All of NYFA, Ben Roscoe, Chris Dean, Matt Cross, Pengpeng Du, Tom Mosher, Benny Kellman, Ken Somolinos, Taishi (!)... the list goes on and on. If you are a stitcher, you are my best buddy and I can go on and on and talk for hours about stuff regarding footbag making! If you're a very competitive person and tries to make stitching competitive in terms of elitist quality - not so much. It kills the mood and my enthusiasm.
Favourite experiences?
There's too much to tell. I guess one experience that felt somewhat surreal is when Matt Cross visited NYC to do a demo for Wicked Vision, promoting the FunKix bag. It was snowing then, right around February, i think. My memory is pretty blurry, but we went to several places for 2-3 days after his long tiring sessions at the Toy Fair busting hard with this HUGE bag, and we just had a good, quiet time around the city of NYC. Probably because whenever I get wasted and seriously 'geeky,' I become deathly mute.
I just remember good beer, good food, good sushi, and nice dessert at some exotic cafe at St. Marks.
And more!
I like girls that like hacky.
