when buying amarreta, there is no such thing as buying 'a little'

you have to buy in big amounts, apparently you have no choice.

:[ Alright, well you got good bags mate. Can't wait to see how you do on a 32

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 18 Jul 2007 20:39

why?

you think 12's are a step down/ worse than 32's?

you got beef with my bags?

Burrin · Post by **Burrin** » 18 Jul 2007 20:48

No I like them. I just would like to see how you did it. I don't think you should change it at all. It is nice to have a young twelve panel stitcher out there and knows what he is doing. To be honest I like the idea of it cause they are cheaper. I was just wondering how you would do them :]

well ive tried 32's. they arent bad but they arent good enough to sell and im not willing to take the time to practice to get better at something that so many are already selling. id rather stay different from most and sell 12's. its nice to not be on the bandwagon.

Yeah you do have a good point. Just remember there are also many different types of 32 panels.

Keep up the great work Ben

can you make me another 12 panel, about the same size as the green machine? Those micro ones are too small for me. I liked that big green one. Do you use plastic fill at all? or still just lead? because I think the fill would do better with some more body, but not more weight.

props on making good bags.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 20 Jul 2007 06:20

yea, i can make another one like it, most of my bags these days are that size anyway. i actually just started using plastic aswell. i tested one out and it performs very well!

Do what you think is best, Ben. Your 12s are looking hot hot HOT! Those types of words are always good to hear.

I might trade a nicely stitched 12 from you for another 12, or a 32 if you wish.

Although, and this is just my opinion, but I'm a bit displeased on how you're limiting yourself to just 12s only! It's not a bad thing - far from it. But should you want a bigger challenge, or just frankly stitch a 32 panel, I think you should definitely take that opportunity and DO IT. Do it for yourself.

Stitching is just so great! You can do so much with just a simple template and stitching out a hot bag of your own just from scraps of fabric!

I mean, look at Erik Savage's 92 panel and 8 panel bags. I doubt he just did it out of a simple request from sombody else. I think he just wanted variety, and he put just a little more work into it just to make them look and play solid - all for himself. Nick Landes' 14 panels are hot as well. It's definitely out of the norm, but at one point or another, when the interest arises, I think they both love to/can stitch a good 32 panel bag.

All I'm saying is NEVER LIMIT YOURSELF!

Okay, now I'm talking too much. One too many beers...

thanks waylon, i have made a few 32's and i was un satisfied. i really felt like i had just wated 3 hours of my time. it came out ok but just not good enough. then again in this sport of footbag, nothing is ever good enough.

i might do 8 panels and sell them for a low price. i think its time to experiment with different things. ive stiotch nearly 100 twelve panel footbags. but im not saying i will be stopping anytime soon

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 12 Aug 2007 05:28

yo ben, I introduced your bag to alot of homies at worlds, and in some cases, they wanted to use the tough twelve over the 32's we were rockin. go tough twelve.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 12 Aug 2007 06:12

Shucks.

frozenwalkway · Post by **frozenwalkway** » 12 Aug 2007 19:56

any way to change the weight on it other then like ripping it open and sewing it again? i know 12 panels don't have bleed holes so I'm wondering.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 12 Aug 2007 21:25

why...what do you want? in weight...

no there isnt really any other way.

i have tons of other bags to pick from man.
