Ok, I have long hair and I entend to keep it. (Carol dosn't seem to mind, busting blurry dirfter, So why should I.)
Con's
* Blocks field of vision.
* Hangs the bag on low ducks.
* Needs a lot of attention. ie comming loose.
* Stay wet hours after a shread.
* Knocks the bag away on (poor) spins.
* Tickles you face.
* Chocking hazzard, (I have actually inhaled strand of hair)
* Sticks to you neck after some spins.
* Boss hates it.
Pro's
* Very personal attachment.
* Chicks dig it.
I braid it or add an extra tie at the base of my neck to keep it from draping over my sholders, Hats do help keeping the small strands together but 9 times out of 10 I will lose my hat on a dive.
On the bright side I have worked around most of the flaws and drill 2 hours a day, and have adapted most moves to having long hair. one tip I'll share is Set the bag alittle higher, and drape you hair over the sholder the bag passes first on ducking and diving, most of the time it will center on your back after you complet the trick. Also good posture helps I use to really lean over the bag I have found that keeping my shoulders more upright helps pain in my back also keeps my hair behind me, Insted of hange in your field of vision, this also works on spins. I had a problem getting blinded by my hair slapping my eyes on flipside spinning Pickups and Osis, becaue I was wipping my head so fast to make up for a week spin. But I believe that I can still be great, and over come such petty things.
Now back to more important things like Superfly, Nemisis and Triple spin.
Hair in your barbeque?

Right now my hair is short. But I go from short, to shaggy, to short. I am constantly doing that about every 2 months. I love when my hair gets shaggy, but my girlfriend doesn't. So I just keep it for as long as I can, and then when she yells to cut it, I do.

I know. That's always intrigued me as well. Lol. Damn DNA.Brian wrote:I gots a good beard going now tooooo!
Hey I've always wondered, how does your armpit and pubic hair know when to stop growing. Like it grows out about an inch and once it's at that point it never grows anymore, yet if you cut it, it grows back out to that inch length and stops.

cause body hair is constantly falling out everyday (so is the hair on our heads), when it reaches a certain length it simply falls out and a new hair grows inBrian wrote:I gots a good beard going now tooooo!
