Footbag Pet Peeves

I kinda agree that switching bags breaks any potential vibe (for me at least) I never get too offended and if anything I try and make myself use their bag to keep things simple. -It also looks kinda stupid to passersby when one switches bags. Scott D. sometimes gets by this by starting with a juggle and grabbing one to continue the run but hes a showoff

Going even further than that - I hate when people ALWAYS catch your passes in their hands. Even the good ones. I can understand the awkward flying out of reach ones, but seriously. If it's going toward your knees, don't catch it.

- The Ducks.

- Having no shred spot.

- Winter.

- Losing bags (someone stole my holly bag, I lost my wasabi bag, and I just now realized I'm missing an Aaron Shepard bag)

I hate stepping in duck shit with my quantums. shit on quantums doesn't work. especially if you slip on it.

I feel your pain.

I think I've lost a total of 12 bags.

I think this summer at worlds we were in a circle together at one point and I think I dropped my first trick or something and then without thinking self served and as soon as the bag had left my hand I was like 'nooooooo! what have I done!'.

Anyways, I was super embarrassed but you didn't say anything.

I think it's fine to self serve if you drop your first trick, but if you do it twice, then it's time to pass.

I self serve a shit ton when it's just me and Cody, but I try not to too much when I'm in a circle with people I don't know very well.

Having to explain to some footbaggers why the surface you're playing on feels wonky toward your performance. For example, I wear Quantums. Footbag on wooded floors is not easy in this predictament, but people tend to immediately go on the directive in giving you tips to help your game.

I mean, I know my technique and stature can be awful sometimes (if not most of the time), but I know there are other factors that can contribute to my bad game. Like, I can be in a completely different weight class than some people (weighing in at 135-6, with zero traction on my shoes) can be a proper reason for my discomfort for some surfaces, compared to the opinions of others, especially those who do not wear Quantums.

Just wanted to throw this out there.

i hate it when you learn a move or concept one day, then the next day you have no clue how to do it.

leaky bleedholes especially if the bag has lead..
Having to explain how footbag is different than hacky sack several times in one day( happens at school )
getting pen ink on a bag.
