I've spent a couple of days browsin' and I have to say, you guys have a really nice little community here. I haven't kicked in about 10 years. I was heavy into circle-kicking as I chased the Grateful Dead and Phish around, but as they faded away so did my game. For some reason, the urge to start kicking again recently hit me, and then I stumbled upon this site... now I'm really jonesin'. The Lavers are on order and should be arriving today (my trusty old Vans disintigrated back in '97).
I hope this doesn't come off as blasphomy, but I've never been much into stalls and exotic tricks... and, at 37, it'll probably get more and more difficult to pull off crazy sh*t. I've always just liked simple inside-outside-toe flip juggling with the occasional clipper throw in. Maybe this old dog can pick up a couple new tricks along the way... who knows.
Question: I tend to like a bag that has a little more 'pop' and isn't so likely to settle into one's foot. Any suggestions as to which bag(s) I should try. I picked up a couple of Mr. Sandbags just because I've heard so many of you rave about them... although I'm not certain they'll suit my "game" very well. I have an 8-panel Dirtbag that bounces off the foot really well, but I'm not sure if that is common or if I just have a freak bag. My bag of choice back in the day was the Flying Clipper Legend, but as I remember those had almost too much pop and could be pretty erratic until one had quite a few sessions with them. I know very little about the type of bags that are available nowadays and I was hoping to get a little guidance.
Well... sorry for rambling... but I'm pretty fired up about kicking again. I look forward to chatting with you all around these parts.
Cheers.
