I remember playing with my brother a couple years back. Just circle kicking. But then I happened to find a bag in my drawer to I decided to start playin again. Then I decided to look for footbag videos on youtube and I was like

. I never knew of freestyle footbag. Its a completely different level of skill.

Anyways to get to the point I have become very interested in freestyle and hope to become better at it.

See all you chicago guys at the taste!

Here are some things to help you on your quest:

buy lavers, and mod them (millions of instructions online)

buy a mr. sandbag from freedomfootbags.com

start with the basics, use both sides equally

put your name in your signature

I'll be at the taste, so I hope to see you there.

Lavers-Already on order
Mr.S-On my desk

Basics-Yea im getting back into the groove of inner and outer kicks as well as toe kicks. I dont even want to try some freestyle moves until the basics are perfect. Im dominant with my right but the left is getting there pretty quick.

what day are you going to the taste? do you know the times buy any chance?

I'm not sure which day I'm going yet. I was going to go both, but decided against it. No sort have event schedule has been posted, at least to my knowledge. There's a thread about it here: http://modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=18945
And the official listing is here:
http://www.footbag.org/events/show/1212769063
So if there are some sort of updates posted, it'll be one of those two places. I'm going to try to go to the day that has the intermediate routines, since that's what I'm hoping to compete in.

I might be at the Taste tomorrow or Thursday. Not sure about my plans for the 4th, something Jingoistic & explosive hopefully. Midwest regionals are the 5th & 6th & would probably be a good time to meet a lot of us.

I PMed you.

I apologize for using "taste of chicago" and "midwest regionals" synonymously.

I was going to go both, but decided against it.

I decided against that, and I think I'm going to go to both days of midwest regionals.
