Five Greats

Post by Iron Clad Ben »

So when I was younger I had a subscription to Thrasher magazine which I read religiously, especially in the winter months when it was too snowy out to skateboard in Massachusetts.

Anyways they had a section called "5 Greats" which you could write in and 5 pick 5 "greats" and they would publish it. They could be 5 of your favorite skaters, 5 of your favorite spots, 5 of your favorite tricks or random stuff like neosporin

I thought it would be cool to have something like that for footbag. Just list 5 footbag greats. It could be anything, players, tricks, places, equipment, whatever you want

I'll start off

1 Spins
2 Eggbeaters
3 Camelbaks
4 Monster runs
5 post-session swims

No particular order:

1. Hitting a new trick
2. Having a session that isn't very productive, but is extremely fun and motivational
3. Making a club at school and naming it KFC :P
4. The fact I'm a part of something. I mean, I could be at home doing nothing all day. This gives me some sort of outlet for everything.
5. Playing downtown

In no particular order:

1. Feeling appreciation from people seeing me play and respecting what I love to do most.
2. Wowing people expressively through a very small craft, footbag stitching.
3. Achieving expectations, from myself and from fellow players.
4. Knowing that I have friends all around the world.
5. Having a sunny day in the last day of a tournament.

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87

1. hitting a new trick way above your game first time
2. finishing stitching a bag
3. seeing the words "topic reply notification" or "New modified.in pm from" written on a yellow background in my hotmail inbox
4. the sense of exhaustion and euphoria after completing a sessions goals
5. introducing the sport to people
