Wow, that is some amazing news Andrew! 8O

Okay, either I move to Portland to see if I can list my bags under Freedom Footbags, or I'm going straight to Canada to support Kolo Sport. I've been a long time fan of everything Kolo Sport, and it would be my DREAM to sew bags for him!!

Take care buddy and enjoy being a part of the Kolo Sport team! :P

edit: Whoops! First post on a new page. :oops:

Thanks for the compliments!

My mother was actually born "on the land" and my sister and I are the first generation in our family to be fully modernized. We are Nunavut Beneficiaries.

My mother is proud to be Eskimo, but of course, we are officially referred to as Inuit. She had a label placed on her (Eskimo) and actually was given a government of Canada issued Eskimo Number (disc number on wiki). That's the offensive part.

The reason most find it offensive is because we refer to all people as Inuit. We are Inuit, then the Canadian Government told us we were Eskimo.

This is a review for the bag Andrew Dunford made for me in October. After what I can only imagine as a hellish journey through the post office tubes my bag (postmarked October 19) got to me about a week ago. I hope this picture isn't too unflattering:

I showed the bag to everyone in our club today. Everyone agreed it's money. Per my request the bag is a little bit larger than normal. As you can see the bag already pancakes just a little bit and will require no break in. The material is all amaretta and therefore already feels very soft. To make up for amaretta's fragile nature the gather seems to be just a little bit tighter than normal to aid in longevity. I personally also prefer this style aesthetically to bags that look very puffy.

I warmed up using the bag just hours ago with both my old Lavers and a brand new pair of Quantums -- the bag adhered to both surfaces perfectly and I couldn't once blame a drop on the bag rolling. I found that the filler of the bag created a perfect center of gravity -- it stays on my foot for catches and comes off perfectly for sets. I couldn't be happier with this footbag! Weight forthcoming.

If at all possible I plan to exclusively buy Eskimo Bags from here on out. All correspondence I've had with Andrew is quick and professional. He stands behind his bags, and when you buy one you're paying for quality.
