That sounds odd, maybe you got a 30-minute special.

and needless to say HOLY SHIT ZEKE! what an intense collection!

Is that one huge shipment or each time you get a new bag do you take a shot?

either way, fantastic collection, I have a felix and a carol too, good stuff.

I've rolled it around in my hands a bit to start the break-in process and kicked it around a few times. It's still pretty much a new bag though. With so many new footbags, this Abshire might be one of the last that I'll break in. I've gotten a few Richie's in the past and have almost never been disapointed with the product. I'm confident this will be no different so I want to try out the bags from other stitchers.

No, it's not one shipment. I started buying bags earlier this year. One or two at a time, whatever I could afford to spare after bills. I'd like to eventually add a Lon, Wilson and a Mirken to this collection.

How much did all of those cost you?

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 01 Sep 2004 14:35

They average out to just over $32 USD a piece

Did I make the wrong bag? If so, I can take care of that. If you ordered it from another site, then it would be up to them. Richie

richardabshire · Post by **richardabshire** » 02 Sep 2004 10:04

Oh yes. Any bag out there that is an Abshire, I made it. I will be selling more specific color combos to websites and the custom part will be on my site coming out soon. Hope this helps,Richie

Here's my new abshire from monster hack. It's my first 32, and I love it. My mr. Sandman had numerous holes in it. I am not sure how broken in it is, I have been working it in with my hands for a while, but i don't really know what to expect.

That's a normal CD in the picture to try and give you a size estament.

Gotta bag to post ->

My ultrasuede light finally came and this is the first bag I've made with it.
It's actually bright violet and bright yellow, but my webcam sucks ass.

I now have 5 more bags worth of patterns cut out and I'm working on my second!

Ok, I decided to post a pic of my footbags since I'd never done so.

http://photobucket.com/albums/v421/vael ... tbags2.jpg

Alright, upper left we have my 120 panel Matrix from footbags.com. I bought this bag first thinking: "wow, 120 panels is awesome!!!" It breaks in about as well as a coconut.

Under that is the first 32 I ever purchased. It's the blue and orange intersecting pattern tiny Mirken bag. I managed to snag that one right before he ran out of time to stitch and it's the most broken in of my bags; making it my favorite as of right now.

To the right of the 120 panel piece is one of my two Abshires. My brother has the other one which I intend to snipe back from him at some point. The Abshire is breaking in nicely and is up there in terms of my favorite bags.

Next in line are my two Mr. Sandbags. The blue/black one is dead and has no sand in it. I keep it just to have, in case I decide to fill it up with seed beads or something. The red/black one is my newer sandbag... still goin' strong!

To the right of those are my two stalling stars which I won for posting tricks on stallingtricks.com, which is a sub-site of footbag.com. They're a bit worse than the Mr. Sandbags but they perform just fine for my purposes and haven't lost nearly as much sand as my dead blue/black Sandbag.

In the middle of the pic are the three footbags that my brother made. I got him into the sport while he was over my house, and he seemed to take a liking to sewing more than kicking... so he just supplies me. They're quite choice now that I gave him some filler tips, if I must say so myself.

Well, that's the lot of them, I'm sure I have some other crappy ones around somewhere, but that's all I could find. No, I didn't name any of them... yet...

Peace.

any way we can buy from your bro?

RipWalker · Post by **RipWalker** » 09 Sep 2004 18:35

I don't think he's still making bags at the moment. If he starts again and is looking to sell, I'll definitely let you guys know.

Peace.
