Felix bag filler

Post by jon »

I have been hearing great things about felix bags lately and although I bought a felix at worlds it was one of his old bags with old fill and the colours are dark and the bag is no where near breaking in even after much hand breakin. I was wondering if someone could drain a bit of fill from their felix and post a picture of the type of fill he uses in his new bags along with some sort of size comparison device (like a ruler or something).

Thanks

A bunch of my fill came out but I can take a picture of what I have inside that is working spectacularly.

I'll get that done when I have a working computer.

This is completely irrelevant but props to Adam Dexter for promoting Ontario freestyle online!!!! I remember less than a year ago, probably, I had never heard of any freestylers in Ontario and now you're all over the forum with those signatures. Ontario rocks!!

I still don't have a working camera and so I still can't help you out here Jon, but as Erik has already hi-jacked this thread I think I am going to jump ship with him.

Ontario posts are becoming ubiquitous within the modified community. I like that we have our little name tags to wear, we even have pictures, beat that other places.

Erik, I sincerely hope that one day soon I get the chance to meet/bust with you. There is a crazy hoping chance that exists that there may be some Ontario presence at your jimmy jam in Winnipeg. Fingers crossed.

Jon, I do not have a camera nor any felix fill, BUT I can tell ytou waht we do here in France:
- we empty all the fill (which is a mix of aquarium rocks and little bits of tubular plastic) and replace it with a smaller quantity of lead (can't remember the size, maybe 0.22g pellets). that way the bag is as heavy but with a lot less density.

And they're great to play with that way.

I just want to bring everyone's attention to this.

If you're using lead shot for filling, please discontinue. Lead is POISONOUS!!! We sweat alot when we kick & we wash the bags often. The accumulative effect of lead absorption can be detrimental.

By the way, I'm not certain what Felix uses for fillers, but I know it's not lead.
