Self Serving

I will self serve only with the encouragement of my circle-mates. I never self serve after a run.....only if i'm trying a hard single trick and whoever is next says "Try it again".

Otherwise self serving sucks.

I really don't have a problem with it. It's alright.

I used to not care about self serving (unless at a tourney or jam), but lately i've tried to take it out of my game entirely. this will force consistency since you only get one shot at a string (until it makes its way back towards you

)

I dont think I've posted in this topic either because it says I havn't voted yet. Normally, I am against self serving except for the reason above. Sometimes me and my brother play "two tries". During this weekend I was kicking with some new kids and one of them asked me what I could hit, this is another acceptable reason to self serve.

Self serving...is a bit like masturbation

Everyone does it private

But it's just generally innapropriate when done in public, especially in front of strangers

Typically, I do not self-serve. It probably stems mostly from the fact that I used to circle hack a lot. I still don't self-serve, unless I just want to try a move again real quick because I missed it. If I hit it, I won't even continue the string. That happens rarely anyway.

Most of the time, if I don't get the bag for very long, the person I serve it to will serve it right back, giving me a rebate. I find it's a better principle to not self-serve, as footbag should be about giving energy to others and trying to be as selfless as possible, especially in a circle.

Actually, I've been playing with friends a lot in public, and we train during lunch together. Training=self serving
