I dont think this one has been said.

Although....maybe I can use it to be a double sword. If they don't let me, then I'll go to higher ups in management and complain about how the staff acts thuggish at the front desk. Maybe then they'll hire me on as a regional manager or somethin and I can promote and teach footbag all over the country! I mean, I'm not being overly-judgemental. I'm pretty easy-going, but they're downright rude at this place. </rant>
The YMCA staff in Orillia are the same way :x ... I hate it

That Ipod-for-footbag-vids idea is great!! I used to be dead-set on not getting anything that'd make my CD's obsolete, but... that's an awsome idea.

I also thought about footbag videos for that ipod vid but I hate ipods with a passion and think they are ruining our society along with certain reality shows. . . and to add to the thread. Here are a few of my personal signs:
1) When thinking about how to defend myself in a fight I immediately consider how deadly the whirl motion would be to the face
2) There's a Seinfeld episode where George does a "move" in bed and he calls it a swirl. . or a reverse swirl. I can't remember which.
3) To get someone attention, I throw my footbag at their backs or their feet (I have deadly accuracy since I was a circle kicker for years before starting freestyle so I'm a natural tosser of small round bag objects). No calling out to them.
4) This has got to be already in this topic already but there are a lot of places I pass by and just immediately think how great it would be to play there.

I used to do that until someone said something about hot water being bad for the bag...

Also, you can't watch all of your videos on an iPod, just Quicktime compatible files. So like, .mp4's and certain types of mpegs is all.


I can't think of anything original to add to the topic, though. Sorry.

most of the videos on flipsider are mp4 format, and they have the massive section. and if it is anything like quicktime you can slow it down from to from, which would be pretty sweet to carry in your pocket.

almost all of these apply to me and here are some of my own.

-When you ask your teacher to go to the bathroom so you can shread for five minutes.

-when youre playing inside and get too hot insead of taking a water break you play outside in the snow in nothing but youre short shorts and lavers.

-you have more Footbag videos on your computer then Porn.

-when you wear your lavers and short shorts under your pants more then 5 days a week. (just in case)

-when you are apartment searching you make sure that their is a room you can dedicate to shreding.

-when the president of your foot bag club tells you you play to much. (what does he know)

-when you have a change jar for the purpose of going to the next big jam

-when your christmas list consists of Lavers, short shorts, and bags.

It seriously amazing how many of these apply to me... Footbag Addiction is a serious affliction with literal symptoms! It's the best affliction anyone could have though. We need to be more contageous :) You could never look at it as like "you suffer from serious footbag addiction"... it'd be like "Sweet!! I'm footbag additcted!!"

-when you need crutches to walk (because of a footbag injury) and attempt to hit shred sessions anyway.

-when you have a specific bank account for buying footbag accesories and trips to jams.

-when your old non-footbag-bank account is completely forgoten.

-When you wear your beat-up crazy looking lavers to a job interview just so that the interviewer might ask about them and you'll get to tell him/her all about footbag.

Seriously... I am heaps stoked for this christmas, really really can't wait... simply because I'm getting a new bag :D

- when you use your breaks at work to work on your ankle crank

- when the fact that there's not footbaggers online bugs you cause you just want to talk footbag :(

- when there are people who only know you as "the hacky sack king"
