I enjoy abshires. I respect the man who has dedicated his time and energy all these years in pushing footbag further with a quality footbag. My first 32 was an abshire, and it's very choice and floppy now.

Whoa richie, no one hates you. Wow, far from it. My first 32 was also an abshire, and its no doubt one of the top 5 best bags ive played with.

You're customer service is the best ive experienced i think. The bag i first ordered from you (from monsterhack) took over a month to get to me, i emailed windsor, and he had you make another for me. They both got to me within a few days. So i had 2 abshires for $30. (I gave one away though to Jesse Malouf, who didnt have any bags to play with)

You're bags are great, but I *personally* have played with bags that were better than some of the best abshires ive used. The list of the top bags ive played with would probably be like this

1. Lonn Irish
2. Felix Zenger
3. Richie Abshire
4. Fred Touzelet

who knows, maybe theres a bag of yours out there that tops any of those.

2 bags I recieved from Mark Telman from a trade.

Both leak like hell. The one on the left wouldn't last 1 session.

yea, i think mark glass beads a tiny tiny bit too small but his bags are such great quality. just fix that filler man!

Thanks Ben,

To every one Else I am sorry. There is an Excuse but you all don't need to hear my issues. let us say that LIFE got in the way and someone was in a hurry to recieve his trade bags and I rushed. That is my mistake for rushing.

I use a fine filler and it does tend to leak out of the bleed holes in the smaller bags. I am fixing this with a new pattern. I think I have fixed it. Jullian will find out first as I am finishing his bag next. And if that one leaks I will fix or replace it too, but it won't.

Anyone who has a leaky or broken technokicks bag.. please PM me and I will fix or replace it

As for the BS that was posted. I think that some one who never makes mistakes is full of SH** and a post like that Is SPITEfUL and Selfcentered and inconsiderate of anyone else. I don't care if that person ever get a technokicks bag. The only reason I am even Righting this part is due to the overwelming need to take a "Spliting heads Road Trip" But I don't care about one persons underrated unskilled assesment of me and my bags. I am sorry you rushed me while LIFE was in the way but you could have been discrete and might have gotten what he wanted but now he is just stuck with 2 leaky bags.

I will be happy to send bag those bags that were sent to me but will not take BS like this. I don't know who you think you are, but Your bags are not perfect either.

enough RANt for now. to every one else I am sorry about this and it should not be an issue for any other bags and if it is I will fix it

Thank You all
Mark

I am sorry you rushed me while LIFE was in the way but you could have been discrete and might have gotten what he wanted but now he is just stuck with 2 leaky bags.

if someone pays you money for a footbag, you need to make that a quality footbag rather than rush... no matter how discrete the person is about how they feel about your bags. they paid you money and no matter how much they embarrassed you, you should fix your mistakes. no one should be stuck with 2 leaky bags if you know you fucked it up.
if someone wants a footbag asap, you need to make it at the pace that you feel comfortable of making a high quality footbags. i take almost 4 hours to make one 32 panel... theyre not always perfect... but mine never leak. maybe you should take less orders if you feel so rushed.

my comments arent any sort of attack at your footbags or feelings. its me pointing out your bad attitude so you can fix it.

Thank You Holly, Now somthing like that is more along the line that I would think. I agree that I F'ed up and would like every one to know that I would fix any bag. I don't like what was done. He did not pay for that bag. It should have only been one. And when it left here it did not seem to leak. I did not kick it so I do not know. I have had some others come back for leaking bleed holes and they all came from certain colors that I was 'pinching' in the bleed holes. I think that I have fixed the issue and I would be more then willing to rectify this issue but why??

I just don't like the hater attitude. I don't know what else to say. I don't think this should be trash talk. I don't care if the bag falls apart when it gets there. As I am a proffectional I would have more care about what is said. I don't like the fact that a person would not contact the manufacture with an issue instead o just telling the world that they suck. Ignorance is bliss ...

but only to the ignorant.

Thank You Holly for your comments and I know that you are right. I shold not have sent Questionable bags even if they were on trade. Trade is like cash so I should treat it as so. So once again I await any other comments.

Mark

I just want to say that my bag wasnt leaking a little because of his stitching, its just because some of my darn friends roughed it up a little too much and the beeds came through a tiny tiny hole. i repeat: nothing wrong with marks bags....at all.

they are M-azing

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 05 Apr 2007 11:39

I just think you should stop using 'White' facile, Mark. That stuff is way too supple and prone to pilling than any facile I know (even Paisely!). If you want a good white, you should use Country Cream instead.

Bags are bags. People are people. Even if someone complains about my bags through a small mishap, I'll immediately fix it however I can. If I can't repair it, I'll stitch the person a new bag.

Humility isn't easy, but it works.

That's all I really have to say.
