I only have one pair of good shred socks, and I haven't washed them since 1999.

Yeah, the point is that you use one pair at a time until you just can't wear them anymore.
The dirt is the magic.
Or maybe just the reason why only few girls/women play footbag. :(

I've got three pairs of shred shorts, only one pair at a time.
The first pair I bought just for shredding are too small for me because I still grew after I bought them.
The second ones I bought were too baggy, I didn't like them and wore them only when I had to wash the other ones. I wear this pair in other sports.
Now I've got my third pair going, not as tight as the first ones but not as baggy as the...uhm, baggy ones.
Ideal! :D

I own 3 pairs of shred-shorts, but so-far I've only used 2 of them... those 2 are both identical (I bought them at the same time) and they are no good. Too long, too fashionable... I bought them in ignorance. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to use my new ones, wich are acctually short enough to stay out of the way. They're super-slick on the outside, and I normally wear my shorts under my long pants when I go to school. My pants wont stay up on top of those damn shorts, so I've had to stick to my old longer-shorts. I'll make a point of using my new shorts this sunday, when I'm off work.

Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever tried shredding in a spedo? Somebody did mention shred in a bathing suit... I guess after short-shorts it gets exessive and there's no point in having anything smaller, eh?

I have 3pairs and the one I am usually playing with is an indiana pacers basketball short.
The other 2 are for summer-time at the lake :lol: !

We will see, when time passes by, maybe the number of my shorts will increase?!

I think Tom Mosher has been known to shred in speedos/briefs all the time. :roll:

I have 3, maybe 4 pairs. You need enough so you only have to do laundry ever week or 2.

My favorate pair ,I found at a thrift store(in Arizona). They have a Boston Police logo on the front. i think they were from the academy or something, but they were good cuz they weren't to long, and have two front pockets.

If you live near Boston, try to get some.

I bought 12 shorts for kicking, 4 of them I barely use anymore cuz they're too short. My shorts usualy are blue, navy blue, red or black.

Today I went out to buy new shred shorts. I tried a pair made of that new Under Armor stuff... the shorts were either way too small or way too baggy, but that material would be SIICK for shred shorts if the shorts were designed properly!!

...*sigh* one of the many, many, many things that would be great if footbag was more popular.

6, but I probably won't get anymore. I've been searching for adidas tshirts though. Like white with a navy blue adidas sign on it or somethin.
