:!: HOLY HELL THAT IS SICK :!:

Thaty's exactly what I'm looking for! Just a few of questions...

1) How samll is it?
2) Is that your first one?
3) How heavy is it?

And that is exactly the color pattern I was looking for too, the black stars and the other panels red. A+

Contact him to see if you can get the template, and then play around with it. :P

Yes, he does have the pattern, but it's HUGE! BTW thanks for giving your consent for us to use those patterns, or something like them, to make bags with.

*cough* like with abshire footbags *cough*

Anyway, it was very nice of oyu to do that, you could have been a complete dick about it and said "I HAVE THE COPYRIGHT TO THE STARBAG!!! No one else can make them becuase I am l33t and pwn the rights to it!!11!111", but you didn't, so thank you!

BTW, if anyone is wondering why I don't go off on my own and try to make my own starbag, it's because... I can't stitch! It's a horrible secret that I've tried to conceal for so long (not really), and I wish I could stitch my owns bags (not really, cuz it'd put GOOD stitchers out of work if everyone could make thier own bags, and I'd rather a few people actually be able to make a living off of footbag, even if I can't). But anyway, that's why I posted this in the first place, so that I could get a por bag made that is actually shred-able, and to have it be a starbag. Which is an unusual request, but I think it might get more mainstream if it works out right.

That is certainly a very cool design. I would love to get one in the future, if even just for novelty value. Has anyone shredded with a bag of this design? If so, how does it play?

Just got some pics from Lesh in my PM box, and if I knew how to post them I would...

Outside of that, as soon as I get the bag, I'll post a review. And DAMN does that bag look sweet. I'm very impressed with the outcome thus far.

I'm also still looking for the second stitcher to pm me back.

:edit:

YAY! it works! Thank you :D

Just got the bag today! Only one expression can accuratly portray my first thought of the bag...







8O OMG!

- First Impression -
(scale of 1 - 10, where 1 is horrible, and 10 is perfect)

Stitching - 9
Material - 10
Pattern - 10
Filler - 9.5
Break In - 10

As soon as the bag got here it was amazing! The stitching, especially considering that this was lesh's first starbag, was very consistant and round. After about two days of massaging it, kicking it a little, and some VERY light freestyle, it's almost fully broken in.I'm guessing this is due to the material and the way it's stitched, in conjuntcion with the pattern, but I love this bag. I'll post the rest of my review after I've had it for a little and can have a few sessions with it, just to test the durability. Also the stitching at first was amazing, and now it's even better, the bag is almost compleatly spherical (Sp? or is that even a word...)

=BUMP=

This bag is sweet! I finally broke it in all the way, and it's really nice. I think that the size of the bag made the bag a little harder to stall, b/c of the patternt and how the panels move when it's that size. I'd like to buy another one, and encourage anyone who wants a bag that looks cool and plays even better!
