Has there ever been a barefoot shred comp, as a little fun event at any competitions?

Yeah that'd be cool. Has anyone considered that as another division in competetion. Like...you have your BIG 3, Shred30, Open Shred, Team Freestyle, (and other competetions such as Iron man, Super Man, etc.) what if they added like...barefoot competetion. HA! that could call the competetion...Stinky Feet...or Sweat Feet, Sweaty Feet, Naked Feet footbag freestyle competetion (...wow...I come up with alot of dumb things ^_^' )

I feel so much faster with out shoes on, and I can just pick up a bag and play with it whenever I want. I have hit DATW without shoes on but not with shoes on, because I can go so much faster without them.

I'm surprised that he didn't post this, but at Funtastiks Matt Cross hit drifter ending in sole both sides (barefoot). Matt, if you are reading this you must try torque ending on sole! I was gonna tell you to do it at Funtastiks but I forgot :?

barefoot is the best. ive hit fear barefoot but i cant hit it with shoes. barfoot is how i learned fairy and when i first started atws. it gets the motion in your head. plus when you watching tv in your room, its really fun just to just hit a bucnh of pixi tricks.

I've hit Entrée as well Erik, but again only in barefeet. I came really really really close to terraging dlo a long time ago, but I haven't tried for awhile.

I hit Enterrage > Pixie Double-Switch barefoot in the UQAM lobby at worlds, as well as pixie ss double switch, pixie ss double pickup and pixie double pickup.

And I was trying pixie legeater with Jonathan Schneider too, barefoot. I couldn't land it though. I generally stay away from clippers when barefoot, I can only think of hitting pixie ss blender one time.

Barefoot rocks. :)

It hurts like a bitch to play baerfeet on cement - or even asphalt or concrete. But I think it's good training to remember to stay on your toes!

I'm forced to play only barefoot til my shoes arrive. It's okay, but I'm desperate to be able to do clipper tricks again.
It's getting too cold to shred outside here in Finland, so barefoot is a natural and easy way to keep on practicing during the winter. (Of course there are sport halls here but when playing at home and you're not having a good big warm garage or basement playing barefeet is the only option)
