i've had the top bag for ages (sorry for not posting it sooner erik :roll:) ... it's a 92-panel 'savage bag' and i haven't used it much because i own a squillion bags and am keeping this one semi-new for my collection. i played a few sessions with it and gave it a bath months back after i received it ... a little rolly at first, but it became very nice after those first few sessions. i really love a bag that stalls when needed, but also keeps it's shape, is predictable in the air, and keeps some degree of 'pop' ... this bag does all three :wink:.

bottom bag was received just recently ... the folks here will probs recognise it instantly as a 'wasabi rainbow spinner' ... WOW 8O :D. waylon knows how much i love this bag ... aesthetically, we both have a thing for rainbow colours (and spirals possibly). i usually like my bags a bit fuller (my game is very old skool ... unusual surface stuff mixed with lots of kicks, spins, flyers, yada yada), but i sooooo LOVE this bag ... love the filler and weight ... and the way way stitches gives a very spacious bag the illusion of fullness. this is my favourite bag EVER ... but i'm still young right? :D :roll:

From your 12-panel, of course.

But even before that, from Johnny Suderman when you posted that rainbow 32 he made for you a loooong time ago. It's just using different colors and making it look more like a traditional 32, imo. :wink:

Lotus, that is a super cool picture. You can always refill the bag for a more fuller feel, and if you have a scale, adjust it to the weight you want it. It's no problem with me.

Taste the rainbow.

Just got it in today. :lol: It will take a few years of kicking and a couple of months of a hand messages and it will be ready to play. I think it was stitched by a kid chained to a wall in Taiwan.

yeah, the two i posted sure are sweet bags andrew ... i love 'em!!
i also have an alejandro bag on the way, so it was interesting to read your post ... mine was apparently posted at the end of september, but it still has not reached me :(. i know colombia is a little behind the 8-ball in postal efficiency, but i'm starting to get a little worried by now!! another aussie player, nathan cope, ordered one almost two weeks before me, and he hasn't received his either. well at least the money got through to help jorden get to the colombia tourney :roll:.

PS ... waylon, thanks for permission to add filler :lol: ... but i wanna keep that one as is, and personalise/shred my new one/s ... you know!!? :wink:

I LOVE THIS BAG!!!!! It is soft enough to play with as soon as you get it. Even with the spikes it is super soft. But, I will not probaly play with this one because it is a little lite for me. I HATE when I get shorted on my sacks.... Well I think it was my bad....I am not sure if I told him (brian dennis) I wanted 50g's. But that does not take anything away from this bag.... It is the best one I own. But I am a pot head....

My new elementalfootbags:

[img][img]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc13 ... NY0771.jpg[/img][/img]

left: rainbow HARDLINE
right: purple cross DOUBLECROSS

they're both very soft and stallable
I often use the DOUBLECROSS for learning new tricks,
but the HARDLINE is just too pretty and special for making it dirty :D

alf, thanks for posting that first pic of your elemental collection ... it really is a great photo and i'm glad you love 'em so much :D :D 8).

i had a feeling you'd like the 'rainbow HARDLINE' waylon ... it looks a bit egg-shaped when it's new, but it does even out when it's worked in. that particular bag is very light at around 35-38 grams too ... so it doesn't mind being kicked into shape :wink:.
sorry that the 'funk FREESTYLER' is only available at 40 grams and my bags have no bleed holes. when the present batch sells out, i plan to make some changes to the fill weights of my freestyle range of bags as follows ... mini 10-panel DOUBLECROSS & 24-panel HARDLINE (will both become 45 grams), mini 32-panel FREESTYLER (will all be 50 grams), and mini 62-panel FLIGHT (will drop down a little to 60 grams).

aah yes, you've got some more elemental's coming your way way ... you know what you've gotta do (the sound of a whip cracking in the distant australian outback) ... says the guy who doesn't actually stitch his bags :roll:.

Au contraire, Lotus. The Freestyler 32 does have bleedholes, it's just that they're much harder to spot and open up. :P

Save your whipcracking as well. I'm used to the abuse. Ask... everyone who is expecting orders from me. :oops: :roll:
