I dont know how. But it is very similar to the fourth bag down on his page: Savage Bags!!!!
Its green grape and jaguar print.
It feels so good to kick and its very small and stally.

You seem to get a new bag every other week by what ive read. Like Wasabi said, this is not a materialistic sport. If you already have a fearless, then get good with that. They are good bags too. I know its fun to get new bags, i get caught up in that too, but you have to remember what its really all about.

I'll illustrate my point:

Image

There's actually more where that came from. :?

This is the desk in my room. This is what I wake up to every morning, and the last thing I see before I go to sleep. The reason I have so many bags is because I'm a stitcher and I like how other people make their own bags. This is both a blessing and a curse: I respect the quality that other people put into their own bags and I like to have a physical representation of that, but at the same time I collect bags and most of them are left sitting on my desk. Big bummer.

Some of the bags I make as experiments are included in that shot as well. Some bags I've made in the past that are extremely shreddable I don't use anymore. I sometimes find this disappointing, but it's my responsibility whether bags I've made get played or not so it's really entirely up to me. However, if I was left to only play with my own bags, I would do that immediately.

The situation I am in now is to break-in all of the bags that I own completely, which is a long and bellowing task for me. That's why I don't want to stitch anymore and just play play play.

That's not to say I'm going to give up on my orders to all the people that I've promised. I'm eventually easing up toward stitching at the moment, and will cover all orders when I have time this summer. But playing footbag is most important; don't get stuck being a footbag collector because it's not as fun. :wink:

Just laying out a small precaution is all. I hope I didn't leave you off with a bad feeling. I am a stitcher after all, so I'm pretty critical about footbags in general.

I'd like to think like this: if you can hit 15-20 tiltless/guiltless contacts with a bag, it's a good bag, and it's a bag to stick too.

stitching your own bags rocks! :D

only after the are good enough to play however haha ut its definietely less time consuming to get good at stitching than footbag itself. very difficult and strenuous, but less so. so do it man!
