(Manitoba) Where can i buy a decent bag?

Post by dr.bs »

hi, I am a beginner footbag player in search of a decent footbag. Right now i am stuck with the trashy dollar store hackys and iv been through at least six of them. Im into stalls and circle kicking (which isnt fun with a cheap rubbery hacky sack) so when i play with my friends little lead shot footbag, i really enjoy myself.

I cannot purchase one off the internet unfortunatly, so i am looking for someone in the area that makes/sells a decent footbag because retail stores charge an arm and a leg for a good one (pretty much, The Forks downtown is the only place).
I dont really have a lot of cash so i can only spend $10-15.

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

any help is apreciated
thanks

There are no retail stores that sell decent footbags. If you want something decent, your only option is to find a footbagger who makes footbags and work out an arrangement the results in you paying them somehow. There are some guys who kick in Winnipeg (don't know if they stitch, but these days everybody does), so I'd try to hook up with those guys. Erik Chan, Andrew Grant etc. Have a look for IFPA members in Winnipeg on www.footbag.org.

Don't miss out on the first of the fifty panel design. The first one is going for real cheap, but after that, people might have to beg me to make one.

I have nothing against Andre, but do not buy a 50-panel bag [as a beginner].

get a 4 panel sand man at the forks or call me and i will give you a free 4 panel beginner bag. i will give it to you only if your serious about freestyling and if you come to shred with us once and awhile.
