1. Are you Male or Female? Male
2. How old are you? 35
3. What country are you from? United States of America
4. How much do you weigh? 169 lbs
5. How tall are you? 5' 8.5"
6. What is your race? Atheistic Jewish American of Eastern European Ancestry.
7. What kind of shoes do you play in? Adidas Rod Lavers. I think I'm on, like, my 15th pair. Its kind of cool that I've gotten nearly every pair directly from the WFA, so, I could just call them up and ask "how many have I ordered from you so far" and, thus, I'd have a nearly exact count of every pair I'd ever used. I think I only ever got my very first pair in a FootLocker, and every pair there-after was direct from the WFA. I think they have a special where your 20th pair is free...
8. How often do you play? 2-3/month. I'd like to play 4 times per week or more, but life will not allow this lately.
9. How many tournaments a year do you attend? 5
10. How long have you been playing? 15 years shredding, and perhaps 5 hacking before that. I used to "not count" those hackin' years, but from my current perspective they seem almost as significant as the years after I found freestyle.
11. Do you play regularly with others? yes, if you can call once or twice a month "regularly"
11.a. If yes, how many on average? 5 others .
11.b. How often do you play with others? 50% of sessions. I'd prefer to play about 3 times solo to every 1 time with company, but, again, beggars can't be choosers.
12. How many footbags do you own? almost too many to count. Not really, but, perhaps 15 that I'd shred with, or intend to, and several dozen that I sometimes carry around to sell or give away. And then there are at least a dozen more that are, like, souveniers or keepsakes.
13. Are you guiltless? Yes - its part of my footbag upbringing -- Guiltless was not questioned as an appropriate goal in my formative years -- it was simply what you were supposed to be if you were truly serious about footbag, and I've never completely outgrown that indoctrination. But many of my favorite moves are 2's (and there's a couple of 1's I also really like) and, then, some other favorites of mine have never really received any sort of official concensus on their ADD-value. Even so, I have a definite bias towards moves that could be argued to be 3-ADDs and up, or, rather, a bias against many moves that could not somehow be considered 3-ADD and up.
14. Is your native language English? yes
15. Do you have interest in playing net? What's net?
Seriously, now, yes, but, barely. Perhaps about once every other year is enough to get my fix.

Why not use one of the online tools and get people to post it on facebook to get everybody to fill it. I think that will get a more serious result.
Short answer: I'm not that savvy, and it seems like more effort than I'd like to invest. Also, I'm not sure we'd get too much more of an accurate/different result from polling facebook than we would modified, but who knows. Anyway, if anybody wants to do a more formal version of this on facebook, feel free (though I'd be interested in consulting).
If this were on Facebook I would certainly ignore it completely. I don't really care to debate why Facebook is more representative of footbag than Modified, but, although I'm on Facebook, I just really loathe actually using it.
See ya at Funtastiks.
. I think that resorting to facebook is a good idea. I am totally in for that survey. I like statistics
