When you are never without a footbag...

When you see some kids "Hacky Sacking" and you just have to show them a few moves.

... if paying $30 for a freestyle bag is not a big deal but all your hacker friends are freaking out.

... if your Lavers are the ONLY pair of shoes you wear because you always want to be ready to play.

... if you "air shred" in public.

... if you stare at peoples shoes judging them to be worthy for footbag or if you're just scanning for Lavers.

... if you buy clothes thinking about whether you can kick in them or not. Or if they would still be comfortable with your freestyle gear under them.

... if you're walking/driving around the city and you see an open area with lots of people and you think to yourself, "That would be a great place to shred".

... if you play with people much younger or much older, more talented or less talented, just cuz you love to play.

... if you e-mail or call some one you've never met to ask them if they want to have a shred session.

... if some one you've never met e-mails or calls you to have shred session and you don't even hesitate to say yes.

... if you wear footbag shirts 6 out of 7 days of the week. One day is laundry day.

... if you wear your footbag shirt (after you've shred in it) for another couple days and don't give a damn. It's your favorite shirt!

... if commuting for hours to a shred session is routine.

... if you're the last person in your footbag club and you still show up to sessions just to play alone.

... if you have multiple pairs of lavers to "experiment" on.

... if the only thing left of your lavers is the sole and you've practically had to tape them on your feet to play.

... if choosing between new shoes or a new footbag is your greatest dilema.

... if you start to think that the white lavers look better dirty and used than they do brand new.

... if you've woken up in the middle of the night doing freestyle moves in your sleep.

... if you shreik every time a hacker does a toe pick-up with your freestyle bag.

... if you've got multiple colored lavers to color coordinate with your shorts.

... if you name your son Blade.

If your vacation destinations are influenced by whether or not there are shredders there.

I not only always waer my shred lavers, but also wear short pants during our sub-zero german winters.
I hate long pants, short pants are comfortable and allow me to shred anywhere, at any time.

you wear your short shorts in public on a regular basis and don't even think about it anymore

when bored in class you draw stickmen doing footbag moves
when bored in class you write down strings instead of doodlin
when bored in class you write down the jobs notations of moves just so you know that you know it.

i do those last three constantly. the life of a college student

you know you're addicted to footbat when...

...you hear an awesome beat and you think what strings you could put to that
...when you see a group of hacky sackers and you just wanna show 'em up :P
...when a hacky sacker does a "flying jester" and you're like, "No, that's called a flying clipper"

...when you choose going to a competition/event over keeping your job!
...when the majority of your hard drive contains shred footage and downloaded videos.

When you look back and realized that you have been kicking for over a year.

When you look back and realize that all you have done for over a whole year is kick.
Its all or nothing

... if your knowledge of geography is limited to the cities and countries where footbaggers live.
