Nice man. Ripstein> food is excellent. I can't hit anything except for ducks out of my ripsteins yet :\ Cool that you kick with Rob, he's an awesome guy.
Flip whirling swirl is on my tricks to hit, as well. You should also try whirling reverse swirl (if you haven't already hit it). I footed it before, but no hit yet. Trick feels madd weird, but looks sweet.
On a side note, your bag will be in the mail tomorrow and just let me know how much the shipping is going to cost when you find out. I'm so stoked for you to shred it. This is definitely my best-feeling and best-looking bag to date

Nick and Zach,
'
Yeah ...I enjoy hanging with Rob. He is my only regular footbag friend that I have ever played with.
I have hit whirling revers swirl in one side....not an easy trick.
I also tried swirling spinning butterfly to food and mobius to food today but no hit hit. Nick ...I will send the shoes Monday latest.
I didnt play too well today, but I think that if I stick to the plan it will get better.
Looking forward to both bags guy....I also have 2 ammeretta coming in from Abshire.....I will post pics of ALL of the bags when I get them.
Also got new lavers in yesterday...wont chop them up yet though until I need to.
Also....If I dont have work (unlikely) I WILL GO to the jam.. ONE DAY I WILL GET TO GO TO A COMP AND A JAM

Played for about an hour today....
mostly 4 contact mirror drills in a small space in my hotel room in biloxi.
realized how much all of my flip issues (or at least alot of them) will be fixed and even out because of the drills
took me 5 minutes to get dimwalk>blur repeat x2 feeling comfortable. It was kind of a wake up call to do more of these shooting for higher accuracy and ease.
had a 41 contact guitless run with dyno>torque bs
mobius>rev swirl to start a run
swirling spinning butterfly>ripwalk x 3>swirling spinning butterfly
both were clean swirling spinning not gyro blazing like.
everything on tape.....will probably post after tomorows session.
Off to gig at 8

Session today
worked on
rev whirl>p rev whirl repeat
whirl >p whirl repeat
toe ducking butt>ducking p mirage repeat
reverse swirl> butt repeat
hit maeltstrom with rev whirls bsos
hit toe inspinning dyno
hit toe inspinning rev whirl
hit pixie clip>gyro guay>swirl ....it felt easy ....not like before
Also played with three different bags today 2 of Zach's and 1 from Nick P.
I usually play with an Abshire Pro Model 65 ...both facile and ammerreta.
Here is my review of Zach's and Nick's bag
Zach's bag ......custom 4 stitch. weight around 67 grams (I think)
----nice stitching, round bag, like the size (about the size of an Abshire medium) , the colors are mostly light blue, red and cream looks cool. Pents are bigger than hexes. It is stitched close to the ends of the panels so it is SUPER mushy. Filler is about half the bag.
Conclusion- There was obviously alot of care put into this bag. I love the weight and size of the bag, however this is what I call a floppy bag. It stalls VERY EASY, but because it is so floppy it does not keep a round shape in the air and makes sets difficult. I own other bags close to this. I pull out these bags at the end of a session when I want to have the easiest possible stalls and long runs. For me, there needs to be a balance between the two. If the bag wasnt stiched so close to the end, there would be more material inside the bag which would make it not as soft, but also help it keep its shape.
Nick's -- 3 stitch...also around 67 grams. Black pents, white and dark purple hexes. pents and hexes are close in size. Like the Colors. Stitches are pulled tighter than Zach's 4 stitch and the colors of the material are not as soft. It is still SUPER soft just thicker colors. Stalls super easy. Not as round as Zach's but still nice.
conclusion-- Also a floppy bag. It keeps it shape more than the other floppy bag because of the tight stitch and the material. Does stick to the sole though
Zach's 2 stitch that he said wasnt up to his standards
--- 2 stitch....weight around 72 grams. A bit on the heavy side, but not too heavy. reverse soccer ball colors. Size in between a mini and a medium. Filler about a little bit more than half the bag. Round bag
Conclusion .. BEST BAG OF THE THREE!!! I like it alot. Since the two stitch has more material inside the bag, it keeps its roundness in the air. It is easy to stall AND easy to set. This is a good balance of the two. The floppy bags dont really require YOU to stall it, but they are hard to set , whereas this is still nice to stall and easy to pop up to set. (Today I tried stepping ducking with all three and this bag was the only one of the three that doesnt make me use unnessasary energy to set). You should try to make 10 of this exact same bag.
GUYS>>>>thanks so much for all three footbags. I am happy to add the to my collection and to play with them.
Just a tip.....take em or leave em..
When training, try to use a bag that requires you to stall the bag with good form. It doesnt have to be a rolly bag, but somewhere in the middle. If I were to train in gunits and use a floppy bag, my form would go to shit. This might not happen to someone who already has good form and knows how to correctly hit certain tricks, but my experience tells me to play with a floppy bag towards the end of the session if you want to, but dont train with it. At the weight of both of your bags ( above 60, 65 grams) you are really stalling the weight not the bag, so even if the bag isnt that floppy it will probably still stall great. The floppy bags are perfect though for barefoot shred....and this is what they will be used for most....here I come barefoot guiltless.
Well......thanks again and I hope both of you understand that I tried to give a honest review and opinion of the bags

Nice new vid man. I like GYBAS> Stepping ss Dyno. And thanks so much for the bag review. Mine's a 3-stitch though Thanks for making me seem cooler than I am haha But I'm really glad you like it. I hope to get better with stitching in the future. I don't ever plan to sell bags like Zach, but it's always cool to be able to create your own usable footbag to give to someone
Review on your Nukes: F*@%ing Excellent. I really found my shoe now.
Again, pleasure trading with you, dude. Keep kickin Mark.

im glad you like the 2 stitch so much. that really encouraging to make some more an start to sell them ( not for 5 dollars ) the 4 stitch is indeed mushy an floppy, its a great warm up, tiltless bag. im really happy that you took the time to do a write up. you should help me out an make a comment on my stitching in my for sale thread.
thanks again mark.
