Man wearing shorts are supreme.
You get to feel the breeze in the air. And if it's wet outside, why would you strain yourself with wet jeans, aren't they just heavier with all the water? You're just making it harder on yourself.

Learn to like who you are, mang. But in the mean time, just humor us and tell us you'll wear shorts.

megadeth is cool btw.

I believe I stated earlier I'll be getting some shorts.


And wet jeans would be better than playing in the shivering cold.

And yes, Megadeth rocks. Thanks.

That's what I plan. But I shred in public too. I will start wearing shorts to school if my friends start passing me up.

If you boost the amount of cholesterol in your blood stream then it should keep you a little warmer to compensate. I know that Scandinavians tend to have higher amounts of cholesterol for the cold weather. :roll:

well if you dont like your legs, then just play footbag in shorts anyway! :P

Footbag is a great form of cardio, and it will get your legs noticeably bigger when you start getting into freestyle. I guarantee you will at least notice a difference in the size of your calves. If you dont like the way that your legs look, footbag is a great way to make them look better so you dont have to be so self conscious....Just something to consider :lol:

Get the fuck over yourself

You don't like your legs? You sound like a 12 yr old girl :roll:

I wear shorts under my pants every fucking day. I wasn't even tiltless and I would take my pants and shirt off and play in shorts in the fall. And I don't have a great bod ;-) But I represent. Don't be all self conscious-girls don't respect that. Be fucking confident and you'll be alright.

You worry about your legs? Have you seen Nathan Pipenberg?

It's not what your legs look like, it's what you can do with them.

For real... but if its the weather thats bothering you just rock some legwarmers, but make sure to get some that are the right size or all the foot-banging-on-ground that footbag involves will make them fall down. It'd look awesome. :)

Haha I love how this has turned into the pants debate thread.

I wear shorts under my pants as well. I bring my lavers in my school bag. I can hear him now "My bag isn't big enough and I'm worried about my shoulders." Bear it. I hated my upper body FOREVER, and was hard-pressed to even swim without a shirt. Then footbag came along, and I found out "who gives a shit."

If it's cold and wet, play inside. If it's cold and you want to play outside, wear long johns under your shorts. THAT looks stupid, but I've done it anyway, at least they're tight and keep your windows open.

In sum: A good proportion of footbag is dexes, and in order to progress without retardation and frustration it is essential to give yourself every advantage. Summer's coming, and a tan will help your legs. Wear shorts under your pants, strip to them when you can, and shred hard!

P.S. I'm sorry we all come of so adamant about this, but you asked for advice. It's up to you to follow it. But you asked what a mirage looks like. It looks like it's done with shorts on.

I didn't mod my lavers for a year. When you're just starting out, I don't find it makes much of a difference at all.

...and just to pipe in with what everyone else said, the switch from pants to shorts is probably twice as important as the switch from whatever shoes to Lavers. At least it's possible to do dexes in other types of shoes.
