Do you think you'll ever be in B.A.P?
Pretty straightforward question, do you think you will ever get your game to the point where you are inducted into BAP? I don't mean by this year, or by next, just in general. By the time you finish your footbag career, do you think you will be in B.A.P.?
Personally, I don't think I will be. The game just moves too quickly, and I don't think I will ever have the time to dedicate to getting that good. However, If the game hadn't exploded the way it had in the last 10 years, I think I could make it. As in, if people were still judged the way they were in say ... 1996, then I think I'll eventually to be that level. But as we all know, doing what could get you into BAP in 96 will probably never get you into BAP in 2004 and beyond.
So... what do you think?

I voted yes.
I don't suppose its all that realistic of me, but if I'd have put no, then thats pretty negative at this stage of my game.
I don't really see a limit to what I can do with a footbag at some time in the future. Eight months ago, I'd never even seen a footbag, so I had to teach myself to kick one, I never thought I'd ATW. Now I bail to butterfly. Thats quite a long way to come.
This is assuming of course that BAP stays around in something like its present form in a few years time.

Don't give up. It took me three years to prove my worth to BAP. Hang in there and keep pushing your level. Some of you won't find your shred game until you get to the harder moves like 5s and 6s. The standard level is rising so much faster than before, but all of new players seem to be doing quite well in that area.
It seems as if three years is when people really start to be considered excellent...i'm only on my 7th month, but i'm sure after enough practice, i could possibly be in bap...
I'm only 18, so i think i have a long time to get good

I don't see why people put so much importance on being in BAP. Sure its a really cool club, but will it ruin you're life if your never even considered for it? I'd hope not. I shred for myself and hope to someday be at a level that most would associate with BAP, but if I ever get there that alone (I'd like to think...) would be enough for me. The knowledge that I good, not that others think I'm good.
Oh, well I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite because if they offered I'd accept...

It's just a topic, I'm not "putting some importance" on it, I'm merely asking what people think about their own games. No need to analyze the thread for anything more than what it is.
No I will never be in bap, but as long as I get to the stage where I am happy with my shredding and my style it doesnt really matter what clique I am in. The best footbagger in the world is the one having the most fun. (I also need to work on having more fun :p)

I think that if I continue to practice as much as I do, I'll be at the BAP level either by July this year, or definitly at the next worlds I attend (prob 2006). However, the only way I'll get into bap is if I'm the first Australian to get inducted. If there are any other Australians that get inducted then I'll decline.
thats my feelings exactly, though i voted no. i KNOW there are no limits to what i can personally do. i KNOW i could hit nemesis in a month if i REALLY wanted to that badly. and i know i will be at a level some day that amazes me. i know these things. but bap is kind of a different story.rodimius wrote:I voted yes.

I think that since BAP has such a big reputation, it really should have at least one member from the southern hemisphere.
However, I really don't like the concept of BAP and have no ambitions to be a member. I know it did amazing things for the sport ten years ago, but we aren't living ten years ago anymore. You can read my opinions on it in the now locked thread about the topic, and at the similar thread at flipsider.
I no longer want to try to convert people - I have no problem with people that like bap or want to be a member, I just personally don't.
