Can I Kick It? | Ep. 2: Your First Footbag

[@CeilingF4n]

I'm pretty sure Ivan put more work into analyzing the Stally, than the makers of the Stally put into the production of the bag itself.

[@PassBack]

I think so too

[@HeartInLight]

My first bag was a dirtbag, wore that thing out. Was a great bag for circle kicking.

[@holdenjones4975]

Love my dirt bag

[@FoundInDetroit]

Love the fact that there’s a hackey sack podcast. My best friend that I work with and I started hacking on lunch a month ago now we got all our friends on it

[@FoundInDetroit]

Ps great name for the podcast

[@adam_collinsteele2913]

I have been playing Footbag for 20 years, So obviously I play regularly and seriously. And one of the best entry level Footbag I found I got at Zumies for 13 bucks and change. I can’t read the name on it cause I have kicked the hell out of time for some time now. But it’s black 8 panel and it say in big white print, “for kicking”. Lol

[@rm6058]

My buddy Logan here made me a custom faux suede bag with tungsten beads. Soo nice! I introduced him to the channel 😎

[@crazygrant418]

My favorite intro sand bag for learning stalls was the Jaq Saq, but I don't think they sell them anymore. I hit a bunch of new tricks with those!

[@oooookkkkkk]

Dirtbag 8 panel is my go to right now. Stally was definitely a waste of money for me I soon realised, though a small waste lol. I also like the jester

[@PassBack]

It's very kind that it's only $5

[@HackysackTrav]

great job guys!

[@ianrjm969]

What an excellent in depth analysis.

[@coachyourkid2449]

Love this review!!

[@PassBack]

Thank you :)

[@SubZeRoy9]

I'm just getting back into fooling around with a footbag. Have one I bought from zumies like 8 years ago. Idk what kind it is all I know is it says Umbro on it. That sucker has lasted extremely well, granted I spent years not touching it. Idk about the playability because I can't compare it to anything else but I like it. Can tell it was made more for stalling when I squish it it goes decently flat. Part of me wants to get a super good one just to see what a pro footbag feels like. I can barely kick the thing tho.

[@Art-jl6pt]

Thx- ordered bomb heat mini 32. Promo code was sweet - only one color in stock-

[@abdxgamer69]

I relly recommend the bomb footbags heat mini pro i have one and it is awesome I recommend anybody that likes a small metal filled footbag to buy it.

[@Novakiller]

Great title! Can I kick it by tribe called quest is one of my favorites to kick to…😈🤘

[@PassBack]

My friend and I used to play almost exclusively to Midnight Marauders ♥️

[@Novakiller]

@@PassBack yes me too!🤯 All dj premier beats work for me! Like gangstar or Jeru… Can’t flow at all as good to any other tunes!! You should like my playlist for kickin… ironically canI kick it is the second song!😏 kzbin.info/aero/PLhip49d2FtOEHxqicDE9VC5dmb4cc_8-1

[@tylernol1566]

Awesome!

[@waragainstmyself1159]

Thank you. Buying some to play with my kids. This will get them out of the house and playing outside

[@PassBack]

Great! Footbag is really strenuous but also fun & interesting exercise. Hope you guys have fun, and feel free to message me if you guys need advice!

[@pikachuketchum9395]

My first sack was a stally..we used the crap out of it every day for around 4 months in school

[@rafaellewis1263]

I really like my Phat Tire. Stalls easier than my mini pro, but the mini needs more break in time.

[@blindcamel6236]

yes release the video of how you conducted the tests please

[@PassBack]

It's coming whenever Ivan can get to it!

[@remcore_]

I would love to see this too!

[@pedrobolero5242]

Haha super entertaining and informative

[@DG69GOD]

I really want to buy a dragonfly footbag but their website says 0 in stock and they’re unable to make or ship any more 😢 I’ve never tried one and was really looking forward to it

[@theancientsam]

This guy's beard keeps changing lengths lol

[@theancientsam]

Oh wait that's a different fellow 😂

[@PassBack]

My beard also grows super unevenly so it probably looks like it's changing lengths shot to shot

[@mikedee936]

I just bought my Stally bag yesterday should of watched this review before 😂

[@PassBack]

At least it's cheap!

[@mikedee936]

@@PassBack that's true

[@mikedee936]

What's the difference with the Dirtbag Classic vs Sandmaster Footbag in the 3 pack?

[@logicmyth]

Stally to Staley connnnnnnect!

[@robertanderson8563]

So, if a person wasn't interested in a beginner footbag, but a kick ass top of the line bag, what would be the recommendation?

[@PassBack]

You'll want to get a bag from a footbag stitcher! You can check out ep.4 of this series for info on that :)

[@robertanderson8563]

Bless you!

[@Thedrewshow559]

Foot bagging should be an Olympic sport.

[@PassBack]

In terms of athleticism and skill, I think it would fit right in! But footbag needs to get waaaay more popular to meet the Olympic requirements for a new sport.

[@themixmusicandmore6280]

Can I use a footbag for mostly kicking?

[@PassBack]

Of course! At a certain level of quality it would be overkill for just kicking, but any good bag should work just fine for that.

[@zach4thlife]

Can you kick it? Yes you can!

[@intriguinglyenigmatic1743]

My same thought

[@ianrjm969]

3:17 🤣🤣🤣

[@bag6609]

My first footbag was a sock ties over itself full of rice

[@PassBack]

That'll definitely work in a pinch! Too light to really control for tricks, but decent-enough for kicks.

[@elrey2467]

Cual seria el mas facil de crear y usar ? que relleno deberia llevar sin que cueste tanto dineral hacerlo ?

[@zacharyswain7034]

What about Chinese rocket looking hackys? What do you guys think of these? Can they be used with one person or need multiple people?

[@PassBack]

Are you talking about jianzi/shuttlecock? It's actually pretty similar to freestyle footbag, and there are a number of Chinese players who do both. I think you can treat it the same as a footbag and play solo or with a circle.

[@zacharyswain7034]

@@PassBack ah yes thats what i was referring to. thanks

[@gaminglovescompany3074]

*YES YOU CAN* Tcq reference

[@abbash1635]

I realy like the game but it's realy very hard i can't kick it more than twice almost 90 persent it falls I tried training one time but I never tried training again I felt frustrated. I wish I could play it 😢

[@luislopez4260]

So, i got a question. Is sand or metal filling better?

[@PassBack]

It's mostly a preference thing, but it tends to skew: beginner player -> sand experienced player -> metal 99% of experienced players use metal bags, but if you toss them a sand bag they'd be able to play with it just fine. Sand bags are typically less expensive, and they tend to be more readily-playable (requiring less break-in time), but don't last as long. They're also lighter and less dense, but when you're less experienced, you don't usually care too much about that level of detail. Metal bags are usually more expensive, require more break-in time, but have better longevity, and people mostly prefer the heavier weight (better feeling of "sticking" to your foot, and better feedback when it hits your body).

[@Rich10000]

I can't find a good places to buy a footbag from on the internet for the UK with reasonable shipping. Any suggestions would be great thanks.

[@PassBack]

Good question! I know Hania (mentioned in Ep. 1 and 4) will ship anywhere, and I think the shipping would be reasonable. For a standard shop, I found a couple listings on Amazon UK: "Yoyo Factory" and "Flames n' Games." Haven't tried them myself, so I can't vouch for the quality, but they look comparable to the bags in this video, and you can get either for ~€10.

[@chrishince8947]

Can I kick it? Yes I can!

[@readysetmoses]

No Hania?

[@PassBack]

I talk about Hania and other stitchers in ep.4 of this series :) This video is strictly about low-cost bags that can be easily bought to try out the sport.
