The basics of the sport are easy to learn and can self taught. the advanced stuff is hard to be self taught and its much easier to play w/ the pros. i got an oppertunity to play with several world chapions of the summer. unfortonaly i know of only one other serios christian player

footbag.org is good, flipsider.com is a good reference site, freedomfootbags.com great site to get bags... i know the owner and his wife, great people. for reference... hackysack is a brand name not the sport. "hacky sacks" are made by "wham-o" inc. which has turned on the sport of footbag

Thanks, and it's just that I prefer to call them hacks, it sounds cooler, or something like that...

HACKYSACK, yeah mate thats a sport and its good fun to play with your mates isn't it.
I hav't played for ages and pefer to play hackysack rather than footbag (ie with the group rather than tricks by yourself.. thats the distinction right?)
Im not good at all but I very much do appriciate having a game going during lunch or something. We used to have a group of 5 guys, some pretty good, and me, and used to have such a ball playing it, getting hackies (once around the circle where everyone touches it) and when it hit the shrine you got beats. (the jumper in the middle of the circle). We even had a round of weakest link hacky, that was classic.

Oh, we don't really know anything about brand-names for 'footbag'. I guess its kinda like Americans calling Thongs; 'flip-flops' which IS a brand name. Thongs are their orignial name like footbag for Hacktsack I guess.

I would consider it a sport, you do physical activity and there are strategies to it . . .
Sounds fun, never tried it though due to lack of coordination in footwork, lol.
