    "A game of failure," what a great description! Pick yourself up and try again. I'm 61 and thinking hacky sack is a good way to help maintain my balance and remember where my feet are as I age. Thanks for the tutorial, I'm gonna start my session tomorrow with the knee hits!

    Man we played this in high school. It was very fun. Cheapest form of entertainment ever. After lunch while still on break, we'd go out to a piece of concrete and start eliminating the competition in the circle.

      does not matter. you play with flat shoes. don't need to practice barefooted. no one competes barefooted. you need a consistent surface when you start which means the same shoes

    • @smoovmoves
      @smoovmoves  Рік тому

      It's my pleasure! Glad you found it valuable. I mostly stick to two bags, one is 60G filled with sand and the other is 70G filled with a combination of sand a plastic bead. Id say those weights are good to start with but there is a good deal of personal preference as well. I've got the 60G and 70G available for sale in the description of the video if those weights sound good to you! Thanks for the great question.

    isn't footbag a solo sport but if you add more people then its hackysack right so what is better to use if your doing it solo a hacky sack or footbag

    • @smoovmoves
      @smoovmoves  Рік тому

      Footbag / hacky sack = the same thing to me. I have the classic crochet "hacky sack" and the sandbag "footbags." I play with them both solo but prefer the sandbag.

      Footbags are called Hacky Sacks the same way "flying discs" are called Frisbees -- the innovating brand name became the generic term.
      Freestyle footbag is the solo sport, there's also footbag net (kind of like volleyball) and the classic circle kicking. Try different bags and use whatever feels the best.
