Sport: Footbag (Hackey Sack)

By Daniel Miessler on January 11th, 2006: Tagged as General | Sport | Table Tennis

I am sort of a non-standard type of guy: I don’t like American Football, Basketball, or Baseball. My favorite participation sport is Table Tennis — a sport that’s quite unpopular in the U.S. (since it’s not done properly).

Well there’s another sport that’s a lot like Table Tennis in that it has a loyal following and is often confused with a lesser activity — Footbag. I actually had a guy show up on the blog and post about the sport, and then like a week later I ran into someone (at a Table Tennis tournament no less) who played as well.

Check out this video of it being done properly:

Yeah, this sport is for real. They have tournaments and the whole bit. It’s pretty hardcore if you ask me.

    No shit!!!

    And its even more hard core if you try playing, or even popularising, footbag in Serbia.

    Just kidding. It aint that h.c. if you look on it from a "brite side of the world". But then again, the sport it self, as shown in the video, deffers pretty much from extreme sports, yet alone hugely popular sports. etc football, basketball.

    What am I doing here writhing this, you ask? Well, yust surfing the net wondering are there any blogs (a newly diskovered beautiful world for me) on the subject of footbag. This is the first Ive found, so Ill just bookmark it and come back in a few days to check it out.

    Zdravo (Seeya on Serbian)
