Stuff has actually happened since my last post. Another 1.5 hour session in the Secret Hideout last week. Had a great time. Now, I've just got done with an interview with a J-School student again tonight. And, it was nice enough to play footbag on Speakers Circle again! Yay!
The bad news? The Power Hacker guy showed up near the end of my session, and blew out a seam on Prissy. Darn! Lost a lot of guts, too. Repair is a MUST.
Playing well, no reports of aches or pains, feeling good after 2 hours today. A little blustery today though; it's the rarest of rare "shirted" footbag sessions, promoting the Lupus Chili Fest!
1:30/2:00/13:00 - Thanks for tuning in!
What shoes are you wearing?

Nike Air Max, the 'high stability' design. I've kicked in that general design of shoe for most of my footbag career. I may be the only freestyler that uses shoes like that. I've tried using Lavers and the like, but never could get used to them. So, weird shoes for me!

I play in Adidas Climacool running shoes, so mine aren't exactly "mainstream" hacky wear either. That's why I wondered.
Do you attribute that at all to the longevity of your footbag career? That is playing in a shoe with support.

I attribute the length of my footbag career so far to the fact that I LOVE to play footbag! I'm a very heavy-footed person, and pound the ground pretty hard when I play footbag. That's one reason I've always kicked in air cushion or similar shoes. But, after so many years, I don't think it makes a huge difference; I think my overall health, and body's ability to recover and repair itself, is 99% of the magic.
