    I play sometimes with friends whenever they'll have one around. I'm really bad but at least we can keep it going for about 6 or more hits sometimes. XD

    I've seen pros do tricks on youtube, it's pretty insane. It's a fun thing to do that doesn't require too much energy.

    I've had a go at my juggling club and I'm reasonable at keeping it going (using the wrong technique though cos It try to keep it up the same as you would with a football). Seems pretty fun to do smile.gif, but pretty dull to practice.

    Peter Irish is pretty good at doing it! ohmy.gif

    I love this shit. This is all I do at work.
    We don't know the names of the moves, but we do them anyway.
    We go at it for about two hours straight.

    Does it become natural like penspinning? Like, can you hit it countless times without trying/blindfolded?

    It always seems like it would always be active, like I would have to have intense concentration. I suck at it, and I want to get better.

    To be honest, I've gotten dudes to do 3-hit chains in a few hours.
    All you need is about 3 - 4 guys and you should just go at it.
    You're gonna need to be active, it's all about moving your body.
    You should be fairly good at about 2 - 3 weeks.
    You don't need to be intensely concentrated, but you should watch for where the ball's going. wink.gif

    Damn straight. WTF? this is a hack.

    fill it up with BB's or nuts and bolts so its heavy. dont hit it with your hands or your friends will throw it at you for being a newb.

    Advanced hacky sacking doesn't look too good IMO. Due to the orientation of your foot, you always look like you're doing some sort of Irish jig while on drugs. =/
    Don't get me wrong, the pros are definitely pros. I just don't think it looks good overall.

    Oh yeah, it looks like you're jumping around strung out on crack.
    Normal-teenage hacky sacking looks best, IMO. biggrin.gif

    Here is a fun hacky-sack game I play with my friends before class, it's called "challenge circle":

    how it's played: all the players stand in a circle. One player passes it to the next, in no particular order. If you where the last one to touch the hacky sack last, you gain a point. While you are kicking the hacky sack, if you can hit someone else in the chest with the hacky sack on the upper chest, you have challenged that person. That person then has to hit the hacky sack 5 times before passing it on. if they drop the hacky sack, they gain a point And you loose a point. When someone gets to 5 points, or when the game is over because of time constraints, the person with the lowest number of points wins.

    HAVE FUN tongue.gif
