Footbags from a different world: Jax

in #footbag • 5 years ago

After a great weekend, Needlework Monday is here again and if you ever played ball and jax as a kid, these footbags combine the jax and ball into one! Each bag is composed of six protruding discs or cylinders forming a three-dimensional cross.

The Jax performs well freestyle or as a kicking bag. Back when I started footbag in '83, it was about kicking the bag. Stalling the bag was just one of the challenges but today most freestyle is primarily stalling the bag between tricks. The sport has evolved enormously, but these bags work well for early or late kicking styles. Here's @geke holding the longer, cylinder-style Jax.


Thanks for reading! All bags above are original designs
and sewn exclusively by Hane Dane Craft.

    I am at a loss if I have to use a ball 🤪😂 But I admire your sewing skills with this three dimensional object. 🌈💕

    Yes, I'm aware of PAL. My girlfriend was involved with PAL when she was new to Steemit and she encountered lots of drama there, which is typical of large groups like that. We both try to avoid that sort of thing. As far as tokens go, I'm more interested in weedcash right now. Less drama with weed smokers, right? ha ha

      Right :)

      I was thinking about the new front end - https://www.palnet.io. I haven't found any drama yet. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places :)
