My experience at the Footbag World Championships in Medellin Hace poco, concretamente en el mes de julio tuve una de las experiencias más gratificantes de mi vida, logré participar en mi primer torneo

This footbag was made many years ago by an old friend, David Leberknight; I used to kick with him and some other guys a lot in Denver's Washington Park. Good old days. This is another rare design that

The Sunburst is an incredibly unique design: it's made up of 44 panels, sporting four different shapes and two six-pointed stars! Those four shapes are the following: 8 hexagons, 12 pentagons, 12 triangles,

Check out this ancient footbag! It was made in the 1980s by an old friend who went by "Bud" and you can see his signature on one of the panels. While this is probably the worst design and stitchwork

I made this particular bag years back out of pigskin but I'm using this same design right now on a new footbag with a rearrangement of the colors. Unlike a typical 32-panel, this design uses only 30 panels

Just came across an old video that a friend from Denmark shared with me from the 1995 European Footbag Championships. It's been years since I've seen this and it was a kick, literally, to see it again!

The Grid is an unusual design... maybe more unusual than functional for a footbag. It's got 60 panels with 20 triangular pouches held together with three well-placed stitches. Each little pouch consists

A few months ago I met Dean Anderson, a footbagger out of Australia who is also sewing together some cool designs. We connected online and agreed to a trade: I would send him one of my Morning Stars and

The Offset is composed of 92 panels: 12 pentagons and 80 triangles. It's a pretty unusual design for sphere construction as each pentagon is offset or slightly turned as you go along. A better way to

The Panther is a relative to the Cat's Paw bag, a design I sold to Wham-O back in the day. A lot of people who worked for Wham-O back then were freestyle frisbee guys and one of them contacted me at a

The four panel Twisted is a pretty unique design that Chris Anderson came up with back in the day. Our friend "Bart" (Eric Bartholomay) kinda jumped on this one and helped Chris produce and promote

This 26-panel design is made out of pigskin and contains 6 red octagons, 8 black hexagons, and 12 gray squares. It qualifies as a unique footbag, but only just. What makes this bag rare is the inclusion

The Shock Absorber is an interesting bag design that hides a secret: its center is hollow! The only fill used in the bag is held inside the 12 three-dimensional pentagons making up the outer shell. Each

Two of my best friends, Bruce Guettich and Peter Shunny, met me, Stephanie (@geke), and Shawn for a round of disc golf up in Adams Hollow, north of Denver, this morning. Bruce operates the World Footbag

The WhiteSnake is a play off the eight panel footbag. The eight panels are obvious, but the bag has a total of 26, including 12 snaking panels and 6 white squares where the snaking panels meet. The bag

The Infinity is one of three bag designs I sold to Wham-O for mass production. It's probably the most unusual design that I've done and one that's not easy to make. With most bags, you stitch it inside-out,

The Lotus is a 122-panel bag and one of the very few I've made with four shapes: pentagons, squares, diamonds, and triangles. When you're creating a sphere, the pentagon shape is key: that's what curves

The easiest, quickest bag I've ever sewn is a one-panel Sand Dollar. After sewing many complex, multi-panel patterns, I wondered if I could design a bag with just one panel! It took a little thought, but
