See I had posted on this suject,wich is how do I close my bag properly.I followed that 4 panel instruction,but when it came to closing the bag I was confused.He says construct a bombproof knot directly at ground zero.What the hack does that mean?

[Richard Vock (comastalker)]

it just means that you need to make a good knot at the end

"bombproof" means good and ground zero is the the name for point a bomb explodes in which here is the end of the last seam

[Martin Piche (Wuzzle)]

Oh alright I see.I think thats what I tried to do and the result seems good for a first bag.Ok well thanks for clearing this out.

[Spencer Smith (Guitard)]

These guides have been really useful to me. I made my first 14 panel from J Haber's reworked tutorial, but it turned out a bit small. It works though! Here is the pic next to my sandmaster. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a36/spencermsmith/P7070261.jpg I plan on making a 32 panel soon.
. Thanks for all of the help with the sewing, and anymore tutorials would be helpful.

Hey all. New here and to footbagging, but i'd like to express my thankyou's for providing me with those links. I just made my very own footbag, as i have no official ones, but it seems to be alright : D

If i am breaking rules about posting to late after the last post, i apologise.

[Alexander Trenner (mr.alex)]

no posting too late or breaking the rules! Welcome to the board and props to your self-made footbag!

I've found some other stuff/sites which could be linked to here. I'll post 'em in the next days when I have more time.

[Nathan Richardson (Striker212)]
