Well now, i've been interested in playin Hack now for about twelve years. Ever since i played California games for the Atari Lynx! Problem is, i never got round to actually havin a go with a proper Hacky Sack until bout twelve months ago cos nobody round my way seemed interested. They all went straight edge and said it was a game for long-haired hippy surfers(maybe it is?). Then i got in with the right crowd and thanks to all my free-spirited friends Hack has exploded in our town!! We started by playin just once a week and only when everyone could get. Now there's a band of maybe, twenty of us who tend to play whenever it's mentioned. We always always carry a hack with us now, just in case. I think it's a fantastic way of keeping fit w/out even realising cos you're havin so much fun. It's also a good way of socialising as anyone can play. I believe Hack should be seen as a sort of Martial Art/religion. Well it is to me anyway... By the way, i don't know who else plays this rule around the world, but we recommend that you can't say sorry when you mess up, cos, being English, we find it all to easy to say and it becomes laughable when your saying it every other word. This also makes beginners very comfortable knowing that they're not really letting anyone down. Anyhoo, my fingers are gettin tired now so i'm gonna stop. If anyone ever wants to talk Hack don't be a stranger...and if you're reading this from a computer near Alfreton... get your arse down here.
