Footbagging has local roots
By Dave Dulberg
Of the Emerald
“Take your lime and ex
perience a new beginning. For
the earth is yours and your feet
are the key.”
This excerpt from "Footbag
Dance,” a book on footbagging
by Steven Blough, reflects the
momentum this relatively new
sport has taken on — particular
ly in Eugene, which is the home
of its “not so ancient” roots.
The “father of footbagging”
is John Stalberger, who was
visiting the Northwest in 1972
when a man named Mike Mar
shall captured his curiosity.
Marshall was playing an in
teresting little game in which he
bumped a bean bag with the ex
tremities of his body.
Stallberger joined in. Soon they
were going for records, seeing
who might kick the bag the
most times and experimenting
with what kind of kicks they
could invent.
Together, the two created a
legacy of flying leather and clip
per kicks that has spread like
windswept leaves on an autumn
day.
“About half of the world
champions of footbaging are
from Eugene,” says Jim Fit
zgerald, world class free-stylist
and footbag enthusiast, who
competed in the world cham
pionships held last summer in
Boulder, Colo. There were
about 125 entrants from all over
the nation.
Fitzgerald found so much ex
citement from the sport that he
decided to make a career out of
it. Together with a few fellow
enthusiasts, he began The Fly
ing Leather Clippers — the only
footbag company in Eugene.
They are capable of producing
about 800 footbags a month.
They also make footbag carry
ing pouches and other
paraphernalia necessary for the
modern day footbagger. An
American sport isn’t an
American sport unless there are
custom-made accesories for the
“footbagger with everything.”
There are no poster sales and
no huge salaries for talented
footbaggers — so far.
The Flying Leather Clippers
makes quality footbags. hand
stitched out of cowhide. They
are even experimenting with ex
otic hides, like deerskin and
African antelope. They
. . . come into play. . .
guarantee their footbags for a
full year of “back kicks, insides
and outsides.”
The Flying Leather Clippers
are also promoters of the game.
Their club. Footbag Lovers of
Eugene (FLOE), boasts 15
members.
There are several ways to play
footbag. Free-style is the most
visible form at the University.
Players form a circle and keep
the bag aloft with a combination
of kicks. In competition, kickers
are judged according to the dif
ficulty, execution and variety, of
their kicks.
There is also the consecutive
kick where one person or a team
of two try to bounce the bag as

many times as possible. The
record for a single kicker is
17,872 kicks held by 18-year
old Andy Linder of Geneva. III.
The most competitive game
involves playing on a rec
tangular court divided in half
by a five foot net. Singles and
doubles matches are scored like
volleyball, and the more ex
perienced players often spike
the ball over the net. Players are
allowed five hits on a side and
are not permitted to use their
upper bodies.^
Another'variation of the game
is footbag golf, which is played
like frisbee golf. Players attempt
to reach a designated area by
kicking the ball.
Although most people refer to •
the game as Hacky Sack, most
people “in the know” realize
that this really isn’t the name of
the game or the bag. It’s simply
a brand of footbag, like frisbee is
a brand of disc.
Footbag even has its own na
tional governing body, the
World Footbag Association.
But the best thing about foot
bag is its accessibility.
“You only need a bag and a
place to play,” says Fitzgerald.
And the rewards. .. just r id
Blough:
“There are thresholds that
come to you and through these
thresholds you are drawn in by
some magical charm that is very
hard to explain. These
thresholds are felt by orie and
all and cannot be missed. Such
a feeling."
