| Who here is into hacky-sack? I mean, fairly good at it? I have never been interested. What, if any, are some cool uses for the skills? |

Wasting time mostly
I played a lot in High School and College, a little with my kids lately.
Good for foot eye coordination and kind of keeps you limber. |

| Hackey sack is an exlcelent cardiovascular workout, and is hard to play without the actual hackey sack. I can reccomend not trying it with fruits or bowling balls. they are not adequate substitutes! |

| How are you supposed to start to learn? Kick it back and forth? Or keep it in the air by yourself? |

If you practice with someone else you won't get as tired. it definitely teaches control and helps with flexibility. |

We used to play a lot in high school. If you broke the "no hands" rule the penatly was getting pegged hard with the bag. One day whilst playing near the road the hack went into traffic and landed in the back of a trailer with Missouri plates. Never saw that sucker again.
True story, A group of guys were playing hackey on the edge of angel's landing in Zion National Park. The hack went errant and some guy dove for it, and ended up slidding and falling off a 900 foot cliff. Dude! It's just a sack, let it go! |

| I played it some around the turn of the century, but I haven't had many friends lately who were into it. Oh well, I was never good at it... |
