[net.rec.disc] Hackey In?

Anybody out there familiar with a game called Hackey Sack?
Anyone ever stand in a circle and kick a footbag and
execute shots like the Clipper or Rainbow?
I'm just curious.

Come on!  It's bad enough seeing hackey sack played at every
ultimate tournament, now we have to see it in a frisbee forum. 
Frisbee and hackey sack have very little in common.  In fact, the
only similarity exists with the participants.  It seems that many
Frisbee players also play hackey sack.  But many (and I believe all)
Frisbee players also breathe.  I don't think this forum should be
used to discuss breathing just as I don't think hackey sack should
be discussed. 

To Frisbee:  It is the best!

Well I may have put this in to stir up action....

sure!
Hacky-sacking is quite popular nowadays; though I remember when
*only* hardcore rock-climbers (in Yosemite Valley) used to indulge.

they claimed it enhanced their balance, timing, etc..  all I know,
is that it takes practice!
