The sport of footbag has a pretty interesting history as well. Did you know it was actually invented back in 1973 by Mike Marshall and John Stalberger?

Found by Mike’s wife, Linda in their flower bed, this gem is believed to be their first attempt at the now classic 2-panel, baseball cut design from late in 1973.
