We had all gathered inside the building and we were kicking around a footbag. Naturally we had a few new people and one of them happened to be one of my good friends but he was a little inexperienced, a Freshman. He was looking to impress us all, and he might have if he hadn't made a mistake. You see, we had this crazy concept that the cool thing to do was to kick the bag really high to hit the ceiling. I had recently just started freestyling and the only move I was capable of doing was the neck stall.

We started a rally and we got a hack so I decided to try my move but at the same time my Freshman friend leaned back and spotted the bag. He wound up for a hard toe kick right as I lowered my head to catch the bag on my neck. He made contact with my nose and I heard everyone in the room gasp as I stumbled backwards, doubling over in pain. Someone caught me because they thought I was going to fall down. I just could not believe I had been kicked in the face with boots but it happened, and it hurt so I asked if some people would get me paper towels to clean it off. I cleaned up and walked around for a week with a painful nose but I didn't tell anyone in the administration office because I knew they would ban footbag at school. I'd just like to say that I took a kick for footbag!

Footbag.com commment: This shows how really dangerous kicking can be if everyone is not very careful, courteous, and controlled when they kick!
