Lots of footbag information. (Hacky Sack is a registered trademark of the
Wham-O Corporation and so it can't be used on a public basis - you'd think
the the folks at Wham-O would want to have its products publicized and get
exposure to the hobby/sport - go figure...) In any case, this site offers
info on playing footbag, the IFAB rules of play and help on choosing the
proper footbag and what shoes to wear while playing. Hey - these folks take
their hobby/sport seriously and it shows. There are collections of clips
including sound, pictures and movies that relate to playing footbag. There
is even a competition list for upcoming tournaments. Much more here...

easy to fill in although the help commands once logged-in are rather slim.
Not everyone here is involved in intense playing and you are just as likely
to find many leisurely players and folks who just come to chat and meet
people. If you like backgammon - this site will get you hooked and you will
be hard pressed to meet such a diverse crowd anywhere else on the 'net.

Filled with running information. Recommended training schedules, proper
footwear, injury prevention and treatment advice and much more. This site
also has numerous links to running publications and other jogging and
running sites on the Internet. Not a huge archive - but what it does have
is right "on the money" and very well done. Good advice to be found here.
