A Hacky sack is a small bag filled with small pebbles or beads that is used to play a
game with your feet. The object is to keep the Hacky sack in the air and off the ground for as many hits as possible and try to have everyone in the hack circle to hit it at least once. Once you are good enough you may attempt tricks such as behind the leg, around the world, stalls, ankle breaker, up and over, etc.
There are also a variety of other gmaes to play with a hacky sack such as
Killer
Hack- a certain amount of
people must touch the
hack and then anyone can grab it out of the air and whip it at another person in the circle. If you are hit you are out for that
game.
Power
Hack- Everyone tried to hit the hacky sack as high into the air as possible, and make amazing saves to keep it going.
4
Square- Normally played with hands and a large ball that bounces, the rules are very similar but you play with a hacky sack and your feet. If you let the Hacky sack land in your
square you are out and someone new comes in.
Hacky sack is a sociable
game and can be thought of as a minor sport, no doubt that this
game will eventually make it to the olypics as many irregular sports/games have. I dont know if there will be many competitors though because many hackyers are stoners, and you are not allowed drugs during the olympics.
