I believe I was also one of the few to see the 1 on 1 Lon-Jorden circle.

We are discussing ideas about 'best in the world' and rankings over at the Aussie .org forum a bit. How you do in competition and how good you are compared to everyone else are very different things...

I cant wait to see video from this event, the more i read the more jealous i become!! I want to hear more about phat new tricks...

I saw FIRE in my face as we played fire hack at the freedom house. I saw nothing as Aaron whipped me with a foam stick in our pool. I saw tons of incredible shred and cool people all week. I saw Vasek passed out on my couch and better get that picture someone took.

I saw and graded too many shred 30 vids

I saw more people smoking weed in one spot then ever before

I saw more stitchers stitching in one place then ever before

I saw more amazing bags at one event then ever before

I saw lots of new and cool people

I saw that footbag is spreading worldwide

I saw (and was in) the first dragon-majority shred circle ever

I saw Dave Clavens rippin' it so hard it didn't matter that his back was hurt

I saw Jim Penske put his heart and soul into a routine

I saw that same routine pay off and get 2nd

I saw Jim almost cry when he heard

I saw only one person be inducted into BAP, the one person who deserved it more than anyone.

I saw such massive epicness that, even though you'll probibly see it on video, you can't imagine what it was like being there.

I saw that Byrin is as good as the hype

I saw that I wasn't

I saw that Willy D is also better then me

I saw how to fix both of those issues :)

I drank too much and attempted to rip a phone book in half.

I hate phone books now.

Next year I'll understand technique over brute force and pwn phone books.

I'm kicking myself for passing-up playing 9-square with Ken :(
It just looked like a mess from where I was watching. I saw one hack-off between two teams at opposite squares (like with a whole empty square between them!), and that was neat.

That's right!

I conceptualized the set, hit the set, couldn't hit anything out of it, told henry about the set, he barfed out toe matador first try and the next day I got that and toe nuke legover.

Then a few days later I hit toe matador as my final move in the circle contest. This was the first time toe nuclear set had been used in competition in footbag history. Hehe I feel like I am allowed to be proud of myself on that one.



I will agree that 9 square was amazing. Also, the people playing 4 square were all anti Sam C and I extending their 4 to 9 but then they were all in love later. We also played DOUBLES 9 square!!! 18 active players!!
Crazy action!! You got to wail on the bag!


I think one of my most memorable sights from world's was waking up, stumbling out of my room in my undies and finding Sunil Jani and Vasek in my living room, neither of whom were staying at my house. This was also my first meeting with Sunil, hehe.
