\nUnfortunately I haven’t had so much time to kick this month, but I did get a short clip in one of my favourite locations.

Any footbag in Australia is always great for me to see, but it’s very exciting to see some solid improvements from Albert Hua since I first played with him in Melbourne a couple of years ago. Albert is from Vietnam and a great freestyle football player, nice to see a mix of the skills. Hope we can kick together this year.

I always try and include a video of someone doing regular kicks in this lists of what’s around on Instagram. The beauty of the platform is that you can share something really simple and they may really strike people. The sport is known as “Fuchi” in Colombia, and here they are kicking at a skatepark somewhere in the USA.

This is a long running tradition in the footbag community, and this year Ryan Morris will be behind the wheel.
\nFire up the Joulukalenteri
\nRyan has been in this segment a few times but he has a very important task coming up. His game is really improving too! Here’s some pixie shuffle.

Heavy Shred with Josh Gayhart
\nThis guy is bringing out some big moves each time he posts a clip. I’ve featured him a few times before and that is definitely deserved. This one doesn’t disappoint.

I have had a few clips from Bruce Li in the past year who has brought his Jianzi skills into the footbag world. Even better, he is bringing some young recruits with him. The scene in China is increasing and hopefully we will see some competitions there in the future.

It is the legendary “Disco Ninja” showing some footbag skills to some boxers. It is great to see other sports using footbag as a way of cross training. Tuan is quite involved in the martial arts scene, particularly Jiu Jitsu.

A great slow motion clip from Sergio Garcia in Spain. The bag works quite well against the background in this clip.

I was looking for a “footbag in front of a nice background” video, and this one surpassed all expectations. That includes on the view count, after one day it has more than 50,000 views.\u00a0 Aside from excellent views across the famous Yosemite National Park, these two both have quite good control. Hope to see some more of them in the future, and maybe footbag could use the publicity.\u00a0 Also, I would love to visit Yosemite some day.

Scott Davidson has been playing every day since he turned 40, which is some years back now. He is very skilled at seamless juggles, although this one is a little bit different. He holds on to the bag after the juggle to do a pendulum with both bags.

She carried with her a golden hacky sack, for hacking was her favorite hobby. For hours at a time she would bounce the little bean-filled bag from foot to foot. She had made an effort to play with it less, but alas, she couldn\u2019t kick the habit…\u201d There\u2019s more where that came from (sorry? ?) inside #Muppets \u201c#FairyTales from the #BrothersGrimm,\u201d out now and scientifically engineered to tickle every reader age 8 to 88.

Workout World
\nI find that gyms have a bit of a strange place in footbag. Some people will do extra training for footbag fitness, some people will be able to play their session in the gym, some other gyms will not let you play. It’s nice to see a gym encouraging footbag as a new sport to people there.

We’re into August now, Worlds have been and gone and there have been some more cool footbag events. Here we go with another monthly wrap of what’s happening on Instragram in the footbag world.

Happy Birthday Honza
\nIt was multiple time World Champion Honza Weber’s birthday recently, and he celebrated by going to a dinosaur park. How fun! There is a dinosaur museum here in Canberra and I have kicked there a few times over the years.

It’s no secret that Nick Polini is pretty good at reverse swirl based tricks. Here’s five toe revups (reverse swirling pickup) to prove it.
\nBembel Cup
\nThe German event celebrated ten years in Frankfurt.\u00a0 It’s mainly a net event but always attracts a few freestylers as well. There’s not as much net action on Instagram, but there are plenty of clips from the event on the Frankfurt Footbag page.

\nI haven’t heard of this band before, but they play hack on tour and have released seven or so albums, so they must be doing something right. More bands should do this on tour.
