Solid!

Obvisouly you are mastering your routine pretty well now!!

I prefer this one then the previous one. I guess it's because it fit better with the show overall?

Hey all,

I'm still very much alive. Kicked 5 days this week.
Hitting all kinds of new hands and feet stuff. :)

If you thought the days of me releasing a lot of footage are over, think again! I have a lot of projects in the planning stages. Expect some exciting stuff in 2013.
I'll be performing in Germany (Essen, Hanover, Bad Oeynhausen, Muenster, Munich) starting next month for a full year (November & December off). Come visit me and get free tickets to the show!! Details here:

(PM for an exact schedule)

I still give advice on training and performing! E-mail me if you have any pressing questions. Also the online coaching program is still up and running.

Lata!

Hey Jorden, I'll be in Berlin for 10 months starting in September. We should definitely have a session/jam in Germany during the winter, especially since we didn't have a chance to do that this summer. Keep in touch!

Hi all,

As of now I am officially retired from footbag competition.
I can still attend tournaments if you're interested in having me,
but just to play or judge.

Thanks for nice times/memories. :)

Jorden

P.S. No Worlds this year. Big juggling event the exact same week. :x
P.P.S. I like how on the World's largest footbag forum as I'm writing this, "footbag" has a red line under it implying a misspelled word. *Sigh*

When I attended the U.S. Open in 2007 I was brand new, and wasn't familiar enough with even the most basic concepts to understand how great your trick variety is. I stopped playing for several years, but by the time I got to see you play in Boise a couple years ago I could really appreciate your command of so many underutilized components. While it saddens me to see you announce your retirement from competition I hope you really do continue to attend events to judge, teach, and play. Newer players like myself could use help from people like you who understand the precise mechanics of good form. Footbag also needs someone to advocate real variety in trick repertoire, and style in routines.

I still want to take up your public offer of online lessons, but I'm still at a level where a bit of discipline and common sense will guide me in the right direction.

Please don't drop off the map!

It's great to see everything you have done in competition.
Mainly EPIC circle performances, and also a couple routines I enjoyed :)
Thanks

You are the last player left on my checklist of awesome footbaggers to shred with, it's gotta happen someday!!!

This has nothing to do with the forum and everything to do with your web browser. If you right click on the word and add it to your dictionary, that will stop.

I thought you had already retired from competition? Wasn't your last Worlds like 6 years ago? Or is this announcement just making it official? In any case, I always enjoyed competing against you, even in Circle comp...where it was more like having front row seats to my own butt-paddling. :)

Interesting.

It is amazing that out of all the competitions, from the last few years, that we've both gone to... We've never competed against each other.. Since 2007 anyway...

I guess this changes our shred-relationship in absolutely no way then. Sweet. :)
