First time- I got a hackey as a kid and lost it down the ac duct in the floor. I kicked a sack outside of jack in the box around age 16 and still remember the first "good" kick I ever did- that was 20 years ago or so 8O

Best bag- A broken in one, I have friends who have lots of broken in bags so I dont need any.

Player I wish I could play with- Mike Marshall :P The heart of freestyle began there.

Achievement- I still have time
:D

Fave vid- raw shred 8)

trick name- thanks to kens reminding, gay vagrant LOL

hard flip changes over time- maybe pdx atom, or pixie ducking butter, at least ive hit em both on both sides?

the hardest move I can do is the same for 6 or 7 years, fairy opp torque. but I still hit it every session I try LOL/.
dexless= I dont try, maybe spin duck frigidosis/

234 tricks , I have add and this is getting boring to me :)

hit this move now? Nuke opp torque, or spin duck pdx blender(gangsta party)?

Steal components? Id take all lons style!!

nicknames, i dont care.

Cities- Id like to visit Aus or NZ because Ive never been there. Plus great fishing :) :D

Best tourney - worlds 2002, lots of fun and I got to see the city unlike 2000. Montreal was also kickass.

Best friend- lots of friends at different tourneys wherever I go. Thats one of the best parts of travelling to a tourney is that it puts you a little outside your comfort zone. Ive made friends at every tourney I ever went to :)
Footbag goal- Try and not make enemies??? Lmao If you only knew how tough it was to be a footbagger in chicago. :roll:
I really just hope to not get injured and to have lots of fun when I do play :D :D

Name one really good friend you have made through footbag: Again, one? Like, Johnny / Jorden / Anssi tie again. You've got too many others coming in my head as well. I guess the biggest amount of happiness I've ever endured was watching Ted Fritsch's routine at Worlds Finals this year, so, it goes to him. Man-god.

Worlds 07 for all the right reasons, Worlds 08 for all the wrong reasons, but The 'Oom jam was hands down the best jam ever.

Who has been the most influential person to your footbag development?
Erik Chan and Derek Vandall each in a different way. Probably Derek with his "every time yiou hit a toe stall, i'm going to 'boo' you"
add Manna Mpepo to that list

Name one footbag goal you have for the next 6 months:
breaking 10 fearless, scoring a shred 30 over 200
Got over 200 in a shwack of contests, including 2 World Championship finals. Never got 10 fearless, got 9, but it's not really on my radar anymore. Just to enjoy kicking with my friends, be it freestyle or net.

Name one really good friend you have made through footbag:
Derek Vandall, Erik Chan, Josh Wayborn, Jess Archer, Joel Dion, Scott Ellenberger, Rory Dawson, and others.
Add Jon Haber, Manna Mpepo, and Dan Boyle. Shredmonton crew are brothers to me, forever and for always.
A.G.
