Hello Fellow Shredders!
I'm very pleased to announce that Freedom Footbags is now
nearly poised to release a new "flyer".
I see this flyer as a potential HUGE leap in footbag
play everywhere. Currently, I’d say that the vast
majority of people that purchase footbags have
very little idea what is possible beyond something
like, say, a “Super Jester.” This flyer outlines many
of the fundamental *building blocks* that will
give new players a better understanding of the
potential of footbag.
Many of us have taken the time to show a newbie
a few basic moves. It can be very difficult to grasp many
of these concepts and remember them in a five minute
demo. Now, all you’ll have to do is hand over a flyer!
I’m planning to sell this flyer for $1.00 each
(or give them away with a purchase). The reasoning
for this is simple. If you give something to someone,
they’re a lot less likely to value it than if they’d
actually paid something for it. Once this flyer has
completed this review phase (which will be only
for a few days) and the final version is available,
I’m going to encourage everyone to make a few
copies for yourselves. Feel free to give them away,
or even charge $1.00 and keep it for the copying
costs.
There is one deal with this flyer that I’d like to make
clear up front. Coping it in the original condition
is fine. I just don’t want people changing it and
using it for their own devices.
The flyer is only one page, front and back, and attempts
to describe footbag freestyle in within this very limited
space.
The final flyer will be folded in 1/4's, and I will rotate
the basic kicks/delays section 180 deg, before printing.
I intend to make a few color copies, but for the most
part I will be distributing this in black & white, due to
the expense of color copies .
I sincerely welcome any constructive criticism anyone
may have - whether they be a newbie or a pro.
The front of the flyer is essentially done, with the exception
of tweaking the "clouds" and lines. I am still debating
on whether to keep these clouds and lines, or ditch them.
In a way, they help to clarify what text goes with what
picture. However, I'm not sure if they would clutter
up the image too much or not. If I do clouds and
lines on the front, I would also have to add them to the
back, which would require a bit of shrinking on the
already tiny text. Please vote on this and give me your
input!
At this point, I'm guessing I've spent some 80+ hours
on this project. It's unlikely that I will do any further
major changes (i.e. adding new moves or something),
but I'd still welcome any feedback. I wanted to have
some fresh eyes look at this before I sent it off to the
printer.
I've uploaded the files to the under the following directory:

And you'll want to right click and "save link as" on the
following files:
(EDIT: You must view these .jpg in Illustrator, or Photoshop
due to the format they are saved in)

If you cannot view the .jpg's I pre-apologize for the size
of the following .PDFs viewable in Adobe Acrobat Reader:
(Approx 30 meg each!)

Note, spelling errors have been corrected on the .PDF versions.
Also, once I have the final version done, I'm looking for
volunteers that want to help translate this into as many
languages as possible! Please let me know if you are
interested.
Thanks for looking!
Keep shredding
.Peace.
