are they really sponsered by footbag.org? but yeh I was also wondering if there obviously aquanted with .org why don't they use the correct terms for the names of tricks... like the trick of the week is a flapper I think, but they call it a show pony...

that's just some vocabularies mixed up together. most of the words aren't even latin.
some of them are latin but there's no sense behind those sentences.
i've had latin in school for 6 years...

It seems I solved the mistery. Apparently, there's a webdesign book
called "Designing without tables using CSS", and this is their sample site.

Have a look here:

"Footbag Freaks website, Our Sample Site: Footbag Freaks

Show Pony

Justin at his best.

The latin part is actually called lorem ipsum and it's used by printers to test layouts. http://www.lipsum.com/

that's really cool. never heard of lorem ipsum before.

now the mystery is completely solved...

I think the reason they say they are sponsored by .org is that they use that picture - by giving probsw to .org, .org let them use the picture.
Otherwise .org would be able to sue them, since .org have the copyright of the pictures hosted there.

Hopefully somebody sees that site and gets into footbag due to it - that would be nice. Kinda cool they chose footbag!
