The history of footbag

BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 24 Jul 2005 19:53

Hey,
I am doing a short video clip on the history of footbag that I will upload and will be availible for download when it is completed.

The video will document footbag history highlighting the roles various players have played in its advancement.

This is what I need:

You to post here or PM me if you know alot about the history of sports (I will try to get in contact with as many experianced players as I can to make this project as through and accurate as possible).

Any website URL's with footage of documentation of footbag history from the beginning of footbag untill now.

Any footage or documentation YOU have that is an important part of footbag history (especially from the 80's and early 90's) I will need alot of information on Kenny Shults, Peter Irish and other footbag legands.

Any other valuble information you have reguarding the history of footbag.

Any help you can give will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Nic Bathgate
