I think you're all missing the point here. I'm not saying that footbag dance is awesome, but Blough was friends with Marshal and Stalberger. He's seen the stalls, he knows what shred is - he just doesn't like it. The whole point of the website is that doing fifteen or thirty contact stalling tricks is way worse for circle dynamic than "self serving" or any of that crap. Basically he thinks that shredding is introspective and unfriendly.what would one of those guys say when u pull of nemesis in front of them?you probably destroy theyre view of the world
And for everybody else, circle kicking is where it's at. I didn't mean that to be an attack directly at you, just that a couple of threads recently were slagging footbag.com and while I think it's a fucking terrible website, most of the insults were along the lines of "these guys are so stupid, they don't know what shred is so they're idiots" when in fact the website clearly outlines the difference between shred and kicking, and explains why Blough thinks kicking is better.anyway,dumb topic...lets all be friends...
http://www.naturalphysiques.com/cms/?itemid=114The Mystique and Essence of Bloughchi Footbag: An Interview with Steve - The Danceman - Blough. Every so often the mainstream sports scene is struck by an athlete who seems to possess superhuman abilities on the playing courts and fields. He or she is always at least one step ahead of the opposition and consistently finds ways to get in the right position at the right time to make the really “big” plays.
Moreover, these players often make these feats look so easy and natural that they might go unnoticed by the casual fan or observer. Basketball has its Michael Jordan, boxing has its Muhammad Ali, football has Barry Sanders, baseball has Pete Rose, hockey has Wayne Gretsky, tennis has Pete Sampras, golf has Tiger Woods, cycling has Lance Armstrong, and soccer has Pele. These men have become icons in the world of sport, and as such they have become synonymous with human excellence.
But what of the great players and innovators of the sports that are not so well-entrenched within the fabric of our society? What of the athletes who have risen to stellar heights in their own unique sport, despite the fact that the sport itself exists in relative obscurity? What can be said or written about these men and women and their contributions to not only the world of sport, but to the sport of life in general? Well, in the game of footbag one name stands out like a shining star; that name is Steve Blough. The interview that follows is an attempt to get to know this man, “The Danceman”, a true living legend amongst legions of footbaggers world wide.
). It really pissed me off (being a hacker at the time) to see him try and take credit for basic kicks, that anyone will learn simply by picking up a footbag and kicking for a few months. I think he's just a bitter, self-promoting, fat old fart, who can't handle to watch people taking "his" sport to new heights. Perhaps Blough's next step will be to make an educational school video; "THE TERRORS OF FREESTYLE FOOTBAG." Unfortunately having the dot com probably deters a lot of would-be freestylers from ever even seeing where the sport is headed, or even what it really is. Damn that man.. with his shorts so short.
