Who is everybody's favorite pro, or who is most influential to you. Mine would be:
-Kenny Shults of course for creating all these freestyle moves.
-Vasek Klouda for making me look like shit compared to him but making me want to shred even more.
-Eric Wulff & Peter Irish for there insane competitions

Justin Dale - influenced by kicking with him at 95% of my sessions
Ricky Moran - influenced by kicking with him maybe 30% of the time, but regardless
Dylan Fry - influenced me to work on basics first, both sides
Allan Haggett - influenced me to work on being loose and to play with strong posture

Countless others!

Jorden - for being so creative
Peter Irish - for being The Man
Ryan - for his bounce and amazing stage presence
Vasek - for being Vasek
Johnny - for being so smooth and godly yet amazingly humble
modified.ca - it's impossible not to be influenced by all of modified! I often think of vids I see or blog posts about links that people hit that gave me new ideas and I try them out for myself. Modified rules!!

Felix, he taught me that this game involves style too. AND he taught me stepping set (and more)

I'm liking Sunil Jani, he's really fast at shredding. And I love Rippin Rick Reeses' early day routines. But my new favorite is Jim Penske

Ryan Todexxon 2003. My first tournament ever and Peter Irish and Ryan were there. Quite a cool finish , Peter followed by Ryan. Vasek has to cancel his final due to a injury but Ryan's performance was a blast.

The atmosphere in the club also pushed the crowd.

After this tourney ( I played for about 6 month and travelled solo to Praha ) it was clear to proceed in freestyle footbag.

Thanks Praha ! There are other personalities who had much impact on me but I do not want to write a book here so I will leave it to footbag only.

Mostly at each new video there are players I admire for their skills but noone will ever had such an impact like I saw freestyle footbag for the first time live and on stage !

Johnny
Ted Anderson
Mike Hansen
Will Rockey
Mike Strumpf

Ted, Mike and Mike were the first people that i ever played with. They blew my mind and i was just barely tiltless. They showed me so much stuff and taught me osis and many other things.

Johnny is just amazing and a cool guy, hes just one year older than me

Rockey is so nice and amazing at footbag. Hes super consistent, and thats what im striving for.
