Trace TV

This was aired on Trace TV, a French music channel.
The competition footage was taken from the 7th French Open in November, and the outdoor footage was filmed in the city center of Paris.
Shredders are Franck Remy, Charles Dupuy and me.

Ugh ! You french sure know how to make footbag look 'cool'. I'm envious. All we've got over here is Scott on Jenny Jones

that was awesome exposure for footbag. I couldnt understand one word being said, but i could tell it was very informative and the footage showed varied tricks and uniqueness. One more step in the right direction for the sport!!

Nice Job, Sergio. That looked like a good program. Too bad the "journalists" never really understand how to film footbag, always showing us from the waist up, filming us from the waist to the knees. Man, those guys can be dumb.

Ah, that vid makes me miss Paris so much, I can't wait to go back. Do you guys often shred at Le Pompidu? What a perfect place to play! I just wish that they featured more of Franck Remy. They didn't really captura much of his unique style, the eclipses and exagerated back-stalls, for instance. I miss that about Paris, too.

There is also a little bit of Max Kerkoff and Karim Daouk during french open...

We don't really shred often at Pompidou... We have just been there for the TV... It was around 0°C outside this day, but it's definitly a good place to shred!

Johny, Paris miss you and your unique style to

En plus, sur le site internet de la chaine ils disent 'balle en plastique'

Il y a aussi le fait qu'elle dise que 'la pratique etait utilisee par les pecheurs asiatiques pour reveiller les corps endormis' sans parler du fait que cette forme la du sport vient des USA. A croire que les pecheurs asiatiques balancaient des blurriest > blurry whirl..
EDIT: au temps pour moi. En fait elle dit que ca a ete '"importe des States il y a 20 ans"

Jon, we play at the Centre Pompidou only occasionally in summer. There are just too many good spots in Paris.
I think there's only one solution to your problem : come to Paris!

All props go to Miquel Clemente, President of the French Footbag Association. He was the one in contact with the journalist.

The channel is far from being one of the most watched in France (it's a satellite channel), but I suppose they aired it at least a few times between movie clips.
