Theyre logos and product labels look like thier target market is younger kids, but theres obviously young adults in the commercial. They kinda contradict each other somewhat. Although I completely understand that is is hard to find a group of younger players.

I like how the commercial shows some good basic moves and people having fun - with the voices and a close up of emily smiling.

Also, the voices could have been a litttttle better I think, you know?

Its really exciting what Duncan is doing!

They should have paid you a LOT more money!!!! Movie extras make that much for standing in the background. You not only were the focus of the commercial, but were demonstrating a skill that the producers of the commercial just can't find on the street. The ad itself was exactly what it needed to be. The growth of footbag as a sport will come from players starting in large numbers in a younger demographic. Then by the time they are in their late teens early twenties they will be shredding at an amazing level, pushing this sport to the forefront.

I respect that they're trying to appeal to the kids, but that ad was pretty lame. I can understand that they didn't want to show much fancy, because it would probably scare people away, but the voice-over was ridiculous.

HEY DID YOU KNOW DUNCAN MAKES FOOTBAGS NOW?
WTF IS A FOOTBAG?
I DON'T KNOW LET'S GET HIGH
AND PLAY HACKY SACK.

(EDIT: I don't intend this to be an attack on you guys; it just seemed like a hoaxy ad, that's all.)

I'm gonna go with zach on this one...overall it seemed a little (not to sound rude) but kind of "home made". By no means did it differentiate from just kicking around a sipa sipa.

I think duncun can really step up their game but they're making progress, way to go guys

Super cool! If I knew a really, really good-looking girl that yo-yoed I'd probably use this as a shallow and inadequate way to kiss her right now!
