Jon Schneider, Bruce Dole and Matt Cross. Or was it Paul Agostinelli? I remember some barefoot shred and the smell of Tiger Balm from Spike'n'Shred '05. :)

I remember my first proper circle with other freestylers was at Worlds 04 and two people I can remember being in it were Ville Laaakso (sp? :P ) and Flash Gordon. It was my first time seeing tricks hit that I couldn't hit and it was so thrilling to see!

I remember being so shy about playing on the first day!

Besides Dave, whom I knew a while before footbag but never knew about footbag, the first people I played with were John Schnieder and Andrew(sorry, I forget the last name). Then I played with Alex Strassman a little later on and then chris miller last week. Thats it so far.

Ellis Piltz, Chad D., Sunil, Brian McKenzie, Kyle Crawford, and I forgot who else at Texas State's in 2000 I think it was. I think they all came in to see Ellis when he was still living in Austin.

They blew my mind. 8O

edit: I forgot to add that they were all incredibly nice and cool guys. They welcomed me right in even though I was a complete noob who could only do a handful of 3 adds.

At the last kick till your sick( my first tournement), I shredded with Drew Martin and Jack Keller. Also, Matt Cross taught me how to play four square, although I wasn't really interested at the time.

Oh, and I can't forget that I played with Dan the Man too.
