I've never met anyone so I probably shouldn't post here. :\
Brian is attending art school somewhere in Tennessee, along with his girlfriend Holly. He has a freaking awesome tattoo of a robot melting a city with his eyes (or something like that). He makes really good (looking) footbags.
I hope to meet him at worlds.

I met Jon at Funtastiks '05, the first big named footbag tournament I attended as a beginner freestyler. He was a really cool guy, kicked with the NYFA crew at some corner away from the other big circles in the middle of some street in Harrisburg. I was pretty shy back then, so I don't think I talked much then. I remember he and Jack Keller were motivating me to play more to sweat out all of the good beer I had the night before.
He's still a pretty cool guy. I think we usually crack jokes whenever we see each other on Footbag chat and at footbag jams. He can definitely out play me after a good smoke.

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87
I first met henry at New years jam 2005. I didnt actually kick with him much or talk to him much then. I was really jealous of his skill and style.
Henry and I met again at midwest regionals 2006. This time him and I kicked a lot more and we also talked a lot more. I realized how cool henry was. I again was really jealous of his skill and style.
Henry and I are now "Bagel Brothers" and I would have to say that he is one of the coolest people I have met through footbag. And I cant wait to shred with him again. Im still really jealous of his skill and style.
I first met Zach at Midwesterns 06. He has an awesome pair of Pink Floyd pajama pants. He's really nice, and fun to talk to. He's an awesome shredder, and has some really kick ass shoes. He is one of my favorite footbaggers that I've met! He's super rad!!
ive met holly twice
midwest regionals and and nyj 06
i actually talked to her at nyj 06, and she is a really really nice person
she has soo many interesting things to know about her.. she's really artistic and she loves nintendo and apple
ummmm ... thats all i can think of for now
i met kamil several years ago. He listens to polish rap. I couldn't remember his name for the first year or so so I kept calling him hakeem. I know his name now, and think he's and awesome cat.

I have not met 97% of the people that have posted in this topic. Guess I don't get out much eh? (but i've been playing for a looong time)
Just wanted to say that, don't feel the need to be mentioned.
But I'll stick with topic and write above Dave.
First (and only) time I met him was at Worlds 04, and my impression of him then was that he just wanted to shred with every possible person that he could, because he would just go from circle to circle meeting n greeting n shreddin.
And for some reason merkon stuck as his move, every time I hit it I think of him fondly.
Of course now it's like nemesis, major muthafucking props for owning shit!
Also gonna buy one of his bags at GRASS. I'm already sold from playing with one once.
I have never met James, but his avatar is Gambit from X-men, who is prolly the coolest member of the team. He throws explosive playing cards and he pwns with a big bow (long stick).
I think shredzilla got skipped, but I didn't look too closely. I'm gonna write about him too since I don't really know anything about james. I met Chris Miller at Funtastiks, 06. He was actually the first person that I met there. He was breaking in a purple/other-purple bag that he had made at the time. My first impression was that he was a cool guy. Then he got drunk on the second night of the tourney and my oppinion changed and I thought he was a big fat jerk-face. But by the end of the tourney it changed back somewhat. Chris is alright. ...umm... he knows alot about stitching, and he stitched a reeeeaaly pretty green+white 1up mushroom footbag while we were chillin on the second day. He was just getting over shin splints last time I saw him, and I hope they're all gone now and he can shred as hard as he wants. Chris and Waylon made me laugh in the hotel room at Funtastiks. uhh... Chris had (has?) a sweet pair of twill lavers.
