check the link in the RFA footblog!! mike anello got the TV station that aired this to send him a DVD of the piece, which was super cool of them. Mike's hosted it on rochesterfootbag.com.

it's about 8 minutes long, and although footbag was just a fraction of what was going on at the Juggle-In, the focused on it about as much as all the other disciplines of juggling combined! LOTS of cleaver interview footage, some great will digges clips. Lovin' it. Good interview with former RFA superstar Steve Gale.

check it!

Let us not compare Dave Clavens and Wes Peden, they are both amazing at their respective and very different disciplines.

I'm very proud that RIT has represented both juggling and footbag for what they are and not what the general public often perceives them to be.

Thanks a bunch mike for contacting sports zone and for posting this, I hope everyone checks it out.

I never said one is better than the other, dave is just cooler.

(still recovering from that juggling show he did at cornell that one night)

Hey there was also that juggling girl we know from Toronto.
Cool

I really like how for juggling there were like super young kids, and super old guys... something that footbag will never really be able to compete with. Does juggling have such a close community, though?

Don't worry Erik. When I'm 60 I'll still be guiltless.
