SJFF is one of the biggest (and best :wink: ) tourneys in the US. Everyone is there plus some more. The juggling is top notch, so it's worth it if your into juggling.

The only downside to the tourney is that usually everything is 1000 miles away from each other. Shred site>friday renegade show>hotel>Friday party>Saturday party are usually fairly far away from each other some years. And if you are following Justin, he will leave you in the dust because he drives fucking nuts! :lol:

I payed about 1000$ for one weekend at sjff 2 years ago, and I did not regret it.

It's great.

Everyone in North America should be at this event. In my 20+ years of attending footbag related events, this ranks up at the top of my all time list. Brothers FDM are throwing not only one of the best American footbag tournaments, but one of the premier events for the new performing arts. With the public show, renegade, workshops and particularly the variety arts forum, this is the real deal. See you there.

This will be the fourth sjff i've attended and each year it gets better and better. makes me regret missing the first few. You will have a blast and all the shredders are not only great people, but are very useful in handing out advice on your game.

It sounds so cool. Cale you should totally go, and let me ride in the trunk or something. My dad is almost cool with going, but he needs a reason besides the meeting of new people and the valuable experience of shredding with players better then you. Plus i have no idea how much money i would have to bring. That would include money for food, souvenirs, and possibly hotel, i don't honestly know. I just hope i can make it. Some way, some how, I'll be there. Cale better be there to.

If you can go, go. If you can't go, go anyways. It's that simple.

One of the best times I've had in my lifetime and I'm not just talking about footbag.
