The Hit Heard Around the World

Post by professor »

This is not necessarily "footbag" related, but it does include only footbaggers and it was at the US Open, so I think it deserves to be in here.

This is the one and only exclusive video of Boone Penske tackling Kyle Hewitt from > 6 feet away, off a stage in the park.

The story goes: Kyle was heckling Aaron Orton while he was shredding. The 3 who were in the circle (Aaron, Dylan, and Boone) started talking about how people who talk crap deserve to get tackled. Kyle began talking with a few people and was not paying attention to what they were talking about. This is where the video begins. You can see the results.

Disclaimer: Kyle was not seriously injured in this event and in fact he played well in the competition afterwards. Kyle was not too happy at first, but now there are no hard feelings between Boone and Kyle.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

Yeah, that's what we need. More violence in footbag!

:P

That was a pretty damn hard hit, like Penske was off the ground with some hang time in that.

I saw this on youtube before you posted here. Man. That's a huge hit. There has to be something else that'd make Kyle not upset anymore but whatever. That's good. But my god. That was massive.

I %@$ myself when they showed me that. Boone Penske is the man, and Kyle Hewitt can really take a hit. Props to both. Classic vid from the 2008 Open!

Wow. I guess the heckling must have been extreme, b/c although a cool looking tackle, looks like a dick move to me (again, unless the heckling was really serious and shitty). I think I would have attempted to pop right back up and drop whoever tackled me like that (I say attempted because that might make you foggy for a bit). I'm just saying.

You can literally smell the testosterone from Orton and Penske in that vid. I think all the women (and Kyle) peed a little bit as well.
