Best bag- A broken in one, I have friends who have lots of broken in bags so I dont need any.

Player I wish I could play with- Mike Marshall The heart of freestyle began there.

Achievement- I still have time


Fave vid- raw shred

trick name- thanks to kens reminding, gay vagrant LOL

hard flip changes over time- maybe pdx atom, or pixie ducking butter, at least ive hit em both on both sides?

the hardest move I can do is the same for 6 or 7 years, fairy opp torque. but I still hit it every session I try LOL/.
dexless= I dont try, maybe spin duck frigidosis/

Cities- Id like to visit Aus or NZ because Ive never been there. Plus great fishing

Best tourney - worlds 2002, lots of fun and I got to see the city unlike 2000. Montreal was also kickass.

Best friend- lots of friends at different tourneys wherever I go. Thats one of the best parts of travelling to a tourney is that it puts you a little outside your comfort zone. Ive made friends at every tourney I ever went to
Footbag goal- Try and not make enemies??? Lmao If you only knew how tough it was to be a footbagger in chicago.
I really just hope to not get injured and to have lots of fun when I do play
