Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 19 Oct 2009 12:18

Hello Footbaggers,

Something very significant is about to happen in our sport.

In January 2010, all the big players in the circus and entertainment industry will finally experience freestyle footbag. Thousands of spectators, as well as millions of TV viewers in Europe and the rest of the World will witness freestyle footbag for the first time.

I am thrilled to announce that I have been accepted to participate in the

Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain
(The "Worldwide Festival of the Circus of Tomorrow") in
Paris, France from
January 28th-31st, 2010.

Cirque de Demain is

- an annual festival, celebrating innovation and excellence in circus arts
- a competition (with Gold/Silver/Bronze medals and other awards)
- located under the largest big top in the world
- a gateway for new and emerging young artists to find work
- a popular televised event as well as a tourist attraction in Paris
- a collection of 24 acts (12 acts X 2 shows) of various circus disciplines
- a place for scouts/directors/agents to discover and hire new talents

That's awesome, Jorden.

Good luck.

At least you don't have to rely on footbaggers voting like you did on Famecast.

Good job Jorden. Focus on the footbag and use the juggling as transitions. They already have enough jugglers but you can wow the audience witha good footbag performance.

this could be interesting, i can see new moves that are insane being added to the mix to the already present insane moves.

Thank you Mr. Moir!

Progressing our sport and getting it more widely accepted (or at least viewed so people can decide to accept it or not) is always something we need more of.

You're the man

Mr. Moir,
Thank you for all of your excellence in your shred, videos, performances, inventions, instructional videos, creativity, and vision in footbag. I wish you all the success you deserve.

This is a huge opportunity, and judging by the Zacada video you've uploaded, you've got what it takes to make it work. I'll be crossing my fingers that the big shots and spectators at the event will see it my way.

[edit] ooh they wrote footbag on the main website! http://www.cirquededemain.com/web/index ... s&Itemid=2 [/edit]

Why this sounds like a big deal. What would be the easiest way to watch the acts say online or on tv?

this really is fantastic, are you going to bust out any rediculus tricks?... i do truely understand that you don't just go up and hit really hard tricks for show and that you do tricks that are appeasing, but i think that some people who understand, say, freestyle football would be amazed and intrigued.... well truely i am just curious.
