What are the other hobbies that made him lose interest in footbag?

According to el Googledor, making furniture. Also it would appear he has undergone a name change.

I heard he is now living in Estonia or something like that.
He is married to a danish girl. He also DJs.
But I don't think other interests replaced footbag, I just think he lost interest.

Are you sure it's the same person? On his website he says he played soccer and skateboarded in his youth. He doesn't mention that he was footbag world champion multiple times!

it's definitely him - people won't find amateur internet videos of him skateboarding and playing baseball, but if they search for him and footbag, it will attach a whole different identity to his professional self that he probably wants to avoid, for simplicity and marketing's sake.

Felix is kind of the same way about his music career. he doesn't really mention the footbag stuff in his music pages and posts.
BRICK!

I thought that if he is going to mention skateboarding and soccer then it would be logical to also mention footbag. And Felix's site has this line "Felix also likes to kick some hacky sack (footbag freestyle)..." :P

I noticed that Mulroney was listed at Green Cup 2009. It's great if he's playing again.

Making furniture is cool though. I love industrial design.

He has some pretty neat furniture, I like the tables and many of the things in miscellaneous category, particularly the IV garden and Le Cardbordsier

I was pretty sure he was from the west coast. I saw an older video of him shredding in an Orioles t-shirt. I'm from Baltimore and we don't see too many people wearing Oriole gear outside of the city. I was just curious. Thanks for the info.

ryan donahoe is unfortunately who you're talking about. he did get married and is currently residing somewhere in LA, CA continuing his furniture company. he really is quite the carpenter... who would know he revolutionized an entire athletic sport, lol
