Aric - Awesome. Will be good to hnag out this weekend.

Everyone...Sorry for the late notice on the latest information. That was on me.

Vince has been workin his ass off as usual to get this thing together. We've been working on 2 shirt designs, one ready to go and one ready for NYC if not sooner. Nets are being counted, new shipments arive each day from our kick ass sponsors!!! Freestyle bags, net bags, , shirts, dvds!, free bagels both mornings~!!....those did not arrive

The famous Bagel Place has donated their day olds for Sat and Sun.

Thanks in advance to all the sponsors who so graciously shipped our prizes with patience! Flying Clipper, Kolo, Bruce Dole, Freedom!-hania, infinity, fearless 55, footfighter,, Hard TImes too where we will party down like old times

Thanks to the ifpa!

Last weekend in NYC there was a kickass meeting of awesome people, spreading tons of footbag feelings to thousands on Roosevelt Island. A sport and helth day where all these sports setup and do demos to kids and adults. We did a freestyle show during the basketball game! Drew and I started out, a couple rounds goes by and the mc says " here come some challengers!! Who wants to challenge the pros?!?!" I look over and its vince, wearin classic fugly nike ndestrukts! They are basically a boot. So he's bustin long tiltless strings in these.

The net courts was in use the ENTIRE DAY. So many kids wanting to try. Along side the net court there were 3 or 4 neverending hack circles. By the end of the day you had all these little friends following you...looking up to you. Wanting to learn this sport. BC they were there all day, the family would come and they could safely leave their kids at any of these sport stations. Lots of consecutive contests for the kids, winners of freestyle and net skills would get prize bags or a shirt.

There was a group of teenagers from Montreal, on vacation, asked to play some net and right away were completely into into it, using their head, chest, knees, hands, everything to keep it going. Really good energy on the court. They were having fun keepin it going.

Also, the FREE SMOOTHIE line was next to the footbag station!!! Perfect spot, if you can imagine on a hot day...a free smoothie...theres always people in line.

Also, come to New York on Mem Day weekend. The sight is amazing, it is on this same ISLAND, standing on the netcourts you are dwarfed by a giganto cartoonishly large bridge. The river. It's awesome.

EAST COAST FOOTBAG IS GOING DOWN THIS WHOLE MONTH EVERY WEEKEND THERE IS AN EVENT _

Congress of Jugglers
NYC Demo
ECFC
NYC MEM DAY

Depending on our turnout we'll come up with a fitting gameplan for freestyle and net structures. Pre Register now and get some good experience for Worlds!! Onsite registration shouldn't be held, but will be held Friday night at the site. Friday night we will have our "teen night" again which we hold for the community center and was a good success last year. Come hang out that night for some shred/ working with the kids. I'm bringing this kids net I have for tennis - little net for little people. Also, we could register at the house if you are staying there.
