This is a good example of a player that needs to be reached out to.

The video actually reminds me of one I did in high school with some friends. I did Atws in it and lots of stalls, but had no idea there was a footbag community. In fact, one player that we all know, who I have now met in person, looked at the video and kinda poked fun at it. If this person would have opened up and told me about freestyle and the community, I would have been playing this sport a year earlier.

Every time I see something like this, I immediately try to contact the person and give them the resources to join us online.

That's what I'm trying to do with Cayne Bright. Really useful that they give his name at the end. Others should try to help me find him and post if/when they reach him.

EDIT!

Did some research that started with his name, then "Clarkston".. found out Clarkston Highschool is the only high school named "Clarkston" in the US, and that happens to be located in MICHIGAN!!! (Bang).. I did a bit of Googlemaps research and saw that it's 50 minutes from Ann Arbor, MI… remembered that Anton lives in Ann Arbor (Bang bang)… called Anton up, found out that his parents live in Clarkston (bang bang.. bang). Looked at the video date… 4 days ago. The kid definitely still plays. Anton and I are going to try to contact him.

Thanks for posting this video, Paul.

This is precisely the reason I posted this video, in hopes that someone would recognize the area and try to contact this guy... STOKED!!!!!! BANG BANG BANG BANG!

What if I changed this thread to something like "outreach to potential freestylers" and post videos of people we see in hopes we can find them and contact them...

Here is one I just saw:

EDIT: Nick actually started a thread just like this just a few minutes before I did(YouTube hacky sackers), so MODS, can you merge these or whatever you find appropriate please?

I've been in contact with Canye a little bit, hopefully he will want to meet up and learn some more freestyle. Also, ive contacted a bunch of others, including this guy from freaky footbaggers who definetly has potential, check out his new vids which was a request of mine:
