A couple of things.

Eric Wulf has retired - I'm sure he's still skilled enough to be in the top 100 (especially if I'm there :oops: ) but if he doesn't play I don't see how you can put him there.

I have seen a bit of footage of those Fins (Felix, Jere V and Mika) - but not of the quality that would say I'd put them in the top 10 in the world. Maybe Felix, infact I debated that for a while but decided against it because the only shred footage I've seen of him was from Buda's Best.

Some more names:

Dan Ednie, Jere Linnenen (spelling sorry), Samual Hufshmid (sp), Alex Zerbe, Noah (from the Fourkast trailer), Rob Fuller, Chris Holden, Carol Wydemer, Jane Zerbe, Caro Bourgoin. Verena Leneis, Isabelle Widmer, Lise Thygesen, Hania Mickiewicz, Nadine Beyeler, Mathias Lino Schmitt, Max Boucorin (sorry - butched your last name...), Max Kerkhoff

I'm not sure about all those names, but if we're only at 41 some of them are definitly in (especially if I am...)

Kyle Zender, for sure ('Z' on the forum). His name just goes along with Chris Holden's. They're practically the same person.

I would help to clarify top 100 of all time or top 100 still active players.

If you go with with an all time list then you have to judge on more of an evolution of footbag scale and how each person played for their time. So you would have to include people like Jack Schoolcraft, Bruce Guettich, and Alan Petersen. A currently active list would be based much more on skill level with respect to present day freestyle.

Jason Crook is amazing, i hope hes coming to worlds, hes one of the shredders ive been waiting to kick with for a long time.

Id like to add Tuukka 'TKO' Antikaainen (Proabbly bad spelling on last name sorry tuukka), hes really good. Not many people can hit backside symposium fog first try with a weak ankle.
