lol didnt realise this thread had been so recently dug up too! i was doing 'research' for a news report i have to write on footbag, and went to .com for a laugh.
I found it alarming and disgusting that that mob of douchebags own not only footbag.com but also footbagging.com and freestylefootbag.com!

So fucking wrong. Its all a dodgy marketing scheme to me...hes cornering the market in dodgy footbag sales. And he claims that the basis of all kicking is Bloughchi. What an egotistical wank! Why cant they accept that Bloughchi is the worst representation of footbag possible? Any n00b with a week's experience can kick better than those people lol

End rant. Just thought the websites thing was interesting.

"However, competition began in the form of the net game, which has a lot of problems, not the least of which is that it does not define the required size of the footbag and so onâ€”there is also the nature of the game itself. It will not and has not been taken seriously by professional athletes, and there is a good reason for that â€“ it is not professional."

"I think that the sport has been very limited because of the lack of style and development, even though it has been no doubt looked at by the upper sports echelon. I believe many see confusion in style, and they also see drugs. Drugs seem to follow the footbag circuit."

My response to, "I still have high hopes for the sport in the future and believe it would have been in the Olympics by now if there had been a basic style taught rather than having a focus on competitive tricks." is... The Olympics IS A COMPETITION!

"And there is a history of other matters that are best left alone for the cohesiveness of the sport, and thatâ€™s the reason you donâ€™t see much in print about it." What the hell does that mean?

"Steve is a devout warrior, a true martial artist."

Check the videos. His son, at age 10, could do right foot inside kicks and left foot outsides kicks. In the same video he is shown kicking at age 14 while the narrator states that he can now use both sides. After four fricken years, I would hope so!

"May the force be with you!"

Peace.
