Thanks to everyone who helped me get back to my house when I couldn't get in. That was really awesome of you all!

I didn't want to let this post get buried without anyone reading it.

There were a bunch of people that I saw again/met for the first time that I didn't get to say goodbye too.

So goodbye! And thanks for all the fun. Worlds was amazing.

Big thanks to everyone who bought a bag from me at worlds!!!!

Worlds was such a great experience. Tournaments are always great because I meet great amazing friends, but then I hardly ever get to see them. It's always so hard to say goodbye at the end of tournaments and worlds was 10 times harder. The last couple of days I've been really sad because none of you are around. I'd like to say thank you to all of you that I met, or already have met but saw again for making the last week so wonderful. Even the times when I was exhausted, starving, and sore, I was still having fun. There are several people I've met through footbag that are now quite special to me, it's incredible that footbag has the power to bring us all together. I feel so lucky to be able to meet all of you, if it were just about shredding I wouldn't go to a single tournament.

Some random memories of the tournament for me(I'll post more later, I only have a second to post now)

Holly being the first person of worlds I saw.

Late night swim at the Disney hotel and seeing aaron jump into six life jackets from the side of the pool.

Mike Hansen being awesome and volunteering to edit Justin's music.

Planning my first routine ever.

preforming my first routine ever(I missed half my ques, I shoulda practiced more!!).

Chad's party

Being pushed into the pool fully clothed and taking Sunny with me.

Hey all,

We are in transit right now, but wanted to put out a shout to a few people who helped us with this event. Special thanks first to the staff, and especially to Steve Goldberg who stepped in at the last minute to be freestyle director (ie helm the ship). Steve kept everything on track, which made the rest of our jobs easier. Many, many thanks to Chris Ott for pulling it all together, and Ianek for organizing the newer events. Shout out to my man Pete Irish as well for his MC skills in finals. Also want to give big props to my Shred 30 add counting team. It's never easy scoring Shred 30 at big events, Worlds is certainly the most daunting of tasks. Taking time out from all the fun of the event to painstakingly score the players can certainly be taxing, thanks so much again. We will have all the scores of every player posted as soon as possible. You can pm me as well if you have any questions about your individual score, I am more than happy to interact about it.

Also wanted to give the full list of BAP honorable mentions, I don't think it has been posted yet. There were so many great players with top notch skills, It was an honor to watch everyone shred. Honorable mention goes/went to (a few people were accidentally missing from the shout out list at the time of the announcement);

Sam Potter
Evan Gatesman
Dan Ednie
Justin Dale
Oxana Prihotko
Johnny Suderman
Andrew Grant
Takumi Ozawa
Nick Landes
Byrin Wylie
Will Digges

And congratulations again to new BAP inductee Mr. David "the Cleaver" Clavens for all of his hard work and accomplishments at this Worlds. Not only did he execute three dropless routines, but also put down some intense shred while injured. Heal up well brotha, you earned it.

Finally, a shout out to all the players who made their way to the event, thanks for the support. Congrats to Jim Penske, 2007 has thus far been his finest year, he has stepped it up as a player and performer. Also, great stuff again from Vaska, who continues to perform with grace and amazing ability. I am very happy that next Worlds will be in Prague, I have no doubts Honza, Dexter, and crew will throw a great event! Thanks again to everyone involved in this event!

I really hope to go to worlds sometime in the future. Probably not Prague, though.
