How to make 300 children scream for footbag

Post by Fkystyl »

I did a show last tuesday with Nico who is more a kicker than a freestyler.

We were in a pretty hot suburb of a big city, famous in France for its big rate of people being less than 25, its dole rate and its riots sometimes.

The public was a bit wilde but cool, about 300 children and teenagers. It is usually hard to get their respect and attention during this kind of ceremony but they really respected the footbag show and liked it.

the good news is that many school directors were here and whish to encourage kickers in schools of the city.

As far as I am concerned, it is so cool to feel that footbag can make these kids become really mad just as much as break dance and hip hop do.

I liked how you tailored footbag for an audience, instead of just going up there and stringing things together. Looks like it went really well :)

Big props to your intuitively crowd pleasing style, Franck! Legovering outside to sole stall to osis was my favorite link. Thanks for the vid.
My favorite trick is knowing when to pass.

what a cool show! you get all my respect for doing this.

one thing i wonder is, if the room is low gravity? the bag is going SO slow, or is it your smooth style that makes it look alike? and did you prepaparate the bag in someway to make it glow, or was is just yellow?

Thank you Benjamin

is the room low gravity? Maybe, though it was not in the mountains :)

i washed my bag (white and red) just the night before and the light was really good actually

i tried once to put some fluorescent painting on the bag for a show in a night club, but when getting dry, the painting made the bag so hard that it was just impossible to play. So never try that...
