The battle for best footbag short film is here again. Footbag video makers have three months to plan, shoot and edit their masterpieces for this year's contest. The challenge was a hit at 2005 Worlds and this year the show is expected to be even more spectacular, presented by planetfootbag and BOTS filming crew.

I'm happy to announce the addition of the Foundation and Advanced move albums to the Gallery. It's still a fairly limited release, 16 moves and 30 videos, but it's a good start. Demos by Chad, Jorden and myself. If you are really good at any of these moves, please add your tricks tips!

 Kellogg's footbag promotion Check out the new footbag promotion by Kellogg's, giving away a "footy buddy" inside each box of Frosted Flakes, distributed internationally. They hired 5-time freestyle world champion Peter Irish to represent their promotion, featured in a video on their website, frostedflakes.com.
They also produced a pretty amazing commercial, shot presumably in Brazil, aimed at the millions of kids who play soccer, encouraging them to pick up a "footy buddy" (footbag) to hone their soccer skills. You can find both videos in our On Air gallery. 7 Comments |

So you all know what to expect in the coming year, I want to give a timeline for the Tricks section.
Originally I intended on launching the new site with trick demos by *several* players: me, Chad D., Jorden Moir, Peter Irish, Yacine Merzouk, Gordon Bevier and Sebastien Duchesne, plus a few cameos. Not only do I have the footage for all these players, it's already digitized and ready to cut for the Tricks section.
The only problem is I am far too busy to do all that, and I've already poured every ounce of my free time into this beast. So it's going to take a little while; bear with me. Naturally I had to get some tricks done to launch the site, so I did all mine and all of Chad's tricks to begin with, which totals 126 videos, a pretty fair start.
In the coming year I hope to get the rest online, probably starting with Jorden's moves, since he's so creative, and he worked so hard to get me the media. I may decide to make all Jorden's moves in Windows Media (wmv) format, by the way, but no guarantees.
That's about all I have to say at the moment. Feel free to ask any questions in your comments.
As always, thanks for the support.
