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 "Footy Buddy" PDF Print E-mail

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.

Tricks Timeline PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 05 March 2006 - Written by Eliot Piltz
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.
