Gallery Status
I recently upgraded the software of the Gallery, and unfortunately it broke its bridge to the rest of the site. I've reset it so you can navigate through the Gallery again, but it's bare-bones until I find a solution. All albums and download links should work.Just please treat it as READ-ONLY. That means DO NOT LOGIN/OUT from within the gallery, DO NOT POST COMMENTS in the gallery, and DO NOT ADD MEDIA. Thank you. The rest of the website is fully functional.

So i tried to give a complete structure to the “sick” competition format. Overview: Players have a few tries to land their best tricks. Judges score difficulty,variety and execution of the landed attempt. The best score wins.

Flipsider Goes Autostretch!
(images/stories/news/autostretch-full.jpg) Hooray! I finally had time to redesign and recut the template to make the pages autostretch! In other words, the page is now scalable, instead of fixed. While this may not be a big deal to most of you, it makes the site neater/friendlier to peruse and more flexible for any given content. Think of it like getting a bigger screen TV.I'm also trying to find other ways to improve the site. I made room at the top for some extra content, not sure what yet, but maybe a login field on the right side and a kind of this is what footbag is all about introduction on the left. I also decided to make the forum publically viewable. I still refuse to have this turn into another modified, but I would like to encourage more feedback on the site, so I can make it better. Thanks for reading. Please post your comments.
