Just realized I forgot Ian Brill.. Ian, if you're reading this it's a sign you need to play with us more!

If we're counting dedicated tiltless players, PSU has three more. Ivan Iakimenko, George Hayward, Ryan Morris -- they were all at East Coasts last year

Also, I'm definitely calling boston the boson crew from here on out 8)

Bob Riefer is still playing strong Guiltless and I get to kick with him when I visit home.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about Riefer, since he doesn't post on the forums, or post video, or attend tournaments anymore. I also left off Reilley Adamson and Dan Reed from my list, since they aren't quite at the guiltless level, but I understand that they play regularly with Justin Dale, and they attended USO last year.

Yeah, Bob just plays for fun and for exercise after his long work days. He's definitely still shredding and improving. He just doesn't go on the forum or post videos. He attended PA Jam last year though.

Nick Pasquarello & Mike Angeski (both OH) are both so close to going full Guiltless and they both play quite a bit.

Ad we can't forget about Josh Gayhart, and Dan Greer (both PA) They were both at East Coasts.

Edit: What about Waylon?

I would say Dan Reed has turned that corner in the last six or seven months. He plays with ("dominates" might be more accurate) us every week and solo sessions. If anyone else here in Seattle should be on that list it's him.

Scott Behmer is regularly playing (knock on wood), and I'd definitely say he's guiltless.

I would also nominate Taylor Hamilton in Alaska. He practically teleconferences with us when our Seattle club kicks. He also hits some really cool stuff.

Finally, there is another player named Trevor Kokenge here in Seattle who plays as much as I do (two or more times a week at a tiltless-ish level), but I don't know if he's going to start going to events or posting here. Right now that's all I have over him.

Wow. Thanks everyone. I think it's over 70 now which is awesome. But I can't help but notice there isn't even one confirmed active female player.(TayChaint, Cassy, Caro, Holly?)

I just got back from Seattle and looked through all of this really quick, so I may have missed some that you guys mentioned. Also when I have time maybe I'll organize them by state or elementary particle.

I was kind semi active in vancouver, but recently the rain is really gay. I have tried to wait for a bus in the rain for 20 mins just to get to a shelter place to practice, but now I can't really keep it up. When the rain season is gone, I think ill be more active agian =\ Damn Raincouver

As for female players.. I don't think Cassy is active anymore. I kicked with her when I was in Canada for an internship last summer, and she said she doesn't normally play anymore. Shame. She has a lot of potential. I also played with Nathan D in Canada when I kicked with Cassy and I do believe he still plays regularly. He also produced a new video not too long ago.

Also on the topic of female footbag players, My girlfriend recently got into footbag and SHE has been asking ME to play and teach her stuff. It's a good sign that she actually wants to play, rather than me making her play lol But she's got really insane crank and she's been learning quickly. Not tiltless yet, but I'm going to be teaching her every week from now on and judging by her improvements already, I think she's going to get good. Plus she has fun with it and that's what you need to get good at footbag :)

Also, what about Sunny and Daryl? Anyone know anything on their kicking status?

Cool thread, I'm still playing but took a few weeks off recently because of school. Just started playing again today, going to continue as it gets warmer outside. Waiting for a successor here at Queen's University (first Tom Mosher, then me... who's next?!)

I play 4-5 times a week. Getting better slowly. I'm probably the oldest active footbagger you'll come across, but I'm game.

I still play regularly, I still attend tournaments (when I can, family life is hard to work around), and I still lurk these forums.

Been in the sport too long to ever abandon it.
