Erica: It was awesome to finally meet you too! Keep up the stitching. You've got a NATURAL GIFT. I'd love to kick with you again sometime soon. You're a really cool girl and I hope to get you out to some more jams this summer. Glad you had fun! We'll be in touch.

sick jam! i hope everyone had as much fun as i did. my anticipation for the tournament was half dreadful (bad weather conditions), half optomistic (seeing old and new people). it turned out to be fully radical. Saturday was freaking great in the rain location. Sunday was even better. Josh Gayhart is the man. him and his cousin were probably the highlight of the weekend with all of the hooters excursions and beavis and butthead side talk. it was great to see matt cross killing it! holly bananas matt. sick meeting those ohio dudes and big ups to everyone that came.

Sunday was even better. Sticks on the ground will live with me forever. watch out for a video. facebook!

i know it was a good weekend when i cant even walk from playing so much footbag

You really hooked it up Nick, for a first time organizer you really did it up right and your game is really coming along. Keep pushing yourself, you have a very high ceiling. It was super fun chilling with everyone, sadly i kicked with no one.

I just got one last thing to tell y'all, STICKS ON DA GROUND

I had a great time. Thanks to Nick for making it happen, and to all the players. It was lots of fun keeping the bag off the ground with you guys.

Special thanks to everyone who bought a bag or placed an order!

speaking of which, Bruce Dole lost a large, faded orange and fuchsia footbag with a spiral pattern. If it got mixed up in your collection, please shoot me a PM.
BRICK!

Kevin: Wish you could have come with Doug to this one dude. I'll be watching out for the dates of Boston Jam. I'd really like to hit that up.

Dave: Yo man, your style has been going crazy with madd improvements since Funtastiks. Thanks for coming out and I'm glad your half dreadful/half optimistic thoughts were comforted by total radness! Keep dem sticks on da ground. Haha can't wait for that video.

Josh: Dude, thanks a bunch for traveling down here with your cousin, Jeff. You guys were such awesome guests. I will never forgot when i walked in my livingroom at 3 am only to see you and Jeff curled up next to each other listening to hardcore music haha good times. I'll get that shirt out to you asap.

Drew: Yo MC StiXXX OTG! Great having you down. Sorry you couldn't play too much due to the injury :\ Thanks for the encouraging words on my game. That shit means so much to me and it's just little quotes like that, that I think about when I'm drilling that drive me harder. Great job MC'ing on Sunday. Stoked for your new record to be released. I just can't get enough of your old one, "Stickin' It To Da Man" Shit is fresh, yo!

Ryan: Hey man, I had a feeling those sweatpants were your's :P Glad you were able to come this weekend. You really surprised me with your improvements since last time we played. Keep working that shit both sides. I can't wait until you realize how lucky you are to have the crank you have. Oh and Tim Harper got an RV today and was asking for the spot that our's are located... How sick would that be to get together with Tim and Josh on weekends this summer and shred at Ferry Boat Campgrounds!?

Matt: Hey man, thanks for showing up. Great to see you and kick with you again. I'm gonna take some trips to NYFA this summer to shred with you guys, no doubt. I love my new "Rod Laver footbag carrier". I just can't let anyone who doesn't footbag see it... because I think it's a purse... But I could really care less, because it's frickin awesome. Also, thanks for offering up those prize bags and thanks a TON for staying late to help us clean up the apartment. That was really nice of you guys. So close to Mobius> Mobius man! I could have sworn you had it. Also, thanks for demonstrating Swirling near mirage so I could see what a good one looked like. I'm so pumped I hit it! I'll be working the swirling sets on both sides in the near future.

Ben: Yo man, you were awesome! It was so cool to finally meet you. Your style RIPS.... HARD. Your nukes and stepping ducking really inspired me. In fact, I hit a handful of new flipside stepping ducking tricks tonight. I studied how you did them and I kind of picked up on it. It was great being your beer pong partner, we kicked ass... kinda haha Well, at least we sunk some sweet shots. You blew my mind when you were hitting those crazy tricks with athletic pants on in that circle with Matt and I. Purple is the best color out there. I plan on coming to kick with NYFA this summer at least a couple times. Tell Ricky I said thanks for coming along on the trip. She seemed really nice. Can't wait for the music video of StiXXX on the Ground!

Also, thank you to everyone who bought a shirt from me. I'm glad you guys liked the design.

Fuckin awesome job Nick! I had so much fun! Thanks for being such an amazing host and putting up with so many smelly footbaggers. I'll be sure to return if you ever hold another jam, or just to kick it for a weekend.

Doug: Thanks for the awesome words! It was great getting to know you better, shooting the shit with you and kicking with you. Thanks for making such a long journey to get here. And thanks a bunch for bringing that hookah tobacco! As for another trip to PA... I might consider kicking with you again in the future... maybe ;) Hope to see you again at Boston Jam, whenever the phuck that may be. Keep kicking man. Mob> Mob is yours soon.

Nick, I'm glad to hear that it went so well. Footbag needs more people like you who are willing to work hard to promote an event and get people excited about the sport (Especially here on the East Coast). Your passion for footbag comes through loud and clear.

Wow, thanks for that man. That was nice to read. I really do have madd passion for this sport. I want to do all that I can to revive the scene. I'm kinda like that with everything I get into. I used to be obsessed with Ska music and I was all about trying to revive the scene, and I did do it to some degree. Got a good handful of people into it and brought them to their first Ska shows. It was really awesome. But yeah, thanks a lot dude. that was nice of you to write.

PS. I'm trying to throw another jam at my campgrounds in Harrisburg in the summer sometime. I haven't worked anything out yet, but I'm going to be talking to the owner once the camp opens for the year. You'll all hopefully be hearing about it sometime in the future.

Dude, I cleaned out my Slackline bag today, and I found that bag. The only reason I can think of why it was in there was because I had the bag laying on the Picnic table. What's your address, I can mail it to you.
