You have been on our list to stay at Ben's place - I believe he will be in contact with you in order to get your vehicle information so that you may park at his apartment complex over the weekend.

Well, I think I need to thank some people here who helped make this possible.

Huge thanks to everyone in the psu crew who helped out from the beginning stages to the final clean up - if I talked to you in the months leading up to this event, chances are you helped me without even realizing it.

Thanks for everyone who housed people. Ben, April, Ryan, Marc, Greg, George, and Jeff for offering overflow space. It wouldn't have been possible to have this thing if you guys hadn't done such a fantastic job. Thank you for you patience when people didn't arrive in the right places at the right times and we had parking issues. Thank you Ryan for handling phone duty on Saturday and anyone else who I borrowed phones from/had helping people get to the right places.

Thank you April for making the prizes - it was great being able to hand out prizes for spots 1-3 in every event and everyone loved them.

Nick, big thanks for all of the HYPE you generated and how much you pushed this event - thanks for laying the foundations that made this a possibility, most people attributed the success of the event to me but in reality it was all thanks to you.

Big thanks to the judges. Cassy, Nick, Drew, Jim for intermediate and Erik, Johnny, and Ianek for Open. I know you guys sacrificed your shred time in order to help run the event. It really opened my eyes to the complexity of the judging process and it was great to have experienced people there to help out.

Thank you to everyone who was patient with me when I didn't get back to them immediately or redirected your questions to other members. If I ignored you this weekend, I was probably really busy or tired (most likely both).

I will be posting videos of the event soon. Some pics are already up on FB. People have done pretty good write ups in their footblogs.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who showed up. We counted at least 40 people kicking at one point on Saturday, and that wasn't counting the friends you guys brought to watch. I like to think that an event isn't defined by its venue or organizers, but by the people who attended, and I couldn't have asked for a better bunch of friends to spend the weekend with! I am already thinking about our next Jamps...

Ivan, we always joke around about how good you are at seemingly everything you do, but I just want to let you know how proud I am of you that you made all of this happen. We are so lucky to have such a great leader after Nate and Nick. Thank you so much for pouring your blood sweat and tears into this event. It is one that I am sure no one will forget.

I kick, therefore I am.

Did ya look at it?

oh man, I've got rid of facebook and apart from the Buck 65 page this group is the thing I miss the most.
I wish me and Marie could have been there, I enjoyed my trip to PSU last year, and to see so many friendly faces, ah gosh...

So hopefully I make it to another footbag gathering, and I'll try to keep my friends in the loop, but you guys look beautiful, keep a smile on that cute face! Take care guys , you rock, can't wait to make it wherever you are!
