keep an eye out for this clip of Nathan in one of this month's videos!
Day 1 is footage from USO. Pete and the Boston crew did a stellar job hosting the event in August. As you can see in the video, there was an excellent turnout with plenty of chances for high quality shred in notable locations such as Revere Beach and the Boston Common.

Competition highlights from the East Coast Footbag Championships in New York, September 2019. This video is exclusively from competitions: freestyle circle prelims/semis and footbag net mixed doubles and the men's doubles final. I filmed most of the tournament but had some help from Nathan, Josh and Nori so thanks guys!

Jim, Lon, Bob and Red are the Boise Footbag Crew. And they've been shredding since 1984 (apparently).
Huge thanks to special guest Ken Somolinos for sending me the video of this session!

Josh Gayhart delivers a cozy seasonal piece, hitting big tricks and combos with his trademark smoothness. First calendar video to be uploaded in 4K as well!

I haven't had a chance to see too many of the videos yet but looking forward to getting into some of them soon. Some great variety in those links, though a lot of them are out of my league!
Check out the dynamic trio of Kat Cryan, Ken Somolinos and Greg Wenner with a sunny outdoor session from last year. Lots of interested people stopped to watch too, way to promote the sport guys! Edit by Ryan Morris.

Thanks for posting all the videos here. Not only is it more convenient than having to hunt through Facebook, it also has the benefit of creating a record of this year's Joulu that will last. That's probably still the strongest argument for Modified over Facebook. Every post/video/poll/idea on the Facebook freestyle group disappears after a few months, while Modified is for-evahhh!
I would also like to thank you for putting these here. It makes it so easy to find all of them, especially for those of us who are not on social media sites like Facebook.

Facebook is a billboard but Modified is a time capsule!
One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to embed the youtube links in posts with clickable thumbnails - any idea what I'm missing?
I met Mathieu Gauthier at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal for an epic shred session! Thanks to Mat for filming. We also shared the lobby with some other jugglers that you can spot in the background!

Week 2 of the Joulukalenteri -Day 8 - begins with Pawel Nowak (@footbag91) who presents us with an expertly edited video of the 19th Polish Footbag championships! Featuring competition highlights from freestyle and net, it's clear that Poland is home to top level players in both Footbag sports. Awesome work Pawel!

I haven't had a chance to shred since the Joulu started, but I've been making mental notes of the LOTDs. They look like fun links, with just the right amount of challenge to them. I'll make a point to try some out the next time I play and post them.
Joulukalenteri Day 10 is the yearly video from Dan Boyle and it's always a pleasure to see what he comes up with! This year features beautiful Australian landscapes as well as the legendary Phil "Red Rocket" Morrison from New Zealand.

Joulukalenteri Day 11 features incredible footage from the 2019 World Footbag Championships in Poland. Freestyle footbag players battled freestyle football players in an old train station retrofitted as a public market known as "Hala Gwardii". Outstanding film and edit brought to us by Ivan Iakimenko.

Are you talking about making a post like this:
If so, that's just pasting the YT link in a post, then highlighting it, then clicking the "youtube" button immediately above right of the post. Or you can manually do it in this format: [youtube]youtube url[/youtube]
You can also quote this post to see how the embed is done.
Feel free to disregard this if this is not what you meant.
Ah - the problem is that unlisted youtube videos won't generate thumbnails! So there is a good reason for everyone to make their videos public once they are released on the calendar. Thanks guys!
Joulukalenteri Day 12 - Escape from New York: Boatz-Lapse Edition. Boatz visited Boise after USO in August and created a mural in his trademark style for Bob Green (who filmed the process and gave us this incredible edit!). Enjoy the first shred sessions held in the presence of the Space Demon, featuring 10 different players!
