Happy Holidays Everyone! The audio track on this video is a radio segment produced by Lauren Sanguinet, a Mizzou J-School student, for KBIA News. I added the video. Thanks Lauren!
It’s wintertime in Columbia MO US. I’m kicking indoors, in my Secret Hideout. That means no video of my sessions for now. But I’ll still keep you up to date. I’ve put in 3 sessions at the hideout since my last post.
Dec. 2: OH GOD MY BACK! I worked late, then hopped on my bike to ride home and get my footbag stuff. When I got home, and got off my bike, my back was suddenly killing me! No fair!
But I hadn’t gotten an opportunity to kick since I caught wind of the Shred Global BSOS competition, and I was determined to get something on tape for it. So, in more pain than I’ve been in for months, I spent a half hour – my first winter season’s use of the Secret Hideout – filming for my BSOS combo. I also couldn’t resist a little more promotion of MOvember: a dorky guy-centric corollary to the PINK campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer. MOvember is intended to raise awareness of cancers (prostate, testicular) affecting men.
Unfortunately, Shred Global doesn’t give a shit that I have such limited kicking opportunities. I missed the submission deadline. So I posted my combo directly on YouTube instead. The official competition results have now been announced and posted. I figure my combo would have taken next to last place anyway; my combo was a common 4-3-4 (difficulty rating) set. The winning combo had more than twice the difficulty rating.
Dec. 9: My back is feeling better, but still a little tender. My camera has run out of tape, but I’m able to capture video directly to my computer in the secret hideout. I try to limit tape usage to 10-15 mins per session, but direct to hard drive really lowers the barrier. No time wasted on ingest, no cost for tape. I was trying to hit something for Shred Global’s 2nd competition: LUNS for Link of Unusuals. I captured over an hour of video during my 1.5 hour session, but… couldn’t hit shit. DELETE! that session is wiped from my hard drive. No tape wasted.
Dec. 16: For over 2 months now, I’ve woken up every Thursday – my one opportunity per week to play footbag – with sciatica. Back pains that radiate down my leg, causing phantom knee, ankle, and foot pain. It’s starting to piss me off. Why can’t I feel good on a footbag day? If God is trying to tell me something, I’m decidedly not taking the hint. Down in the Secret Hideout, I set up the camera and computer once again, and went at it. Another 1.5
hour session, and this time I hit a couple LUNS combos for the competition. They’re still lame; what I’ve got will probably win me next to last place. But at least I’ll have it submitted before the deadline, and actually be in the competition. Other highlights of the session were easy (for a change) drifters and blenders.
It is so near the end of the year! I think I have 1, maybe 2 more footbag sessions left. With the 3.5 hours during the last 3 sessions, my total for the year is 68.5 hours. Just one more hour-and-a-half session, and I’ll hit 70 hours for the year! I think I can do it, and that’s freaking awesome, for me.
Thanks for tuning in!
For anyone not knowing, David Clavens has had one of the most remarkable years in recent freestyle footbag history, taking on all comers and winning with amazing class, style, and skill.
Check him out and see why he is one of the few people around who can mesmerize crowds with his awesome shred.

With money on the line, and first place in the Shred Global Season standings, 22 freestylers took to the challenge of having the best 3 trick combo, with the first and third trick being the same trick started on different feet. This video, shot in order from lowest point score to highest point score, shows how the competition panned out.
Enjoy! (And please leave comments on the youtube video as well as this page to show your support for events like this!!!!)
Coming out of Poland is one of the best pure shred videos I have seen this year. If you dig big shred, this is a must see video. check out the guys from Poland (www.footbag.com.pl) as you get introduced to some of the biggest names in Europe. Easily one of the most impressive videos put together in a long time.

Hello everyone!
I managed to get this video processed for reproduction finally. This was a contest submission by the NYC crew consisting of the amazing Matt Cross, Will Digges, and Paul Agostinelli. They managed to get on video some of the most unique and incredible freestyle footbag tricks I have ever come across, and it looks like they did it all in one session.
Truly amazing skills, with a innovative shout out to Holly Mathews hidden included!
The boys from Fourkast were badass enough to give us this nice little video of Jay Boychuk in a beautifully synchronized video. Jay is on the front lines of the freetyle moment, blending style with a technical variety that creates a unique artistic flow!
Thanks again Jay (along with Fourkast for producing this!!!)
“Just a light day of shred from Jay Boychuk, in approval of the new Canadian spring weather. If you enjoyed this video, lace up your lavers, grab your 32 and go kick. Comment below on how much fun you had, we at Fourkast would love to read it.”
This video comes from Poland, where this young shredder is tearing up the freestyle scene. Excellent form combined with the good editing in this video needs to be seen by anyone who is a fan of the sport! The Fearless run consists of each trick being worth 5+ adds, which makes a run of this length quite considerable.

Jackknife
Ripped Warrior
Blurrier

Pixie Paradon
Blurry Whirl
