Crowdfunding campaign for the filming of the World Footbag Championships

Hello,

I will be in Slovakia as a competitor from July 31st to August 6th 2016 for the World Footbag Championships but also as a filmmaker to bring you the videos of all the net finals and the finals of at least the routines in footbag freestyle. I hope that you can lend a hand in offsetting the high costs of this trip from Montreal to Trnava, Slovakia.

You can contribute by clicking here. 
You can see all my videos in my Vimeo Pro page

For those of you who can't get enough of footbag videos there's a way to contribute to the future of this site and the production of the videos. A lifetime membership gets you access to all that has already been produced and everything that will come in the future. So far this is what has been published as far as paid content

This includes all the net finals from the last 6 World Footbag Championships, the Montreal annual tournament, The Akisphere doubles finals from 2009 to 2016 and much more historical moments to come as I started to film in 1989. 

As far as Freestyle goes the routines finals is what I focus on and up to now the 2014 and 2015 World Footbag Championships are available but I have all the finals (routines) since 2003 + 1996, 1998 and 2001 in the works.

The 2010 Akisphere footbag net doubles videos are online

The 2010 Akisphère was a great tournament, the weather was good on finals day which is a requirement for a successful outdoors tournament and the level was high. Watch François Depatie-Pelletier and Gilles Demers take care of the opposition in the doubles finals match. This was their final preparation for the 2010 World Footbag Championships in which the made the finals. Although they lost that match it is remembered as one of the best doubles finals ever but without the fierce opponents they had in Montreal, PT Lovern and Manu Bouchard, it would have been more difficult for them to reach for the top.

Here are the best moments of the 2010 Akisphère doubles finals as captured and edited by Yves Archambault

The 2015 Akisphère Montreal Footbag net tournament doubles podium videos are live

The 2015 Akisphère was a survivalist tournament. Only a few locals participated in a tournament that once was one of the best on the Footbag net tour. Nonetheless, with a few former World champions chipin' in, the level of play was decent if not great. Here are links to a couple of videos that will give you an idea of the prowesses that the Montreal players are still able to produce, Let's start with the doubles.

And then the highlights for the doubles 3rd place match can be found on this page as well as the complete results and description of the matches
