French Open report : just a supa-dope footbag comp!

With a nice gym for the day (5 net courts + a shred area) and a cool party-spot 
for the night (a brewery-pub -concert place)?

With Very Special Guests coming from the high spheres of footbag, from Germany 
and from the Czech Republic : Andy, Flo, Henning & Hannes (Frankfurt) for NET; 
Vasek, Ales, Dex & Skaut (Prague) for FREESTYLE.

It was a blast! Too bad more people didn?t travel down to Lyon? We had 40 
competitors, from France, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic + 4 
kickers-spectators from Belgium !!

The SHREDI BATTLE was excellent; definitely a format to look at for the future 
of footbag freestyle ! The 4 Dictators faced a ?Footbag.ch? team, who resisted 
bravely, but the competition was just too harsh?
After the battle, Jan Z proposed that VSK would face the Rest Of The World 
(represented by all the other shredders from both the CZ and the CH crews) : 
Vasek started shredding with one of them, who dropped, was replaced by another 
one, and so on? Guess who was last on stage?
Unanim Works showed a 15 min teaser of their ?SICK 03? video. It?s coming soon 
and will feature their best footage of 2003? if you enjoyed Buda?s Best, watch 
out for this one!
All this while the Sorcerer Corporation DJs played sweet break-beat & funky-
groovy-drum?n?bass?and Les Footbaguignols served delicious local-brewed beer? 
just right.

Thanks again to all the people who made this possible. 
Organizers : Association Française de Footbag & Les Footbaguignols (Lyon)
Sponsors : City of Lyon / Pizza Hut / Cliché Skateboards / HACKTIVIST (with a 
new t-shirt release!) / Nuits Lyonnaises / Sorcerer Corporation
And of course : the players!

Held since 1999 in Montpellier by Icarus Footbag, the biggest French footbag event is moving to Lyon, hosted by Les Footbaguignols. We?ll hold a strong DOUBLES NET event and offer a thorough freestyle competition with ROUTINES (women, open & intermediate), SHRED 30 sec, SICK 3, all of which will take place in a gym. On Saturday night, we?ll move to a big brewery and throw a hell of footbag party with : videos (unfortunately, Fred & Pierre (Buda's Best) will not have Worlds 03 quite ready), "official" 4 square, breakbeat live with Future Funky Breaks (2 DJs, 1 MC + 1 digital- sound-twisting freak) and a TEAM FREESTYLE BATTLE. Directly inspired by breakdance battles : teams of 4 or 5 freestylers will battle, using the format and style of their choice (single shred, doubles shred, synchro, jokes, psychological warfare) to challenge, humiliate and defeat their opponents. We think this format can be much more fun than singles formats for both the kickers and the audience, and closer to a circle spirit? Book your week-end. Plan your trip. Stay tuned for further details. the French Footbag Association / Les Footbaguignols / HACKTIVIST.
