|  |  | USO_11.jpg Hanging out with footbaggers has to be the next best thing (if not better) than playing with footbaggers. Cloud 9 is a great bunch of guys and I always look forward to seeing them when they come into town. Photo by Alex "Zeke" Ibardaloza.

|  |  | USO_14.jpg Daryl Genz. He's got to be one of the coolest and most generous footbaggers I've ever met. He's also one of the first pros I've ever seen. At Midwest 98 I saw him doing heel around the worlds... I think that was him... Photo by Alex "Zeke" Ibardaloza.
