Shamble: Online Footbag Magazine
Over the past few years I’ve heard talk from various people wanting to start up a new footbag magazine. Many had thought about making an old school paper version, but it just never seemed that practical. It was always the online version that seemed the most feasible, and finally someone has taken the initiative and launched the first ever online footbag magazine (that is with the exception of the WFA’s original Footbag World Magazine which was in paper and now has older versions online).
Asmus Helms of Denmark has spearheaded this new site, called Shamble.
The site describes itself as follows:
Shamble is a newly started online footbag magazine. The goal behind Shamble is to bring quality articles about the footbag scene.
Shamble is worldwide and focuses mainly on the freestyle part of footbag.
Shamble will focus on freestyle footbag both as a competitive sport and as a lifestyle.
Of particular current interest is the writeup on You Don’t Mess With The Zohan, a film starting Adam Sandler and and a whole host of top notch footbag players (many of which are good personal friends of mine). The shot of it is that, unfortunately, they didn’t even manage to call the sport footbag in the movie - they stuck with the old school brand name Hacky Sack ®. Also, apparently a lot of the footbag scenes were cut form the movie, but we are all hopeful that it will be featured more in the DVD version.
