The Vasek Klouda Manual: How to Play Footbag
This is pretty exciting news: Vasek is telling us his secrets in a new footbag book. “The Vasek Klouda Manual: How to Play Footbag” has been made available as PDF download for a measly $5 (through PayPal).
There is a fascinating autobiography at the very beginning, with a preface written by Dan Ednie. The manual then goes into very precise detail, instructing the fledgling or competent freestyler alike in a world-class training regime that includes everything from the very basics, through to triple dex moves, sets, cross-training, and advanced techniques in the psychology of footbag. This is almost 100 pages of pure gold for any young freestyler out there, as well as being a highly enlightening and informative read for those of us who are past the age of pure training and competing.
From the footbag.cz website annoucing its availability:
Vasek recently teamed up with Dan Ednie from Australia to write a manual: How to Play Footbag. It is available for download for US$5 and it is 90 pages of How to train Footbag, The Psychology of Footbag and exact trick tips for sets and downtime components. Half of the money is donated to IFPA so please dont steal and email it to your friends.
It’s definitely a collaborative work, edited by Dan. They thank Ales Zelinka, Dexter Struz, and Milan Benda for their contributions.
Frankly, I don’t think they’re charging enough for this. It’s a philanthropic price, especially considering that half of it goes to the IFPA. I would encourage those of you who can afford it to pay multiple times. I think maybe they should set up another “by donation” payment option so as to allow more affluent supporters to better support/reward this momentous effort.
