It will be the fourth edition of Pro Kicker's KICK VOLLEY tournament. This is an annual indoor event held in Montreal, Quebec. I introduced the concept of Kick Volley in 2009 as an intention to renew the marketing idea behind the sport called Footbag Net. More on this on the Kick Volley web site. So far the action seen in the three first editions was pretty amazing, especially KV01 and KV02 with

I had the privilege to give a workshop to a group of dedicated teachers at the annual Quebec's Federation of Physical Educators congress. I shared my knowledge of teaching Footbag and I also introduced them to Peteca, a cool Brazilian sport. This year's the congress title was ''Bougeons ensemble'' which could be loosely translated by ''Let's move together''. I also had a product booth at the

I recently had the opportunity to give two footbag workshops at ''Les Semailles'' school in Blainville (25 minutes from Montreal) . It's the 6th year in a row that I can meet with the motivated kids at that school thanks to teacher Geneviève Croteau.One part of my workshop is a two minutes consecutive kicks contest. One of the 6th graders, Jonathan Roy, kicked 120 times without dropping the

I had the blessing of being hired to give 8 workshops over 2 days at ''Le Rucher'' school near Montreal yesterday and today. I especially want to commend the commited teacher who made this possible: Diane Bourgeois. Diane is a PE teacher coming close to retirement but she's still extremely involved and concerned about her students.She's one of the most motivated teachers I've ever met and she's

I finally get back to blogging life as spring is coming early it seems. My friends and teammates Gilles Demers and François Depatie-Pelletier represented Montreal at the 2010 French Footbag Open held in Paris February 26-28th. They managed very well thank you by winning the coveted Open Doubles Net championship over 29 other teams. In the finals match they defeated Jean-François Lemieux,

Yeah! It looks like it's the end for me as a Pro Footbag competitor. Yesterday I blew my left knee again (2004) while playing a little Peteca with a friend. I must say that I had a great run as I played for 28 years including 25 years as a competitor. I won my first tournament in Montreal in 1985, then it took us four years to organize another one here. That's when I started a series of at least

The first semi-finals opposes JF Lemieux and Ben ''Rock on'' Rochon to Alexis Deschênes and François Depatie-Pelletier. It takes a lot of fire power to get past JF and Ben's defence and Alexis and

I saw this guy on the news tonight, claiming on all possible tones, that ultimate fighting should be permitted in Toronto and in Ontario in general. Well let me disagree on the one point he was trying so hard to defend: Is Ultimate fighting barbarian?The argument he was making was that no death has ever been recorded in this sport, yes I do call it a sport 'cause it can be, how lame an argument

The Green Cup is always very special for me as it is a good occasion to visit spectacular San Francisco. My partner Luc Legault and I took off for Burlington, VT early in the morning and we flew to San Fran from there, through Philadelphia. Smooth flight, no problem. We then took the public transportation to the city. We were hosted by Footbag legends Eric Wulff and Carol Wedemeyer. They had a

After 2 years of lies on the environment, after making Canada the laugh of the international community, Stephen Harper did set up an election date for October 14th. After creating a law to make sure that we would have elections only every 4 years, he broke it the first chance he had and makes Canadians spend another 250 millions for an illegal election.He pretended his government couldn't rule

Canada's prime minister Stephen Harper cloned himself as a Just for Laughs clown at the recent G8 summit held July 7-9 in Japan. He said, without laughing, that it was a good thing for the environment that George Bush would be leaving the oval office soon and that it would be easier to deal with a new american administration. Of course we will remember that he was Bush's side arm the whole time,

Footbag net is a really small sport. Not because it doesn't have all it takes to be more in the public eye. It's fast and spectacular, combining martial art moves with ball control that many professionnal soccer players would envy. So what's the problem? I guess we just didn't find the right person yet to make it to the mainstream. Most tournaments are poorly organized, not because of the

I am a Footbag player (aka Hacky Sack which is a trademark), we play over a 5 foot net on a badminton court. When I have interviews with various journalists one question often comes back: Is this really a sport. Well if you have to run to retrieve a Footbag, then pass it and spike over the net I guess it is. For me it is obvious. What is not so obvious is why people call things like poker,

Wow! the day was gorgeous. We had a serious winter, it snowed and snowed. When spring finally shows up after that it's sooooo good. That's why I'm an avid Montrealer, I like the season change. In the summer everything is bright and moving. The Winter slows down things, for me I mean, it's then fun to be in the house working on my computer like crazy.Tonight the Montreal Canadiens won game 7 of a

Industrialize the food, sweeten it, fatten it, take the nourishing value out, cash in. That could be the motto of companies like Nestle and Nabisco who buy the small, family farms to make as much industrial food as possible, as much cash as possible, your health is none of their concern, of course it is yours. That's why more and more informed people turn to organic foods when they can afford

Yes it is definitely easy, so easy in fact that I just started a blogger account for my mom. The thing is that she is over 70 and not particularly computer savvy. She said that she had things to say about the world, I told her that she could blog, that I could set her up in 5 minutes. And we did so I hope she's gonna remember the easy steps to sign in, create a post and publish. I gave her a

I just talked to a (female)musician who just spent a while in Afghanistan to entertain the Canadian troops which are based near Kandahar. She told me that she faced every ugly side of war. All the soldiers that she talked to, but one, just think about getting out of this rat hole.In spite of all our politician’s and the army’s efforts to mediatize the canadian mission like it was a humanitarian

That's it the 18th edition of the Montreal Windchill is a thing of the past. We had interesting battles during this tournament and I was part of one. My partner Samuel Cloutier and I fought former World Champions John Leys and Emmanuel Bouchard in one of the Doubles semi-finals. We took a 14-6 lead in the first game of the 2 out of 3 but unfortunately we could never close the deal and gave 10

My favorite sports team, the Montreal Canadiens, yes it's ice hockey what do you expect I'm canadian? played with fire tonight against the Boston Bruins. Although I think that Montreal is far superior they went on to win a 3-2 overtime game that was far from being convincing. They played softly during long moments in the game like if they were not taking the Bruins very seriously. The Boston team

My partner Cory Current and I were driving back to Illinois from the Memphis tournament last monday when I learned that the Chicago Footbag net club didn't have a real name or a web site. I decided to help as it is very easy to set up a web site on a blog platform. Cory told me that he had thought about the Inner Rectangle as a potential name for the Club. The Chicago Footbag Freestyle club name

Tonight's the night. I will leave Montreal around 3 am to ride to Burlington, Vt to catch a plane to Chicago. Once I arrive there I'll meet with my doubles net partner Cory Current. We'll then drive another 8 hours to Memphis, Tn, in order to be present for the warm-up practice scheduled for friday 1pm. Then we'll play in the tournament on the 5th and 6th. This may seem like a hell of a road trip

Our practices on tuesday night are scheduled from 7h15 pm to 8h45 and from 9 pm to 10h30 pm it's pretty cool. I want to thank the 2 unknown that set up our nets every tuesday and thursday for us to spike it down: Norm and Emilie, thank you! You're awesome and without you we wouldn't play Footbag Net.Montreal Footbag Club

Tire pressure, I know it's a pain to check it out. We're supposed to do it once a month. If only all the tires were at the right pressure it would save 4 millions of gallons of gas a day in the US only. That also means it would be cheaper for you to drive. So get the little tool and check it out once in a while would you?

Peace on earth, peace on earth, peace on earth. It's my last 30 seconds Mantra. I had negative thoughts about an ex-friend and then I thought what the hell! I don't have time or energy to loose with that. It made me come back in the 70's when I was having a blast listening to intelligent and articulate music. When I thought that I was gonna be a musician (bass player) playing

My partner Sébastien Perron has a blog referring to his numerous adventures while touring for demonstrating the Handsack game.I had some pretty amazing stories happening to me while traveling for Footbag. For example in 2000 I went to the European Championships in Paris. You have to know that I have to wear knee braces to play after pretty extensive surgeries. At the time I had a brace on my

Wow! We had so much snow this winter that I had to leave my bike stored in the basement. It was the first time in years that I couldn't ride in the winter although I saw some real courageous people pedaling in the ice and snow. This was just too much for me. But today the freedom came back. There's nothing like feeling the air while you create your own locomotion. Of course I would feel guilty

For the past 26 years I've been involved in selling and promoting Footbag. It's basically a cheap way to get in shape. Recently I've added some more skills games to my web site. In 1990 I've been part of the first National Takraw school tour in the US. Takraw is very popular in southeast Asia, it's a really fun mix of soccer and volleyball. It's now available on ProKicker as well as two other

The mighty Canadiens were flying to a crushing victory over Ottawa, leading 7-1 after 2 periods. They lost a lot of their intensity and Ottawa came back scoring 4 goals in a row. Nonetheless Montreal finally won this very important game when approaching the post-season. With this win the Canadiens managed to clinch a sure place in the series. Montrealers are thrilled about their club and now we
