Footbag on Instagram – July 2019
July 2019 footbag action on Instagram.
The main event right now is the World Footbag Championships in Warsaw, Poland. The US Open will follow hot on its heels in Boston. Many of the clips have come from August, so we will have a look around the world of Instagram to see what is around.
Here is something from me to begin. During the winter school holidays they had things like ice skating and light shows set up and I was able to get some cool clips.
Worlds – Old Guard/New Guard
I was planning on making a different segment for Worlds, but I like this photo and it is of two players who have made a big impact at this tournament. Vasek has just been a machine, really dominating without looking to really need to reach his peak form.
Sebastian Ceballos has made a big impact, with spectators enjoying a great performance. The video can be seen near the top of this page.
He also impressed the judges in Routines, qualifying for the finals. He was also towards the end of the players still going in the Last Man Standing event.
Bruce Li and Taishi Ishida in synch
This is a really cool clip that I hadn’t seen before. These are two players I have shared plenty of in these columns, now here they are in the one video, each doing a PS Whirl.
Paloma Preparations
Paloma Mayo preparing for another World Championship event. Some nice work here with slow motion on individual tricks.
Comeback Cross
Matt Cross is back on the scene, with a few other players of similar vintage like Tom Mosher getting back into kicking and sharing videos, which is awesome to see.
Party Bombe
Party Bombe is a major event on the Finnish Footbag calendar, though we only have a picture to see the action for the moment. You can follow the Footbag Finland account for plenty of action from Worlds as well.
Pawel Motorov

#Hackysackchallenge
Apparently the #hackysackchallenge is a thing. But it has minimal posts in relation to it. Seems to be something from the parkour movement. This guy has caught it in his hands, so it doesn’t count.
Footbag for Martial Arts
Here is a great example using footbag as a warmup for different activities. In this case some type of martial arts.
Hacking on the Trail
There are some great hiking photos in this collection and then a short kicking video with an awesome backdrop.
Footbag in the Park
I like the look of this one sped up, also looks like they’re having a great time circle kicking. I believe it may be in South Africa.
That’s that for July 2019. The August roundup should include more action from Worlds and USO. Keep on kicking!
