Footbag on Instagram – May 2020

May 2020 has footbag players preparing for the first ever online Worlds.

With different countries around the world in varying stages of lockdown or recovery following the Coronavirus situation, we take a look at what footbag players have been up to in the month of May.

For me I played a fair bit but didn’t get so much online. What I did mention in this post was the plethora of online competitions and content which has been a really cool thing to see from the lockdown.

In this isolation time there are so many #footbag contests, new content. I've been busy trying to film for a few this afternoon. Here's a few tricks afterwards.

His account is about “learning to juggle with my feet while my wrists heal”. Seems Jonah is doing a great job of that.
