World Footbag

Thanks to everyone who come out to kick, juggle, laugh and celebrate Bruce’s legacy. We really enjoyed bringing out the banners, balloons, net sets and decades of stories from past events.

You’ll be sure to see more of these in the future. Keep kickin’

Thanks to everyone who came out kick, juggle, laugh and celebrate Bruce’s legacy this weekend!

Some more "Thanks For The Memories" images. Bruce Guettich plays footbag net.

And now for some "Thanks For The Memories" images including our man of the hour Bruce Guettich. We are starting off with the short shorts era.

May 12, 1983 Bruce Guettich and Greg Cortopassi officially opened the doors of World Footbag Association, championing a “by the players, for the players” business. After a long and industrious 42 year career, we are beyond grateful for his contributions to the sport and excited to announce Bruce’s retirement!

Bruce’s dedication to the sport, to his employees, and customers has been unwavering. His impact on the sport cannot be emphasized enough. To grow World Footbag, Bruce grew the sport of footbag-through touring teams, school shows, Worlds Fairs and the infamous Footbag World Magazine. Bruce’s legacy on the sport will have an impact on generations of footbag players to come.

World Footbag continues to promote the sport and manufacture the highest quality footbags. Bruce’s dedication to the sport is as strong as ever-you’ll likely see him at more events, tournaments and footbag circles with his extra time to play.

Please take a few minutes to watch Bruce’s official announcement in the link below.

Keep kickin’ Bruce!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the land
Footbag filled stockings were plump, laden with sand
No creatures were stirring, in nary a dwelling
Though expectant hearts were thumping and swelling
When up on the roof I heard banging and thwacks
At the sound of Saint Nick kicking new Hacks!
Now Glostar! Now Shroom!
Now Trojan! Now Stally!
On Dirtbag! On PT!
On Steely One-Twenty!
That jolly old man was shredding with style
Then he sprang to his sleigh, and waved with a smile
And I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of view
Happy Holidays to you, and all of your crew!!

Wishing you health and happiness from our crew to yours!!

The Fab Four was back at their old stomping (kicking) grounds this past weekend! Good to see the Golden Welcome Arch! Golden CO was the home of the Footbag World Championships from 1985 - 1993. On the street is Greg Cortopassi, Bruce Guettich, Mag Hughes and Peter Shunny! And Jimmy Caveney is flying along side Bruce Guettich back in the day.

Jolly Ol' St Peter is going to make a lot of boys and girls on the "nice" list very happy this season. Orders placed over the weekend had Peter and his elves VERY busy today.

So on the wall and in the hall, proud and tall, with toes that stall, were Hall of Famers, one and all!

We got some nice hometown press today. With Bruce Guettich, Peter Shunny, Randy Nelson and a guest appearance from Andy Linder.

Steamboat is home to the unofficial footbag hall of fame On the west side of Steamboat Springs is a not-so-hidden but perhaps not well-known recreation gem: World Footbag.
