Chicago Lake Coast Kickers - Logo Sample

Here is a sample of the Chicago Lake Coast Kickers Footbag Net Club logo which I created for Scot Hansen. This design in more of an emblem-style logo combining Zeke's footbag dude artwork and the great Chicago colors.

Chaos has a forum!

Hey we finally got the ball rolling on this.

Practice videos

This is all footage from August



This was taken on 8-10-08, after I got that nasty road rash on my left knee. These are my very first attempts at toe flips. This is also the first time I have tried editing video in about 8 years.



More footage from 8-10-08. The swing is feeling more natural so here I'm trying to see how high I can reach and how hard I can hit the target.



Ever since I separated my collar bone a few years back, I've been very tentative about doing crazy things in the air. As you can imagine, it's a big problem for a short net player who wants to get up and spike. I got plenty of great tips from better players and took it step by step. I'm able to hit side axes in games now.

Second City Cup- This Weekend!

Hey everyone! I noticed that the blog has been very quiet lately, but that doesn't mean we aren't still kicking! In case you forgot, the Second City Cup is being held THIS WEEKEND at Union Park in Chicago. Saturday will be impromptu net games all day long and Sunday will be the official competition. We'll start at 11:00 AM with a singles bracket and go straight into a standard doubles bracket before we do a little "King of the Court" competition to end the weekend.
No entry fees, no prize money, no bleachers, no frills. Just a great weekend of kick volley! Be there!

By the way, I sent in a formal request to Navy Pier just moments ago to secure our space for the 2nd Annual Windy City Cup to be held June 19-21, 2009. Make sure to block the weekend on your calendars now!
