The Flying Clipper is once again an offical sponsor for the 2013 U.S. OPEN Footbag Net Championships!

 This year Flying Clipper will be donating 24 Juice Netbags! This netbag is the ideal for the fast growing sport of Footbag Net.

The 2013 U.S. OPEN Footbag Net Champsionships will take place June 29-30 this year in Portland, Oregon! Footbag was born in Oregon in 1972, so what better way to hold this event than where it was discovered. It will be held at Willamette Park, a beautiful riverfront park with flat playing fields. This event offers footbag net play for everyone- beginners, intermediates, and pros! The U.S. OPEN holds the biggest events for women, so ladies make sure to come out. Fans, friends, and supporters welcome!

Here at Flying Clipper we are very passionate about juggling. So when we heard of The Pocono Juggle Fest we donated a 5-ball set of the Phat Tyre Tossaball juggling balls with a logo pouch to their raffle!

The Pocono Juggle Fest took place this past weekend at Panther High School and Lehighton Area High School where jugglers from the ages 18-85 came to learn some new tricks. Here plenty of props were readily accessible and experienced circus performers and jugglers willing to help with tricks. All throughout the day on Saturday there were impromptu lessons in every corner of the gym, corridors and auditorium. Lessons covered everything from hulu hooping to aerial skills. There was something for everyone here at the festival. The event wrapped up Saturday night with a big show, where jugglers who have performed all around the globe came to participate. Rob Barowski and and Kim Laird, coordinators of the event, were thrilled to share their passion in juggling and circus arts with their community.

Check out the Pocono Juggle Fest’s Facebook for full coverage of the event, including pictures and videos!

The University of Victoria Juggling Club is hosting a weekend long event in January for people to come together and learn, share and display their wild, wonderful and sometimes wacky skills. This festival has 30 workshops and 2 juggling shows. Do you have your own talent already? Join in for the open mic Renegade show on Friday and show off your skillz! There is a special guest named Komei Aokifrom Japan. His fusion of dance and juggling together has set him apart from the others, and he has become an internationally acclaimed performance artist. He will be featured in the Gala show on the Saturday night at the Metro in downtown Victoria. Our show also features the best of Canadian born and bred West Coast talent.  See here for more details, including directions and performers.

Here is the latest update from Peter’s Facebook Page:

“After months of waiting around, I finally heard from the Guinness World Record people. After the holidays I will begin organizing and training to set a world record for Juggling 3 balls with the feet. I hope to raise money for an worthy organization making a difference in the world, perhaps the Tibetan Children’s Fund.”

Flying Clipper will make a donation to support Peter’s foundation of choice.

Last year we sent 100 footbags to Rwanda to help teach kids how to play together cooperatively. This is the video we got back from our friends over there:

 It’s Official!

This is huge news!

Peter Irish, the world-famous juggler and footbag enthusiast, will be using our brand new Tossaball Plush Puppies Juggle Balls to attempt a world record with Guinness World Records for juggling three balls with his feet!

Peter Irish is one of our heroes here at Flying Clipper. He’s been pioneering the sport of Hand and Feet Juggling for quite a while, and we’ve been pioneering our hybrid Tossaballs based on his recommendations for just about as long. Here is a great video of Peter using some of our products in his unique and amazing style!

As you can see, Peter Irish is a world-class juggler. We’re absolutely confident he will set the World Record this winter. We’ll be sure to post videos, pictures and as many details as we possibly can once we know more information! Stay tuned!

We have scant details right now, but we are sure to send a 5-ball set of Tossaball Phat Tyre 32 juggle balls with a Jumbo Flying Clipper Logo Pouch!

This is the set of juggle balls one lucky winner will receive in the raffle
