Blog Title: Nathan Deschamps Freestyle Footbag

A Huge thanks to Paul Mac Donald

This video is dedicated to Paul Mac Donald.
nathanfootbag.com was being auctioned off on godaddy.com (without me realizing) and Paul quickly reacted and outbid all the other bidders. Paul sent me an e-mail letting me know what happened and I assumed I would be paying at least 100$ to get the domain back but Paul gave it to me for free! He also paid for the domain to be mine until 2012! So as your enjoying this video remember that its completely thanks to Paul Mac Donald.

Best footage of 2008 Montage

In this video I basically made a montage of what I thought was the best footage of 2008.
I'm no longer grounded, my parents have decided to buy me a multi-vitamin that should help being vegetarian a little easier.
Its almost christmas! I can't wait to get my new X-box 360 and Footbag shoes! (hopefully)

More Walmart Goodness

During the week me and my friend Chris went to the Walmart by my school. We got some awesome footage. I completely forgot to mention on my last post that I beat a couple world records with a footbag. I'll be posting videos of the records in a records section that I'll be adding to this site within the next couple weeks. Besides that I haven't been up to much, actually I've been extremely busy with projects that I keep getting. I can't wait for the Christmas break.

Meat is Murder

Gah, sorry I didn't manage to post a video up yesterday, it was dark as soon as I got back from school and I didn't manage to get much footage during the weekend. I discovered the wacky song in the video from a PSP commercial that I watched on TV last night. I friggen love it, its so upbeat and happy.
We started doing physics in science class a little while ago, It started off easy now I just have no idea what I'm doing. I hope I can figure all of it out before the next test comes.

Footbag at Walmart?

Me and my friend Ryan wen't to walmart and I happened to have my camera on me. We figured sure, why not, lets have a bunch of random strangers think im crazy for the sake of this website.
I haven't been up to much lately, playing footbag every day and doing homework.
I got my crap report card this week,
My grades are just awesome (sarcasm):
56 in science
69 in french
69 in photography
73 in english
So thats basically why im going to dedicate half an hour each night to homework.

It gets dark too early!

I was forced to make most of this video indoors because of the sun going down too quick. Winter blows! I can't wait for the summer again. I've been using footbag as a cardio exercise lately, I wanna gain more endurance so that I can play footbag for longer amounts of time.

Street Footbag at 2 AM

I wen't to an event at our school called "reveilleton"(french) which is basicaly english for stay up all night marathon. I'm not gonna lie, its pretty geeky that I actually wen't but hey I managed to get awesome videos while I was over there. My friend Chris recorded me as I did street footbag across the tables while the teachers weren't looking. All the footage turned out great and I think that this is one of the coolest videos I've made so far.

Halloween Jamberine

Ah, I couldn't make a Halloween themed video because my costume was too fragile. I basically wrapped myself in toilet paper and called myself a mummy. Turns out it's a lot harder to do then you would think. Since my parents where in Cuba I didn't have much money to buy a cool costume, but it worked out okay anyways.

Why does it always rain on mondays?

My parents are gone to Cuba for the week and they've left me and my sister 100$ to spend on food and such. I'll be ordering a pizza later tonight im pretty excited about that. I didn't go to school today, I woke up this morning with an annoying cold so I figured may as well just sleep all day.
Hope you liked the video.

Almost Halloween

I realize I'm late posting this video. Last night our Internet provider kicked us off the Internet because apparently we hade some kind of intense virus. It was annoying, but we reformatted all our computers and finally got the Internet back this morning. The song I used for this video is so incredibly depressing, I love it.
Its almost halloween! one of my favorite times of the year, I was hoping I could make a halloween themed video for the blog.

Thanksgiving

I'm no longer feeling super sore from Wakahakee! That's a bonus in my life right now. I celebrated thanksgiving yesterday, ate some turkey and I had a day off from school today. I'm going back tomorrow unfortunately and I have a huge science test to deal with. Should go well enough I think. Wish me luck.

Homework Gore Galore

Last night I was still recovering from the intense footbagging I did at Wakahakee, so I finally made a video today. Tonight I have loads of homework in practically all of my subjects, so that should keep me busy. I hope I start getting less homework, its starting to get in the way of my usual footbag habbits. At least I have next Monday off from school because its thanks giving! That should give me some time to play.

Camp Wakahakee?

Soooooo I still haven't hit a triple around the world yet. I'm getting closer though.
I'll most likely be going to a footbag event this weekend called Camp Wakahakee. Basically you show up to Tom Moshers backyard and you camp there for the weekend. Lots of footbagging gets done and everyone gets a kick out of it. Unfortuantly I won't be allowed to camp over there, but at least I'll get to visit for the day on saturday. It should be fun stuff, cant wait!

So close to hitting triple around the world

I was just messing around last night playing some footbag as I usually do and holy crap! I was so close to hitting a triple around the world! My foot circled the bag 3 times but unfortunately I didn't manage to stall it. I hope I hit a triple by the end of the week. It would be awesome if I get it on video by then. Wish me luck

Shaken Bacon, (wow im funny)

The footage in today's video is unfortunately really shaky, I used a sorta old school rap song in this one. I usually don't listen to rap but I felt like it went so well with this video. I used the dirty version of the rap song cause I guess I'm brutal like that.
Its the morning right now and I'll be leaving for the bus in a little while. I'm willing to bet any money I've got that my bus driver won't come on time. Shes pretty lame that way, who knows maybe she won't show up at all and I'll be forced to stay home. That would be amazing...

I love my dirty Mc Donalds

Today I went to go get some McDonald's at the Walmart not far from my house. McDonald's is absolutely my legal drug of choice. I love my Big Macs, If It was possible for me to gain weight, I'm pretty sure I would be a whale. Yes, that's how much I like Mc Donalds.
Today's video is kinda short. I was pretty disappointed about that, It got dark outside to fast for me to get anymore footage to use on the video. Oh well, I think it still turned out pretty good,
Enjoy

Ah! School is coming...

Tomorrow is my last day off before school starts. Its depressing, I absolutely hate school. I'd so much rather just stay at home and play footbag all day. I'm in academic for all my classes so everything will just be that much harder. I'm still going to be posting a new video every Monday, so don't stop visiting my site =)
Today's video was made super epic. I wanted to see how dramatic I could make a footbag video and I think that this is really over the top.
Oh almost forgot I found a blog with a bunch of random videos, there some good stuff on it http://myrandomvideos.blogspot.com/ The owner of the blog has added one of my videos over there. :)

My best video so far

Well I've created my best video up to date. I added slowmo in this one! Yea I'm way to cool.. I didn't post last week because my cousin was visiting for the week and I couldn't find time. But I'm hoping that since this video is so cool it should make up for last week. Only one more week until school starts up again, sorry for reminding everyone. Tomorrow I gotta go pick up my school uniform for the year and go shopping for school supplies. That should be a blast! (sarcasm). My site has been receiving around 200 views each day for the past 4 days! Lets hope I can keep this up!
Enjoy the video

Rainy Summer

This summer its been raining a lot. Every second day it feels like I'm surrounded by the rain. It sucks quite a lot.
I've been working on my ducking moves a lot lately. Everything is coming along well. I haven't been up to anything exciting. My life has been great. Oh! I did get a new footbag in the mail. I haven't broken it in yet. Its a 32 panel and its made from ameretta. I also ordered another footbag that has yet to arrive. Enjoy the video

Pineapple Express Is Out Soon!

I passed summer school! Thank god.. I wouldn't want to go through all the studying again. I haven't been up to much lately just spending time playing footbag and playing video games. I beat the around the world record. I posted it on youtube you can find it here. I'm also going to try and beat a bunch of other footbag records so I'll keep you all posted on that. I've got another 4 weeks of summer before school starts again. I'm not looking forward to that, but at least I'll have some new moves to show off at school. I used the theme song from pineapple express in todays video. The movie is being released in two days and I can't wait to see it.

Holy crap, Intense studying

I've been studying intensely all night. It's suprising that I actually even got a new video up tonight. I decided to put a rap song in this one. I guess because I see more people here in Oshawa listening to rap than anything else. I figured it made sense. I haven't gotten to play like any footbag this week because of my crappy summer school. I've been stuck there for 2 weeks and tomorrow is the final exam day. No, I didn't fail the school year, my parents just decided to force me to move up to academic. Its depressing I know, but anyways I hope you all like the new video!

New video every monday

I've decided that I don't post enough on the blog, so I'm going to be posting a new video every monday. With a schedule planned out it should help me make time to get new videos up. I've been trying to beat the record for the most around the worlds done in a row. My highest amount I've accomplished so far is 50. The current record is 77. I posted a bet on bragster about it, you can check it out here. I've got 11 days left to beat the record or I lose the bet. Wish me luck!

I realize that the song in this video is incredibly obnoxious, that was for revenge purposes. Cassy (the other footbagger in the video) put that in there to be a weirdo (just kidding shes awesome). The funny thing is, I like the song, but i know that 99.5% of people won't enjoy it.... Sooo Enjoy!

Footbagging In Colberg

I went to my friend Colters condo in Colberg. We where pretty bored so we got some sick footage for the blog. I was thinking the other day and I completely forgot to mention that it was my birthday on the 18th of may! We went to this place downtown called Laser Extreme. Its basically laser tag only on drugs.
But anyways I gotta keep this short I'm going to a dentist appointment in a couple minutes. Hopefully I won't need my retainer in my mouth for much longer.
The iron man routine is coming along well, its about 1/3 done. So anyways enjoy the video!

First Tournament ToJam BABY

I finally got my chance to participate in my first tournament in Toronto! I posted some of the footage from the circle competition in today's video. I'm getting much better at hitting phoenix, I recorded it on video today for your enjoyment.
Oh god, finally I got some new shorts, I've gotta say they look a billion times better then the last ones. These ones actually seem to match what I'm wearing once in a while ;)
I basically destroyed my quantums (footbag shoes) so now I've gotta go back to using my lavers till I destroy those too.
Iron Man the movie was so incredibly good that it inspired me to start working on a footbag routine to the song "iron man - Black Sabbath". I should have it posted on the blog when I finish choreographing it.
I found out the other day that if i close my fists while playing footbag, my arms become a lot less distracting to the audience. So I've been working on that.
Anyways... this is the longest post I've written so far, enjoy the video!

Going to see Iron Man tonight

Tonight I'm going out to go see Iron Man, I've seen the previews for it and I'm absolutly pumped to go see it. I heard there making a second one too, that should give me somthing to look forward to. I've been playing lots of footbag as usual. I managed to hit a new move, its called a phenix, I'll try to get it on tape for the next video I post. Sorry about the shortness of this video, I got lazy. My next one will be longer.
