Footbag: 2002: Ales Zelinka (triple around the world)

Perhaps the first triple around the world on video? At least in shoes, I believe. This was groundbreaking in the same way that a first video of nemesis would be (though certainly that would have been Sunil solo sessioning...)

Performed by Ales "The Man of Steel" Zelinka.

he first triple round hte world was performed by vasek right? or felix?

I'm not sure, but it's very likely that it was hit way before any of those players even started footbag. I know Ales was the one who popularized it, so I'm pretty sure he hit it before Vasek and Felix. But there are other competitors, for example Sunil hit triple pixie back in, like, 2000 at least, and I think I may have heard that he'd also hit TATW? Bryan Fournier was busting it around the same time as this Ales video too, or before.

I may have heard something about Tim Kelly (who was busting flurries BSOS back in, like, 94-ish???)? There was some discussion on Modified a bit back about this and one of the older schoolers mentioned that another old schooler had hit it, I think.

I think it was more like Kenny, or Rippin, or Tim Kelly, or someone like that.
