Ocean County Clippers Arise

Footbag enthusiasts from around North America will come together this weekend in Silver Spring, MD for the 24th annual East Coast Footbag Championships.

All the more apropos that on June 27th, 2007 the powers that be, members of Ocean County Clippers - Original Recipe, unanimously approved an application to resurrect The Ocean County Clippers that was submitted by footbag enthusiasts from Toms River, NJ and the surrounding area.

Of course, many of you reader(s) may not be familiar with the exploits of the Ocean County Clippers All Around Footbag Team, I dare you to comment if you have , but this was a virtual footbag promotion juggernaut from the mid 1980’s to the early 1990’s.  OCC got their start at The East Coast Footbag Championshps back when the event was produced and directed by HOF members Rick Kaufman and then, yours truly(what the hell does that mean anyway?), Eric, Chaos #5, Wulff.

The event is now directed by none other than the great and procrastinating master himself - Vince Bradley.  It is Vince’s 13th year directing the event - Nice Vince!  Perhaps this year’s event will serve as a launching pad for OCC Redux.  I can only hope .

Regardless, tune in here for the latest on what’s going on at the ECFC since Chaos Footbag is representing strong.  Chaos #0, 4, 5, 7 and honorary Current are in town to throw it down.
