The Cindy Kruger Interview
Cindy Kruger will finish 2003 as the number one player on the Women’s Rankings. Based in the Seattle, Washington area, she has won the FPA Worlds Women’s Pairs title three times (1998, 1999, 2003) and the Mixed Pairs title in 2002. Not content to dominate Women’s competitions, Kruger has been a frequent entrant in the Open division with great success. She has flirted with the top 20 in the Open rankings, reaching a high of #21 this year. In early November, she teamed with Lisa Silvey and Mary Lowry to tie for second place at the Arizona States. Shrednow interviews Cindy Kruger about her game, freestyle, Seattle, late night dancing, and her plans for 2004.

Sentiamoci…
Cari tutti voi,
non ho capito quanti siamo, a navigare in questo sito, che, come detto da Luca Gagliardi, doveva essere principalmente per noi italiani, ma Ë scritto spudoratamente tutto da americani!
Scherzi a parte, va a Arthur un grande ringraziamento per aver creato questo sito, pensando a noi…
Ma usiamolo.
Per esempio:
Roma 6 dicembre 2003.
E’ un evento!
Grande!
Vorrei sapere se tutti quelli che entrano in questo sito sanno dell’incontro che Lorenzo, Nando e la banda di Roma sta organizzando per i freestylers italiani…
E’ un’occasione, la prima, speriamo, del lungo inverno che ci aspetta al varco, che ci fa stare a casa, o ad allenarSi (io no, resto a casa…) fuori al freddo…la prima, dicevo, occasione, per vedersi, giocare insieme, parlare, organizzare altri appuntamenti.
Il freestyle italiano Ë esplosivo, lo abbiamo visto a FPA, lo leggiamo sui siti, dove troviamo che il calendario Ë zeppo di eventi italiani.
Quello che deve essere costruito Ë una continuazione, un filo conduttore che crei le basi per crescere insieme.
O anche solo per fare un pÚ di casino, insieme.
Il 6 dicembre Ë l’occasione di Roma.
Mi piace pensare che ci siano romani, riminesi, forlivesi, milanesi, triestini, torinesi…
e mi piace pensare che Trieste sia un’altra tappa, e Venezia, un’altra ancora…Milano ormai Ë una tappa obbligata e bellissima, con il Vagolino, e Rimini Ë sede di Paganello e, almeno anche per il 2004, FPA
Aspetto commenti e "ci sono".
E aspetto anche altri "inviti":
L’inverno Ë lungo: lo sará un pÚ di meno, se ci vedremo spesso!
Ciao, freestylers italiani!

Matteo Gaddoni: la stella nascente della east-coast
Fare un’intervista ad un amico À qualcosa di strano: l’avevamo presa, io e Clay, un po’ come un gioco, un po’ come uno scherzo. Cosœ, abbiamo invitato Matteo Gaddoni sabato pomeriggio a casa nostra, dopo l’allenamento, per fargli delle domande sul freestyle, sul mondo del frisbee, su lui.
