After the huge success of last year`s Tokyo Shredder Gathering, Japan`s best
shredders are once again flocking to Tokyo for the second biggest Japanese
tournament of the year. Last year`s event saw over 100 players attend, and
this year promises to be even bigger, and have an even higher level of
competition. If you are interested in footbag, there is no excuse to miss
this event. Beginners and intermediates welcome. All of Japan`s best
shredders will be in attendance, so DO NOT MISS IT!
Big thanks to Freedom footbags and Naranja for generously sponsoring this
event.
