Akisphère 2012

The Akisphere 2012 Montreal annual footbag net tournament was graced by a few players from out of town, PT Lovern (Oakland, CA), Chris Siebert (Portland, OR) and Ben Alston (Memphis, TN), showed up to make the tournament tougher for the locals.

In the singles competition, Martin Côté won his second title 22 years after his first success, pretty unbelievable! His opponent was a real tough cookie, and Martin had to work real hard to get this unexpected result over seasoned veteran Chris Siebert.

In the doubles finals, François Depatie-Pelletier and Benjamin Rochon repeated their win from 2011 over PT Lovern and Manu Bouchard. There was some high class spiking in this match and it is now available to watch for free. In this compilation you will find the complete three games,  with scores and a lot of slow motion. Here’s the teaser:
