In 2009 the Foam Fighting organization Dagorhir was prominently featured on Discovery's Channel's show Wreckreation Nation. The footage was put up on to you tube and is quite enjoyable, it is nice to see foam fighting portrayed in a positive light and given such large scale exposure on national television. I think exposure like this can only be good for the foam fighting community as a hole. (click "read more" to enjoy the videos)

Its a nice twist on the Original Foam Fighting game, AMTGARD. It is good to see TV bringing this to the spotlight and not making it sound dorkish and stupid. Foam is a great place to start.. some move forward to Legs off furniture (SCA) and then a few move onto live steel ( ADRIAN EMPIRE ). All good sport, companionship, and fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but Amtgard was founded by an offshoot from Dagorhir.
