More Than Nerds Documentary

This short youtube documentary features some classic faces of foam fighting, I find it amazing that it only has 320 some views as it is, in my opinion, in the top 10-20% of foam fighting docs I have seen on youtube.

Foam fighting helps fight drug addictions?

2 comments

     Val's fighting name is Sumé. Like many foam fighters his story of his involvement in hard hitting boffers starts in a familiar way. It took Sumé a few years of prompting before he finally joined the foam fighting group about 9 years ago. "I came out here and was like, oh, this is actually pretty fun!" Sumé says. He not only embraced the fighting but other parts of the game as well "I just really love making costumes."
     But here Sumé's foam fighting testimony veers from the familiar and becomes inspirational "Six years ago, I was really bad in to drugs...". The foam fighting group gave him a way to escape his old life
"And so I actually came out here to get away from that." says Sumé "To get away from all the drugs and all the people I used to hangout with." Sumé is quick to point to his involvement in the club as a key factor in his ability to change his life "This actually is the one thing that is keeping me sober. And keeping me on my sober path...".

I just re-ran across an old video that is one of my favorites, the video shows a large number of foam fighters taking the field at an indoor football arena as the half time entertainment. The video info said that this happened in 2006 at a Nashville Kats Game.  I would love to hear how they got this to happen, it would be an amazing experience. Click "Read more »" to watch video.
