I just put out my June monthly newsletter. 9 free fitness guides, 2 in-depth blog posts, 3 documentary films, 19 full audio books, 11 new videos on the way, and 1 message of peace. There's a lot going on here. Check it out, subscribe, read past issues, and share with a friend:

With Father’s Day and graduations, June is always a season of celebration. For me, there’s been an extra reason to celebrate this year. I injured my tailbone in February and have been in recovery mode for a long time, but I’m finally getting back to full function. So, I’ve been re-assessing ...

A brief rundown of the history of the iF3. This is part of a scene I’m crafting for the new documentary Reach For The Rings 2!

If you want to see the rest of the film, there are 3 ways to help make it happen:

1) Watch REACH FOR THE RINGS anywhere you can find it (it's available on a lot of platforms throughout the English-speaking world).

2) Join our Reach For The Rings 2 Patreon tier for $3/month at www.patreon.com/nicnakis (and get access to source footage and works in progress)

3) Come aboard as a corporate sponsor, or help make a link with companies we should approach about sponsorship.

Reach For The Rings is available from Library Bound Inc. If you work in a library... this is where you would go to order a copy of Reach For The Rings on DVD or BluRay for your collection. And if you don't work in a library, but you just go to the library, you could also request your librarian to stock this title and tell them where to find it.

We got a great distributor for Reach For The Rings and the film is available from tons of platforms around North America (you might have to pirate it elsewhere). I'm not familiar with all of them, and I don't have access to all of them, so I'm asking YOU to help me do some quality control checks.

If you do happen to work in a library, please look in the Library Bound Inc. catalog and let me know if you're able to verify the films availability. Order a copy if you can!

And all you library goers, please request that your librarians order a copy of Reach For The Rings for your local library too!

Thanks for the assist!

The story continues...

This is athlete Nicole Heer at the 2021 iF3 Worlds in Norkopping, Sweden.

If you watch Reach For The Rings, you will see her there in Malmo in 2019. Reach For The Rings 2 will tell the next chapter with the Continental Cup 2020 and the 2021 Worlds.

Then, Reach For The Rings 3 (if I ever get around to that one) will continue by showing you what she did in Mexico in 2022.

She's not the main character, but she's one of the consistent athletes who keeps showing up at the iF3 and continues rising in the ranks. If you're following her story and others, please support the and consider supporting these documentaries by:

- Watching Reach For The Rings anywhere you can find it.

I think this is a cable company... another platform that is purported to carry our movie, but I haven't been able to verify it because i don't have it.

If you want to support the mission of the and help their story get told, please go watch REACH FOR THE RINGS anywhere you can find it, consider supporting REACH FOR THE RINGS 2 on Patreon, and give me your input on where you'd like to see the second movie appear.

What platform would you want to watch Reach For The Rings 2 on? And what format would you want to see it in?

Would you prefer a feature length (1.5-2 hrs) documentary film like Reach For The Rings, available on the same wide variety of platforms (streaming, VOD, downloads, discs)?

Or, is there some other way you'd like to watch it? What if it were only on a single platform, like YouTube, Vimeo or Patreon, but available in more countries?

Would you watch it if it were in 3 half-hour episodes?

These are some of our burning questions and I would love to hear what you think about the matter.

Comment or DM to weigh in on the matter.

Ok. I'm sure you've heard of this platform. We at and got fantastic distribution from and they put our film out everywhere--in North America that is.

What I don't know is how easy it is for people to find Reach For The Rings in other countries. If you're outside the USA & Canada, try doing a search on Amazon for Reach For The Rings and let me know what you find.

There are DVDs and Blu-Ray discs on the market, as well as numerous platforms for streaming, AVOD (ad supported), and downloads. However you choose to watch it, it helps us pay off the debts and build funds for future projects in support of the iF3's mission to get the sport of into the . If it reaches a wide enough audience, this is also potentially a fundraiser for the .
