Interview with Footbag Hall of Fame Member Ken “Kenny” Shults, Star of Tricks of the Trade 1 and 2
This is the first of hopefully many more to come with Footbag Hall of Fame members that contributed to the history and creation of the sport we all love and cherish, Footbag!
Ken Shults is the star of Tricks of the Trade 1 and Tricks of the Trade 2, the first instructional videos focused on teaching the original moves of Footbag. These videos were created by World Footbag back in the early days of the sport, and Ken was nice enough to work on the project with us to make it a high-quality production that still holds up in today’s digital age. Though some of the moves have new names, the principles of how to execute them perfectly every time remain the same.
In today’s modern generation it’s easy to reference the ever-popular hacky sack circle, and more advanced players will know the basic moves of footbag involving stalls. But try to imagine a world where the first toe stall has never occurred. People go to competition and seek to get the most kicks. Frisbee and Hoola Hoops dominate the alternative sports scene. This is the world Ken Shults entered into when he got his first footbag for Christmas one year. The rest is history.
This is Ken’s story:
New Footbag Hall of Fame Inductee Announced at Worlds 2013: Becca English-Ross
The Footbag Hall of Fame has another name in their rosters: Becca English-Ross was announced at the Footbag World Championships 2013!
While our own Bruce Guettich was originally going to announce the occasion, the announcement event got moved forward to an earlier day when Bruce wasn’t at the tournament. We did however get time to snap a shot of the two together in front of our sponsorship banner! 🙂
Congratulations to Becca English-Ross and the other Footbag Hall of Fame 2013 Inductees from World Footbag!
