34) David
Robinson - Dave saw his first Hacky Sack in the summer of 1979.
His best friend, Paul Dieter, brought one home from college. Dave lived in
Boise Idaho at the time and it took about a month before he was addicted.
It was difficult and discouraging at first, and took a few completed
passes in a circle to get him excited. Dave was playing competitive tennis
at the time, but gave it up to play competitive footbag. His achievements include being 6 time runner up World Champion in singles. A 3 time winner in mixed doubles with Tricia Sullivan. A 1 time winner doubles distance one-pass with Scott Cleere. Developed Kanga Footbags. (later bought by yours truly) Toured over 500 schools in Japan, Europe and the US. Toured South Dakota with Peter Shunny, and ate veggie sandwiched out of grocery stores. On the Sports future: I think it's had it's chance to go mainstream and didn't. It will always be a fun, alternative sport for people who appreciate cooperative activities. A few of the wiser ones will see its use in training for other sports and physical fitness. The freestylists will continue to enjoy cult worship and participation. I think it will maintain its present popularity and status as a unusual sport/hobby. |
