Fijian Gets Stacking On Vorovoro

Written by: coach - Posted in: World Tour, Fiji

Paul makes his way to the island of Vorovoro Island, Fiji, which is host to the unique community tourism project that is also simultaneously based online. More details at: www.tribewanted.com
After showing Tui Mali, the Fijian Island Chief, and showing much interest, the other members of the Fijian tribe were interested to learn more about the sport as they had
never seen or heard of anything like this.

Sosi stood forward and asked Paul if he could have a go. After taking Sosi through the 3-6-3, he gave it a go and managed to stack it without a fumble. It would have been nice to leave the cups on Vorovoro for the tribe to continue using and practicing, but my cups were needed to complete the World Tour.
It was good to see Sosi stand up and get involved with the cups. Paul made a great bond with the people on Vorovoro, vowing to return before the end of the Tribe Wanted project to see the tribe again and take them a gift of a Speed Stacks pack.

SHOCK NEWS: Stacker Retires From Fatal Injury

Written by: coach - Posted in: World Tour, Fiji

We are sad to announce that Timothy H has suffered an injury which has resulted in him retiring from competitive sport stacking.

The lads were training after arriving in Fiji. They were stacking with intense speed and suddenly Tim buckled over when he twisted both wrists. He knew that something was wrong so went to the doctor in New Zealand to get them checked. The doctor had a look and did a few tests, he found that with his phenomenal developments of speed stacking skills over the past 12 months, it had taken its toll on his wrists and Tim has now been diagnosed with the most fatal injury a stacker could have; ’stackers wrist.’
The doctor says that he can stack again but his wrists will not recover for him to stack as fast as he once did. This now counts him out of any competitve stacking for life.

UK Stack Pack Coach says, “I will be responsible to help Tim in any way possible. I will see if the most advanced physiotherapy can help get him back, but if it looks like his wrists will be put at risk then he certainly won’t be able to stack again.

A great loss to a man with great skill and love for a sport. But also a great loss to the sport, with signs clearly visiable for International stardom and to give something special to the UK.

We wish Tim all the best of luck in making a quick recovery.

English Girl Loves Sport Stacking In Fiji

Written by: coach - Posted in: World Tour, Fiji

Paul and Tim kindly stop a young lady in Nadi, Fiji to find out where there was somewhere good to eat in the Downtown area. It was coincidence that Laura Elizabeth Ball, Manchester was on her way to out for dinner too, so she invited the guys.

During dinner they talked about life, love and cups. Laura was very curious to see the cups, so after dinner, the UK Stack Pack got their cups out for her.

After showing her the different events, Laura took to the cups.
