I think the 'pub' might be the best place to open this conversation, as whilst this is very closely linked to the barefoot style of running, and minimalism, and the Raramuri, and Born to Run, it is not EXACTLY to do with barefoot running
I just wanted to sound out what the general opinion of BRS members is on TrailBall?
Some of you will already be aware that this is an infant sport invented by our own Christian Harberts, BRS French Chapter President, based loosely on Rarahipa, the ancient ball game played by the Tarahumara Indians in the Copper Canyons?
More details can be found here: www.trailball.net/en, and on our own forum here: http://www.thebarefootrunners.org/threads/trailball.13870/ (doesn't translate well on Bing, sorry.)
A number of TrailBalls are already in circulation around the world, and challenges have taken place between teams in France and the UK - with France always winning so far!
I am trying to convince Christian that the way forward is to put the balls he has in stock in France on general sale to interested people, and then organise time trial competitions to take place around the world?
I am thinking that this could be a BRS Chapter Challenge maybe?
So, my question is shown above.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Paul
