Pastor
Karl Beats Emily Fox!
|
July 24, 2003 Schaumburg, IL - After lunch with Bob Fox, founder of Speed Stacks
Inc., Pastor Karl waited several hours to meet his hero, the WORLD
CUP STACKING CHAMPION, Emily Fox.
She was in town for a high school basketball tournament, and very
graciously accepted Pastor's Karl challenge to a "Stack
Meet." Emily holds the world record of 7.43 on the cycle,
(watch it) and
Pastor Karl's personal best is 10.58. Was it an exercise in
futility to race her? It should have been, but fortunately, even
world champions fumble once in awhile, and this was Pastor Karl's
lucky day! He got to be there and racing her when it happened! You
can watch this fun video and see PASTOR KARL BEAT Emily Fox! (links
to the right) At the end of the video, you will see
Emily holding up one finger and asking, "One more
time!" Many have written and asked if they raced again,
and if they did, what the outcome was. Unfortunately, the ESPN
camera man did not make a video of that second race, and shortly
after Pastor Karl slipped and bumped his head and has no memory of
what happened in that second race. The doctors are stumped as
to how he can remember his victory so vividly, yet have absolutely
no recollection of that second race. It is sad, but those
things happen. However, there is an urban legend circulating
that she did the whole cycle twice faster than he did the
cycle once - but everyone knows you shouldn't believe those
urban legends! So unreliable they are! |

THAT'S EMILY'S IN THE MIDDLE. (The Other Girls are a
softball team who wanted to pose with Emily) Emily's team had just
left for a team meeting, so I didn't get a picture of them, but
they were in Chicago for a
tournament, and one of the teams Emily was on won first place in it's
division! Emily plays in two divisions, sometimes playing on
two teams in the same day! See? It pays to be a
STACKER!
Congratulations, Emily,
on your basketball victory - and for being such a good
sport with your surprise visit from Pastor Karl, and for allowing
him to bask in his victory, but the world knows you're still the
fastest...... for now.

 Also,
I was thrilled to get to finally meet Bob Fox in person! We
enjoyed lunch and swapping Speed Stack stories. I learned a lot
more about the history of the sport and even some stackin' secrets!
 Of course,
we stacked, but as for who won? I'd better not say, I don't want
to embarrass the founder of Speed Stacks. I know, I know, the truth needs to be told!
You are crying out for journalistic integrity, but if I say that I beat
Bob Fox, it wouldn't be nice. I know the public deserves to know the
truth, but you will just have to wonder if Karl really beat Bob
Fox. (twice)
