Are you ready to get
Nasty!
Footstock 2006 is set to be one of the most exciting barefooting events in
the nation this year. We're expecting over 130 competitors. Team
Barefoot Central plans to attend again this year. There team includes
the likes of Aaron Schoelzel, Keith St. Onge, Mike Salber, Tony Buonaiuto,
and Bill Brzoza.
This
year, for the first time in Footstock history, top international skiers from
Australia and New Zealand will be competing. The 3-Event Barefoot
Worlds are 2 weeks after Footstock, so the Aussies have decided to come to
the states early so they can get a taste of our beer, our women, and more
importantly, our Footstock CASH!
Peter O'Neil and Brett New,
both ski on the Australian Elite Barefoot Team.
These two guys are the heart and sole of the Australian barefoot team. They
each have years of international experience and are skiing at the very top
levels of the sport.
Brett New is a World Record
Holder in Barefoot Jumping and is currently Australia's #1 ranked jumper, #7
in Tricks and #3 in Slalom. Brett is known for his silky smooth supper long
one-handed jumping style. Peter is known as "Newy" to his friends.

a video of Brett Jumping.
Peter "Petty" O'Neil is
Australia's top barefoot tricker. He is also tops in slalom and jump. Peter
runs a barefoot school in Australia and trains nearly every competitive
Australian footer.
Ryan Groen is representing New Zealand in his first Elite Worlds. He's the
son of World Barefoot Council Member, and New Zealand barefoot champions
Fred & Brenda Groen. Fred & Brenda are unable to attend this year's Worlds
due to a near fatal barefoot jumping fall experienced by Brenda earlier this
year. Ryan is representing his family and country in their absence.
He's a tough and nails New Zealander and will no doubt
make a great Figure-8 competitor.
The Aussies are known for skiing hard and partying hard. So they should fit
right in with the Footstock crowd. They are all tough as nails and will ski
until their arms fall off. But one thing they have never done is line up on
the starting dock of the biggest Figure-8 competition in the World against a
90 lb Wisconsin raised girl
with a desire to hand out another pink shirt.
For
those of you who haven't spent much time speaking to an Australian, they are
known for talking fast and us a lot of slang. To help you out, we've
put together a quick list of Australian slang terms that you may hear during
their visit. We may also need to provide them with a list of Wisconsin
"Cheese Head" lingo. If anyone has some, send it on and we'll post it.
