It's the newest sport that's sweeping the nation- slippery stairs. Like the best athletic pursuits, it is charmingly simple, but frustratingly complicated. Thankfully we have Paul Higgins, the mastermind behind Slippery Stairs to explain all.
Slippery Stairs has taken the world by storm and is one of the most popular sports to hit ESPN8 the Ocho.
With events across the world and new challenges being added all the time, this sport is limitless in its climb to the top.
Of course, Heidi and Luke are ready to take each other on, and are already strategizing on their takedowns. If you haven't experienced the marvel that is this race, let us explain. Not only do competitors need to make their way up the truly slippery stairs, as they ascend there are items being thrown at them from the top to avoid, along with fellow climbers attempting to take them down.
It is an intense, hilarious, and sometimes frustrating competition that everyone can get on board with.
We asked Paul some inside tips for climbing, as well as how he conceived of creating this as a sport. It's a great conversation and an epic tale that's fascinating, fun. His story is also the perfect reminder of why we do what we do and that truly anything is possible.
