DULUTH - A Wisconsin native has come up with a way for more people to experience the unique sport of log rolling.
Tuesday evening, professional log rollers from Key Log Rolling brought their synthetic log to a Duluth pool with the hope of kick starting a program teaching young people how to do it.
The founder of the log comes from a long line of world champion log rollers, and has turned her hobby into a career traveling across the country making the sport more accessible."It's something that you can do at a recreational level,” said CEO of Key Log Rolling, Abby Hoeschler. “Just throw the log in and goof around with friends, or you can really take it to the next level and compete."
Schools and community centers across the country now teach log rolling thanks to their creation.
