Cool that BAP has a site of their own!

Can’t wait to hear the story from 97 and forth.

I like reading the history. Only about 3/4 through reading it.

Many of the nicknames are wrong there, so don't take it too seriously.

Which nicknames are wrong Honza?

I run the site and I took the current member roster from a Ken Somolinos post on here from a couple of months ago.

If any of the information is wrong, I would greatly appreciate being informed (as I asked to be on the site).

Thanks.

Whoops, my bad.

When I made my post, I inserted a couple inside jokes in there, which apparently slipped under the radar.

Ryan's BAP name was "regulator." Red came up with that nickname, and that was his nickname when he got into BAP. In the year 2000, Scott Davidson made BAP trading cards, and for some reason messed up Ryan's card, labelling him "the Equalizer" for no apparent reason. Lots of people made fun of Ryan for a while by calling him by this new name, since he hated it (Scott and Ryan were big routine rivals at this time). On Aggressive Grounds, you can hear Jon Schneider yell out "Equalizer!" when Ryan starts his Shred 45.

Also, Scott Bevier's name is Gordon Scott Bevier. Not "Scordo."

That's another joke. For a while, Scott was getting annoyed at everybody asking him which name he preferred to be called, Scott or Gordon. So he replied "Scordo," a nickname which a few of us revived at 2005 Worlds after hearing his story.

Dave Holton was inducted with the nickname "HUmboldt," but he disliked it. He preferred "Highlander"

Jim Penske was originally inducted with the nickname "Speedracer" I believe, but I'm not 100% sure. I've also heard "Kingpen", "pimpske," and my personal favorite: "the great American Hope."

From 2004 Jere is "Scary" and Toni is "the Beast" afaik.

Post by **Allan** » 24 Oct 2005 18:40

Confirmations on that?

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 24 Oct 2005 19:00

Yeah its Scary Jere, but I never heard the beast for toni

sampotter · Post by **sampotter** » 24 Oct 2005 21:47

Someone should dig up the old Worlds 2004 BAP thread somewhere on here. It has all of the correct BAP names that were given I believe.

Webslinger · Post by **Webslinger** » 25 Oct 2005 00:25

I think and I am pretty sure:
Ales is not Superman, but "The man of steel"
Jim is "Speedracer"
Vasek prefers "Super glue" because he finds golden child absolutelly unoriginal.
I just want to mention that TKO means technical knock out and not total knock out like most of the people think.
In 2004 after the Bap inductions and after almost every bap member went to bar( No offense, I know that drinking is very important and choosing new bap names would delay it for another 10 minutes ) we chose for Dylan nickname "Fritzek" , but nobody knows that and I guess it is probably not official because there was just like last 4 of us.
I have NO idea about J money and I would really like to know who came up with it because I have never heard it.
Mikko's nickname should be spelled like this- Unikko

Johnny has been called J Money for a long time, I spoke with him on MSN a year or so ago about what his BAP name should be, he said he liked Magic Feet, but he is reputed by the name J Money (origionaly givin to him by Floyd Morgan formerly of New Zealand I believe?) for a long time now.

I've updated this, but I also emailed Dylan asking him to tell me what's up.

Mikko emailed me last night and told me to change it to how it is there now

Thanks very much Honza. You da man!! I'm looking forward to buying a copy of your new video when it gets to Freedom Footbags ...

Ianek also emailed me last night with a bunch of changes -- Thanks Ianek
