This fairy tale began in the year 2000, when the beauty of the perfect set met the ferociousness of the perfect spike. Still unchallenged at the net as far as height of contact goes, Dave "Dr. Fly High" Bernard has proven himself as a reliable spiker at the last two World Championships, out-jousting every opponent he faced. Last year the final chapter of the story was left unread, sending children, and adults alike, crying to their mothers, as Johnny Leys was sidelined after a season-ending hamstring pull in the semifinals of the World Footbag Championships held in San Francisco's Civic Center. This year, after Bernard's fierce NPR-Style training regiment and Dr. Leys' summer-long underground training in Helsinki, Finland, the book will be re-opened where the story left off as these two put the team back together for Worlds 2002 in San Francisco.
