Listen "From Body Flips to Kenflips: The Story of Professional Freerunner, Ben Cante"

Episode Synopsis

Kendama is often compared to other sports like skateboarding, BMX, and yo-yo, but Ben Cante is here to show us how Kendama is so similar to Freerunning, the artistic flow of getting from point A to point B. Ben's journey involves stunting for Disney, jumping over roofs in Paris, and competed internationally as a free runner. Ben, more recently, has dived deep into Kendama and recently competed in the Advanced division at BATB and is eager to keep progressing as a player and community member.
