This man is tossing the caber to a new generation of heavy event athletes

Caber tossing can take enormous strength and years of technique — two things caber tosser Warren Trask has no shortage of.

The caber tosser has 37 years of experience under his belt playing the a traditional Scottish event, and is hoping to retire soon. But first, he wants to pass the torch on to a new generation of caber tossers.

"More and more people now have a bucket list of what they'd like to try in life and heavy events is one of them but there's really no place where you can do it," Trask said.

To help people learn how to become a caber tosser, Trask said he helped rebuild a school in Fergus, Ont. to give more people a chance to love the sport like he has.

Trask was 19 years old when he was first attracted to the sport, which involves tossing a large tree trunk with the goal of turning it end over end. Tossing the heavy caber for over three decades has taken its toll on his body with aches and pains days after a tournament is over. That's why Trask said he's been thinking of retiring. But it's not easy for him to give up a sport he loves so much.

He was at the Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games on Sunday, participating in yet another tournament in his long career so far.

"I'm either a four or five-time Canadian caber champion," he said. "There's nothing like getting out on that field against the best in your country and coming out ahead. It's just one of those things that is incredible."

He reminisced about his favourite caber tossing memory: the time his son, Jamie, joined the sport.

"He went out and proceeded to turn a caber that I didn't think he could turn... so my favourite memory is being able to pass the torch... If you can teach your own kid to do something and to have them become better than you
