Recommended Posts

thanks for the plug. it was an awesome event and I had a complete blast competing. just being in the presence of such landmarks as lew sanborn, sheryl sterns, and many more was great.

I cant wait to compete more... and yes that was beer... my FIRST GOLD MEDAL!

Congrats Yoshi!B|

Sorry I didn't get a chance for a 'proper' introduction,
I'm the old guy with the black "Raiders" hat that was talking to ya on the couch!

The best line of the entire evening was when you received the Gold Metal....

Ya had to be there...!

Another competitor was reaching for Yoshi's Metal, thinking it was his...

Yoshi grabs it away and says~

"Don't even TOUCH that...ya gotta EARN those!"

Again congratulations...you showed us 'old guys'
the 'young bucks' can do it despite the winds!
:o

right on...

it was pretty funny all around. I was amazed that I placed first. we placed the exact opposite of experience, and of course I had to show it of to Eric a little bit:P

and what was up with the winds??? I didnt really think it was all that windy (accept for sat morning and early afternoon) what was the cut off for the winds on the classic accuracy comp? I knew by the end of sat that some of the competitors didnt even do a single jump!...

Anyways, Thanks again, and see ya next year!

They were going by the "World Rules" from what I understand...8 meters per second, or some such dribble.

And yeah...it was a long day for us 'Ole Dudes'
I geared up 5 times for one jump!

Here's a couple pics of the day...

The bent flags tell a lot...

The scoring results going across the fields says
even more!
;)

yeah it was pretty breezy, but the we (the swoopers) were still getting plenty of penetration... and I was the only person in the swoop division without a cross braced canopy. (111 crossfire 2 loaded 1.8)

it was definately a sight to see the classics and parafoils backing up the entire set up and flopping down on the tuffet.
