That's RIGHT! i forgot!! OK, I RE-extended my chest strap and got the JVX back. Cancel the retirement party, hold the gold watch... til next year.

I do know one guy who made the cut. He's getting his video ready.
I don't think he wants people to know. He's pretty humble.

-1 more but I only really did it for the lottery dream :-P

I have been running around picking up the scraps of mikes chest strap and selling them on ebay

I didn't make it either, what a scam!

We need to put this strap on tour- and give everyone a chance to see the legend.

I thought for sure I would be picked being in an area where there are no competitions, no records for the state, no signifigant gear manufacturers around and full on ceesna's as far as you can throw a bolder.

Now I'm just confused

Attached is my application. Nada. I have no idea what their standards were, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

You might have gotten further with ten more of those and some top shelf liquor.

A strap-on tour?

I didn't realize you guys were into that kind of thing...

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

The only name I have actually heard who made the first cut was Tommy Delibac JR. He totally deserves it.

So is this new team 'one step below' the current pd team in terms of skill? Or will they be considered equal?

While I don't pretend to know what the PDFT's end game is, I don't believe they are 'one step below'. Some names on that list have significant accomplishments in the competitive arena (Nick, Tommy, Jess, Marat, etc).

Judging from the list, there's a good group with a variety of strengths in a variety of areas. I think it'll be interesting to see how the PDFT mold the final four.

Time will tell

Congrats Ian (and everybody else in the final 15), very cool!

I can picture Simon Cowell sitting next to the swoop pond at the X-Factor Project tryouts critiquing every landing 'I've seen grannies in motorized chairs in Walmart turn smoother than that!'

[tetra316 0]

Fastrax is not a PD team right? And does Jim no longer have a team?

The only other teams I can think of are Icarus (Evolution) and the red bull team (but they are more of a skydiving team, not swooping right).


Sorry if I'm a little slow on the uptake Just trying to get a picture of where all this fits in.

[matthewcline 0]

Fatrax is a PD Supported/Sponsored Team, kind of an independant Team.

Matt

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

As Matthew said they're a PD sponsored team, but are not part of the factory team. John Hart owns, and sponsors the team. Stu, Scott, Isaiah or Kaz can probably answer that question better though

And does Jim no longer have a team?

It would appear so. Last I saw the team was Micheal Stevens, Nick B, and Jessica E. At least 2 of those 3 have applied for this project. I don't know what Team Extreme's plans are at this stage. I'll be seeing them in South Africa soon, so I'll be asking aobut this myself

congrats Ian and all the rest. Ian, tell the truth, did this picture seal the deal for you getting a spot at tryouts??

Cause i think you got NO room to make fun of Stu anymore

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
