I also think the new Airspeed guys have been selected for the team based on the evaluation of those seasoned world champions that they will be able to hack it. Fire didn't beat the Knights at a world level (did they? was it an NSL thing?), the pressure is not the same. But I guess that's why competition is so much more exciting at that level, the pressure is that much more, no-one really knows what they can do until they get there. It will definitely be something to watch and root for all the new guys, just being there is quite an incredible achievement. But I hope that explains my vote.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Ron 7 #33 June 8, 2005 You said: "as a team they have NO experience on the world stage". Fire: Garry is the current World Champion. Shannon and Ian have done 20's years ago, and as a team Fire has already done a 20. Airspeed no doubt is a class act. Airspeed Odyssey: Andy Delk, never been to the WM. But has posted a 20 already. Craig Girard, a Legend former GK with tons of EXP. Brian Johnson, never been, posted a 20 already. Eliana Rodriguez, Never been for 4way at this level, but clearly no slouch already a World Champion in 8way. AS Velocity: Andy Honigbaum, never been for 4way Neal Houston, Again Legend. Dennis Rook, never been for 4way Kirk Verner, Original AS member from 1994. Maybe one of the most experienced jumpers around. I don't see any line up that has much more experience than the others. Now why did I choose Fire? Well I don't see much of a line up difference where one has that much more than another. But AS is also training 8way. Fire is only doing 4way. Plus, I have known Shannon and Ian since I started jumping. I did a team with Brian Johnson, and I consider him a friend, but Natasha is cuter than Brian."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GQ_jumper 4 #34 June 8, 2005 I cannot wait to see what happens to this thread when they start posting the first scores Quote chaos will ensue!! and i will be at the center of all of it instigating the whole thingHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

This is the first time their team dynamics will be tested at the world level. And even though Airspeed does have 2 new members the rest of the team went through this together last year in the 8 way event. I think that may play a big role in how they are able to pull through the added stress as a team. just my opinionHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

GQ_jumper 4 #35 June 9, 2005 One thing to add is that even though the members of Fire do have a lot of experience, they don't have experience at this level of competition TOGETHER. This is the first time their team dynamics will be tested at the world level. And even though Airspeed does have 2 new members the rest of the team went through this together last year in the 8 way event. I think that may play a big role in how they are able to pull through the added stress as a team. just my opinionHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

arlo 0 #36 June 9, 2005 there are as many members of fire that have competed together on a world level as there are members of odyssey that have. shannon and ian are teammates from, what i consider to be, one of the best gel-ing teams ever. genesis/blue had an incredible magic that i haven't really seen duplicated. eliana and craig competed on a world level together doing 8-way. kirk, neal, dennis and andy all competed together on a world level but doing 8-way. bottom line is that all 3 teams are outstanding, all are solid, and all of them hold each of the other teams in very high regard. i don't see any of them getting too stressed over anything. when they all give their personal best, the win will be secondary. all i can say is that russia is gonna see some of the best skydiving EVER. good luck and best of meet to each of the teams competing. good times and enjoy the ride.

rehmwa 2 #37 June 9, 2005 Nicely put, Arlo. I don't see an edge in experience in the teams' rosters. Confusing the longevity of the legacy when compared to the specific team lineups is a normal mistake. ...

dgskydive 0 #38 June 9, 2005 I just checked my Magic 8 Ball and the Tarot cards. Both of them said I should have taken my team to the meet. We would have scored 22 avg. and won the meet by 20 points.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #39 June 9, 2005 Dom you forgot to notice that decimal, that's a 2.2 average and a 20 point loss not lead i know sometimes the edge of the little 8ball thingy gets kinda blurry. i once got kill and kick mixed up on the magic 8 ball(good story), it happens!!History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
