RedDevil1102 0 #1 September 3, 2005 So everybody, what are the opinions on who will win. Does anybody think Airspeed will take both 4 and 8 this time.The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #2 September 3, 2005 My opinion only. Keep i nmind I have only competed in 4 way once. I think that Airspeed and the Golden KNights will end up in the Silver and Bonze spots in 4 way, Fire is just on a roll, so the gold will be theirs to lose. In 8 way I think the Golden knights get gold and Airspeed Silver. Airspeed has so much going on that I think 8 way will suffer a bit for it. But since the Knights train away from the public eye the could pull off the double Gold since thay have a very veteran RW team and some of the old 8-way Gold medalists from events of the past. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #3 September 4, 2005 The knights have only put in 150 training jumps this year for 8 way, Airspeed has been training at it all year and has far more training jumps than the Knights. I think the Knights will make a good pressence but not a gold medal one.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

matthewcline 0 #4 September 4, 2005 They say 150 trianing jumps but you gotta beleive there is far more to it than that. If Airspeed wins it is by 2 points after 10 rounds.

RedDevil1102 0 #5 September 4, 2005 You both are probably right, but I think the knights might suprise alot of us. Especially in 4 way.The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #6 September 5, 2005 One thing about the Knights, they have a lot of talent on their team when it comes to flying ability, but one thing that has hurt them in past competitions was there dive engineering wasn't the best. At the world class level dive engineering can make all the difference.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

UKFSChick 0 #8 September 5, 2005 Didn't Airspeed beat the Knights at 8-way one year 'back in the day' having done practiically no training jumps at all? Proves training is over-rated... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #9 September 5, 2005 Airspeed did beat the Knights but I do not think it waswith out any training jumps. Both teams are at the top of the sport in 4 and 8 way. So this willo be fun to follow. Being a soldier I am am a bit biased on who I am chearing for. I have gotten to jump with memebsr of both teams but my work clothes still say US.

GQ_jumper 4 #11 September 6, 2005 Didn't Airspeed beat the Knights at 8-way one year 'back in the day' having done practiically no training jumps at all? Quote yes they did, and have since become an unstoppable 8-way force, i think its going to be one hell of a battle. In 4 way the top three teams are putting up one hell of a battle, and Fastrax has definitely come a long way in the last few months. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow And of course I have to give props to my tunnel camp instructors, Neal Andy and Kirk battling their way back to the podium after having a few penalties in the first three rounds, they can pass Fastrax and get back up there.

And the Knights have really picked up the pace pulling ahead of fire, they would have been at the top from the beginning but I'm not on the team yetHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
