skykittykat 0 #151 July 16, 2006 I am on of those peeps who have a "blind" belief in Airspeed and know that they are not infallible. They can really pull it out of the bag. For expample, the World Cup 2005 in Eloy - their skydiving was not pretty and watching each and every round was pure torture as I knew they were "over the line" on each jump and they were very, very close to having a disastrous meet, but they pulled it off... I would put money on there being a jump-off in 8-way at the World Meet with Airspeed winning. I will take this opportunity to declare my personal favrourites taken from overall skill and personalities: (before my non-biased reporting from my live reporting from www.omniskore.com 8-Way - Airspeed and France - Airspeed to take Gold (to Manu and Guillerme - Non, is that leetle Kirk???) Women's 4-way (disagree with the segregration...) The French Girls I hope will win (they just posted a 19 point average from their last comp) with the Russian Ladybirds coming 2nd. The Ukranian chicks are very sweet and hope they achieve whatever goal they have. 4-Way Open - Sinapsi v Fire for Gold - much as I like both teams, Brazil has a soft spot in my heart.

GQ_jumper 4 #152 July 17, 2006 Why are the odds stacked against Airspeed?Quote As Ron said, AS knows how to pull it out when it counts but so do the French, the French team has the experience as a team, the new lineup with AS, yes they have done an insane number of training jumps this year, every time I'd make it to Eloy this year I'd sit in on their debriefs and could see the improvement and they're looking amazing but unfortunately this will be the first international comp that this new lineup has together. Basically if someone were to place odds on this competition for betting they would definitely be in France's favor. But as history has shown us many times don't ever count out the underdog especially when that underdogs name is Airspeed, so like I've mentioned before while the world meet is going on i'm going to be glued to the computer scream pushing the refresh button on omniskore every five seconds chewin my nails off and screamin "GO USA" the whole time, this is probably going to be one of the biggest battles that we've seen to date, other countries are becoming far more competitve than in the past and we are no longer the major superpower in the sport. But having stiffer competition is a good thing, it just means that we have to work that much harder to stay on top of our opponents. Well folks, i'm going to go back to bed for now, i'm still recovering from last night(not to mention trying to remember half of last night), it was one fo those nights, looking at myself ow i have bruises all over my arms and legs and absolutely no idea where they could've come from!!History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

GQ_jumper 4 #161 July 23, 2006 2. The French beat Airspeed in 05 at the Malevsky meet.Quote One thing about that though is I think AS is more prepared going into the WM than they were at the Malevsky cup last year. This year they've only done 8 way, last year they were doing both, and if i remember correctly they only lost by one point that meet.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GQ_jumper 4 #162 July 23, 2006 I just double checked, it was one oint between AS and the French last year, they were tied going into the final round.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skykittykat 0 #163 July 23, 2006 QuoteThats interesting, would have thought they were 'on the line' but close to the edge if they pulled it off. Maybe you know their skydiving style better than me, i didn't see the jumps, were they busting and stuff? They weren't busting, but they were very crashy - very, very unlike their usual style. As I reported at the time on Omniskore, the French looked like that they were dancing, whereas Airspeed looked anything but... Knowing their skydiving style, to me they looked like there was an element of desperateness. I asked a couple of the Airspeed peeps afterwards what had been going on and they said that they were over the line and it was touch and go as to whether they would crash and burn totally or triumph. Airspeed is one of those teams who can go against the psycological grain and triumph. I don't know how they did it, but they did. I am sure that all of those rounds would not make their "personal best" tape, but somehow as a team they made it work for that competition. Looking forward to a cracking competition at the World Meet in 8-way.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GQ_jumper 4 #165 July 24, 2006 so they sucked and still won... Quote and the funny thing is pretty much any of them would agree with that statement, actually if you look at it a bit differently it could be considered one of their top performances, remeber you get points for speed not style, and being able to perform that far over the line without losing it takes talent. But as we all know flying clean ups the score too, you just have to find that happy medium. Their WC performance though was a far cry from their flyin at nats last year whcih was as I put it to Kirk, "nationals between you and the Knights last year was like a one legged ass kicking contest, and Airspeed brought an extra leg!"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
