GQ_jumper 4 #1 October 15, 2006 What are everyone's predictions for nationals in a few weeks? I think the three powerhouse 4 way teams are going to be the two Airspeed lineups and the pickup team with Shannon, Ian, Gary, and Solly(not sure what they are callin themselves yet). I think the pickup team will probably be a bit ahead of the powr curve as three of them have been training as a 4 way team all year, and their point..... well it's Solly, what else needs to be said. AS Odessey does have quite a bit of continuity as a team though, going on three years now, and even though Velocity recently lost Kirk as their outside Thomas will be filling the slot and he is every bit as capable with Natasha flying point. That lineup has nothing but potential. Also, unless I'm mistaken this will be the first time we get to see the new GK lineup in action, should be a good show. There's quite a few good lookin teams in open class this year, I wish I could be there in person to watchHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

jmpwme 0 #6 October 16, 2006 Pretty good summary - but lets not leave Fasttrax out of the mix. From a distance, it appears to be a 4 team race. Also of interest, is the race for the next tier of teams. AZ thunder, Dallas Thunder, Fury, Gravity and Defiance. Some really good weekend teams in there (Note: Gravity and Fury are more than weekend teams, no debate on this point intended here). It will be interesting to see where the Knights fall in this mix. I would not put it past them to be a sleeper in that top 4, perhaps it should be a top 5. Haven't heard much form the Advanced class teams this year. Could be some sleepers and some very good pick-up teams in attendance. Sorry I'm gonna miss it this year. Steve GT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mischo 0 #7 October 16, 2006 Hi Steve, As far as the advanced field goes there are a bunch of good teams. K2, Onyx, Divewerks, O2 project, Carolina Ice, theres more teams out there as well. I hear that Perris Voltage is pretty good. Heal up and get back on the horse next year. Mish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #8 October 16, 2006 Pretty good summary - but lets not leave Fasttrax out of the mix. From a distance, it appears to be a 4 team race. Quote I think if there's going to be a 4th powerhouse team this year it's going to be the Knights before Fasttrax, even though we haven't heard anything about the new GK lineup this year the fact remains that they have had an entire year to do nothing but train, and their two centers are both very experienced. When you have nothing but time and funding you're going to get good. The big card stacked against them is that this will be their first meet as a team. Fasttrax, Mark and Doug are a couple of my hero's and the team has come a long way this year, but you're only as fast as your slowest guy.......They did score a 21+ at the WC in Russia, but all year we've been look at 22-23 averages to win meets. I don't think I'll be puttin money on any specific team this year, and next year is going to be even better.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 matthewcline 0 #9 October 17, 2006 If I am not mistaken this won't be the first time the 2006 GK team competes. They won Gold in 4-way Men and Women's classes in the CISM meet (the Team split and added a few others to do this I think). The roster may be a bit different than it started in Nov of last year, but no doubt it is full of National and International experience and Gold Medals. I am even willing to bet they hit the podium, if not I will buy a beer for you. Matt P.S. It was freaken cold out the ramp of the C-130 Friday! But at least I got to jump the 135 instead of the Sigma for a change! Nothing like swooping the turn in point.An 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 #10 October 17, 2006 Good point, I had forgotten about that meet, but like you said it wasn't the same lineup that will be competing next week.

It's been great fun and an awesome learning experience for everyone involved in the Fury 8-way project teams. Keep your eye on Octagon in open 8-way...if they skydive to their potential, they'll be in medal-hunting territory! And if Moxie doesn't medal...well...we're still the greatest bunch of chicks out there. I agree...there might be some good pickup teams in advanced this year, but I love that surprise element.

A birdy told me that the line up is not what I expected....When questioned, the birdy flew the coup. Almost unlimited resources and the ability to drag back some of the best skydivers on the planet. Fury/Gravity...Well the last SSL meet shows that these two are about as evenly matched as possible. Should be fun to watch them slug it out. Mass D has three years togther. And they have a good plan. 2004 they did a 12.8 with 10 points lost to video (13.8). 2005 a 15.4.

Phugoid did a 15.7 with 5 lost to video, Billy can do a 20 on his head. Rodney is no slouch. AZ Thunder. Rumor has it they will not be showing. But that could change. I hope so since they did a good year and the Nats would be a nice cap on it. Synchronicity. 4 hot chicks (How YOU doin'? ) with some very good scores posted. Dallas Thunder.

It would be cool to see a team go from start to finish in what, 3 years?, and be comfortable choosing Open. We've had a longer and harder road and still will go Intermediate (only broke 10 once this short season). It'll be a blast in any case. ...

ASO, ASV, FT, DDT, GK I agree with Ron's predictions of a scrap between those 5 teams for the medals. ASO - look at the World Cup last year and they had very little training. ASV - the Valentines Meet this year, they had only done 5 or 6 training jumps together as a 4-way and did incredibly well with an excellent average all things considered. I would presume that the new line-up have done more than 6 training jumps so far!!! Natasha will definitely not slow anyone down (don't know who insinuated that one). There will be a total wild card team in 8-way, which will be an exciting surprise and make the Open class very interesting. Don't know the full details, so will have to wait for registration to find out.

rehmwa 2 #19 October 17, 2006 QuoteUnless they changed since I last talked to them, Divewerkz is competing in Open. I have no clue as to their AAA progression this year, if I'm understating their advancement this year, then my bad.
