Amanduh 0 #26 May 16, 2005 Brits beat Yoshi in round 1 by 100 points. Had to say it..just had to...BWAHHAHAA! Congrats once again, Yoshi! You are rockin out dude! Also, congrats to all participants..Everyone did a great job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Brains 2 #27 May 16, 2005 QuoteCongrats Glad everyone had a safe time. Does someone have the results for each round (scores, distances, zones, etc)? Nice job dude! Blues, Ian Levin would have that information. I want to point out that Yoshi was one of two competitors NOT flying a X-braced wing. Everyone was safe, i did not see a single person even think about digging out of any turns. Pics later today, i still use that "film" stuff. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

I have really toned things down quite a bit. I was way to into the idea of swooping when I first started and decided I wanted to push my limits, and almost pushed them beyond my physical boundries. everyone throughout the comp made significant progress. it was pretty amazing to see the improvement in 6 jumps. not to mention it was a great time hanging with everyone in the down time. brit: you definately smoked my distance 1 round by over 100 feet, and have the smalled canopy in the comp. way to go on placing 4th! cant wait till the next one. -yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

Thanks to Aggieland for hosting this on such short notice. We had 7 competitors register for the first meet. We had 8-14mph winds throughout most of the day. Many of the compettors got hosed in the distance and zone accuracy events. Fortunately the winds died down to 0mph for the speed round. The results from the meet are as follows... DISTANCE: 1.
