oxygen 0 #1 June 21, 2005 Just curious guys... But has Heath Richardson left the PD swoop team? I remebered he had some real mean swoops... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre1Lucke 0 #2 June 21, 2005 He is still in 'THE FLIGHT-1 TEAM' so I doubt that he has left PD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcnelson 1 #3 June 21, 2005 i read on here awhile back that he didn't qualify for the tour this year. i didn't do my own research so, take it for what it's worth. maybe he got busy with his FF team."Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccowden 0 #4 June 21, 2005 From what I know, Heath is still a representative of the PD Factory Team but just doesn't do too much competition anymore. He focuses more on coaching now. I am also quite certain that he will reamin a member of the PD team for as long as he wants, no matter what role he might play. I think he has earned it.

justinb138 0 #7 June 21, 2005 QuoteI saw hima swoop a couple of times.... wasn't too impressed. I've seen three meaningless posts of yours in the last five minutes, not to mention many more in the past. Please, do us all a favor and go entertain yourself with a cardboard box or something. And if you really are being serious, search for the video of him swooping a big Navigator. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #10 June 21, 2005 Quote I saw hima swoop a couple of times.... wasn't too impressed. I've seen him swoop as well. Tell you what, if you can take a Navigator 220 a 150ft down a swoop course and make it look easy, then you can badmouth him. What impresses me about Scott Miller is his consistancy, everytime the same way and it doesn't seem to matter what he's jumping, a nice swoop happens. But I'm sure with 400 jumps you're a MUCH better swooper then he is anyways.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Sort of like a certain badass swooper of the same company and coaching team...Scott Miller. And don't leave out John Leblanc. He was in the first swoop meet that I watched (Daytona 5000), swooping with a Vengeance soon after their introduction. He was showing that you can swoop and get some good surf without radical input.

CanuckInUSA 0 #13 June 21, 2005 QuoteBut I'm sure with 400 jumps you're a MUCH better swooper then he is anyways. Come now AggieD ... isn't it common knowledge that a 400 jump wonder would be able to out-swoop a PST qualified swooper. I can't wait to become a 400 jump wonder. Oops ... too late ... I already was a 400 jump wonder a couple of years ago. Now that I have more jumps and am a competitive swooper, I know that I'm NOT all that. Shit I'm still struggling to crack the top five (I'm in 6th) to make it to the CPC championships this September (and I can be seen yeilding a billy-club ready to take the knees out from my closest CPC competition ... or Spizzzarko ... whoever is easier).

koz2000 1 #15 June 21, 2005 Quotei read on here awhile back that he didn't qualify for the tour this year. i didn't do my own research so, take it for what it's worth. According to the PST web site he is still on tour and does not need a recertification. However he didn't qualify for the World Cup, (only 10 from the US qualify).

GQ_jumper 4 #17 June 22, 2005 Tell you what, if you can take a Navigator 220 a 150ft down a swoop course and make it look easy, then you can badmouth him. Quote It looked to me like it was set up as a zone accuracy course, aren't those usually 180 feet from the entry gates to the first scoring zone? or am I way off? Either way 150 feet on a nav 220 is awesome, kind of a nice little goal to shoot for on my 210 before i consider downsizing(i doubt i'll be gettin 150ft+ anytime soon but it proves that if i'm not consistently over 100ft i have no buisness on something smaller )History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

My apologies. From everything I've heard Scott Miller is pretty badass.
