dgskydive 0 #2 June 21, 2004 THanks again Justin! It was fun. I am glad you guys got your first taste of real competition. Not to bad for only 4 team training jumps! Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyyhi 0 #3 June 21, 2004 QuoteNot to bad for only 4 team training jumps! Dude, you guys whooped some serious ass on the teams that were in your division. . .I guess tunnel rats can fly. . .lol! SSL rocked. . .It was my first time competing and I didn't even know I was competing till 8 p.m. on Friday night. . .what a rush. . . The folks at Elsinore really came through getting us all on loads to finish the competition by sunset. It was tough since we didn't get the first load in the air till around 12:30 - with 16 teams, that made it quite tight. . .but man was it a blast. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #4 June 21, 2004 Thanks Darcy. Tunnel Rats can fly. I think Eliana from Airspeed proved that. It was really fun especially since we where actually down 2 points going into round 5. The Equinox boys where really cool, they came up and shook my hand before they even posted the round 6 scores. I guess they saw our video before we did and knew we had beat them. I think we ended up winning by 3 or 4 points. That 12 in the last round! I saw some of your guys jumps. Not to bad. I guess all the jumps you have been doing with MJ have been paying off! Plus you had Lito as your ring leader! I love that little guy!Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
