bbarnhouse 0 #1 October 28, 2006 Results just in and it was exciting to watch! Arizona Arsenal takes the gold in round 6 with 58 points. Altinex takes the silver with 57 points. The bronze was won by Team Lodi scoring 41. Congratulations to all ! A huge thank you to Melissa Nelson for coming up with idea in the first place, as well as Team Mandrin for pushing it forward.

sclosoma 0 #2 October 28, 2006 Good job to everybody! But a special shout out to my boys from Lodi, for only 7 days of training you guys did amazing!

ltdiver 3 #8 October 30, 2006 It was amazing to watch, especially, IMHO, the videoflyer's skill and angles. Hat's off to Arizona Arsenal's cameraflyer! She kicked everyone's ass! Impressive!! I especially liked the enthusiasm of Team Lodi. They erupted in a very noisy happy dance after their final round locked them into a medal. The whole house lost it and we actually got scolded by the chief judge for being so loud they couldn't communicate back in the fish bowl to judge the two remaining (gold and silver) teams! I think we're ALL going to enjoy watching this discipline grow. 60+ FS (belly flyer) teams this year. Anyone want to make a guess how many VRW (VFS) teams there will be in SDC?! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
