Please say hello to Andrew and ask him if he has an extra pair of fingers that he can borrow to me so I could fly my Yak as he did in the Extreme.

Hello every one!!!

I just have an important thing to say:

In life somethimes thing don't look the way they should, yesterday in the etoc
it hapens something that get me a little bit upset, because for some reason
it looks like i did something that i should't, i was having alot of fun i flew for
my self and i put a lot effort into this ,very hard work, a lot of practice, a lot of
non sleeping nigths,a lot of preparing, a lot of people involved into this, and
i saw too many times the videos from last year etoc in wich tree pilot went into
the center (chip, john glezellis , josh glavin) and yesterday i decided to do the
same because i got the croud with me, it was my moment, i was flying awesome
and i did it, get into and what do i get a CERO!!! , but you know what

I FLEW THE FLIGTH OF MY LIFE!!!

no matter what happen with my score i proved myself that i could do it, i proved to the world that when you put your hart (CORAZON!!) on what you do, no matters what others migth think it matters what i felt and who i'm i ,and for shure i will keep in my hart all of the great moments i lived in does two minutes with all the people
who saw my fligth i dedicate my effort to them, remember that i give always my 100% and yesterday i gave more......

thanks alot for this experience and i'm sure all of us know that i did it

SUPER GREAT!!!!!!

MEXICO wins, yes i win the oportunity to be with does who i admire and to share
a little bit of what Manuel Santos is.

no more contest for me next year i had my family to attend TE Quiero ELISA....

sincerely Manuel......

Manuel sorry to hear this...Can you explain why you get zero? As i understand you get 0 if your plane cross safety line, if you come to center i don't see nothing bad in this. Maybe rules changed since last year, but then all pilots should be informed about this. Did any of other pilots came to center? Sorry i not really understand you came to center in freestyle round right?

I did not saw any videos yet but i know you did all what depends on you, you should be proud of what you accomplish!!!

Best wishes Donatas,

Due to Manuel last post, i revised the rules of competition http://www.tntlandinggear.com/store/shop/ETOC1.htm, and i don't see anything wrong with the freestyle routine. I dont want to make polemic about this, just trying to figure out what happen...

One thing i agree, that was YOUR moment, and nobody cant take that out of you (ni con chochos te lo quitan)...Asi que una vez mas:


FELICIDADES K, volaste P.M.

Manolo

I´m very sorry to hear that you are so disapointed and sad. I share with you your feelings about being at the same time happy and proud of yourself.

You put a lot of time and hard work for this contest!!! I just can tell you that you did it great, you flew the best flight of your life and you have a lot of friends and partenrs that recognize that you put all your heart in this.... and that´s all you should care about.

It seems you weren´t aware of the whole bunch of rules, but you know more than anyone that life gives us plenty of oportunities to learn from it and become better persons every day.

In my heart and soul I know this flight was to honor you father, don´t let anything, and I mean anything, diminish your effort and your acomplishments, feel proud of yourself because the angels in heaven and along them your father are very proud of you.

Here at home, your family and friends are waiting for you, so we can celebrate toghether your triumph. Thank´s God this is over and we are blessed to have you again in our lifes.

Manuel climbed his first tree all by himself today, and Valentina is already smiling, peruchis misses you A LOT!!!, greto and cachemira as always, and Mariana is back from her trip already (got you some goodies), your Mom, Beba and Ale dont miss any minute and also are waiting for you, and I want my man back at home, I want him to rest and be himself again without all the presure and tierdness hanging over him.

Your coming back will be an amazing party!!!


TE QUIERO!!!, Elisa.
