BB - See Bob when you're out there! Tell him you're uploading videos for FG and need to get on the flightline, he'll hook you up. Thanks for the footage dude!! Also, make sure to hook up with Tank out there, you can't miss him! He's a cool dude. We should have the webcaster up and running for Friday's goings on... Stay tuned

I was out there yesterday and there was some excellent flying going on. I was just disappointed with the freestyles. Mark Leesburg perfomed an AWESOME routine the first day. It was one of those WOW freestyles. All the others were just plain and not what I would think "Master" pilots would perfom at such a high level contest. Now granted there is no way I could fly like these guys but I was just expecting some more balls out flying like Mark did. I dont know, maybe others have different opinions about it or maybe it was just the first day and they are all holding out for today and tomorrows rounds since they will eliminate half the field tomorrow.

I bet its the "hold back till it counts" kind of thing...

Like playing chess... you don't want to drop the Big dogs until you HAVE to.
Also, I'm sure a crash in the early stages would suck as well..
BUT.. props to Beavis for having some stones!!

2 airplanes will never fly the same, plus, you gotta leave a surprise factor for the next round of freestyles, if you go balls to the wall first round then its not near as exciting 2nd round, and might not look like any improvement.

I think with the Freestyles its about covering the criteria not wowing the crowd.
