Hey Guys, Thanks for your support. But honestly, QQ had it the whole time... He's a machine. As for me touching in the 1st round... I know it was really close and I was holding my breath waiting for it to come around there. but, I didn't see, or feel it touch. (and i know what it feels like when it hits.) I have also seen pictures and close up video showing a small gap. I don't mean this in a "full-of-myself way" because i'll admit i didn't want to go that low. And i definatly dumb-thumbed it in the 2nd round when i basicly landed. But I do see how it people would see it as a touch.. But when a plane hits ground, there is a distinct bounch. And I didn't see one. That probably sounds bad coming from me. (as the pilot) But it's how i saw it. But, QQ won (never touched, ever). and IMO I don't think I beat Jason Noll. I still havnt figured out how my freestyle scores higher than his, because his is the most complicated free I have ever seen, and he pulls it off perfect every time. Blows my mind. I know mine are not very technical, or planed for the criteria. But freestyle is just my way of relaxing after flying IMAC. and I enjoy goofing off for a few minutes. I really am amazed that I placed in the top 5... All in all We had fun. and that's the point of TAS. -Kyle- |

Kyle, Do you want to share with us what QQ told you today? I will share what he told me. "Kyle is the future of freestyle, he is very smooth and his tail always follows the plane. He is never out of control" That is high praise. |

Kyle, it was great meeting you and I was amazed by your super talent, even though you didn't end up singing. From our perspective you are definitely the master of illusion out there in that dirt, you had my heart pounding out of my chest a few times. Here's a close up of what was probably your "lowest" moment! Keep up the great work and awesome attitude!! Hope to see you fly again soon. momo still on Hwy 10 |

I have to agree with the guys that want to see a true FREESTYLE<,, my point is that it is getting sort of boring if people really do the criteria as Jason Noll explained,,, for example I watched some of the people do there freestyle's and in my opinion it wasn't really a freestyle it was a personal precision flight of there choice,, in english if pilots fly a criteria freestyle it is truely boring,,, what happened to the days of good ole PLAIN FREESTYLE,, just a wow factor was the judgeing criteria,, don't get me wrong I like QUEQUE and most of the other pilots but im my opinion they are starting to get boring in the freestyle department,, and before anyone says anything, yes I realize that QUEQUE's freestyle was hard as crap and he showed unbelievable technical flying but it was for a spectator semi boring, except for the low passes,,, the spectators want to see on the edge LOW flying,, ,risking of aircraft, true balls of steel, , like leseburgs crash, now that was it that is what freestyle was all about, he crashed but he was attempting something that had never been seen before,, it was in retrospect an advancement of the 3d world, would have raised the bar,,,,,,,, (taking a breath) just like CHIP Hyde's walk around torque roll in the TOC 2002 that is what TRUE freestyle is all about,,,, the spectators want to see down low, heart stopping flying,, and remember the spectators is who buys the products, and in theory pays the professional pilots salaries,, so unless the freestyle changes it will get to the point were the CRITERIA,,, is going to cause people to not want to watch it,,,, anyway sorry for preaching but I think some people think like I do,,
