Kyles freestyle was unreal. In my opinion it was worth a first. Quique's was good, but Kyles was awesome. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I never seen any of these guys fly, and man do I SUCK!!! Looks like I've got alot of llearning to do.

Remember, there is no score for "low flying" in the judging criteria. If you break QQ's flight down and apply it to the judging criteria it will better make sense. If you want an airshow, Kyle has it hands down, no contest. BUT.....this is not an airshow, this is a freestyle contest. I am not by any means trying to put down Kyle's free, I just think he should pay a little more closer attention to the judging criteria so he can improve on his placings. Kyle got away wth one big time today by touching his tailwheel on the ground. Everyone saw it (including him I'm sure) That's an instant DQ. I agree with you that his frestyle is amazing, but I do not think he should have beat QQ. Jason |

Not completely sure to be honest with you........... The group of about 20 people I was standing with saw it clear as day. No big deal, everybody get's away with one every once in a while. Jason |

It was a very fast and very low rolling half loop. It would have been sick if he would have pulled it off plus I really wanted to see the rest of his free style becuase the start was pretty nice, but u know things happen.

| Bad-ass Super Contributer!  | Re: More From Tuscon
I agree Jason.....seems to me that anymore that freestyle has become a contest of who can get the lowest and closest to the ground, yea, its exciting to watch and takes some skill, but to me freestyle is still very precision flying but flown to music, or it should be. Thought that was what freestyle was all about ?
