QQ & Kyle Free S

[TonyThomasian]

sleepy is right! Anyone who could make it down to Tuscon, they are winners for sure!

Based on the judging criteria... it was QQ....
Based on my own FreeStyle Criteria... it was Kyle...
Based on Crowd appeal... Kyle!!! (And Jeffry Szueber was killer too)
QQ is the best overall pilot there (IMHO)
However... his freestyle was technically difficult, but looked like a sequence.... lacked a bit of "Art" (IMHO)...
If every stroke of the brush is perfect... it is a picture and not a painting....
Kyle was "painting"

But UltimateJ Woulda kicked all their Arses if he was there!!!!! (OKAY!!! IMHO)

Are they gonna let go the bottom 3 flyers in invitational, and promote the top 3 Unlimited flyers from this year with an 07invite to keep invitational list fresh..

Ya know, I was just reading this thread and looking at the voting results. I want you to look "IN RED" who voted for QQ.

Kyle you my son are a class act, and VERY deserving of the title.

I can't wait to see what you bring to the table next year!

He's pretty smart too. You should have seen him nailing a bunch of MENSA questions a couple of years ago on a different site. This kid is a genius. Well done Kyle and QQ, you guys are awesome.

Just goes to show he is a class act competitor. Much more than some competitors who were trashing his freestyle routine when the contest was still going on. It's one thing for the general public to critique his routine but for another competitor to do so is poor sportsmanship especially when the competition was not over.

By the way does anyone know who all sponsors Kyle now? I believe his talent level warrants major sponsorship along with other top pilots.

I was there for the first day of freestyle and all the freestyle guys were pulling out the stops. There was one guy that I didn't think needed to be competing in it, especially since they lowered the number of contestants this year. When I saw this guy fly, I was suprised that he made it and Frasier, AJ, and some others that have proven their worthiness didn't. I saw Kyle's first freestyle, and regardless of any speculation about everything, he deserved that second place finish and I am sure he is darn proud to have come within 5 points of beating the Godfather.
Now, his second flight definitely dirtied the tailwheel - why it didn't get zeroed is beyond me. Regardless, it's the judges ruling and I know Kyle was in control the whole time.

"QQ have the style"

Whats the point of debating this... If Kyle is happy and no one is contesting the fact that both QQ and KYLE had AWESOME flights... then all that should be said is Congratulations...

Scheesche... let people enjoy thier wins with out "conspiracy theories"

QQ, KYLE - Congratulations!! I wish I had 15% of your guys skills!!!

Hey Guy, Thanks a bunch. It was a blast. I'm at he Airport right now on my way home. Just wanted to say that my 2nd flight was indeed zeroed. But we drop one freestyle round. So i threw that score away.

Frazier and a few others did make it in, but chose not to fly. They were definatly allowed to fly in it. I beleive 5 guys turned down the freestyle by choice

QQ, Jason N., Bil H., Chip H., Jeff S., Zak W., Bernd B., Andrew J., Martin M., Jean Claude, Mark L., and Jason S. are all amazing pilots. and I was Honored to be flying with all of them.

Definatly the highlight of my year.

Kyle...

Flying skills can be learned...

Being a sportsman can't, you either have it in your personality or you don't.

Most of the top pilots have both skills and sportsmanship.

And let me say, you Sir have both, and you fit right in!!

Congratulations!
