HEY ALL OF YOU.
The awards are taking place, I finish taking pictures of the winners, and EVERYONE IS GONE, ROTW INCLUDED.

I tried in vein to find a soul.

I say it was a forfeit by everyone! I stayed at that dust bowl for 1 hour after the event ended looking for people to race.

I was told the event was ready to go BY MAX, all I had to do was organize the peopl eafter the awards into the two teams... and there was no one there.

Official FG Bad Ass!: Hand selected award for being a BAD-ASS member, and an awesome dude in general. - Issue reason: Feral gets this award for being the first person that we know of who tatted a model airplane manufacturer to his ankle. Now that's bad-ass dedication to a kick-ass hobby. Nice job dude!

Feral, Max said it was organized... I just had to get the people together... so BLAME THE SOURCE OF THE BLAME.
How could I get beer or Cups or anything when I am covering an event???!

I take no fault. As soon as I could attempt to get the event organized everyone was gone. BUT I was also under the assumption that there was cups, beer and a table already.

Ahem MAteys.

The ROTW was still in waiting way after the event had finished and the prizes dished out.

Looks like we have it for the next 365 days.

But to appease the situation here is the first of the freestyle vids. I dont have them alland likely wont get them all up tonight either but I will try.

Chris Brislin first up.
