Thanks to the whole FG staff for making this one awesome event! We had a blast, and are already looking forward to next year! We were so very honored to be able to introduce the dreaded "zero of eight" to Connecticut, and, to back it up with the seemingly impossible "negative zero of eight." It was a sight to behold....

And Snap, what a guy! He invites a few hundred of his closest friends to his house for a party, where we drink all his beer, trash his yard, and burn his airplanes. He shows his appreciation by inviting a belly dancer for us!! We love this man.

That picture is great. You really do look like you are about to push him down the stairs! LOL!

Actually it was the other way around. The cap did the dunk and the extra was flying in from the left when they hit.

Yes he did but unfortunately, being the CD I had to intervene, after all that close 3D hucking and in your face hovering, I had to ground Andy and take his AMA card away from him well at least temporary.
It wasn't easy giving him back his card and AMA statutes, I had to be convinced the old fashion way, he promised it will not happen again and our pres Dave Mathewson was behind all the convincing, here is few pics of what happened.
