I think Devon had more guts than any of us!!!

I know for a fact that Bob tucked the mic and turned tail once or twice, i know quite a few people including myself that were bailing during some of the freestyle maneuvers.....

Devon, nah, he stood there and cheered louder!

What an amazing event, and I am truely thankful to have been apart of it and look forward to seeing it flourish.

btw.... Vote for Pedro. ( Pride)

Marian....thank you and all the other judges for spending your holiday weekend judging. Curiosity has the best of me though. Just wondering how you ended up with Andy Kane's initial on the inside of your arm without even knowing about it. ( I think this smiley face reminds me of Andy) Oh well....don't ask...don't tell!

Chuck, congrats on your weekend. You're going to have to visit us up here soon and hopefully show us some of those prize winning moves. It's starting to get me interested in learning this stuff.

Sorry to be repetitious...but,

John...thanks for your vision and your sacrifices to carry on what your dad started. Thanks for investing in this hobby and in a lot of young guys to make them better "men"...not just pilots.

Tina...thanks for your support and hard work! Thanks for opening up your home and for working your fingers to the bone to make sure everyone had an outstanding time!

Thanks Joe for all you did. Most people don't know the months you put into organizing this. I guess a thanks is in order to Lockheed/Martin for not firing your butt and donating hours upon hours of your time to the event! Wanna do it again?

Wayne...you da man!!!! Judging went smoothly! All the arestis were in order and challenging. Thanks for all you did! BTW...Ty's advanced unknown was the most difficult sequence I've EVER flown! It gave me a black eye! (I still enjoyed it though!)

Here are some pictures of our man Devon, helping Animal fly his freestyle. I noticed at the beginning of the week, Devon was backing up when Andrew go close to them, later he didn't.
