Default MA 3D Competitions?

I'm looking for a 3D competition up in Massachusetts. I recently got into 3D flying, and I really have excelled at it. I can do pretty much anything from Knife edge, to rolling harriers with the rudder a few inches off the ground! So I really want to enter a 3D competition near me. One issue I do have is that I'm a mere 13 years old. I have been told that many competitions don't allow anybody under the age of 15 to compete. So are there any 3D competitions up in Massachusetts that would let me compete?

sorry to burst your bubble bro! But there isn't many things called 3D competitions...........there are huckfests though
Maybe you can show off your skills at the "SNAP A HUCKFEST" Massachussets Huckfest from July 31-Aug 2! If you go! See you there man! YOu'll get to show off your "skillz" So what do you fly? remember foamies don't count. they're too easy to 3D with (sorry foamie guys!) maybe you should look into IMAC competitions. Those allow some competition. And you could put together a 3D Freestlye routine for the freestyle portion of the event. Good luck! And take Care! See you at the Huckfest!

I have an 88" yak 54 that I could fly. I will try to get to the huckfest. It's pretty soon, so I probably won't compete, as I don't have a freestyle routine made yet.

The Huckfest is not a competition... it is a fun fly.

Great place to go and hang out and just fly!

remember freestyle is not all about how low you can go. I have personally seen someone do all precision aerobatics and flew nicely to music and beat a guy that almost scraped the tail several times or got low a lot doing 3D.

Thanks for that tip. When I enter any freestyle "tournaments," I will remember to vary my precision flying with crazy 3D. How long does a usual routine last? They usually give you a time limit, I assume.
