Todd's save was amazing... I think it might be the first wing departure in HD. Video should be popping up somewhere soon. Also Mark's save at the beginning of his freestyle was also amazing. Most of us mortals would have just started looking for the trash bags. As for the Stiletto that thing hit hard. It had to have been between 1 and 1/4 and 150 when it went in. The motor actually looked pretty good. It was a 170 machined down and running alky... 10,000 RPM... Damn.

Hats of to Chris and also AJ, I have no clue how to judge freestyle but if the crowd is involved you are two of the favorites...

Sorry I didn't catch the initial wing-off event, but you will get the idea.

Tex,
Basically a beer chugging contest on a scale that surpasses what you did back in college.....
Pretty much a sure thing for Team USA usually..... They only lose when they been dragged out of the drunk tank at the local sherriff's office the night before! LOL!
WT
When the beer is really cold, the ROW is out of luck. They like their beer a little warmer than we do and it really affects their performance.

Thank you! I am a long-time lurker here. Am I in jeopardy of stepping on the big-time videographer's toes by posting these videos? I don't want to offend anyone, I just want to share an awesome experience!
