A min. age 30 would help

Make them have to look in the pits while they fly.

Make them fly with their hands behind their backs!

Wait a minute, Alex already does that.

Just bring GUITAR HERO to every event! Kids just can't resist it. They will be to involved to worry about flying.

Maybe we need an under 25 class - and make them all fly unlimited. Punks! Oh well, they keep us from getting too cocky I guess.

I like your ideas Wayne and Chris...I'll take a 20, please!

Hey Butch & Chris ... I just passed the 15 point league. So I guess I'm not that far behind you. It really is hard keeping up with the youth though. At the same time we do have to make way for their enthusiasm & talent & accept that they are going to get better.

One very important thing..... The younger generation IS the future of this sport/hobby and we, as leaders, MUST ensure that they have a safe and fair environment in which to "play". THAT is our responsibility.

That's OK, I'll bet next year Steve will not do so good against Spencer ! These young pilots just keep getting better all the time and we stay about the same so they will zoom right past us in no time !

thank god i am not a 5th grader

All in good fun guys - the "young guns" are the ones we've got to appeal to for the longivity of our club. Still look forward to catching one of those under twenty on a bad day at a contest though! Where's my bonus points?
