This is me in my eighth season. It still happens no matter how long you do it. I post it as encouragement, and hopefully a laugh, rather than discouragement. http://ussfstrong.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=2&lid=9 - http://ussfstrong.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid =2&lid=9 ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDLgedB70IQ -John Shingler |

looked good until the part where you fell down...I have seen a lot worse. I don't have it on tape but my first comp (I had touched the implements for the first time the week before) I did okay in the 56 somehow managing to get it out to 19' on a single spin...so I got a big head and thought I could do a double with the 28 and I spun hard and I spun fast and the weight threw me further than I threw the weight...I shot out the side of the trig at a dead sprint with my upper body parallel to the ground. I was fortunate enough to stay upright but after I "ran it out" and turned back to the trig laughing...the judge calmly said "foul, you need to exit the trig under control".

Thanks for the video. I had my first competition about a month ago and was humbled to say the least. A buddy of mine took a video of the 56# taking me for a waltz and I would have sworn it was being played in slow motion...but alas it was not. ------------- Waltz outside the box |
