Collegates was a good time

Recommended Posts

The A&M 4-way team "Circus Cessna" did well for their first time out of the chute, they have no tunnel time and only about 150 jumps apiece, scored no zeros and learned a lot. They did come in at the back of the pack, but next year will be better for them.

FF didn't happen for me this year, my FF partner wasn't able to make it at the last minute, so I did style. I've never tried style, turned out pretty good, obviously didn't place (academy folks did...duh:P), but I did enjoy myself.

Sport Acc was where the action was at. I didn't win, but I was cranking out some pretty good swoops (as well as was Jeff Mullins, who should have won but he got knocked down in points due to the judges calling that a finger touched the ground during his swoop).

Mullins did well overall (obviously), taking home a good few medals and of course the academy folks cleaned up as well. Georga Tech and Emerory Riddle represented VERY well.

ER's FF team are my heros.;)


This was my last collegates, but I'm motivated for the Aggie team next year. The 4-way team will mostly stay intact and be MUCH more experienced AND they're going to compete in a lot of other events (a couple of them have asked to be coached in freeflying to compete in that next year as well).

So look out next year Florida, the Aggies will be back.


Give me a couple of days to recover from the drive and get my back feeling better and I'll post some videos and pics.

I guess that means you will be done with school and getting a real job:ph34r:

Yeah, I did the wrong series on the first jump...oh well, atleast Sport Acc was entertaining (even if you did get screwed, IMO). Although I'm not competing next year, the Aggies are so we'll see yall again in just under a year.B|

I was the big guy with the A&M crowd, beard and shaggy hair. Not the other guy with the REALLY shaggy beard and REALLY shaggy hair, but yeah I was hacking around a little bit. Didn't do any FF on this trip, my FF partner couldn't make it and I didn't have any money for fun jumps.

Most of the time I was sitting to the left of the competition manifest hanger playing gameboy or hanging with the rest of the Aggies between competition loads.:P

You not a bonfire person?



I am. Chris got me so drunk on Sunday night that I was hung over for 2 days. After that my back was hurting bad enough every night that I would take a handful of advil and go to bed early.

Unfortunately, I didn't party much after that first night.

Ok, I remember seeing you, hearing you talk (try to talk), etc, but I don't remember getting a chance to meet you unfortunately. Well next year we'll meet. I can't compete anymore, but I'll be there with my (then she'll be my wife) fiance and the rest of the Aggies.

I'm just lucky she's not still mad at me for the first night, when you took me away from the fire and got my slobbering drunk.:P
