superstu 0 #1 July 19, 2005 So the NWCPC had their 3rd meet at Skydive Snohomish in Washington this weekend with great success. This meet showed the biggest turn out so far with 10 competitors including 2 pro pilots Eldon Burrier and Luke Aikins of team XAOS. The day started out questionable at best with heavy mist/ rain, but in true NW fashion the sky broke around 2pm and the game was on. We started this competition with distance and it set the pace for a great day. This event was very tight up until the begining of round 2 of distance where the current NWCPC points leader Tom Phillips busted a huge personal and regional record of 366'. The only other competitor to go over 300' was Luke Aikins at 304'. Accuracy was next and again proved to be some of the most enternaining rounds of the competition. competitors now had to deal with a slight down wind push which developed during the course set up. a few people scored zero's in the accuracy course which effectively put them out of the running for top spots. Speed was last but proved how much everyone had improved over the season already. At this event only 3 people had gate strikes compared to almost everyone at the first meet and nearly half at the 2nd. Luke Aikins and Eldon Burrier also provided great information and experiences on how to fly the course and what they saw some of the advanced competitors doing. With this new knowledge there were again regional record times going through the speed course, with many people being under the 3.0 second mark. The knowledge gained at this last meet from both Eldon Burrier, who placed 2nd overall at NWCPC event 2, and Luke Aikins was priceless and helped out all advanced competitors greatly. Along with this knowledge the 3 top winners also recieved cash and prizes from: Infinity Performance Designs Alti-2 Body Sport USA Opening Shock and, Hop N' Pop productions I would also like to thank our chief judge Scott R and the rest of our judges: Bryan J, Paul, Crystal, and Charlie, for making this event happen. They did a great job again. Below are all the individual results and the next meet will be held at Eugene Skydivers on August 13/14th. Congratulations to our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners; Tom Phillips, Daniel Self, and Bryan Gile. See you all at the next meet! *=Guest Overall: 1st: Tom Phillips xaos *Luke Aikins xaos *Eldon Burrier xaos 2nd: Dan Self velocity 3rd: Bryan Gile vx 4th: Stuart Schoenfeld vx 5th: Luke Nevin xaos 6th: Todd Higgley xaos 7th: Rob Irwin vx 8th: Steve Schierberl katana Distance: *Luke Aikins- 261, 304 *Eldon Burrier- 254, 253 Tom Phillips- 156, 366 Luke Nevin- 269, 190 Stuart Schoenfeld- 191, 290 Dan Self- 236, 224 Steve Schierberl- 144, 210 Todd Higgley- 166, 171 Bryan Gile- 0, 224 Rob Irwin- 213, 0 Accuracy: Tom Phillips- 45, 53 *Luke Aikins- 20, 49 Dan Self- 28, 37 Bryan Gile- 33, 24 *Eldon Burrier- 28, 29 Luke Nevin- 16, 21 Stuart Schoenfeld- 0, 32 Todd Higgley- 0, 18 Rob Irwin- 15, 0 Steve Schierberl- 0, 0 Speed: *Luke Aikins- 2.47, 2.17 Tom Phillips- 2.73, 2.53 *Eldon Burrier- 2.90, 2.70 Bryan Gile- 2.73, 2.97 Todd Higgley- 3.83, 3.30 Stuart Schoenfeld- 7.90, 2.57 Dan Self- 8.17, 3.30 Luke Nevin- 7.97, 3.53 Steve Schierberl- 30.00, 30.00 Rob Irwin- 30.00, 30.00Slip Stream Air Sports Do not go softly, do not go quietly, never back down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
