Hey to all,
The first day of competition started at 8 in the morning, because the forecast said the wind would die throughout the afternoon. Everything was going smoothly and after the riders meeting I rigged up my kites. My first Heat was against Ruben Lenten from the Netherlands. The wind was blowing about 20 knots and I rigged my 12 and was ready to go. Ruben was on an 11 and had less power than me. The heat started with a bang I threw a backmobe, slimchance, kiteloopflat3, switch backmobe, kgb, frontmobe and the biggest kiteloop slimchance of my life. While Ruben doing less powered tricks and crashing alot, I knew I had won this heat. I was more powered and I went bigger landing all my tricks. Yet when I went to check the board Ruben had won my heat! Putting me in the doubles for today. I tell you this I am mad and I pitty whoever is in my heats today. I have another chance through the doubles to work my way back up and I will. Nothing is official yet! I will let all of you know the results tonight. Thanks for all your support, I could not be here if it weren't for all of you guys. Don't worry I will make you proud; Crazyfly and the Wildcat Kite Crew. There will be some major butt kicking unleashed by Rocky of the Portland Texas Wildcat Kite Crew!!!!!
