[Nkwazi]

Forgot to mention that 3 LEGENDS are competing - Andy Kaspersen, Steve Roe and Jenya Zozulya. I hear that their mission is to beat Skin

[Big-D]

Sounds cool - Those 3 okes must have like 40 000 hours between them - I will fly in and come watch

[Nkwazi]

No David, you'll fly in and take part!!

[Big-D]

Yes dad

Sounds lekker - Basie has his money on Andy

You are wrong David,
My money is on STEVEN

[Stephan van Tonder]

Well if you had your money on Andy you were safe.
What a lekker day. Started off with the weather a little doubtfull and the ceiling was too low for the toilet roll cut so we changed it into a toilet roll flour bomb. Was my first comp - I probably came stone last but had a lot of fun doing it.
First 5
1) Andy Kaspersen - ace of base
2) Jenya Zozulya
3) Jacques Lambert
4) Hendrik Loots
5) Steve Roe

Tasks were 3 touch and goes in 3 different deck blocks.
Bomb onto deck 2
High Speed run windsock to windsock (won by Coenrad Du Preez with his topless 582 windlass)
Most horizontal figure of Eigths in 2 minutes between 2 pylons 200 metres apart. This was harder than it sounds.

I would have loved to come and watch, but had to turn back to Kitty 3 miles north of Microland as the mist was on the deck.
Sorry I missed it.
