Bullshitery. I didn't win, and I didn't win a mug. What a crock.
Seriously though, 1st place was not my winner. I have flown a SIN extensively in good wind and found it to give away most tricks but particularly the taz machine unlike even a Cosmic TC. It's an
easy kite to fly, and for this competition, I had to take that into account. I simply cannot score a taz machine the same for all kites anymore, and without those as trump, it's much harder to see a clear winner in this field. Therefore, I gave my 1st place to another, with Dave H. close behind. I thought Dave's video was awesome, esp. given he is not flying a gimme kite. It takes some serious skills to get a taz out of a DS.
All the same, congrats on a great 1st place video, and congrats to all for a great round. Thanks again Mike for making this happen. I'd love to run it, but I'd probably run it into the ground. However, if there is NO ONE else to call, and you can find me, you can hire the Jay-team.
