"Results" works for me - could it be a caching issue?

Let me see if I got this straight (Martin called):

In Indi, Martin came 19th out of 34, failing to qualify by only a few points. :cool:
Chris Goff is in 17th place and has qualified for the second round (despite gusts of up to 55 (km or mp hour wasn't specified) during his section). :-D

Andy Wardley didn't hand in a registration form and therefore wasn't allowed to take part. :rolleyes:

Wind is ballistic, everyone is sand blasted. Even vented kites are struggling.

Bad luck to Martin - great attempt and lets hope Chris moves up the rankings.
Surprised that Sven and Christian scored low down and how did the guy Bruno Liosa get a zero - forget to attatch a kite to his lines...

I was surprised to see Bruno so low as his videos are normally very nice.

Randy - any idea how much specific Tricks Party practice the US team put in?

Pretty neat to see some people I "know" high up in the running after the first round.

It says that only the top 18 move on---anybody know how many move on from the second round?

It's nice to see some pictures. Some names to go w/ faces would be appreciated, if somebody is up to it.

In that case is that not (from Juha from left to right) Andy Phelps, Craig (drinking) and Martin (hood)?
