My new Solution Ad

JoMopro continued

Ok, sorry for the delay. As I was saying, after the amatuer classes were done the entire Indy crew got going down the long hill in the parking lot. Scott Byrd was doing crackpackers clear into the sunset. I did manage a few variations for quite a way as did Chris Armstrong. The clear winners of this improvisional contest were Scott and Cooper who did a backpacker as long as Scott's crackpacker. Much fun was had as many of the other contestants joined in on the fun. Back to the hotel where Jake could be found eating much junkfood from his travellers meal bag. Chris and I could not resist the opportunity to haze Scott a bit, so we forced him to make us both Big Mac style peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before he was allowed to eat. I had ice on my knee for the next few hours so I'd be able to ride on saturday. Lights out.

Saturday morning I again awoke to find Jake under the desk ( he must have a really big desk @ home) and Marty @ home on the floor. Brant had to deal with Scott laying sideways across the bed they were sharing and again many tales of snoring would follow. A couple cups of coffee and we were off to the comp. practice was rad and I finally pulled my original trick for Mark Dandridges camera, needless to say, I was stoked. Cooper kicked major ass and wound up getting third place and a samarai sword for his efforts. After the comp ended many long goodbyes were said and we were headed home. Jake took the wheel for the majority of the trip, thanks Jake. Cooper again was soiling his drawers everytime the roads got wet or there was a truck near us.

Let me say again that the people and the facility @ JoMoPro are the finest I've ever seen. I cannot wait for next year. L8r, Joe

JoMoPro RULES!!

Ok, we, Chris Armstrong, Jake Jackson, Brandt Hughes,Scott Byrd, Andy Cooper and Myself drove all the way to Joplin Mo in a 15 passenger van that Jake had rented. All I can say about the trip is, Cooper is terribly afraid of rain and large trucks. Nuff said. We got there thursday night, checked out the contest area and settled in @ the hotel. The next morning I awoke to find Jake sleeping under the desk and Marty Clark in the middle of the floor. Many tales of snoring would soon follow. After we all cleaned up we headed to the Waffle House for some grub. It was here I saw Art Thomason for the first time in years, great guy, glad he's doing well.
When we got to the contest area we all started warming up. Let me say that the floor was the best contest suface I've ever seen. I soon was introduced to Chad Johnston and he is one of the coolest and genuine people I've ever met. He said he was putting me and my trick on the alltime trick list he's working on. Needless to say I'm way stoked.The comp started with Jake Jackson pulling all of his tricks and making the Indy crew look good from the get go. Scott Byrd had some trouble pulling his run together, but was KILLING it all weekend long. He even learned stick-b's in roughly 30 minutes on sunday.Brandt hughes qualified 2nd in expert and wound up 5th, Chris Armstrong had some probs with his signature cliff hanger, but did manage a double boomerang to brakeless decade link that rocked the house. This is all I have time to write @ the moment, I'll post the rest of the trip tomorrow. Stay tuned. L8r, Joe
