It was great to have the stream video - I spent about 5 hours watching it. Great show and coilers indeed smile BIG thanks to TU guys for the video link.

I just posted my pictures and videos on the front page of the site, here: Link2

Personal highlights, off the top of my head:

* Meeting Steve Ward and Jimmy Hynes. Both incredibly nice guys who are clearly passionate about coiling. Steve plays a pretty mean bass, too.

* Climbing inside the cage of death. Completely nuts, unabashedly awesome.

* Jeff Mullins. Great guy, really enjoys teaching people about the hobby, especially kids. Every time he started doing something, a crowd gathered to watch and listen.

* Watching Terry Blake suit up and go toe-to-toe with Fatboy. Just an amazing spectacle.

Is it 2012 yet or what?

I must say I attended the thon last year, and this year and I really really enjoined my self. Looking foreword to next year when we will be bringing the big 7 foot DRs. I think are big DRs will like a change to attack the cage of death. BTW the cage of death was better than any thrill ride out there!


Thanks again Dr spark and Dr Hank for hosting such a great event! Looking forward to next year. amazed
