I really enjoyed this years Old Dominion Sport Kite Championship.
I have hear that in the past years there was a little bit of mud,
but this year's event was VERY DRY.  I have the sunburn to prove it!
I think the Arnold's did a very good job as well as all the staff
to make this a great and memorable occasion.

Saturday was a mixture of wind speeds (My guess was 0 to 8 MPH),
but we saw some amazing performances.  The one I keep thinking about
was a ballet by Emanuel (Sorry I can remember the last name) were he 
did a 360, helecopters, axels and wing tip stands with his patchwork
ZDX.  I also saw some great performances by Merick Monday flying his
Symphony and Sandy Wagner with a Zero Wind Deca.  In the team section
I really enjoyed "Late for Supper" and their Ballet routine to the 
James Bond theme and the Valley Boys with their pairs routine to 
"I heard it through the Grape Vine" with two GIANT kites.

Sunday held winds that were perfect for most kites (7 to 15+ MPH)
and was VERY HOT!  I tried out a Speed limit for my first time and
the Symphony.  I enjoyed both kites and will probably own one of
each before the year's over.  I remember a very impressive team
ballet routine by the Valley Boys and a Quad routine by (?) that 
involved a 4 Diamond kites on a single cross spar.

Sunday afternoon the big winners were the Valley boys with atleast 5
(if not more awards).  I recall person asking if they were going to
build a deck with all that wood.

I think that Richond, VA was a prefect sight for ODSKC and would put
my vote in for it to be held there again next year.  I also think
that it being held with the Virginia State Games was an excellent 
decision and did much to increase the visiblity of our Sport

Thanx for the kudos (or is that cudos, who knows), but if we're gonna use
the name lets spell it rite.  That'd be Valli Boyz.  

Can't stand it when people can't get the spelling wright.

Grate wins,

The location was great, the staff did a great job and having the Virginia
Games include ODSKC as a kite event was an added bonus.  Perfect
event, do it again next year, but a little less heat.

Things that would be nice to add for next year would be a night fly.
We had an unofficial night fly on Saturday (fun stuff) and Rock battles.
