May MD Chute-out
(05/26/05)

(May Chute-out Gallery)

This months local rodeo on the Potomac was held at upper center chute ledge. The level was a bit high for the spot to be ideal, but everyone had a great time as usual. The spot was extremely flushy, but the weather was warm and beautiful.

Fluid was well represented this month at the Chute-out. Mark, Steve, Joe, Seth, and I all competed in Flirts. Mark threw some awesome cartwheel sequences and is still recovering from knee surgery. Steve threw some sweet entry felixes into the main hole. Joe rocked the competition with a score of almost 300 pts, topping everyone in the competition by a large margin. Seth consistently threw some nice clean ends and stuck a few big loops. I threw a flurry of right ends my first ride and things went down hill from there, with some big flushes.

Sorry for only a few pics this month. During the A Class my backup photographer ended up announcing and forgot about the camera, he made a great announcer though:)
