I am sorry for laughing but I don't think I ever saw directions for a fly in before even though two close friends are ATC and I cracked up when I read that.

so i was sitting with the kids by the active watching the s.t.o.l. compition, and this guy completly blew his landing, bounced a couple of times, and then started skidding - right at me and the kids.  i knocked my son downand covered him while my daughter ran. the guys tire hits the fence 1 foot from me and then slides down the entire length into another fence just missing 3 other people :shock: . i didnt film him cause i thought he was boring - boy was i wrong. i got photo's of the aftermath though - will post them soon. earlier i was there on the tiger - and as usual, i was the only bike, but later there was a couple of dudes on bikes. all in all a pretty cool day. 8)
