TGunn Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Stephen, Look at this URL: http://johnnmitchell.vlexo.com/3-Photograp...aloupe1997.htmlfor pictures from the Guadeloupe competition that I doubt you have ever seen. John M, Thanks for posting the link to the Guadeloupe pics, they bring back fond memories. I remember one of the Robertshaw brothers, and Barresi spranging their ankles from stepping in one of the large ground cracks. And the UCPA where we all stayed at was hot and humid with no air conditioning, the beach party tug-o-war between the AKA & STACK, The bikini model show, the limbo world champion, and the great night fly show! It's too bad thatthe founder of the event "Eric Rotan" passed away before the event, or perhaps the event may still be going on each year. It was a one of a kind event, that's for sure! BTW - I have 14 hours of video from the event. You remember the guy from OKC that had traveled with our team there (John Donnell) that went to the same high school as you, in OKC, and that stayed drunk all the time, and always had the camera in everyone's face? He took the videos, and actually did a decent job. He took video of all the night partys, all of the Team Ballet and Team precision competitions. I also still have the promo video that was done by my friends from ESPN that did the professional video there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnmitchell Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I wouldn't know the answer to this question, but I do know that I like the look of those revs. The design is the work of the graphics artist Jørgen Møeller Hansen of Denmark.

johnnmitchell Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 It's the Decs and maybe in italy Chervia ? Spelled "Cervia" and all is correct! The correct Italian pronunciation sounds more like chervia. For those who are not familiar with Decs, Decs is the short name for the Decorators. Gary, it is now time for you to come up with a mystery photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrunya Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 This may be easy for you guys, but for a person like myself, who is very much clueless towards the knowlage of Competators, it is incredibly hard. I don't recognize one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
