Just wonderin if there are any New Englanders on the posting board, and if so give me a shot out, New England this season suked, the weather was horrible, i had 4 outdoor meets the rest were cancelled or i was jumping inside and 3 of them were big meets like big east, new englands( not really big) and IC4As, didnt get much jumping in at all. I want to move outwest. if you are from new england and hate the weather tell me because im sure i hate just as much, i also think it is one of the reasons you dont see to many big name jumpers coming out of New England i have the new England highschool record at 15 8 and that isnt even high compared to the kids outwest, it makes me upset. no indoor season is also a bummer too. :mad: aggression,

I'm not from NE but I live here now. Yeah the weather really was terrible...still terrible. Finding a place to jump indoors is a pain, especially if yer not affiliated with the college. I guess I was spoiled when I was jumping in the southwest.

I think Vaultngus is from 'round here.

Went to college in NE - meet starts out sunny and warm - storm rolls in - sleet - ice - 1/4 on everything - hour later it is sunny - fun watching 400 m guys sliding all voer - we jumped before it came in

"goofiest"??? well I guess I can handle that adjective. I was hoping more for "odd" or "eccentric" :)

Yeah I'm from New England originally and now. Hard to believe I actually spent a good 16 years of my life in even worse climes. The move back to New England meant a move to MILDER winters comapred to what we dealt with up in Rochester, NY. Those of you who have had the pleasure to live near Lake Ontario during the winter - all my brothers and sisters in the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse areas - will know what I'm talking about.

Glad to see ya on the board Jake the Snake now stop crying and make 16 feet will ya?
