Congrats to Chayne and the other finalists! Can't wait to see the pics! Thanks to all for welcoming our groms!

(Update) Jim Brown says our guys did really well for themselves over there - no doubt against some really tough competition. Here's a summary of finals:

Juniors Division

Jarvis Cinnas 1st
Sam Coyne 2nd
Andy Whitehead 3rd
Sebastian Perez 4th

Cadets

Shane Whitehouse 1st
Michael Hood 2nd
Sebastian Perez 3rd
Travis Cinnas 4th

Again, congrats to all - hopefully we can return the favor and host some Aussie groms over here!

Congratulations to everyone! I bet it was an epic contest looking at some of the air shots Steen has posted.

The boys are in the air, assuming they made their flights, and will be back in the states tomorrow morning. I'll bet they've got some stories to tell.

Thanks again to their Aussie hosts and all who contributed to make this trip possible.

Way to go Sam and "Sea Bass". That was a quick blitz for the distance traveled. Looking forward to seeing you guys in O'side; sounds like you made the most of an incredible opputunity.
Congrats to all the open finalist

Cheers, Wayne

I would personally like to thank all the naysayers for helping to make this whole junior grom trip a reality. Without your complete commitment to provide absolutely no support and constant negativity none of this would have been possible!

Take a bow gentlemen!

Hey guys,
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made this trip possible. It was seriously the expierence of a lifetime. One of the only vacations where I was begging for more.

The competition was super fun and a great eye opener, with a very intense final. I have the even more intense finals comming up in school, so I hope to see you guys in oceanside for a more detailed experience.

Thanks so much again for the support!

-Sam Coyne
