We had three great days for jumping this past weekend up in Fox River Grove where the kids showed some up and down jumps on the big K70 meter that was in great shape after some heavy rain that wiped the jumps out a week earlier. We had Annie, Miles, Luke, Matt, Nate, Danielle, Spencer, Zach, and Sam come with Dave and I to Chicago and test their game on some of the best juniors in the country and some learned that they have some work to do if they want to be named to the JO team and some learned they have a ways to go if they want to be called the JO champ come March.
Many of them failed to finish their jumps off with landings putting them off the podium and some off the top of the podium. All showed good signs of improvement and did not get discouraged when they had a bad jump knowing there was a second round to improve and make up ground on the others. The trip was kept interesting with games of beat the heat in the van ride, Late night high stakes poker games where David made most of his coaching wage, and NHL 09 on xbox.
