Baller Kelvin Posted August 10, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2016 @mattp Elgin is in Men 11 and jumps about 31 feet. Unfortunately, he hasn't landed a jump this year and didn't land any at Nationals. When he does land it, it will be a new National Record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller lakeaustinskier Posted August 10, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 10, 2016 I want to be Elgin when I grow up. He drives a red Mustang GT and loves life. The man has the most positive attitude of anyone I've ever met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted August 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2016 @MattP Elgins three jumps at nationals were all much closer to riding away than regionals. Story has it that he was told that some bigger jumpers would help his landings. His response basically was "I can do that!" What you see is the work product of a guy who has unlimited enthusiasm and a creative mind. I want to grow up to be just like him! I did ask him why he put those "antique" bindings on a brand new pair of jumpers ... He said "oh no, their brand new too!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted August 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 11, 2016 Friends of Elgin should warn him that taking off without knowing how to land will get him on the terrorist watch list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Sethro Posted August 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hey, that's my next door neighbor in the orange! His 97ft jump is simply an awesome story! 80 years old next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jimbrake Posted August 12, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 12, 2016 @sethro - 97 feet at that age is super impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller klindy Posted August 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2016 @jimbrake Bruce's first jump was a plop which was tips down immediately off the top of the ramp. Second jump was also a plop that he rode away. He slipped his arm into his sling and surprised us all (most of us at least!) with a big cut at the last jump. It was impressive to say the least!!

Baller Sethro Posted August 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 13, 2016 He apparently got talked into "plopping" but that is not his mentality whatsoever. I tried to talk him into a compromise of maybe a 3/4 cut and land some 50-60' jumps as I didn't want to see him get hurt...but he showed me! And he tweaked his hamstring/quad tricking the day before, so I was pretty surprised to hear his news when I got the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted August 14, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 14, 2016 @Jody_Seal Your kid rocks! He put on a great show at night after putting his heart into the Nationals competition. Steven is not the only one who rocked Nationals. Even if you finished DFL (like me - Jody, thanks for the photo recognition) you were a true contributor. Congratulations to all the competitors and medalists! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ToddL Posted August 15, 2016 Baller Share Posted August 15, 2016 @Dirt - Tiara (3rd place, 2.5 @ -28) just learned the course three years ago. First ever pass was this time in 2013. She's learned correct form from the beginning and has had a few lessons from @TFIN, so there ya go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
