This year I added AE (Artistic Events) to my skydiving judge ratings, and last night was the end of 3 intense, fun and interesting days of judging AE at the 2014 USPA Nationals. Id like to thank all the competitors and judges, as well as few mentors in my judging career so far. My past experience in the other disciplines (even though short), greatly helped me on this panel, and I appreciate everything I learned from you guys! I cant wait to see the AE discipline keeping growing in all its aspects; I believe its the only air-competition discipline that allows us to truly show the endless possibilities of visual esthetics and freedom of body-flying, that we have in our sport. Thank you Randy Connell, Eric Elijah Florio, Ron Miasnikov, James L. Hayhurst, Marylou Laughlin, Jan Andersson, Andy Clements, Kristina Kiefer, Amanda Festi, Brian Festi, Tyfani Detky, Nathan Smith, Robin Kellam, Nadia Kellam, Katie Peterson, Lisa Krakau, Damien Germano, Felix Castillo, Andy Locke, Starkey John, Kristian Nilsson, Brent Witt, Bohn Mike, Chad Ross, Colby McNeil, Chaz Smidt, Chad Henderson, T.j. Mullins, Roberto Villalobos Jr., David Hanley, Jeff Kauffman Jr. and congrats to the winners!
