It would be better if I had filmed the whole camp, but I did not have the camera life and I knew I did not have the time and patience to edit that much video.

that's awesome-O! i taped his briefing at the vault summit on pole speed. i'll have to double check the quality but could probably post that somewhere.

anyway, i was hoping at the end he say, "Two days ago I saw a vehicle that'd haul that tank-AH! You wanna get outta here, you talk to me. [/thick aussie accent]"

The best teacher I have seen work in 25 years of teaching...When you watch the video listen to the process he uses for his presentation and the way he makes it seem possible for everyone to learn the skill. I had access to him for a week.
Very good time.

That was awesome! Its great to hear someone else articulate the principles behind exactly how I try to teach the swing. Now I have a better understanding of how to convey this to my kids. Thanks Becca and Alan. Makes me wish I could have made it down for that.

Becca - hope youve got a good lawyer! I think it is illegal in the USA to use images of any individual for commerical reason/gain without their permission -or even without their knowledge!!
